So you know that one thing where the villain and hero switch bodies, and the villain was like, "Well, at least I can find out their secret identity", before he pulls off the mask and is like "I have no idea who this is", I just want that scene redone with Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Perry the Platypus, like one of Dr. Doofenshmirtz's inventions accidentally Freaky Friday them, and Dr. Doofenshmirtz is like, "well, at least I can know who Perry the Platypus really is" and then he takes off the hat, and he just goes "I have no idea who this is" that would be amazing, unfortunately, I am not very good at drawing

i have had enough DBD sadness. canonically, they cannot see themselves in mirrors, which means charles and edwin are constantly fixing each other’s hair, clothes, wiping dirt of each other’s faces. there is no other reasonable explanation for them both being so well kept.

Payneland is literally the opposite of "the feeling was friendship but neither of them had ever experienced it." They've been in love for 30+ years but don't know how to differentiate that from friendship because neither of them have ever experienced it

if you want to get really mad, one of the writers for Dead Boy Detectives confirmed on twitter today that the Season 2 script had been WRITTEN AND COMPLETED when the cancellation news went out.

This is really untenable, not just as people watching these shows for entertainment, but as people who care about art and workers being treated fairly.

#netflixcancels is trending because people are so angry about several other wonderful, highly praised shows getting axed for the same reasons - especially Warrior Nun, another LGBTQ show with 100% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and winner of several awards.

⭐️ I can only recommend, if this is important to you, streaming the hell out of Dead Boy Detectives and getting others on board, or you and everyone you know unsubscribes from Netflix. You can let em know on social media too.

There's also a petition, it's at 14k signatures, which is not nothing.

Anyway. I'm just stunned that Netflix bothers to make these shows which are positively received and artistically groundbreaking, just to destroy them after 1 season. It's unfair to everyone, not just fans, and an alarming sign for creative professions on the whole.

I really enjoy how Edwin subverts the expectations for his character archetype. Usually, if you had a character that was a mousey unpopular teenager who'd gotten bullied to death, they'd be shy and laden with insecurities, easily steamrolled by characters with more force of personality -- but instead, by the time you meet him in the show, Edwin's ego is basically bulletproof.

He is entirely confident in himself, and comfortable being himself, free to be as fussy, effeminate, and old-fashioned as he likes, because the only person whose opinion of him he gives a fuck about is Charles, and Charles thinks everything about Edwin is brilliant and he can do no wrong. Thirty years of Charles's radical acceptance has allowed him not only to be himself, but to be himself fearlessly.

And I think that's beautiful. :)
