Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
You know what I wanna see (besides a season 2 renewal. I'm looking at you @netflix) is matchmaker Crystal.
I want so badly for her to be the one to box Charles about the head and be like 'it's called bisexuality sweetie and you are down bad for your bestie.'
A journalist interviews Charles and Edwin, asking how they would feel if Season 2 got cancelled.
aka: the time i got too carried away making incorrect quotes (hence this fic being mostly dialogue), so have this really short ficlet of them!! Also yes, they technically broke the 4th wall during this entire thing.
Edwin and Charles are sitting on chairs, sitting in front of a white backdrop - much like those you see in interviews. Because they were in an interview, and by the looks of it, it was almost about to end.
One of the news reporters have given Charles and Edwin a question: How would they feel if they didn't get renewed for Season 2?
"Nonsense." Edwin reacts almost immediately. "It is imperative that we get renewed for Season 2. I must," he composes himself, "I must hear Charles tell me he loves me."
Charles, next to him, raises an eyebrow, and looks at Edwin with a smile, "Oh, and you're certain about that, yeah?"
"Well, no. But one could infer that-"
A little peck had landed on Edwin's lips.
Charles has just kissed Edwin, and the two boys look at each other. Charles is the first to speak.
"'Cause you're right. I do. I am in love with you."
Edwin just looks at him, stunned. Charles, charming as he is, gives him a topic to go off of.
"But keep going. I love hearing you talk about whatever's on your mind."
Edwin tries to speak, but he cannot seem to focus with what just happened and how casual Charles is treating this situation. All that comes out of his mouth is a series of mumbles and stutters, "I- there is-- I am… speechless."
"Aw," Charles smiles, "luckily, that isn't a problem."
He kisses him again, way more intense than the small peck he gave him earlier. They wrap their hands around each other's head, and continue. For Charles, it felt like a dream come true. He had been waiting to say that for a long time and--
"Right, Charles?" a voice says, interrupting whatever Charles was imagining.
"Huh, yeah, what?"
Turned out it was a dream. A daydream, anyway.
"Clearly, you got distracted again." Edwin gave a sigh - not one of disappointment, though. Maybe Charles was just imagining it, but it sounded like... a sigh of adoration.
"Anyway, I was telling these journalists just now that if our show does not get renewed for another season, then it would be highly devastating - for both us, the agency and the viewers at home."
"Oh," Charles collects himself, "Oh yeah, now you got me. I totally agree."
He looks at the camera. "I think a lot of people are... excited to see where our story leads, especially like- especially considering all the different narratives in store for us."
He ends with a chuckle, and turns to Edwin, smiling. "Also, sorry for zoning out there, mate. Won't happen again. Promise."
"We shall see about that." Edwin said to him with a coy smile, hiding his delight, before turning his attention to the journalists in front of them.
"Would that be all for you lovely people today? Charles and I do still have a lot of work to get done."
"Certainly, Mr. Payne and Mr. Rowland. Thank you for your time."
The news reporter looks through their notes as Charles and Edwin walk out of the set, looking very satisfied with the outcome of the interview.
Well this aren't my personal headcanons but they're one that I adopted.
Well demiromantic Charles, I talked about this before and I think this posts explains it pretty well and I completely support it.
Also using suspenders as a replacement for belts because belts reminds him of his dad.
ADHD Charles! Oh I love this ADHD messy boy and I resonate with him so much.
Also dyslexic Charles!
I think those hcs makes the fact that he and Edwin has their thing where Edwin is reading him stories even cuter.
I totally see how no matter how hard he tried to overcome his disabilities he was never good enough which made his home life more difficult (projecting? Whattt).
Oblivious bisexual Charles rights. Not really a hc but yeah, that boy is dumb he's just completely oblivious in the moment he just never considered that because of the heteronormative society he was raised in, it just never crossed his mind. I'm a full believer he's just slow in understanding stuff and he wants to take things slow with Edwin.
He's screaming bisexual we all in the fandom clocked him right away it's nothing special really. We all know he's bi. That's a bisexual disaster if I have ever seen one. (Emphasis on the disaster).
Also, Charles kept the lantern from when Edwin found him! And that was the lantern he used when he went back to hell. And another detail I didn't see anyone talking about he also kept the book Edwin read to him without he knew. Actually he kept following the next books coming out in this series.
I also love any type of hc that gives him any artistic hobby- artist, dancer, or anything really, any reason that he didn't fit the stereotypical masculine gender roles, and made him even a larger disappointment in his dad's eyes. Anything that made it harder for him. I'm a slut for angst what can I say. (Like I'm a Charles Rowland kinny it's pretty much obvious).
This is pretty much it I think!
Mostly I just love the work the show did with him. I don't feel like large and elaborate headcanons are needed him- the canon is already amazing. I just love some small pieces that gives even more depth to the canon lore.
This show is so good I don't need really big headcanons. I don't think I can top the canon.
I love people sending me asks! Pease send my more if you have any🫶
I know comic Charles gets a crush on like every girl he and Edwin meet, so I imagine early in their cases, Charles experimented with flings with people and figured it out?
Honestly need a flashback in an ep of season 2 where Charles goes on his first Ghost/Human Date
oh charles rowland in this fic specifically. i relate to him so much. this is now my favorite genre of fic: charles rowland doing gay shit and not realizing that its actually really gay to actively want to sleep on the shoulder of your "best mate". charles rowland my #1 bisexual disaster
