( Questions were inspired by this wonderful post <3)

Here is my question for George:

If Charles asked Edwin, "Would you still love me if I were a worm?" what do you think Edwin’s answer would be?

Here are my questions for Jayden:

Is there a list of things Charles dislikes? Is he scared of water or swimming? If Edwin asked him "Would you still love me if I were a worm?" what do U think Charles’ answer would be?

[creamsoda1998]

Here’s a question for Edwin: Has he ever haunted Charles’s killers? If so, what did he do? If not, why didn’t he? I asked Jayden the same questions, and you can find his answers at the link below:

One fateful night transforms Asher’s life forever…

Written By: Robbie Hyne

Narrated By: Jayden Revri

I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in bringing this story to life. @jaydenrevri is not only so talented, but so kind and generous. Reading these stories flexes a whole different acting muscle, and I don’t think many actors expect the unique challenge that it is. It’s rare to come across such a natural at it, but Jayden impressed me with exactly that. I’m beyond grateful for the time and care he put into narrating this piece, and I’ll never stop feeling lucky to have him in our little world!

Night Nurse mentioned that Charles' cause of death was hypothermia and internal bleeding, and I'd like to dive deeper into the discussion about internal bleeding.

Here are some thoughts on Charles’ death and his chance of survival in 1980s.

TW: Detailed discussion of major injury The information below is intended to be roughly medically accurate, but I’m not a trauma surgery specialist, so please feel free to share corrections!

Although the Night Nurse only mentioned internal bleeding, the term generally refers to bleeding within the abdominal cavity, particularly from organs like the spleen or liver, which are highly vascular and prone to damage from trauma.

However, based on anatomical positioning, these organs are protected by the rib cage. Considering the size of the rock, the angle of the throw, and the cushioning effect of the lake water, it seems unlikely that the impact directly caused organ damage.

A more plausible explanation would be that Charles sustained his injuries from being hit or kicked by his so-called "friends." This theory also aligns with his rigid stance in the lake, he likely didn’t dare to run or fight back because stepping out of the water might have led to another beating.

Blunt abdominal trauma caused by physical violence can lead to internal bleeding, most commonly from ruptured spleens and livers. Other potential injuries include damage to the intestines and pancreas.

The spleen and liver are particularly prone to bleeding, with the severity depending on the amount of blood loss and the extent of tissue laceration. These injuries can worsen over time.

Liver lacerations might be managed with embolization (though this technique wasn’t as advanced in the 1980s) or surgery, while splenic injuries generally require surgical intervention.

Given the likely mechanism of Charles’s injuries, multiple organ damage is plausible, and such cases almost always necessitate surgery.

Patients with less severe organ damage might survive under conservative observation, but Charles only survived a few hours (while also likely dealing with hypothermia). This suggests that his organ damage was significant, potentially with severe bleeding (as the body can sometimes lose a staggering amount of blood before losing consciousness), or his condition deteriorated rapidly.

Even if he had been transported to a hospital from school, the chances of saving him would have been slim.

Additionally, even if Charles had survived surgery, being immersed in lake water would have significantly increased his risk of developing aspiration pneumonia and wound infections, alongside other possible complications from abdominal surgery.

All things considered, the internal bleeding caused by blunt force trauma might not be visually obvious on screen, but it would have made Charles experience more pain and gradually grow weaker, which absolutely breaks my heart. Moreover, it reveals that what seemed like a sloppy "teach you a lesson" act was, in reality, no different from murder. I really, really hope Edwin does something to those bastards.

Here are my questions for this cameo: In ep4, what is Edwin referring to when he says "extreme" after Charles attacks the Night Nurse? What was Edwin thinking when Charles refused to be comforted?

Here is my question for this cameo: Jayden said on a Twitch stream that he tried to make you laugh where he was playing Charles disguised as the Cat King, but you stayed professional the entire time. Could you share any funny moments from the set?

[creamsoda1998]

My questions were: How will Edwin react if he know what Night Nurse did to Charles after ep4? Did they know they make each other jealous & get jealous for each other? Did Charles notice Edwin changed outfit to confess to him?

Protective Edwin and protective Charles mean so much to me <3

[creamsoda1998]

I hope this cameo reaches those creators and readers who love alternative universe Payneland and protective Edwin.

My questions were: what insights did Jayden and the guidance counselors share on Charles' trauma? What about his parents? If the boys had attended school at the same time, would they have become friends? If they did go to school together, how do you think they would hang out? If they get to meet each other’s parents, how would they react?

so, edwin enlisting charles’ help in learning how to kiss, right?

charles being like, “all right. before we get started, show me what you think you know about kissing.”

and edwin looks at him nonplussed. “charles, i do not know anything about kissing. that is why we are taking part in this ex—”

“nah, mate, i know that. but, like, you’ve got to have some idea, yeah? like… what you’d do in 1908, or whatever.”

“i was eight years old in 1908.”

“you know what i mean!”

and edwin is all, “…fine.”

and he sort of… sits lost in thought for a minute. charles is expecting him to go in for a very chaste peck, or something. even a kiss on the cheek.

but edwin reaches for one of charles’ hands instead. picks it up delicately, curls his fingers around charles’ in a loose but undeniable hold that charles could pull free from, if he wanted.

edwin dips his head, and glances up at charles through his lashes as if for assent, and then he raises charles’ hand to press a brushing kiss to charles’ knuckles, not looking away all the while.

“charmed, i’m certain, mr. rowland,” he murmurs, still bent low over charles’ hand.

and just as quickly, he’s let charles’ hand drop again, is withdrawing his own back to his lap, looking at charles like he’s expecting to be graded.

and charles is like, what the fuck??? was that??? blushing. completely flustered. gobsmacked. taken out at the knees. can a hand kiss make him fall in love???

not to be controversial but supernatural went on for 15 seasons because of the tumblr girlies, the destiel shippers who filled con seats, wrote thousands of fanfiction works and drew tons of fan art. we were rabid, delulu and powerful- so much so that that ending with the confession, that's become so memeable that aliens a hundred years from now will see it and cringe, was fanservice.

And yet, when we get a series that is actually queer, well written and produced, with loveable characters and a story that is interesting- tailor made for us- the tumblr girlies, the queers, the shippers and it gets cancelled after one season, no one seems to be devastated still. how are we all not rabid at this moment? How have you all managed to move on?

I was late to the dead boy detectives party and for that I regret but please, if you haven't seen it yet, go, watch it!!!

[creamsoda1998]

charles + hands

for @iammissdistress and @purgatory606

[creamsoda1998]

Your art is so, so, so, so cute. If you ever were so inclined, I would love to see your take on Charles finally getting to eat a plate of spaghetti

Edwin wasn't too sure he liked it, but I think he's convinced now!

ko-fi

JAYDEN: out of everything to come of this show, i think george is probably one of the thing that im definitely the most grateful for.

[creamsoda1998]

Somehow forgot to post:

Jayden on 5/18/24 Twitch Stream: He was asked about playing Charles disguised as the Cat King and if it was weird or fun to come on to George; he said it was so much fun and his goal for every take was to try to make George laugh.

I just realized there’s people out here who don’t know Henry wrote Alex a Christmas card so here you go (from Casey’s ig back in 2020)

TRANSCRIPTION:

Alex,

There are years, and have been for me, during which the holidays become a long, lonely walk through a dark wood. Perhaps something irreplaceable has been lost.

You stand before an icy path listening to the sound of bells, but you can't recall how to follow them. Even if you could, last year's coat wasn't made for this cold. And why should it be? You don't know the person who wore it any more than you know how to walk toward that goddamned ringing. You can't remember a hearth, or a warm hand, or the smell of cinnamon and ginger-or, you can, but you can't bear it, so you tell yourself that you don't.

But there are also years that feel like a fresh snow. The first one of the year, an early, unexpected rush that knocks all the yellow leaves down. It's strange to feel a beginning here, but I do. God, I do.

I love you for a thousand reasons and in a thousand ways, but today in particular I love you because I can't wait to wake up on Christmas morning. I want the entire horrible, embarrassing ordeal-crackers and pudding and scratchy wool sweaters. (And yes, I will even consent to those matching ones you sent me. I am that thankful.) I want new traditions with you, and because they will be by your design, I am confident they will be ridiculous and sacrilegious and wonderful. I want to crackle across the radio with a Christmas address that's only an itemized list of your holiday sock collection, beginning with the ones that have Father Christmas in a cowboy hat on them.

Put your chin on my shoulder, love. Climb under the quilt. Remind me what joy feels like. You do it every day, darling-shouldn't be too troublesome for you.

Thank you for meeting me in the wood. Thank you for leading me home.

Happy Christmas,

Henry
