⚔️ — lw&co confessions

Where are the Lockwood/ftm!reader posts, I need those on my feed 🫣

I wish we got a little more about how La Belle Dame Sans Merci works. Like, I get that she’s a changer, but how does she actually lure people around? Simply turning into the woman her victim is in love with surely isn’t enough to lure EVERY VICTIM around. I find it a little hard to believe that Lockwood fell for it for so long, considering that he’s shown to be pretty dang preceptive/intelligent, like with the Annie Ward case in the first book. Maybe it’s said in the books that La Belle Dame can hypnotize people, but I can’t remember since it’s been years since I read the series lmao (I’m currently rereading it tho :3)

I’m glad Lockwood &. Co is getting a graphic novel but I’m afraid if I read it, it’s going to alter my perception of the characters and tank my wips :(

Kind of an add on of another confession but I don't get Kipps being shipped with his team.

I’m genuinely not trying to start something with the previous anon, but their comment made me think of something -

i think the fact that the monster mash is tagged "#kinktober prompts" is really weird considering majority of the characters on there are minors ☹️

I prefer GeorCy over LockLyle (I do enjoy LockLyle and Cot3 is my favorite L&Co. ship but I'm never getting over George and Lucy they're so important to me)

I think it's a shame that no one really cares about the world building, esp in the books!! There's so many little details that are different from our world and I love talking about all the possibilities but it seems nobody gaf

i never really understood shipping any of cot3 with kipps because he's losing his talent so obviously that means he's probably like early 20s while cot3 are teenagers

I don’t rlly feel like locklyle would ever actually happen 😔 it’s obv not canon in the books, but if the show didn’t get cancelled it would probably get made canon, but it would be soooo out of character imo. Their dynamic in the books is not healthy at all, and they’re both aware of this, and while Lucy definitely had a crush on him, I don’t think he really liked her back in that way?? And if he actually did, and they did get together, I don’t think it would be endgame. There would be a VERY messy breakup after a couple of months that would ruin the mental health of everyone in a 5+ mile radius

i love the show and i’m heartbroken it got cancelled, but i feel like while on the surface it’s super book accurate, it changed a lot of the deeper meanings/vibes of the book. i will die on the hill that the tv show is a supernatural-mystery, whereas the book is a comedy-horror (they both have elements of all of them, but yeah…) all the characters are made more likeable/reasonable in the show, especially lockwood, and i feel like there’s a certain element of class politics getting ignored in the show (“don’t they have newspapers up north?”), which is added to by lucy having a reasonably posh yorkshire (?) accent rather than a working class northumberland accent like she would have had in the books. also how barnes, the skull and kipps are characterised… no hate to the actors bc they were all amazing, but i feel like the show tried too hard to make everything super cool and exciting, and therefore missed out on a lot of the books’ humour, heart and overall vibe… like also the bit in book 1 where they drive from the station to combe carey?? in the book it’s a rlly uncomfortable taxi ride and the driver asks if he can have their kit bags after the trio dies, but in the show they get to drive there in a super cool open top car- i feel like this sums up the overall vibe shift from book to show… also i don’t like how they speed-ran lockwood’s suicidal-ness and his and lucy’s relationship- like i totally get why they did it but it annoys me sm 😭 anyway this makes it sound like a hate the show and i rlly rlly don’t, i love it, but i feel like no one talks about any of this

Unpopular opinion: none of the characters would be swifties
