Holly: here are two pictures. One of them is your bedroom, and the other is a garbage dumpster. Can you tell which is which?
George:
George: this one is the dumpster.
Holly: they're both your bedroom.
After the Bone Glass, there’s a period of time where they take down all the mirrors in the house and shove them in the room on the landing. Mirrors like the ones on the bathroom cabinet doors that can’t be removed instead get photographs stuck all over them. The three of them together. Lucy holding Skull aloft with great effort on her face (he’s heavy!). Lockwood caught unawares, bleary-eyed and making tea without realising he has a MASSIVE cowlick. George peacefully asleep on the sofa, comic in hand. Lucy and George doing rapier training together.
As they come home from an Archives trip one day, George huffs that he’s fed up of the hall mirror being missing because he uses it to recon who is in the front room when he gets home so he knows to avoid the annoying visitors. Without even taking his shoes off, he marches up to fetch it and hangs it back on the wall. Actually, it’s a team effort and a bit of swearing trying to line up the little hook with the nail on the wall. When it’s finally done, Lucy and Lockwood both smile to themselves and follow him into the kitchen to make tea. Business as usual.
When the rest of the mirrors eventually make their way back onto the walls, they all get the photo treatment too.

What if for Halloween (which people don't really celebrate anymore but these kids are rebels, they live on the edge) the Lockwood & Co team all dress up as each other
Except for Kipps who was not warned this was happening and is presented with a sheet ghost costume when he arrives for their case
may I also offer
everyone dresses up as Kipps
may I add
this happens the day after he was up all night on a case and it genuinely takes him until dinnertime to notice

So in the books Flo tells Lucy things about Lockwood's past and Lockwood tells Lucy things about Flo's past. So my headcanon is that they gave each other permission to divulge the kinds of history they would want their friends to know but can't bear to talk about. It works because they trust each other not to say anything to someone untrustworthy, and having the information come from someone else means the recipient is unlikely to bring it up to their face
Lucy got sunburnt in March once. Skull wouldn't stop laughing at her for a week.
Lockwood either burns to a crisp OR he's one of those people who is very pale but manages to tan quite impressively. That version gets a wicked sock tan from wearing socks and shorts.
George Cubbins never burns because he's meticulous with applying sun cream and he has one of those hats with the fabric flaps to protect your neck, the sort that you see primary school kids wearing. If he gets burnt it ends up being in one of those tiny areas that you sometimes forget are exposed to the sun until it's too late.
George Karim rarely burns because he's brown, but he also (mostly) remembers to wear his sun cream (because that's very important).

If there ever was another season of Lockwood & Co I'd love to have a scene where one day when Kipps is over at Portland Row Lockwood notices the fencing newspaper cut out on the wall is missing so he asks about it and the camera pans to Kipps just sipping his coffee with a slight smirk

but I also really love this. the Lucy-George friendship is EVERYTHING to me

rapiers are incredibly versatile in the hands of professionals
It’s a well-known fact at Fittes that if your food gets stuck in the vending machine, you call Bobby Vernon to get it out. He’s the only one with thin enough arms to reach inside and dislodge things. Only problem is, he charges for his services.
- If it’s crisps or sweets he gets to eat 20%
- If it’s a drink he gets the first sip but you’ve never seen someone so small take such a big gulp, and he DEFINITELY backwashes

Knowing how dangerous the world is, Lockwood’s parents wrote three letters and gave them to their solicitor to be given to Lockwood, his spouse and Lockwood’s best man on the day Lockwood get married (they also did the same for Jessica). When Lucy is handed her letter, she goes to find the boys so the they can all open their letters together, even if it means Lockwood seeing her in her dress early.
FFFFFFFF IM SCREAMING AND PUCNHING THE AIR BC WHAT HAPPENS TO JESSICA’S LETYERS SKSHGSMAA

The very professional grounding technique George and Lockwood develop to help Lucy when she is disassociating after a case
bobbys-not-that-small reblogged
When Lockwood and Co get de-aged, Barnes gives them to Kipps and his crew to care for and Kipps pretty quickly realises you can get little Lockwood to do pretty much anything if you offer him something you are pretending to be valuable. Like he needs Lockwood to brush his teeth so he starts talking about how cool this pen he found in his pocket is and then tells Lockwood to go and brush his teeth and Lockwood is like 'I will brush my teeth if you give me the super cool pen' and Kipps agrees. Only Kipps realises he never sees the stuff he gives Lockwood again so he starts following Lockwood around because he is running out of pocket junk to give the little boy only to find out that every super cool thing Lockwood earns is given straight to little Lucy.
Also, this plays out:
Bobby: *rushing into the room, holding a bag of marbles and dragging little Lockwood* Kipps, we have a problem. We gave Lockwood 35 marbles and now he only has 23.
Kipps: There’s a joke in there somewhere.
Bobby: This is serious! What if he ate them?
Kipps: Anthony, did you eat the marbles?
Lockwood: *shrugs*
Kipps: We should call Barnes. Wait. All the blue ones are missing. Tony, did you give Lucy all the blue marbles?
Lockwood: *nods* They’re her favourites.

Lucy likes to put Skull up on a tall shelf and then put a load of taped together paper hanging down from below with various bodies drawn out for him.

in honour of St Patrick's day, have some Irish Quill Kipps headcanons:
- Mother's maiden name is Coughlan
- Family originally hails from Limerick (Irish equivalent of Swindon)
- Catholic (obviously)
- Eldest brother of a large, not very affluent family. Became an agent to help support them but they felt he got "notions" about working with Fittes (they were right) and his relationship with them is strained
- Burns in 0.3 seconds if exposed to direct sunlight
- Calls LW "Anto" rather than "Tony"
- Prone to letting Irishisms like "haunted with the weather" slip occasionally
- Favourite insult is "gowl", which people usually take to be a mispronunciation of "ghoul"
- Big Padre Pio devotion
- Surprisingly hard to get drunk in spite of being like 5"3
- However when drunk, he will be singing and there will be at least 12 verses
- Thinks funerals are a good party
the reason they don’t have phones in the L&Co universe is because lockwood would be so technologically inept that he’d keep butt-dialing the group chat
