We Have An Announcement!

And here it is: after 10 episodes dedicated to Lockwood & Co, we've covered all the topics we want to cover, and we simply don't have any other thoughts related to this series.

From here on out, Haunting the Narrative will focus on Jonathan Stroud's newest trilogy, Scarlett & Browne. We hope you're as excited about this change as we are! Our first of estimated 800 episodes on Scarlett & Browne will release tomorrow morning, April 2nd.

... *clears throat*

Happy April Fool's Day! We are not abandoning our beloved ghost hunting teens. At this rate, we'll never run out of topics to discuss related to Lockwood and Co. (We just added a new idea to our episode list this afternoon.)

But! In honor of the American release of Stroud's newest book, we will have a special Scarlett & Browne focused episode for you tomorrow!

Can we talk about how anxious she was about even opening the laptop? In any other situation, she wouldn't have hesitated to read someone's diary or read anyone's chats, but this was Eddie and they were past the liking stage, she was already in love with him so thinking about what was on that laptop made her so nervous that she was about to cry even before reading the messages.

can we all just collectively agree to go crazy over Lockwood & Co. again. i can't tell you how much i miss when we were all crazy over Lockwood & Co.

Welcome, you are among friends <3

soulmate au where soulmates can write on their skin and it shows up on the other person. except patricia doesn't have the gene, only eddie does, so he can see what she writes, but not vice-versa. and patricia also has this habit of writing down grocery lists and reminders and random shit on her hand. anyway eddie realizes immediately that shes his soulmate (part of their initial meeting somehow involves him spilling ink on her) but he doesnt want to scare her away so he says nothing. he uses those little notes to either fuck with her (eg with the chocolate worms trick) or make her fall in love with him (buys her chocolate when she writes down 'get dairy milk!!!' all over her forearm). side-plot: patricia's trying to figure out why this boy is constantly in sweaters in the middle of spring. side side-plot: this is exactly why fabian's in sweaters all of s3; his soulmate's going through a tattoo phase.

im laughing at the idea that— if nina actually is fabian’s soulmate in this au—#that nina is coping with everything by getting tatted up (@incorrectsibunaquotes)

this post is one of my favorite concepts ive come up with…and these tags are my absolute favorite thing to come out of it, btw

shipping characters who are just friends in canon is more than okay but what’s annoying is when people take screenshots of them touching and say “friends don’t do that!”. i hate to break it to you but friends do hug and hold hands and cuddle. saying ‘friends don’t do that’ is reenforcing the idea that physical touch is reserved for lovers

Kidnapping Rankings!

WHO WINS THE KIDNAPPING CROWN, LET'S GOOOOOOO

Seriously though this HAD to happen because I think the less interested in the show fans only remember Patricia and Jerome's MAIN Kidnappings. Let alone all the other times. (I'm not counting adults sorry Victor, Trudy, Sweetie, and Jason......GOD DAMN WHO IS KIDNAPPING ALL THESE BITCHES. Oh, and the real Harriet Denby) 11. Willow: I think she was like, half kidnapped? I don't know, are you kidnapped if you have no clue it's happening. She was essentially let go after annoying Frobisher to death.

10. KT: Also like half-kidnapped. Her's was pretty similar to the first time Rufus kidnapped Amber and Nina, Denby just locked her in a room and left her there but I'm going to say that also counts because these kids have trauma, they might as well get points for it.

9. Mara: Also half kidnapped? Maybe? Does the Vera scene count as a kidnapping if it only lasted like ten minutes? She was locked in a room with a creepy woman, and not only threatened but lowkey fucking assaulted, so if Willow's on here, I'm counting Mara too. She was ASSAULTED man. Remember that. Poor Mara.

8. Nina: Kidnapped twice. Only briefly kidnapped with Amber during Patricia's kidnapping, and then kidnapped with the others at the prom. Kinda interesting how even as a known Chosen One nothing happened to her in season two, but count blessings where you get them I guess.

7. Amber: Kidnapped two and a half times. Only briefly kidnapped with Nina during Patricia's kidnapping. Then kidnapped with the others at prom. The half is because in season three she did lowkey get kidnapped again and held in the gatehouse against her will until she gave Victor the fake bracelet.

6. Fabian: Kidnapped twice, but I'm counting him higher than Amber because his second kidnapping was technically a longer duration (Because his soul was taken from his body lol trauma). And of course the first time was at prom with the others.

5. Alfie: Kidnapped three times. First at the prom with the others, then with the Decendents, and then the luring and kidnapping that turned him into a Sinner.

4. Eddie: He was like half kidnapped once, and then fully kidnapped twice, so we'll count it as two and a half lol. The half-kidnap was the obvious bang on the head from Rufus who then abandoned him at the barn. The first "official" kidnapping was the time Denby locked him in the crypt that he then had to escape from, and the second was the actual kidnapping where he was consistently berated by everyone in the room lmao, poor Eddie. Counting him higher than Alfie solely because that berating scene was emotional trauma and also maybe he was kind of assaulted, I don't know. Like, it was nowhere near the Mara levels, but the way Victor grabbed him was very...icky. So. Sorry Alfie, he wins out.

3. Patricia: Kidnapped FOUR TIMES. JESUS CHRIST THIS POOR GIRL. First by Rufus, then at the Prom. Then as a Descendent. Then to be turned into a sinner. Literally this poor girl the emotional turmoil she's gone through is sick. She wins technical first place but as you've seen by the lower rankings I'm going off trauma as well. She did have slightly better "kidnapping quarters" the first time with Rufus (Jesus Christ I can't believe I have to say that), was shown getting food, had a teacher trying to save her (And her friends but like.....the second and first placers were kicked to the fucking mud by the teachers).

2. Jerome: Kidnapped three times. Was also kidnapped at the prom, but the kidnapping by Rufus and the Decendents kidnapping is what pushed him to second place for me. (Well also at the prom he was berated a lot more by Rufus, which did add to things as well). The Decendents Kidnapping, the reason I consider it a higher point for Jerome than the others (Patricia, Alfie) is because HE ALMOST GOT AWAY, AND VICTOR USED THE STRENGTH OF A THOUSAND MEN TO STOP THE ELEVATOR AND BRING HIM BACK......I would have shit my PANTS if I was him. The other Rufus kidnapping is kind of self explanatory, the conditions were a lot worse, and he watched an insane man whack a classmate in the head with a crowbar, he was dragged around similar to Patricia but like...ACTUALLY dragged around places and shoved around, and not just kept in the murder van like she was. The buildup to that kidnapping was also a lot worse, with like...one day of the fake niceness Patricia got before Rufus jumped right to death threats and-again-pushing Jerome around whenever possible. (Not saying the faking being Patricia's friend as an old ass man wasn't just as creepy, but in season two Rufus literally threatened a little girl during said kidnapping.)

do the good guys always win? (angry, mars argo)

On this day twenty years ago, Rose Tyler tried to find out more about the mysterious man known as the Doctor by googling "doctor". Iconic shit.
