I'm A Lucy Carlyle Defender To My Grave But I Do Feel So Much For Poor Holly And Her Having To Deal With

I'm a Lucy Carlyle defender to my grave but I do feel so much for poor Holly and her having to deal with feeling unwelcome and intimidated by Lucy, who is clearly (to everyone but Lucy herself) looked up to and adored within Portland Row. Holly had no way of knowing that Lucy's coldness towards her ran so much deeper than petty jealousy over Lockwood; that it was due to Lucy Carlyle (voted Miss Abandonment Issues 2023) feeling completely undermined, unconsidered, left behind, and replaced.

I want to read and write but I scroll YouTube, Pinterest, and Tumblr instead

Don’t think I’ve talked about it before but I do love that we get to see George “zero social skills” Karim chastise Lockwood for how he handled the whole praising-Lucy-on-the-news situation and it’s perfectly in character, because Lockwood’s so used to being able to charm his way out of situations that he’s legitimately confused, and George may not pick up on social cues, but he knows how to follow directions, and “she specifically asked you not to.” Idk it’s just such a reversal of their usual dynamic where George is just casually and unknowingly offending people that it tickles me.

"A falls first but B falls harder" nah man give me a depressed, charismatic British boy who looks at a really fucking powerful, angry, and incredibly Talented girl and falls both first AND harder. Give me one of the only M/F ships that I am totally obsessed with. GIVE ME LOCKLYLE!!

Hey girl are you the bone glass because I can’t look away from you

AU where everything is the same but the Locklyle obliviousness is all an act. Like the first night Lucy arrives she and Lockwood are already making out but he is her senior and DEPRAC makes any agents dating someone above or below their position e.i. a senior field agent dating a junior field agent, fill out a five page form and go to a four hour talk on relationships and Lockwood and Lucy very much don't want to do that so they pretend they don’t love each other and are actually making out every chance they get.
