Warmth and Fuzzies for ALL on DBDA Cast Appreciation Week

This intrepid poster kindly thought to reach out to Beth (DBDA co-showrunner) thanking her for work on Dead Boy Detectives.

And not only did she see it. She responded. And turned right around and expressed the creatives' gratitude for all of us. ❤️

And Zack, one of the writers on the show, jumped in on the love-fest.

I am so glad the cast and creatives felt our love this week. Thank you to every single person who participated in DBDA Cast Appreciation Week. Thank you to every single person who continues to support the show in whatever way they can.

They feel our love. And looking at Beth's response, they are grateful to our not-so little fandom for loving what they've made, and for fighting to bring it back.

What we do matters, y'all.

And I'm grateful to our not-so-little fandom. We are welcoming and kind. We are inclusive and encouraging and creative (and by "we being creative", I mean YOU all. I consume your art, weep, grin, cheer, and happily repost or comment like it's my second job. That's my role here.) We are, collectively, deeply passionate about this show.

So on the the tail-end of this DBDA Cast Appreciation week, let me just express how deeply appreciative I am to every single person participating in this fandom.

Thank you.

Zack Ogle, the writers' assistant on dbda, said that Edwin loves Christmas and likes to decorate the office

Meanwhile George and Jayden said that the boys don't get festive because they're very busy during the holidays

Which tells me that actors and the crew who aren't writers and main show runners, don't always have all the info and don't always know the direction the show would have gone in

So if you heard something you didn't like during cameo week, you can definitely just choose to ignore it and continue on as before

Yes, s2 was supposedly already mostly written before the cancellation, but there still could have been changes in the script, plus it was never meant to end on s2, they wanted more (I saw someone say ideally they'd want 6 seasons, but I haven't confirmed that piece of info)

So take the bits you liked, throw away those you didn't, we only have one season to go off of and the rest doesn't really matter now <3

I wonder if Jensen Ackles has seen the news about Dead Boy Detectives…

He was in Supernatural (for those who don’t know), which also stared Ruth Connell (the Night Nurse), and Richard Speight Jr (director for DBDA Episode 7), along with Steve Yockey (DBDA show runner) who had been a writer for many seasons on SPN.

Jensen has his own production company…

NETFLIX WTF???

They had such a a good show on their hands, better than anything else they've done in a while, and they just drop it? They fumbled SO hard. DBDA means so much to do many people and it did and could make them money and get them viewers. Their are so many extremely talented people Netflix should be so extremely grateful to have in their court, actors, directors, writers, show runners, artists, and fans and they betrayed all of them because of soulless corporate greed. This is a sign we should stop letting our happiness depend on capitalist machines that don't give a fuck about you, only your wallets. We need to fucking raise hell and tell them this is not fucking okay. Its not just about DBDA. Its about the power our capitalist overlords have on us. We need to take that power away.

3, 5, 7, 20 for the dbda ask game!

HELLO hi thank you for asking!!

3. honestly kingham and litty their contribution to the show is far more underappreciated than it should be. love my little sprites who simply insult Everyone <3 also just generally jenny should get more love. just because, yknow! i want to see her interacting with the agency etc more often!

5. i dont know, probably edwin? i prioritise my ability to be smart and think above all else, and kind of always felt a weird subtle alienation from my peers growing up? im not always sure i didnt imagine it but i always felt distinctly Separate.

7. OH i have like. 2. firstly i would like to shoutout orbwin and chorb for their existence theyre possibly the best headcanon ive ever seen. the second is edwin having chronic pain from his experiences in hell. it absolutely isnt canon because it contradicts the ghost rules, but OH god the idea of the rules of the universe breaking a little bit due to the sheer force of the trauma he went through is absolutely insane. i also keep calling edwin's soul "hellforged" in my head if that is anything as well

20. ohhh i am a sucker for masculinity + Eyeliner and Earring and Jacket so it is absolutely charles for me. i would do Anything for a jacket like that with as many pins. runner up is crystal with her lovely and slightly dingy fits. i absolutely adore the long purple embroidered coat she wears, as well as the patterned skeleton shirt!

thank you so much anon!
