Suave, cool, confident, dashing and impeccably, roguishly handsome, and A.J. Lockwood is a tick in all those boxes. For one to embody that utter, flawed but svelte perfection, he must be some thing big. So, one of the only people (of whom I'm aware of) who could carry off waking up to boy who does yoga in the nude, an oblivious crush who's chums with a jealous undead, and who can still manage to flash that pearly 1000 gigawatt smile to millions, all the while being the marvellously poised Anthony Lockwood is....

       * DRUMROLL *

SHAWN MENDES.

Now before you all disgustedly pass over this book and write down a million complaints the Wattpad headboard on how fangirls must be debarred from all public circles, let me make it clear that Shawn Mendes is not Anthony Lockwood simply because I like his songs.

 Oh no, I'm not that shallow.

The reason Shawn Mendes could be Anthony Lockwood is simply because he is characteristically and physically similar to our boy.

He's 6'1, is known to make the ladies swoon ( If you still don't believe that I'm not wiping away my drool as I'm typing this, you could verify with @Raurauslly710 on how I consider a mere mention of looking at each other puke-worthy.)

Plus, his ability to be charismatic and charming is known all over the World Wide Web, echoing LOCKLYE. Pardon me. Echoing Lockwood. Yep, Lockwood. Not the ship that we know is supposed to defeat the entirety of the Spanish Armada. ( If you're miffed about my brushing of the greatest insult to the emotion of romance, blame J.Stroud. But for those who are interested, check out my Locklyle story in my book PURELY FANFICY.

And if you're still not convinced check out these pics and weep at the sight of an Anthony Lockwood who is as handy with a guitar as he is with a rapier!

HAIL LOCKLYLE!

I mean, HAIL LOCKWOOD AND CO!

P.S : If you guys have any suggestions for the casting of Lucy, George, Quill, Flo, Holly, the Skull, Barnes, Penelope, Marissa, Kat Godwin, Harold Mailer, Bobby Vernon please do suggest so in your comments!

P.P.S :  Yet again I'd like to clarify, I'm not a Mendes fangirl! Or guy! Or fanguy! Or whatever the general ungender biased term for a non-fanperson is.
