35 Portland Row - Tumblr Posts

Nice going, dumbass.

I just had an idea: what if the reason Lockwood goes by his last name is because someone he used to admire did the same thing. And by someone, I mean Kipps.

The scenes are from Lockwood and Co. on Netflix.

The song is So He Won’t Break by The Black Keys.

I don’t normally make edits. Not trying to copyright anything. I do not own the clips or the song. Had a hard time finding clips in the first place. Not sure how people normally go about doing that.

Hi, welcome to Lockwood and Co.

We have:

Anthony “sad-boi” Lockwood

Lucy “come-over-here-and-see-how-feisty-I-am” Carlyle

Quill “I-don’t-know-how-to-deal-with-not-being-useful-anymore” Kipps

George “my-conspiracy-theories-are-usually-right” Cubbins/Karim

Holly “I’m-bad-at-confrontation” Munro

Ned “brawn-over-brain” Shaw

Bobby “I’m-think-I’m-smarter-than-George” Vernon

Kat “am-I-the-only-one-with-the-brain-cell” Godwin

Montagu “can-these-children-chill-for-once” Barnes

And

“I-can-be-evil-at-times-but-sadly-I-care-about-people-now” Skull

Lucy: I can’t believe Kipps is dead.

Kipps: I’m not dead!

Lucy: Sometimes I can still hear his voice.

“What’s on your mind?”

What the dynamics might have been like between Lockwood and George before Lucy joined the company.

You’re in her past and the polaroid pictures she keeps on the wall. I’m in her bedroom bandaging her wound and telling her that it’s hard to cope with the fact that the real reason I might have been given a spotlight is to shine it on her.

Hey (with the intention of NOT stealing your man! He’s not even my type. There is more than just George and Lockwood you know.)

Not the help you wanted, but the help you needed. Also the only help available.

The help being Kipps and his team.

Lucy: *is constantly ready to throw hands*

Lockwood (internally): You’ve captivated me. I’m captivated.

I thought you died. Of course I tried to burn the place to the ground. You left. You left us. And when I saw you again I thought you were a ghost. You can see how troubling that was, can’t you?

So, yes, I guess I went a little insane. But thankfully you came back. Please don’t do that again.

— George, Holly, and maybe even Kipps (when they saw Lockwood and Lucy go to the other side)

What I think they could do in the tv series if they ever decide to un-cancel it (the scene is George going back to Portland Row after getting the book they were looking for in The Empty Grave. I replaced the part where the driver finds him.)—>

He’s walking home. It’s dark and ominous. Does he know he’s being followed? Maybe. Probably. It focuses on George then pans to the men following him. The one in the lead having a gleaming golden blade. They begin to approach with more of a purpose and catch up with him. George is surrounded. He doesn’t have a chance to put up much of a fight.

The fight itself you don’t see much of. Just a solid punch to the face. And a few bone-crunching kicks to his already crumpled body.

The noise is slightly muffled and the vision is going black. You hear hurried receding footsteps and a vague hope for a siren you’re not 100% sure is there.

Cut scene. The next time you see George he looks pale. Ghostly. Corpse-like. He looks dead. The hurried footsteps are back. This time coming towards him rather than running away. The sound is still muffled, but someone calls out. They sound worried. Fearful.

“George! GEORGE!” It’s Holly. The vision and sound become clear again as Holly kneels beside her hopefully not-dead friend. She’s a mess. “George. Oh, God. George. Please be okay. Please be okay. George. Please. Answer me!” Her sobs make her harder to understand. “HELP! SOMEBODY! PLEASE! HELP!”

Her cries for help turn into just plain crying. Sobbing. Her hands shake as she fumbles to check his pulse. She’s unsure if she can’t find it because she’s nervous or because he’s dead. She’s barely aware of being pushed aside when the EMT arrives. They move him onto a stretcher and load him into the back of an ambulance. She tries to follow. Someone stops her. She fights them, but she doesn’t have the strength. “Please! Let me go. Let me go with him! He’s my friend! He’s my friend!” How many times can she repeat herself? Why don’t they get it? But they’re already driving away.

Holly would have collapsed back onto the street, but someone’s holding her up.

“Holly.” The voice was familiar. “Holly. Let me take you home. You need to tell the others. They need to know. Please.”

The cold rain started to bring her back to her senses. That and the voice. Who she now knew was Kipps. How long had it been raining? When did Kipps get here?

It must have been raining when she left Portland Row. She vaguely remembers that now.

Holly looks up at Kipps. She recognizes him. Of course she does. But her mind is struggling to be present. It’s still somewhere with George on the ambulance ride.

He says her name again. This helps. She nods and allows herself to be lead back to 35 Portland Row.

locklyle vs their friends

Lucy,

I love you

(I don’t know how to tell you that)

I’ll make and fix you toast

(I can’t make much)

I’ll ask you to stay

(I need you)

I’ll die for you

(My love language is self-sacrifice. Yeah, I know. I’ll work on it.)

Don’t give up on me

(I love you)

You stayed

(Thank you)

~ Lockwood

I was wondering if you could tell us how Lockwood and George met? :D

Hello and thank you for your lovely support for Lockwood. It means a lot to me. That’s a great question. I expect that Lockwood met George while they were both independently doing research for separate cases, maybe at the Archives or somewhere. Lockwood would have been getting frustrated at the work, not knowing where to look, wishing he could have been out doing something more interesting. George would have ambled over, shown him where the information was, casually solved whatever problem LW had, and basically been super competent, much to LW’s amazement. In return, LW probably helped George with something dangerous - some nasty job he’d been given by his Fittes superior, on account of being impertinent. So they both helped each other. They kept in touch. It wasn’t long before George was booted out of Fittes, and Lockwood snapped him up to be his partner at Portland Row.

Love this!🩷

I wonder how did George and lockwood met

I can't remember if there's anything in the books that says that but I like to imagine George saw an ad in the paper and turned up at Portland Row with his stolen equipment and Lockwood took one look at him and went 'perfect'

Exactly

I can’t believe Lucy got the skull in the divorce.

The closest I ever got to seeing you since you left was the cold bitter hallway that led to your apartment door. I shouldn’t have stopped so soon. But I did. I should have knocked. But I didn’t.

— Holly, talking about her regrets about Lucy leaving.

Reckless job, being an agent. How many times can Barnes handle picking up the phone, hoping it’s not another agent lost on the job?

All the scenes are from Lockwood and Co. on Netflix and the song is Lovely by Billie Eilish and Khalid.

Holly: Did you have to keep the skull?

Lucy: We kept Kipps.
