TEG epilogue Lucy who won't let go of literal human remains for a second and will place it near her on kitchen table despite everyone's appal because she misses the bastard so much but won't voice it you're so special to me

[id: an ink drawing of Lucy Carlyle (Lockwood & Co books) lying on her back with the Skull next to her head, free of the jar, it is burnt and has cracks and missing pieces. Lucy's turned face is half obscured by Skull's dome, her expression is intense and tired. she has bags underneath her eyes, her hands clutching on one another on top of her. background behind Lucy is washed in black./end id]

Love how you read The Empty Grave and it starts off in medias res exploring a crypt that’s all a sham burial and you’re like neat there’s no body in this grave so I guess that’s the title sorted ok that’s that then cool and then it gets to chapter six and you realise what the title actually is about and you go wait no stop

reading is so much fun you guys it doesn’t hurt even slightly

#there’s empty because there’s no body in it #and there’s empty because there’s no body in it YET #and I had a lot of feelings about that #lockwood & co #lockwood and co #teg #the empty grave #locknation #fun first date ideas: take your crush to your own cemetery plot

i don't want to be left out, so i come here too sometimes.

#lockwood and co #lockwood & co #anthony lockwood #lucy carlyle #locklyle #the empty grave #ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCENES #we just learn so much about lockwood from such a brief scene and it really sticks with me #it's actually very nice how open he is about his feelings and like. his depression and stuff. despite not trying to say it out loud.#although poor Lucy thought she was going on a date and then got hit with that heavy ass philosophical monologue from her crush #lockwood goes. 'no there's no point in life so i'll just keep on fighting till it ends' and lucy's just left standing there in SHOCK #gagged even #ah this took me SO long but i was really really enjoying rendering this piece #ahh i envisioned a really green palette #though the cemetary doesn't look *entirely* how i pictured it i'm happy w/ this result.

rare aesthetic: being stabbed in the stomach while trying to cross a gate to the afterlife in a pink feather cape because you want to protect your "rival" (a literal 16yo) from the company you used to work for whose boss exorcised her own granddaughter and keeps her old body in a closet in her office

It’s always been my headcanon that the skull came back at the end of the empty grave, but in my memory it’s a lot more ambiguous than it actually is in the book.

Like I think it is intended to be ambiguous, specifically for those who would like to believe of the ghost had passed on, but it’s pretty clear from its last conversation with Lucy that it is interested in becoming an associate member of Lockwood and Co and it’s just kind of being like what? Who me? I would never? In its usual way.

And I always interpreted the green flicker Lucy saw of the corner of her eye as like possible wishful thinking, but really, when you think about what happened, it is totally in character for the skull

Like EVEN though it’s daytime and the skull SHOULD NOT POSSIBLY be able to fully manifest without the silver glass jar, it heard Lockwood totally fumbling asking Lucy out and her being an oblivious DORK about it.

And it is SO DETERMINED to manifest to make fun of her and Lockwood, that it ACTUALLY manages to appear for a moment.

And like, if you say that’s not exactly how the skull would want to come back you’re lying.

Little Lockwood when he reads the famous book of the empty grave...

*Want to cry*

Lockwood wasn't stupid. He didn't take Lucy to see the graves of his family + his future grave on the night before he and the rest of the Co. would go to confront a vicious ghost with a massive kill count consisting entirely of lovesick young men by coincidence. Lockwood knew from the start how vulnerable he would be to La Belle Dame Sans Merci, but he had to go on. Because how could he ever admit the reason why?

At least Lucy was safe and back with the rest of them. At least he had convinced her to come back to her family, the ones who would protect her and she them. She had George, Holly, even Kipps now. Lockwood hadn't been brave enough to say everything when they were standing together in that iron circle, and now . . . what if he said it, and it drove her away again? How could he risk fracturing what had only just been restored? How could he do that to her? To all of them?

All she had to know was where to put him after the inevitable, something he hadn't even told George.

All he had to do was ignore everything he knew about the spirits of those who passed with terrible, terrible secrets.

And pray that he wouldn't come back to haunt her.
