Got stuck waiting on my vehicle in the shop and sketched Edwin looking smart in his blue cap 🧢

People act like Edwin is the Mature and Serious One(tm) as opposed to Charles the loose cannon, but let's not forget that Edwin canonically:

Gets tethered to Port Townsend because he is super horny for the Cat King and lets his guard down for 0.5 seconds

Lies to the group about his growing involvement with the Cat King over the course of the season, including trying to hide their meeting in Lighthouse Leapers

Makes the final call to take a bag of taffy and a cursed magic 8 ball that tells you when they're going to die as payment for a case (he is already dead)

Spends a ridiculous amount of energy learning about astrology because a cute boy likes it

Has his first kiss with a crow that turned into a boy because an evil witch was trying to enact an elaborate revenge plot

Confessed his love for Charles on a staircase in literal Hell instead of running from the monster made out of doll heads that is hellbent on eating him for the millionth time

Bro is a hot mess and I'm tired of pretending that he is some formal mature guy when he's actually really cool and relatable

my new favorite bit artists and writers do is that when In Danger tm charles tries to get edwin to go in the backpack and edwin fucking hates it. like a trying to get a cat in a carrier

I bet Charles has wanted to ruffle Edwins hair for a long time.

I imagine this takes place roughly a month after port townsend when Edwin tries to step out of his comfort zone more, especially after Meeting Crystal and to honor Niko! I think Charles isn't aware of his feelings for Edwin yet.

I'm trying some more comic things to practise for my own project. I originally wanted to post this for payneland week but with only these three panels it didn't quite fit the promt. I loosely traced the background from tonywohlgemuthproductiondesign's photographs. It's inspired by a lovely reblog I got on my pride post saying edwins looks unruffled!

something probably obvious that’s been eating at my brain a lot is that charles asked to go with edwin.

he’d known this boy for a couple of hours at most and had heaven itself presented to him and chose to stay with edwin. we know this.

BUT it’s important to note that charles didn’t reject heaven over an afterlife as a detective. he didn’t snub the afterlife over a sense of purpose or duty, over the promise of adventure and fulfillment. he could not possibly have known that this choice would send him down a mystery-solving path. all he knew was that he wanted to stay with edwin.

charles did not choose an afterlife as a dead boy detective in that moment. charles chose an afterlife as edwin’s best friend. in a heartbeat.

It needs to be said: any ploy involving someone impersonating Charles is doomed from the start, because sooner than later Edwin’s going to wordlessly stick out his hand expecting Charles to hand him the thing — and the doppelgänger will be like 'the fuck he wants?'

also, happy pride to charles rowland who thinks it normal and purely platonic to:

• check out your best friend at every given opportunity

• nuzzle him when you hug

• say that his attitude and personality make him as much your type as a girl with the same traits

• be unable to keep your hands off him

• get possessive and jealous when other guys are interested

• tell him that you need some time to figure out if you're in love with him (you've always felt this) but you love him anyway

better luck next year honey, but i love your questioning queer ass 🥹 more than life itself
