guys can we just sit back and really take in the fact that lockwood & co was so good as a show, that everywhere we look, there are new people in the fandom actively going out and purchasing the books to read them? including myself, who didn't know of the books until the show released because i live under a literary rock.
but like, the show was good enough and compelling enough that it drew us all in and we wanted more, and we have it. we have the books. we can read them. and we want to. can we bask in that? can we appreciate this? this amazing. this so cool. idk i just find this so neat, you know? there's plenty of media that releases, based off books, and people don't go out and read the source material. but... it feels different with this one. and i love that.
Some more headcanons when the Pevensies come back to England:
-All of them have a strange lisp from living in Narnia for so long. When they are together, they will often speak Narnian, and when asked about the origins of the strange language no one else understands, all they give you is a mysyerious smile.
-It is absolutely impossible to get a rise out of Susan. When taunted, ridiculed or tested by other girls who envy her confidence, all she will do is smile and offer some words of advice. She has dealt with threats far more serious and deadly than high school British kids, and she finds their little power plays nothing but funny Soon, it becomes an unwritten rule not to mess with her. She'll smile back and kill you with kindness.
-Edmund and Peter spend the first few weeks learning how to walk without a sword at their side. All their adult lives, they've worn one, and they still compensate for the weight slightly. Especially Peter, commander of the armies, feels extremely naked without his blade.
-Lucy has the hardest time getting used to England again. The girls her age are mean and stupid, and she finds it hard not to call them out on it. Her intelligence is often mistaken for arrogance. She throws herself into dancing, the one thing Narnia has given her that is of use in the normal world.
-Edmund is completely changed, overnight it seems. Where he was first a nagging, annoying brat, he now seems a beacon of calmness and wit, able to solve any problem. The bond with his brother Peter is so strong the two seem to be able to read each others minds. This is especially true during fencing class, where they are the two best students by a distance. They move so in sync some people wonder if they are twins
-The first time the Pevensies ride horses together again the rest of class gasps audibly. They all seem to grow taller in the sadle, and they communicate with their horses in a way that seems impossible.
-Peter never gets used to the disrespect other kids show him, and will respond to every insult with a blow. He doesn't get over what they have lost , and writes story after story about the most beautiful imaginary world he calls Narnia. His teachers, from English to theology to history, all agree that he should be a writer. But the fighting only gets worse. Soon, kids have to gang up on him to even be able to touch him. And when Edmund decides to help, it's basically a wrap. He is far smarter than he lets on, and his back is always so straight it seems like he is 3 inches taller than his classmates. Bullies learn to avoid him, and he is fiercly loyal to his friends, even if that gets him in trouble.
-There is a rumour that the Pevensies are royals or at least nobles . No one knows from where, but the war could have changed things. Either way, they are everyone's favorite gossip subject.
I second this
i think that collective human culture has produced enough media where the protagonists forgive their abusive parents and from now on every abusive parent sublplot should end with their kid killing them with hammers and everyone telling them 'wow it was so cool and awesome of you to kill that bitch with hammers'

My tribute to Andre Braugher, thank you for Captain Raymond Holt ❤️✨
Reblog if reading someone else’s fanfiction has helped you get through a hard day
I'm trying to prove something.
I absolutely adore the clothes that Lucy wears. Just because there’s isn’t a huge range (which would be weird if there’s was since she came to London with a single bag) and also they’re unique to her style. She has a thick jacket for when she goes to cases (since they do get very cold) but also comfy clothes for hanging about the house. I also love the dress she wore to the ball as it felt like something a teenager would pick out. It’s suitable for the ball but it isn’t some massive ball gown or mini dress. It looks like something she could afford and would want to wear. There’s also no stupid sexualisation that sometimes comes with these types of shows where her practical outfit for missions may be on the tight side. It’s just clothes for a teenager that’s so clearly her style. Also practically all of the outfits are blue which I love. A small detail like a characters favourite colour being in their clothes just really helps to flesh out the show.
I also love the use of clothes when it comes to Lockwood. It’s so clearly his armour so when we see him without it it’s almost jarring how much more vulnerable and younger he looks. ALSO DONT GET ME STARTED ON THAT LOCKWOOD WORE PINK SOCKS FOR MOST EPISODES BUT WHEN THEY WENT TO THE BALL HE WORE BLUE ONES TO MATCH LUCYS DRESS😭😭. I just love the small attention to details
lucy carlyle + comfy
new trifecta of movies:
Another day watching The Future Job, another day screaming and crying about how whenever Parker gets freaked out she goes home. Not to her big secret warehouse where she can be alone but straight to HQ or wherever the crew will be because that's where she's safe, that's home.
I love it on Leverage that Eliot is so gruff and grumpy all the time and you think he's so serious about his job but then occassionally he makes a joke or a quip after punching someone out and he grins to himself and gives a little chuckle and then you're like oh, ohhhhhh okay i get it now, he is enjoying himself. This is fun for him. And in that moment he becomes both a bit more normal and a bit more fucked up at the same time. My guy, Eliot Spencer.
Random stuff I love. Currently obsessed with Lockwood and co. Pls go stream it on Netflix we need season 2!!
