Magic is very effective but the magic Edwin uses isn't like Harry Potter where you point a wand and say a spell for instant results, it seems to need some preparation which is why you need the brawn to give Edwin time to cast.

OOooo I would love to get fed some crumbs 🔪 !?

Some more Jenny trying to be the responsible adult:

"Edwin’s the brains, I’m the brawn, and we’ve been doing this a long time. It’s my job to take the risks, so he doesn’t have to.” “Edwin, the one who’s supposedly really good with magic when he’s actually gotten some sleep?” “Yeah, why?” Magic sounds more effective than a cricket bat when confronting supernatural threats, but what does she know? Clearly nothing, since she’s gone this long without realizing that witches, ghosts, and Cat Kings exist. Obviously, being the brawn is important to Charles and she’s not about to get in an argument with a middle aged sixteen year old before she’s finished her coffee.

The CAOS subreddit really seems to hate Harvey. They call him the worst because he broke up with Sabrina and also because he dates Roz. They call him ungrateful and prejudice against magic.

Most of Harvey's issues come from the death and resurrection of his brother. Tommy was killed by Agatha and Dorcas along with other innocent people, then Tommy was resurrected incorrectly by Sabrina. Harvey was then forced to kill his zombie brother. Frankly if Harvey wasn't wary and untrusting of magic I would be worried. Sabrina also told Harvey she was a witch and she was leaving forever, she gave him 30 seconds to come to terms before wiping his memory. More reasons to be wary of magic.

Harvey and Rosalind dating isn't the horrible crime it's made out to be. People say it's wrong for Roz to date Harvey because he's Sabrina's ex. However, Roz asked, and Sabrina gave her blessing. Also mentioned is how fast Harvey and Rosalind got together which completely ignores that Sabrina and Nick get together at exactly the same time, in fact they were going to participate in a witch set festival but got interrupted by an angry werewolf. I should mention that Harvey did try to restart his relationship with Sabrina at the end of season 1, but she declined.

Now as to what Harvey has actually done to be hated? Nothing besides some snarky comments and a general distrust of magic. However, despite this, he still helps when needed.

The one thing he should be ashamed of was siding with Roz when she accused Sabrina of causing her blindness. This was not cool and they were rightly told off by Theo who pointed out that Sabrina had helped them numerous times.

This was a bad thing to do. However, they made up for it in the same episode when Roz called and warned Sabrina about the witch-hunter, and Harvey raced to help when the academy was attacked.

I don't agree with what they said, but I do understand, Roz was dealing with spending the rest of her life blind and unfairly taking it out on Sabrina.

So, in conclusion, Harvey is fine and doesn't deserve all the hate. If you want to hate a character who actually deserves it, there is always Blackwood.

People have been posting their Cameos from Jayden and George. One stated what would be their dream roles? And Jayden said he would love to play a vampire. I am slightly obsessed with the idea of Vampire!Charles, and now I feel vindicated in that obsession.

It's now official, so people who can write do more fanfiction about Dead Boy Vampires, please.

[sonofhelios2005]

This is how it is for me. I think of Simon, I think of Alberto. The same is true with Isaiah Mustafa as Luke.

Sometimes my brain accepts actors playing different roles, but Alberto Rosende will always be Simon Lewis to me. So, watching Chicago fire, to me Simon changed his name and is now a firefighter in Chicago

Dead Boy Detectives AU, the boys are inhabitants of the Dreaming. If a person dies in their sleep, it is possible for them to stay within the Dreaming the realm of Dream of the Endless.

Edwin, instead of being sacrificed, is accidentally pushed down the stairs in a confrontation with Simon. He is rendered comatose and eventually dies, when he realises he is in the Dreaming he sets out to find help and encounters Lucienne the librarian of the Dreaming she explains to Edwin he died and can if he wishes remain instead of moving on. Edwin decides to stay and become Lucienne's assistant, helping maintain the library in Dreams Palace. To Edwin, this is heaven as he can live and work in peace with access to every book in history, even those never written.

70 years after Edwin died, Charles Rowland passes away in his sleep, hidden away in an attack he fled to after being assaulted by his friends. Charles finds himself in the Dreaming and, after having his situation explained by a friendly dream, Charles begins exploring finding the hidden paths through people's dreams. As he travels, he finds many unusual objects people had imagined, including a bag that was bigger on the inside. Charles soon encounters some Nightmares going too far in their function, and he steps in and stops them, allowing the dreamers easier sleep. Charles is now a dream who acts as a protector of dreamers and helping to keep the Nightmares in line.

Charles and Edwin soon meet, and Lucienne is happy to meet Charles as the Dreaming needs all the help it can get. Edwin, although initially standoffish, eventually became best friends with Charles not having realised how lonely he had become. As the years pass, Charles and Edwin continue their functions in the Dreaming until one day in the early 2000s, Charles comes across the Nightmares of Alex Burgess and learns what happened to Dream. Lucienne sends both Edwin and Charles to the waking world to undertake a rescue mission of Dream. Edwin, with the magical knowledge gained over decades, is able to free Dream whilst Charles protects them from Burgess's guards. Dream now free sets about fixing the Dreaming and gaining his tools back.

This isn't an actual story as I have no writing ability. Although anybody who can write is welcome to use it.

Rewatching the show as many times as I have means I can very confidently say Brad and Hunter are the worst, seriously screw them both to hell and back.

It really says something that the shows Big Bad is an immortal child murdering witch and she's still more likable than those two Thundercunts. Esther is so wonderfully over the top and hammy that you can't help but be entertained when she's on screen. Brad and Hunter, however, are a somewhat realistic portrayal of how people can be, which makes them so much worse.

[sonofhelios2005]

This is depressing as fuck.

I genuinely think if Edwin and the Cat King started dating seriously and fell in love then the Dead Boy Detectives Agency would fail. The Cat King is the is kind of petty cunt who would happily push Charles buttons even unprovoked.

Charles unfinished business is Edwin and if Edwin no longer needed him I could see Charles eventually go with Death eventually. If the Cat King used his powerful magic on jobs with the DBDA, Charles might slowly feel unneeded.

I just went on the TV Tropes pages for Dead Boy Detectives, and my god, does somebody hate Crystal. Almost everything on her character tropes are insults with nothing positive.

Now Crystal was an absolute bitch before her amnesia but she proved she could he a good person when her very first thought after seeing a young girl in danger was to go help. She clearly has the capacity for good, which she does as part of the agency. Does she make some reckless mistakes? Yes, she does, but she's genuinely trying her best to be an asset to Edwin and Charles. Also, the boys have been detectives for over 30 years. Crystal has been doing it for a week, so she's going to ro make a mistake or two.

[sonofhelios2005]

Did somebody say vampire AU? Are they both vampires? Is it just Charles or just Edwin? Are the still detectives? Do they kill people or drink magic synthetic blood? Are they angsty vampires or just go with the flow vampires?

Doesn't matter I'll read it.

No, I haven't written 8,000 words of a vampire au payneland fanfic in two days with no idea when I'll stop writing. I'm not that obsessed...

It would be funny if Monty was physically unable to enter because of this sign

i just noticed this sign on Jenny's shop...

... yeah, Monty!! you had better be sorry for going inside!!

just give poor Jenny another reason to lose her mind, why don't you...

[sonofhelios2005]

Even Tony wasn't really on his own side, he broke the accords to travel to Russia.

ever think about how aside from Rhodey, not even Tony's own team were really on his side because it was that garbage

Natasha, T'Challa and Vision either defected or half assed it because his lady love takes rightful priority, and T'Challa was only there on "team Iron Man" as an enemy of my enemy thing

And Peter didn't even know what was going on and was no doubt kept in the dark because if he had known he'd have been team Cap in an instant

Like...the whole set up and following films establish that Tony was not on the right side of history there his own team were like nah

Dead Boy Detectives AU, Cambion Charles. In this AU, Charles is half demon. Charles demonic parent is one of the demons who embody or are associated with Wrath, such as Andras, Aamon, and Aeshma, one of these possessed Charles dad before his birth. As to why a demon would sire a Cambion? Having a loyal demonic being on Earth to cause chaos and pain in their name, help condemn humans to hell and generally be an inconvenience.

As no two demons look similar, no two Cambion are identical. Some look entirely human whilst others are monstrous. Some are powerful magic users like Merlin, and others are predators who prey on humanity. Cambion are generally evil thanks to their demonic heritage, but certain Cambion can fight this part of themselves and are as normal as any human.

Charles is lucky for a Cambion as he was born looking entirely human however as he got older he discovered the more demonic part of himself, by his teenage years he was able to turn into a monstrous demonic form at will, although he never does this willingly unless he loses control of his emotions. He keeps a strong grip on any negative emotions as his demonic half is very prone towards violence, and because of this, he strives to be happy. Even when he looks human, certain things can give Charles away as inhuman. He is uncomfortable around religious iconography, and they will respond to his presence. His reflection can some show his inhuman side. Psychics are very sensitive to his presence.

Charles is incredibly strong and resilient and has nearly limitless endurance. He can wield fire and teleport in a flash of hell fire. Charles can grow stronger by feeding on negative, violent emotions, and if he wants, can sense an influence them to be on humans. He is immortal, and even if he's killed, he will simply end up in hell. He takes on his demonic form in hell. He is very capable of demonic magic but doesn't really have the patients for it besides the occasional spell and rune. He doesn't sleep and is unable to dream. He possesses the standard demonic weaknesses. However, he can't be exorcised, although they cause him immense pain.

Charles dad figured out something was wrong with Charles when he was a child thanks to some unnatural incidents, thinking him a monster he hurts him with crosses and by reciting passages from the bible, on some awful occasions he whipped Charles with cold iron. Over the years, Charles grew resistant to this, and after he throws his dad across a room, he is sent away to St. Hilarion's. At St. Hilarion Charles is able to make friends and have a somewhat normal time without anyone suspecting anything about him. Despite this, he still feels alone.

Charles doesn't sleep. However, he can astral project which he does sometimes and explorers as a spirit. During one of these times, his spirit is grabbed and taken to hell by his demonic parent, who Charles has only met on a few rare occasions. Whilst in hell Charles is forced to participate in the torment of souls in the Circle of Wrath, time passes differently in hell so while Charles body is seemingly comatose for a month on Earth he spent a decade in hell. After 10 years, Charles meets another boy, Edwin. Edwin is trying to escape, and after they both explain their situations, they agree to help each other. Charles holds off the demon spider whilst Edwin escapes. On Earth, Edwin is able to wake Charles and bring his spirit back to his body.

On Earth, Edwin to Charles delight is entirely unconcerned by Charles being a Cambion, allowing Charles to be himself for the first time. Edwin is not a normal ghost his soul forged in hell by decades of torment is incredibly strong and can use magic on a scale beyond any other ghost. He can draw power from hell and, if essential, a Ghost Sorcerer. Charles and Edwin began exploring the supernatural world together and soon became detectives who specialised in hell related issues.

My god, I can ramble about stuff. This won't be a story it's just my mad rambling that has gotten seriously out of hand.

[sonofhelios2005]

Charles unfortunately isn't bisexual the comics that's just something that started getting said online.

people seem to forget that in the dbd comics, Charles was canonically bisexual. yes, I’m aware that comic and series Charles are very different, but I don’t think that the rejection in the show was a matter of gay or straight. no, it was a matter of feelings.

[sonofhelios2005]

History Repeats, Dead Boy Detectives AU. Charles suffers the same fate as Edwin.

Instead of beating and stoning, Charles, his friends, waited until later that night and forced him into the basement of the school. They had just intended to brutalise him. However, one of the boys found a dusty book in the corner of the basement. He reads random parts from the book, unknowingly repeating the same passage that summoned Sa'al 70 years ago. The demon appears and kills the boys and looks at Charles and comments that he didn't think this would happen again. Sa'al offers an apology to Charles before he tears out his soul and takes him to hell.

A few days later, in the same basement, Edwin Payne manages to escape hell after decades of torment. Edwin, having no wish to stay around the place he died, has nothing to keep him in the school returns to his old family home and takes to haunting it.

This won't actually be a story as I have no writing ability. it's just my mad rambling.

[sonofhelios2005]

Random headcanon about Charles. Edwin says the school covered up Charles death. This is never actually elaborated upon, but most seem to assume Charles had a funeral.

However, I like the idea that the school did more than just tell Charles parents he died in an accident or doing something reckless. What if after they found his body, they buried it somewhere in the school grounds. Charles and Edwin didn't go back to the school for several days after they ran from death, so they missed where he was buried. The school told Mr and Mrs Roland Charles had run away, this isn't questioned by them because they both know Charles had multiple reasons to leave.

[sonofhelios2005]

People joke that Charles fails as the Brawn, but he actually does incredibly well. He's not supposed to be some super strong anime character who can destroy any enemy with a single punch. His job as the brawn is to be the protector and defender, which we see him do many times. He holds off the WW2 ghost whilst Edwin does his magic. He very successfully dealt with the Night Nurse. He banishes David in the forest. He goes to hell for Edwin and sets the Doll Spider Demon on fire twice. He kills the giant snake with a sword. Does he get knocked around? Yes, but that unfortunately comes with being the brawn.

Special mention to him becoming trapped in the Devlin House, this wasn't because he failed at being the brawn instead it's because he had such severe trauma related to the house he was vulnerable to being trapped in the loop and wasn't thinking clearly when he got hit by the dad.

[sonofhelios2005]

I was thinking about some of the magic items the boys have collected over 30 years and tried to come up with an interesting one.

A Good Luck/Bad Luck Dice.

This item will grant good luck if you roll an even number, but bad luck if you roll an odd number. The effects of the luck positive or negative will depend on how high the number you roll is. Edwin was even fond fond of this item until he somehow managed to roll a seven on Friday the 13. The bad luck he and Chales suffered ultimately resulted in them being trapped in the Bag of Tricks for two days with an angry cursed duck. After this, they decide not to use the dice anymore as it carries too much risk.
