Bisexual crisis Crystal edition
#dead boy detectives#dbda#palasaki#palasaki week#it was supposed to be for the free day but i've completely lost the plot and I don't know if I'm on time#...or early#i know we all like to think crystal knows she likes girls#buuuut we saw her past. that is not an emotionally intelligent person#i think she was the kind of girl who put other girls down idk#i just think considering how she speaks for women so many times throughout the show#that it would be great character development#also charles figured it out decades ago#maybe even while he was alive#most of the time he crushes on girls though so you wouldn't know it#edwin probably doesn't know either i'm aware#but imagine if you will him reacting to this like "ugh#because he was there when Charles went through this journey and he did not care for it lol#whatever. niko you angel we all adore you#especially crystal... tho edwin might not like that#edwin: how dare you suggest you like niko more than i do?#preposterous

It’s interesting finally starting a show that’s been cancelled because I often gauge how much I liked it by how pissed off I am that’s it’s been cancelled
In this case it’s dead boy detectives and oh. I am so mad. This show is literally built for longevity. You would never run out of cases for the boys to solve. There is so much lore to pull big bads from. And the characters are so good and they carry the show so well. You had literal gold served to you on a platter and you cancel it???
Anyway. I loved the show very much and I am incredibly bitter. Netflix it is on site
#also Edwin is everything to me and I would die for him#and that cliffhanger with Niko was rude#thank you and goodbye#dead boy detectives

it’s heartbreaking but dead boy detectives is still my favourite show of all time, and i just want to say that i’m so grateful for the community that bond many and many amazing, creative and loving people together 🤎
this show single-handedly ended my year long artblock and became a source of inspiration during these few months, and of course I would not like to let it go so easily I will continue to create 🔎✨

This is one of Edwin's most iconic lines, actually.
and I feel we need to acknowledge it more. his bitchiness is on point, but like *respectfully* - it's just so quintessentially Edwin.
#also the way george rexstrew delivered that line is permanently echoing around in my brain#and I love charles' little head nod#and niko raising her eyebrows like “oh I'd forgotten he was this bitchy"#edwin payne my beloved#dead boy detectives#dbda#the case of the hungry snake#edwin payne#charles rowland#the principal#niko sasaki#george rexstrew#my post#my gifs

Dead Boy Detectives has everything:
Co Dependent queer platonic tough to define Best Freinds who would and have gone to hell for each other. they have an office with a cupboard full of board games, and a long history of Noodle Incident cases of '04, and also a bunch of maneuvers with code names. They are also ghosts who solve mysteries for other ghosts.
One is a sassy well read diva in a stupid little bowtie. he keeps meticulous notes, and went to hell on a technicality. he has no rizz and has a sexual awakening at the hands (paws?) of a supernatural Cat King
the other is a cheerful happy bruiser, the brawn with a pocket demension only he can navigate in his backpack, a magic cricket bat, and wells of anger deep down
they team up with a cool psychic (whos also a pretty tree) dealing with her asshole abusive boyfriend who was literally a demon while also trying to restore her memories (she also has a hilarious hate off off with the nerdy one)
then they add a sweet shut in who isn't very brave but is very inquisitive and has excellent reading comprehension and is actually the most brave
and their landlady is a hot goth Sapphic butcher who is done with their shit (but not really)
and the main antagonist is a cunt serving witch with an iron cane chewing up the scenery, just camp queen obsessed with Beauty and Revenge as she should be
she turns her crow familiar into an astrology loving twink to honeypot the nerdy one but the crow catches feelings whoops
the cat king who deserves his own mention again. he's here to seduce a stuffy British detective/tease, cause problems on purpose, reluctantly help solve those problems and mostly slut it up.
a bureaucrat learns to VERY reluctantly embrace the beautiful power of friendship after being swallowed by a fish
its set in a gorgeous seaside town with a light house! and a malt shop!
because this is all A Scooby Doo homage!
It's an episodic Case Of The Episode format! with strong serialized elements!
and as if that wasn't enough there's even Death of The Endless.
what more could any person possibly want in a show.
oh and there's a lot of really interesting themes around internalized homophpbia, abusive relationships and trauma and toxic anger and learning to love and trust and help other people again in spite of and because of the bad parts.

I'm really curious about how much the girls ACTUALLY know about how the boys died. While the audience is privy to flashbacks that explain it, the girls aren't - unless, the Night Nurse is somrhow able to show them Charles' memories, which I doubt because I think A, we'd have seen a bigger reaction from Crystal and Niko, and B, I think they all would have been much more understanding of the visceral and emotional reaction Charles has after to the Night Nurse goading and mocking him while forcing him to relive those big traumas.
The only thing they (Really, just Crystal) gets is when Edwin says that his death was an "act of God" and Charles' was "covered up" by the school. Which isn't exactly descriptive. I feel like Crystal and Niko don't fully grasp that the boys are genuinely ghosts who genuinely died and are, as such, super fucking trauamatised because of it. And, I think it'd be super intreasting to see how the girls react to finding out these things about them, especially with the fact that Crystal seemed to have been quite the bully in the past (and both boys were killed by bullies) and Niko mentions having gone to a boarding school where she left because she felt alone and outcasted (mainly due to her fathers death, but come on, I'll be damn shocked if there wasn't some sort of teen bullying there) the compsrisons and paralelles are really interesting to me and I want it explored more.
#charles rowland#edwin paine#niko sasaki#crystal palace#dead boy detectives#dbda#dead boy detective agency#i also really want more details on how the boy's living lives affect their current afterlives#I NEED more on Charles father and Edwin's family#and I want more details abour Niko and her family#PLEASE#shit talker talks#crystal palace surname von hoverkraft

Reverse Verse poster!
This is another commission for @i-am-as-normal-as-you-are because we are obsessed with this verse and have like a million things planned, but somehow a poster never occurred to me
#dead boy detectives#dbda#edwin payne#charles rowland#niko sasaki#crystal palace surname von hoverkraft#reverse verse#the original poster is purple but this au feels red to me#also people say red and purple don't go well together and i took it personal#i really like niko's clothes#she used to be a miko back in japan so here she goes for what feels familiar even without her memories#also charles being the only one smiling felt right#a very suspicious smile
