I would apologize for this but there’s nothing to apologize for unless you are @netflix 🤷

Ok ok but you wanna know the real tea?? I've read several beach fics at this point (which are all awesome btw, y'all are amazing writers) and it's a beloved staple to have Edwin be somehwat scandalised at everyone's beach outfits not to mention all flustered from seeing Charles in swim wear. Which is a Good Trope, don't get me wrong, I love that just as much as the next person

HOWEVER

I think actually it's Charles who should be more shooketh about Edwin in his funky lil edwardian two piece!!

Picture this. The year is 1916. You are 16 year old Edwin Payne with a bunch of repressed gay thoughts. Much unpleasantness happens, you die and get dragged to hell, even more unpleasantness happens, 70 years later you finally manage to claw your way up and suddenly women are allowed to vote. There's been not one but two world wars, several countries you grew up reading about in the news don't exist anymore and mini skirts are a thing now.

All I'm saying is, for all the teasing Edwin gets for "What is a handjob?" and "Crystal's internet", this kid was essentially thrust into a scifi world full of weird shit and gets mostly by via an attitude which can only be paraphrases as "fuck it, this might as well be a thing (maybe ask Charles about it later)". King of adaption, master of radical acceptance.

Charles on the other hand, and I say this with only love in my heart, is at his core a boomer. He was there for every tiny gradual shift from '89 to modern day. Sure, he was dead for most of that time, but that's not really relevant. All I'm saying is, seeing the bbc announce marriage equality was probably a bigger shock to Charles than it was to Edwin. That's a guy who already had to accept he will never fully wrap his head around home television.

Also consider the states of undress they've been exposed to seeing the other in. Edwin was stripped to his underwear in hell and still had his knees and elbows covered. And that was probably a more exposing outfit than he'd ever be comfortable with. His usual casual get up features a sweater vest for crying out loud! Meanwhile you have Charles going full 'ceps out in his undershirt first chance he gets. Edwin either got real cool with a lot of shit real fast or he would have combusted several times over those 30 years.

And yes yes, we've all seen Edwin "Haunted By Gay Thoughts" Payne's mental slideshow of abs n hips close ups after getting one (1) glance at the Cat King's stomach. But to his credit, the man was going through a full blown sexuality crisis at that and has since emerged victorious.

So all I'm saying is. Edwin seeing Charles shirtless at the beach? Probably not even the first time this is happening, a lil flustering for sure but just last week he saw two people making out nasty on the tube so hell if he knows. Charles seeing Edwin's kneecaps and upper arms for the first time? Incredible, show stopping, pride and predjudice 2005 hand flex level of suppressed horniness.

Anyway. I'm writing this fic now and none of y'all can stop me.

Can we see the dbda comics meeting the show? I know you haven’t read the comics, but I don’t think any of us mind. 

I think they'll get along fine

"Well, I'm aces with people!" said the boy who was just killed by his friends

"I'm not good with other people..." said the boy who escaped dehumanizing 70+ years of Hell just to comfort a stranger through death

Absolutely adore your art of the boys as orbs. Please know that every time you post a new comic with them my day gets 120% better

Thank you!! Hope it still works with tiny versions :)

AU where everything's the same but trickster Cat King charges Edwin the more problematic task of Counting All the Queers in Port Townsend and Edwin's gonna have a harder time ignoring thinking lgbt thoughts

~~~

Edwin, with his little notebook, interviewing Tragic Mick: ... where would you say your romantic proclivities take you?

Mick: *silent stare, tons of ace cards crowning behind his head on the wall*

~~~

Edwin: there are 122. queers. in port Townsend

Cat King: you forgot to count Charles

[tragedy-machine]

who else does it like Edwin? who else would escape hell all on their own and survive a fucked up energy sucking machine that eviscerates normal ghosts within mere minutes??

his soul is so ripped, you wouldn't even believe it

folks, I present thee:

the strongest ghost in existence

"He's calling the spirits of darkness... I saw him do this once before when a girl dumped him."

Might I present a one Mr. Charles Rowland! Very pleased with how he came out. One more down, many more to go!
