this is what i imagine edwin’s dad looks like sometimes

trying to describe poirot to my friend at trivia night: "if youve seen a detective who looks like this, thats him"

[tragedy-machine]

so this was Edwin's "I'm gonna fuck this man" smirk, huh

edwin in hell:

[fairandfatalasfair]

I don't think Edwin particularly likes his own cold, self-interested analysis or his quick temper or his venomous tongue. I think he's accepted them as faults that he probably won't be able to change, but I don't think he's proud of them.

He tells the Cat King that he's ashamed of wanting to make a case for his innocence, to protect himself in the process of helping others, as though that would undo the good he does. He immediately calls himself out on his own vindictiveness when Despair tells him he was about to gloat over Simon's suffering.

I don't think he's particularly beating himself up for those things, but I do think he thinks of himself as selfish, and possibly cruel, and Charles as the opposite of those things.

Charles is the one who helps Edwin, and their clients, out of the goodness of his heart with no hope of reward. Charles is the one who had the option of heaven and chose Edwin instead. Charles is the one who never has a harsh word to say about anyone. When he says Charles is the best person he knows I think that's part of what he means: that he sees in Charles all the virtues, the kindness and selflessness, that he thinks he lacks.

(Charles, meanwhile, loves Edwin's bitchy side, and I think attached himself to Edwin at least in part because the kindness Edwin showed him in his last hours epitomises the good guy he desperately wants to be. But I don't know if Edwin fully believes that.)

I dunno I just think there's something fascinating in that - in Edwin's ruthlessness in holding himself to these impossible standards, and his view of Charles as someone who meets them.

Dead Girl Detectives; Girl talk ♀️♀️

Relationship lore underneath:

All girls au;

Eden always knew she liked girls growing up, she fell in love with Charli over the years but Charli showed no signs of being interested in women so she repressed her feelings.

Charli then gets a crush on Crystal and has a situationship with her that Eden takes as a sign that maybe Charli just wasn't interested in her personally.

Eden fucks Cat Queen to get out of Port Townsend, but it was a trick and she has to count all the cats anyways since Cat Queen doesn't want to let such a good top go easily.

Eden and Niko kiss on the mouth a few times because Niko wants to experience irl Yuri and homies help homies.

Cat Queen flirts with Niko and develops a tiny crush on her, Niko thinks the Cat Queen looks like she came right out of a toxic Yuri manga, she can fix her.

Eden falls head over heels when tiny Montie bumps into her at the library, and when she's asked out decides to try and get over her feelings for Charli.

Eden confesses in hell that she used to have feelings for Charli but she wants to move on, when she gets out she makes it official with Montie, now they're girlfriends who kiss a lot.

Tdlr the relationships are;

Eden/Montie

Charli/Crystal

Niko/Cat Queen

In my second cameo I asked George and Jayden to share some fun stories about times with the crew, and use the time to shout out their work. There is so much effort that goes on behind the scenes and like I said in the message, the crew really are the unsung heroes of Dead Boy Detectives.

I also added the following message to my fellow tumblr DBDA fans (sorry that I made them perceive you) :

"Also shout out to the huge Dead Boy Detectives tumblr community! We are sometimes forgotten, but I know everyone there is fighting just as hard for renewal. Thanks for being a chill safe space- You are all amazing!"

me when this is my top two favorite ships (firstprince and payneland)

I mean...🤨❗️

[man-i-love-green]

me, vibrating out of my skin : hey can I talk to you about this piece of media real quick? I pinky promise I'll be So Normal about it, like there's no reason to be concerned that this will turn into a three hour long monologue. Like I Prommy that I'm not gonna be a freak about it.

"this meeting could've been an email" but instead it's "this ship war could've been a threesome"

[tragedy-machine]

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

Coming back to this post with my newly-made gif of the longest lingering longing look

may I present, the difference in how Charles looks at Crystal and how Charles looks at Edwin, in one gif

I rest my case.

[papillon-de-porcelaine]

First meeting.

(You guys should really watch Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix. It's really good (and really queer))
