Cameo week highlights, general info edition part 1

Jayden was the one to give Charles his earring, stripes in his sideburns and the guyliner!

Charles was a momma's boy ToT

a lot of the scenes in the Edwin and Charles first meeting montage were one and only takes because they were pressed for time while filming

Jen (Esther's actress) improvised a lot of her lines

On rare occasions that Jayden and George were apart during filming they missed each other

if they were to be cast in a musical Jayden would have cast George as Orpheus in Hadestown and for himself he'd choose Simba in the Lion King musical

the lost & found dep, hell and the hotel from the pilot all shared the same corridor! that part of the set was reused quite a lot

George's and Jayden's orb names would be Gorbge and Jorbden lmaoo

Cameo week highlights, s2 spoilers edition

Esther was supposed to be a part of s2, under a disguise

There was supposed to be an ep of them going to Japan, "to deliver a body to someone's relatives" (zombie niko??)

there was supposed to be a musical-themed ep

the Cat King was supposed to come back too and he was relevant to the "Edwin was supposed to have his first adult experience in s2" conversation

Just a quick note: my notifications are bananas right now, so if you tagged the archive and I didn't acknowledge it, please feel free to poke me again, drop a line, etc. I'm trying to see everything at once like a biblically accurate angel, and I am not built for it. :)

Things We Missed Out on in Season 2 💔

A musical episode where a drag queen sang to a group of reanimated corpses in a sewer.

A Christmas special.

A Halloween special.

An episode where Edwin developed a crush on an Irish boy who was sacrificed by a gay cult and was involved in a kill scene in a gay bar. (See: Edwin meeting another human sacrifice.)

Edwin losing his virginity to the Cat King.

Esther coming back in disguise and calling herself Babs.

The thing that makes me so sad is that George and Jayden both were very excited about the season, too. I trust their judgment. I think it was probably going to be amazing.

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?

From the wonderful @edmcmayonnaise, creator of the Gameoden chart that is saving my sanity.

"Jayden, I fell down the stairs and broke my foot because I missed the step when I was scrolling Instragram and got distracted by a picture of you holding a cute baby fox. I just needed you to know this because it made me laugh so hard to this day. My foot is fine, by the way. And also I am Team Edwin now."

"For you and George (but mostly George because I'm now Team Edwin), a hypothetical: would you rather be a cat in Port Townsend with the Cat King as your boss, work in the Afterlife Department with the Night Nurse as your boss, or work for Tragic Mick at his shop stocking potentially dangerous magical items?"

Featuring some important safety advice:

G: Get off your phone when you are--

J: Stop scrolling when you're walking up or down stairs.

G: Flat is fine (He demonstrates with his hand) But if it's up (now both are demonstrating) or doon [down] it's a nooo [no] from ewws [us]. Booo! [Bye!]

You guys. Cameo is now invested in Dead Boy Detectives.

Like, I feel like our boys broke the internet in the best possible way, and I can't stop laughing.

First, after I'm sure their algorithm went haywire from the huge influx of cameo requests that just showed up on George's profile out of seemingly nowhere, Cameo's interest is piqued. They post this:

And then, a few hours later, this:

(For the record, I agree. This screenshot goes down in award winning history).

And, lastly, after scratching their heads at the fact that we are overtaking their platform, they do some digging and ask:

And I just feel like whoever is handling their social media is like, "what in the holy hell just happened," but also, " these boys are internet cotton candy and now I'm invested in their success. What is this jargon that you speak of?"

Anyway. Carry on :)

"Straydenation shoutout plus Starbucks shenanigans 😂"

Brisbane Supernova, an Australian convention was recently, and a bunch of Straydenation got together one of the days, so thank you to you guys and Dead Boy Detectives as a whole for bringing us together. Thank you for making this the best November there's been in a long time.

What’s your favourite early morning pre-breakfast snack recommendations? Need ideas for when I'm up that early.

A brief primer on Straydenation.

"Number 4" (number 3 filmed the beginning help 😅) this was what age or whatever they wanted to see the boys have in the office"

As someone who loves the fact that the boys have a games/trinkets collection, and has quite the collection, what game or trinket would you love to see Edwin and Charles have in the office today that they don't already have?

"What Pokémon do you personally think best represents Edwin and Charles? I may or may not be planning to get a cross over Pokemon/Dead Boy Detectives tattoo at some point in the future."

Jayden: [thanks Liz for streamden stuff]

George: "I don't know what any of that means!"

Liz: [asks a pokemon question]

Me: "I don't know what any of that means!"

"Cameo number 2! Jayden would want Charles to meet Morbius so he can be turned into a vampire (someone get him into a vampire role already please) and George Agatha for Edwin! There was also moments from the comics they want o see adapted. THE ENDING AS WELL MY HEART ❤️❤️❤️❤️"

As a long time fan of the comics, thank you for being the best version of Edwin and Charles. The comics helped me through a rough patch and the show made me fall in love with the franchise even more.

If you could have Edwin and Charles meet any DC or Marvel character who would you want them to meet?

Is there a moment from the DBD comics you would really like to see adapted at some point?

[gameo-archive]

i’m sure there will be many things i notice because of the cameos, but it’s actually soooo interesting to me how soft spoken george is, compared to edwin. like their volumes are soo different.

Cameo week highlights so far, payneland edition:

- if Edwin and Charles could choose their afterlife it would be each other

- puppy debacle of 06 was Charles bringing in a ghost puppy that turned out not to be a normal one (maybe a hell hound??)

- if they weren't detectives Edwin would go into smth editorial and Charles would go into fighting

- IF they went on a date, Charles would want to take Edwin to do smth outdoorsy that they don't usually do e.g. doing something sporty

- they would want to take the other on vacation to the Maldives and to Scotland (guess who chose which lol)

- Charles uses physical touch as reassurance, and feels reassured by Edwin's praise like "excellent job today, Charles", Edwin takes care of Charles by fixing up his clothes

- Charles likes how intelligent, competent and organized Edwin is, Edwin likes how protective and brave Charles is

"Jayden as a vampire and George as a villain or James Bond when?????"

Hello Jayden and George. I hope you guys are ok and doing well. What are your dream roles for the future? If you could manage to insert yourself into any movie or show to ever have existed what show/movie would you choose?

[gameo-archive]

"Hello, George, it's me again, and hello Jayden. Keeping my first question simple: is there anything you'd like to see more fan art of in DBD? I'd also love to make a key chain of Raffy and one for Luna to give to you at some point if that's ok."

i've decided not to share my full cameo because they responded to some personal stuff i'd rather not be spread around, but the boys were so, so sweet and kind and i cried a lot lol. i still wanted to share some of it with everyone. so i've transcribed what they said!

i asked them: if prompted, what would the boys say their favourite thing is about the other?

J: I think Charles' favourite thing about Edwin would be his organization, and his knowledge for the work. [George nodded and agreed with this] Because that is kind of what the boys are doing together, you know? They're detectives and they're solving theses cases and if Charles was left to his own devices [he laughs] to kind of sort out cases and everything there would be no organization and no body would have a clue what the hell is going on. G: Yeah and I would say off the back of that, Edwin's favourite thing is that he knows that Charles is--well I think he's very moved by how protective he is of him, even though he wouldn't admit it. But I think he appreciates how Charles is really happy to get his hands dirty. Charles is the one who throws the grenade. Edwin builds it, Charles does the dirty work. I don't think Edwin physically likes to get his hands dirty, so I would say that. But I also would say, you know, we've talked about it a lot in our interviews and it's commented on how they kind of complete each other. And I also think it's worth saying, I think the boys know that. I think they know that their favourite thing about the other is that the other is like their other half. J: It really is like the ying to the yang, isn't it? G: Yeah, and I think they're aware of it, I don't think it's just something that you see from the outside in. So I would say that is ultimately, for sure, Edwin's favourite thing about Charles.

the only other thing i'll add is jayden signed off the cameo by saying "love from your dead boys" because in my message i said i hoped it was okay that i referred to them as "my dead boys" to which they BOTH were like "we ARE your dead boys" which was well and truly the end for me.😭

i love them so very much. our dead boys. ❤️💙
