what if charles starts acting weird around edwin because he realised he likes him back but doesnt know what to do about it. edwin thinks hes acting weird because hes uncomfy and worried edwin is gonna try a move on him so he tells charles "dont worry im not gonna kiss you or anything haha" and charles is like "why not 🥺"

Maybe this'll be really unpopular (guess that's what this blog is for lmao), but with all the new spoilers dropping I'm starting to get a little glad we didn't get season 2. I'm sure they'd do everything really well, and I'd love to see the gay bar episode, but bringing back Esther and the Cat King? I had such a visceral negative reaction to both those pieces of news.

To explain myself: I think there is a massive problem in series', across a lot of different types of media, of having recurring villains, people who come back just because no one can be bothered to think up a new villain, and it ruins a lot of things for me. Imo Esther was really well dealt with in season 1; considering she'd technically immortal, I think they got rid of her really neatly and in such a beautifully appropriate way. She's being punished by the goddess whose gift she used to feed hundreds of little girls to her giant snake. That's such a wonderful ending. It's fanfiction's job to bring her back over and over, just like it's fanfiction's job to put Edwin in Hell over and over; it's the show's job to come up with a new villain.

I very much don't ship Catwin - I like the Cat King as a character but I am very strongly against the ship for reasons I have given before (the Cat King's loneliness means he needs friends, not a boyfriend, and I don't think it would set a good precedent for Edwin's future relationships to sleep with the guy who tried to coerce him into sex) - so that might be colouring my thoughts against his reappearance in season 2, but I just... I think he's served his purpose with the Agency. Maybe a spin-off or something about him, Monty, and Tragic Mick making friends and dealing with the fall-out from Esther's end would work, but I don't want him becoming part of the Agency or even really interacting with them much because, to me at least, it would just feel forced.

And also, it just feels like both Esther and the Cat King are very rooted in Port Townsend. They've been there for centuries. And now that Niko has 'died' and Jenny's considering moving to London, there's no reason for the Agency to ever go back there. I know a lot of people are attached to Port Townsend as a location because that's most of what we see in the show, but I'd love to see the Agency in London, where they've been already for years. They must have quite a large network of supernatural acquaintances, if not friends, in the UK and I think it would be a shame for the show not to properly explore all the potential that has.

Overall, I don't know. I think Dead Boy Detectives is an amazing show that deserves to have loads of seasons exploring lots of different characters and locations, and the number of characters that feel like they should have been a one-off in the first season but were apparently going to come back in season 2 suggests to me that it was only going to get one or two seasons anyway.

Don't worry, guys, they were just having an intense 10 minutes long sequence montage of american tax system fucking them both so it could be considered "an adult experience"

(This ask isn’t Twitter discourse. It’s worse).

After the spoilers I’m kind of glad we aren’t getting a season two. Idk Edwin being turned into a party gay and given the Shiro from Voltron treatment (with some random side character for a boyfriend) and Cryland’s really feigned chemistry inevitably being shoehorned into a canon ship just… would ruin what was a really good queer show and turn it into something that panders to a cishet audience once more, idk.

Maybe it is just better that things left off where they were.

I've been so annoyed with how some people are all or nothing, for many things, but now particularly for the whole Jayden situation

So many of us knew he would eventually face some consequences to the way he's been dealing with the fandom, he's a grown man and would eventually have to learn how to deal with the not nice part. Also the way he went about it, the timing with the cameos, it was just all very impulsive and kinda shitty

So there's no need to act like he's an angel and everyone else is bad. He's been making some choices and looking way too much into dbdtwt, and now has decided to move away. Which I hate but it's probably the best thing he could do for now.

BUT ALSO that doesn't mean we can't sympathize! Or that no fan was wrong! Full grown adults went online to tag him and complain about prices on a service he's doing (the cameos), called him and George classicists, none of that was necessary. Being upset about the prices is completely understandable but it wasn't anything so out of pocket to justify a ton of tweets going on about it

Both things can be true, and I've seen people either demonize the fans entirely or Jayden entirely. Things are not black and white.

'You look well fit mate'

'P-perhaps you should go with Crystal instead?'

'We need your big brain when we get to the files'

Edwin's like - well I have a solution for that 'Carry a mirror in your bag?'

Charles winces

'Edwin, mate, ah....this isnt a place where you take a girl...if you know what I mean?'

'Its dangerous?'

'Not exactly'

'Its either Crystal and Niko go as a team or you and me...do you get it now?'

'Charles!!' he hisses 'Did you not consider this information pertinent before we were almost at the venue???'

Asidian

RIP Edwin, his poor dead heart can't take this :>a

Kaciart

Charles ends up being way more convincing that he thought he would be

because his eyes can not stay away from that strip of skin

Asidian

....fair, honestly

Charles out here learning some things about himself >>

Crystal is helping :>a

Kaciart

Charles is just a dude bro gay

They figured he'd pass well as that version

Asidian

Girls, please. The missed opportunity. You could have put him in a mesh shirt and given Edwin a heart attack

smh

Kaciart
