#CRYSTAL !!!!!! :sob:

[paraphwrites]

so, canonically in the comics, i'm pretty sure (i've not read all of them), what happens to crystal is

she just grows up

she grows up and she has a life outside of the boys and eventually she just moves on and can't see ghosts anymore

and i think that is absolutely tragic

and i fully believe that crystal from the @netflix show wouldn't just stop talking the boys fully. i think they'll keep in touch. but one day charles and edwin will no longer be a big part of crystal's life. they'll be friends she brings up at parties -when i was a teenager, i met the weirdest british guys, oh i hope they're doing well now- and that she reminisces on from time to time but they will not be the main characters in her life anymore

to me, that is the true tragedy in anything involving immortality. as those who have seen doctor who can attest, an immortal and a human can never truly love for long. time or love will tear you apart.

crystal isn't immortal. she's alive and sixteen and she won't always be sixteen

and yeah. i think that's maybe the true tragedy of it all

BUT ALSO (yes there's more) that is the POINT. the THESIS of 'dead boy detectives' is letting go. that it is okay to love someone and let go, that it is okay to hate someone and let go, that you cannot carry this weight forever. that you absolutely can never let go of the ones you love not ever not ever and sometimes they are taken from you anyway.

one day crystal palace von whatever the fuck will let go of charles and edwin. and it will be tragic. and they will all carry that loss. and they will all carry on.

i'll draw art for it in the morning but au where cole gets stuck in the temple of airjitzu but the show carries on. every couple of weeks one or more of the remainig ninja brave the temple to talk to him (staying by the door each time so itms an easy escape) and update him on stuff, and let him know they remember him. however, slowly over time, the curse has its effect and cole starts to forget them. it starts with small things, like moments they had together or facts about each of them, but then it gets worse. he forgets villains they've faced, people who aren't the ninja, even the ninja's names. the ninja all start to visit together because they know their time is coming to a close.

one night cole waits for them at the door and says "i don't know why but i felt like i needed to be here. are you the people i'm supposed to meet?"

they talk, and cole doesn't really understand what they're talking about but he knows deep down that these people are important, and that makes what they're re talking about important, too.

and then the next time the ninja go to visit him he isn't by the door. he didn't remember to wait for them

creators: “so rose will be soft and pink with a button nose, stars in her eyes, cute chubby cheeks, & the most precious (often confused) facial expressions. she will be filled with childlike wonder and a desire to heal others. she will spend her days playing with Lion Friends. she will be loved for 6,000 years by this badass swordfighter who thinks everything about rose is precious and her main soft spot is her fear of not being able to protect her.”

also creators: “but she’s SAD. like really sad. she has a dark past & no one knows how much they mean to her & she doesn’t know how much she means to THEM because she like, hates herself. lots of people won’t understand her so they’ll hate her, too. she’s also dead before the show starts. alright let’s get started—”

[ace-and-the-rpg-horrors]

do you often think about how Niko's hair still seems to cling to Crystal after she reluctantly pulls away from the hug. or are you normal

[doostyaudi]

Been thinking abt Crystal and Bill back in Euclidia (Euclidya? Crud i don't remember...), they actually didn't hate each other unlike nowadays...

Excuse me if things r inconsistent im trying to figure out how to draw these things LOL

5 years later and I'm still really upset Netflix canceled the second season of The Dark Crystal

[flufallo]

I love when Edwin calls a VCR a Victrola and crystal just being like '??? A what' And then he goes 'a victrola, a phonograph, a stereo" and crystal Is just super confused because she did not in fact grow up in Edwardian England like Edwin did
