#bitchy!edwin >>>>

i love bitchy edwin but whats interesting is that in the like two flashbacks we get from him, he's a lot more uncomfortable seeming than he is in canon. living edwin was very quiet and reserved, i think he just got back to earth and decided he's already destined for hell, he has no fucks left to give, why not be a little cunty in the meantime

Charles, you can't just say stuff

I really enjoy how Edwin subverts the expectations for his character archetype. Usually, if you had a character that was a mousey unpopular teenager who'd gotten bullied to death, they'd be shy and laden with insecurities, easily steamrolled by characters with more force of personality -- but instead, by the time you meet him in the show, Edwin's ego is basically bulletproof.

He is entirely confident in himself, and comfortable being himself, free to be as fussy, effeminate, and old-fashioned as he likes, because the only person whose opinion of him he gives a fuck about is Charles, and Charles thinks everything about Edwin is brilliant and he can do no wrong. Thirty years of Charles's radical acceptance has allowed him not only to be himself, but to be himself fearlessly.

And I think that's beautiful. :)

This is one of Edwin's most iconic lines, actually.

and I feel we need to acknowledge it more. his bitchiness is on point, but like *respectfully* - it's just so quintessentially Edwin.

i recognize that simon and edwin meeting and parting in hell is narratively very good and provides closure for all. but imagine if simon had agreed to try and escape with edwin. and charles doesn't have time to really question it, because anybody who likes edwin is aces in his book and it's hell, they need to leave. (edwin, out of courtesy to their third companion, puts his plan to confess on hold until they've escaped.)

suddenly the edwin harem of "supernatural boys who all hate each other but are attracted to that negative rizz" gains another member, and at some point edwin is going to have to mention that simon was the boy who sacrificed him to hell.

the chaos. crystal's bitchy commentary. charles going from friendly smiling to clutching his cricket bat. niko's whispering "200k slow burn schoolboy rivals to lovers" with heart eyes. it'd be chef's kiss good. edwin fleeing to his books and praying that nobody, but especially not the cat king, finds him because there has been SO MUCH emotion already. hysterical.

I want a Dead Boy Detectives rewrite fic, except Edwin and Charles have been dating for about 20 years, but absolutely nobody can tell, and every damn chapter they have to explain that Yes, we are dating, No, this isn't a new thing, catch up.

crystal: *cough* i told you so

edwin: *cough cough* you fucking didn't

George Rexstrew is born to play Edwin Payne

He got the sass

The posture

The brain

(George's resume on LAMDA London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art website)

He even graduated from other college before LAMDA

If George opened a detective agency he could surely be both the "brain" and the "brawn". So Edwin, you gotta keep up

This is such a minor thing that I think the thing that initially devastated me the most about the cancellation (and subsequent reveal that the Principal was Niko) is that we didn't get to see the other character's future

Like we know Niko somehow goes on to basically run the L&F in the future but what about Crystal and the boys

Are Edwin and Charles still running around London perpetually sixteen employed by the L&F? Or did they finally get the shared afterlife they said they would need to have and have moved on at some point

Is Crystal somewhere helping out in the L&F with Niko too maybe putting her psychic abilities to good use helping scared and traumatized kids? Or did she go on to her own afterlife after a nice long (normal-ish) life?

If they are all around, do they still occasionally meet up

After the Principal saved the boys at the end of the season, did she go meet up with the boys again in the future and tell them she just got to save them from being separated or do they just not talk to each other anymore for whatever reason

Some people proposing that Charles knows ghosts can fuck because he himself has had ghost sex but I think it's much more teenage boy coded that out of all of Edwin's books he found one called 'Ghost Biology and Sexuality' or something and thought haha sex and chose that one to read

im rewatching The Good Place and had a dbda crossover thought of:

Oh what if Edwin was like a Janet? lol

and then it developed into more of a-

what if Charles was caught by death and sent into the actual good place but since he refuses to stay without Edwin bc 'is not a worth paradise if i dont have him' they try giving an artificial companion(janet!Edwin) and it works for a while but then they still have to keep rebooting him over and over again to try and stop him from finding the real Edwin
