something something going into the other side the first time makes him more overtly suicidal but going into it the second time allows him to live
Yeah, the first time on the other side cracked him open a bit more, but then the second time helped heal him up? Almost like breaking a bone that healed wrong so it can be set correctly? Healing takes time and sometimes it looks worse before it begins to mend?? Or something.
This is probably not what you’re getting at but also…there’s so much closure in that book. Learning the truth about his parents’ death giving him an enemy to focus his sights on, and then his journey on the other side giving him peace about his sister, reallllly gave him so much closure and ability to move forward. It’s so good as the final book in a series about death & life & resurrection & healing & love & light, you know?

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

I just finished the creeping shadow for the first time and holy shit.
major spoiler warnings under the cut
I always accidentally fall into the trap of imagining Lockwood as this cool, tall, serious teen in a swishy coat, and George as the quirky, silly, “trousers are for wimps” when it’s kind of the opposite?
Lockwood who pretends he’s a blue whale when he drinks orange juice with bits, who has a weakness for big hats and wears silly disguises without batting an eye. Lockwood who reads gossip magazines and is awful at accents, and insists on wearing said long swishy coat even though he’s tripped over it on multiple cases.
Compared to George who is actually quite serious apart from when he’s drawing rude cartoons on the thinking cloth, who cares more about his research and a good meal than his appearance. George who considers solving The Problem his own personal mission, who’s very matter-of-fact.
Obviously Lockwood is very serious too, and George can be silly and sarcastic, but I tend to hc them wrong at first until I check myself and remember Lockwood is (affectionately) the more ridiculous out of the two.
