Who Would Want A Silly Locklyle Fic Placed A Few Months After The End Of The Empty Grave Where They Are

I am so enthusiastically obsessed with the idea of Julie and the phantoms s2, but I need them to understand that the best (only) way to do that is to pretend that the last 4 years didn't happen. no time jump, no recastings (if they can help it), no explanation on why Carlos was 9, but now he's 14, none. just simply pretend s2 came out right away. give me one. "Wow, you grew fast since dinner." "yea I ate my veggies," and then simply move on. it would be perfectly comedic and simply nothing would be better

“Robin-” Steve tried as she knelt down to pick up her phone, but he was caught. What the fuck could he say to explain away this?! Instantly, she shone the light back up at him. He could barely make out her face – her eyes were wide, analytical, and a little… scared? Maybe he was projecting. “Rob-” He tried again.

“You’re Spiderman?!” Steve could basically Robin connecting the dots in her head, her brain working overtime. “Holy shit, Steve! You’re-” Her focus shifted, down to where Steve was cupping his side – exactly where he didn’t want her to look. “You’re bleeding-”

This was not going according to plan.

The part I appreciate the most in the Lockwood and Co show is how it handles depression and suicidal thoughts in teenagers. As a theme, it’s not often (ever) done well. Lockwood and Co is the only story I can think of that depicts it in a nuanced, realistic, non-romanticized way

but first, before I get into it: [if you’re in crisis or need someone to talk to and don’t want to/can’t use your national hotline, highly recommend Samaritans, genuinely saved my life] okay, let’s go

Lockwood is the most obvious, with his general disregard for his own life and admitted suicidal ideation. Lucy struggles with her self-worth and the intensity of the emotions she’s subjected to. George worries that he doesn’t belong, that there’s something useless or wrong about him. The show depicts these thoughts and feelings in a way that isn’t overblown or dramatized, it’s all but casual. Which is how it happens. Depression or suicidal thoughts don’t crash into you all at once, they creep into your life without you noticing

But more importantly (and again, something I’ve never seen anywhere else), the show also offers counterpoints to those thoughts and feelings. It shows that there is a way out, even though you may feel trapped and hopeless. This is crucial for the show’s target demographic. Bad media depictions of depression or suicide get internalized, contribute to the stigma, and make it harder for people to ask for help. This show doesn’t do that. This show tells its audience that, yes, things are scary and painful and it fucking sucks, but it’s not hopeless. And it says it so well

In the second episode, when Lucy wants to quit, she admits something that I’m almost certain she’s never told anyone

“sometimes I just think I’d be better off dead”

And when I watched this the first time, I expected Lockwood to react the way I’ve seen people react in my own life; with silence or panic or downright dismissal. But he didn’t. He stays calm and he says something that is so so important to hear when you’re struggling under the weight of feelings like this

“I understand that”

The PBS proshot of the West End production of Next to Normal has had me spiraling for the last few days.

Why tf this didn't win any Olivier awards or transfer to Broadway for a limited run is BEYOND ME. For a creative team that had taken SUCH CARE with the sensitive themes, it should've gotten way more recognition.

Thank god it's been recorded and preserved for people to watch but my god. All the little details of this production are so brilliant which makes it all the more devastating to watch these characters struggle.

No Broadway transfer? No cast recording? At least we have a proshot. These performers worked so hard and they deserve to have their work captured.
