A Cot3 travelling circus au, with a touch of magic ✨ (Written for the Lockwood & Co. Big Bang 2023/2024!)
The living and the dead have always spoken equally to Lucy, and she doesn’t know where to focus any more. When disaster strikes at Jacob’s Travelling Circus, Lucy flees to London. There, she stumbles upon the world famous Fairfax Carnival, and falls back on an old con that her mother made her do as a child; swindling punters as a fake psychic. Lucy is content to blend into the background and be just another carnie, but when Annabel Ward, the trapeze star, disappears overnight, Lucy is forced into the spotlight in to a role she told herself she’d never do again. Add to that Lockwood's unhappiness about her getting a star act over him, and stopping the inspector investigating Annabel’s disappearance ratting her whereabouts to Jacobs; Lucy’s too distracted to even notice that the voices in her head are leading her right to the heart of the problem. She can’t ignore the signs forever, and when the mysterious figure lurking inside her crystal ball starts giving warnings about George and the Carnival’s secretary, Joplin, she and Lockwood must work together to figure out the dark secret behind the carnival’s popular attraction; the Hall Of Mirrors.
Welp, it's here, my fic posting day!! Chapter one is up, and the remainder of the fic will follow very soon (when work and health issues stop kicking my ass this week)
I want to give an absolutely massive shoutout to my teammates, @radishwizard and @ayeaye-capn. You two have both figuratively and literally been my rocks thoughout all of this. Without you two, this fic would not be possible. Thank you 💕🎪✨ The lovely tent illustration is what you'll see at the top of every chapter on ao3 with the chapter number, and was made by Radish, who also made a spectacular poster for the Fairfax Carnival!
And as always, all the love towards the organisers of @lockwoodandcobigbang2023, whout whom this event wouldn't have been possible. As I've mentioned in my art posts, you guys dragged me kicking and screaming out of an art *and* writing block, and I'll forever be grateful for that 💕
To anyone reading this; feel free to come yell in my dm's with me about this fic if you so wish. I've put so much love into creating this au and world, and I'm so excited to share it with y'all. I hope you all like this weird, niche, and oddly specific au as much as I do!!
bisan’s recent message really tears my heart apart
58 days and yet no real change to stop this. what was a 4 pause supposed to do?
i’ve been watching bisan’s posts for over a month and i really don’t want to see her or anyone else there go. like she said, please don’t lose hope everyone. keep protesting. keep boycotting. if you can then contact your representatives. use your platforms if you have one. don’t let the ones in power discourage you. that’s exactly what they want.
there’s so much more i want to say but can’t put into words at all.
Some lovely human found email addresses:

Please remember to BE POLITE. Emphasize the success of the show despite the lack of promotion by N. Mention the existence of cast, crew, and screenplays for the next few seasons. Throw in there some stats about the size and active nature of the fan base. Maybe compliment a show the service already has.
Good luck!
Hello
The stage of taking the risk to relate the picture has ended and the stage of trying to survive has begun. I have transferred enough, and I bear witness to God that it was for his own sake and for the service of my country.
We are now living under the beginning of an internal siege. We cannot go out, whether toward the north or the south. Israeli tanks are surrounding the central region of the north and south.
Our situation is tragic beyond what you can imagine. Remember. We are not content for sharing. We are people who are being killed and a cause that we're trying to keep from being erased from existence
Oh, we are alone!
Or if I'm really concentrating in class or having and interacting webinar
I haven't seen one mention of the Shajaiya massacre today. 02.12.23
1000 people killed in the blink of an eye. They are not numbers, they are humans. Picture a thousand people and acknowledge how many that is. How many unnecessary kills. We have to find a way to stop this, it isn't enough!

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

tiktok will let IOF members post trendy videos about preparing to attack and/or justify the genocide of Palestinian people; the same tiktok that will also let zionists mass report ANY account calling out IOF war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity... and they have the audacity to say there's 'bias,' when one side (the IOF) is aggressively dehumanizing, terrorizing and murdering Palestinian people, and the 'other side,' wants it to stop... dares to say end the occupation and free Palestine...
when i say apart from the wonderful creators doing educational content on tiktok and those who are doing their best to share and spread awareness about many global issues, and overall all the non-problematic content that many folks like (i love you with my whole heart) -but tiktok, on an administrative level, can be so fucking irritating, and is one of the reasons i sincerely can't stand this app, and why i have slowly moved away from making content there.
