ROUND 2 MATCH 5: LOCKLYLE VS. LAYCLAIRE
Locklyle Propaganda:
"Lockwood is a homeowner at age 15 and he wanders around it drinking tea and charming people into giving him yhings. Lucy carlyle is a hotheaded aggressive and EXTREMELY powerful agent in his ghost hunting company. They both get shit done but in OPPOSITE ways. They have an interes5ing way of rejecting traditional gendered tropes- the sensitive dude and the bullheaded girl- that is both simple and INTENSELY complicated within their narrative, which i think qualifies them for the title."
"she is the protagonist of the series, a once in a generation prodigy, the most powerful listener since Marissa Fittes, the list goes on. He likes to drink pulpy orange juice and strain it throught his teeth to pretend to be a blue whale"
"Imagine a buff kind of irritated teenage girl with a sword. No, shes even cooler. That's better. Now imagine a rich preppy guy. No, thats too much like Patrick Bateman. Think Artemis Fowl. Ok youtr there. Hope yhis helps :)"
"they are PERFECT for each other. she recognises the subtleties in his smiles and he allows himself to be vulnerable in front of her"
Layclaire Propaganda:
"THEY ARE SO- Ok first off their relationship is the first time in the series where we see Hershel in a state of emotional vulnerability. Usually he's cool and smart but in the scenes where he's with Claire he's just a blushing bashful mess oh mygoodness he's so precious. Claire in comparison is more outgoing and confident and it makes for a really cute dynamic. Also she's a phycisist who helped make a time machine what's more girlbossy than that. Anyway she deserved better. Layclaire deserved better. We need more Layclaire fluff in the world."
Here's some sketches with the best trio of all time, i love drawing them !!
They're look so silly in chibi style lmao
One of my favourite scenes hands down
Something about... THIS scene
And... ngngnfnds it's something about Lucy not being herself // Lockwood being TOO much of himself...
The words are coming from Lucy's mouth, but they aren't hers; those are Lucy's hands, but she isn't the one using them... an otherworldly force chose Lockwood to be her scene partner here, and once again it's about external voices seeing Lucy's feelings for him before she knows it herself...
And then there's something about how it's in direct contrast to Lockwood, who is PARTICULARLY aware of himself in that moment... this is one of the few times we get a full scene of Lockwood stripped down to a tshirt+hoodie instead of his usual suit+tie number (my brain is buzzing over this, since I presume the suit is sort of a costume for him, with the purpose of masking his inner self/vulnerability)... AND ALSO because this is arguably the first physical romantic scene they share, and while he is clearly concerned and confused about her behavior, the fact that he is having to reckon with Feeling Something Else Too is written all over his face...
I know this take isn't super book-accurate, but it feels almost allegorical to this idea that Lockwood is the one who is being caught off guard and having to realize his feelings early on... versus Lucy, who is there, and she's participating in the dance, but she's also being stopped from experiencing her feelings to the fullest by something within her...
Anyway, I'm sorry this is an absolute rambling MESS because my brain doesn't quite have its thoughts together, but I needed to post this right now immediately, hope you all understand 👋
Love them 💙
