This show has infiltrated my brain send help 🧍. (Also (re)watch it!!! My guess is that we're running out of time for an approval of s2)

Painland Fanart in this trying times :,)

Also, I think one say ''payneland'' on Tumblr ? Idk it's ''painland'' on twitter

“One fell first the other fell harder” doesn’t quite work with Payneland, because I think they both fell first and neither fell hard. They meet at the worst point in their lives— Edwin has spent decades being tortured, he doesn’t remember the last time he knew someone who laughed or smiled at him, and Charles who is dying and has never had someone care for him while he is suffering— and they both fall in love at least 60% of the way that first night. They latch onto each other with desperation until it’s not Edwin and Charles but EdwinandCharles.

So of course they are in love. Neither of them realize it but they fall in love a little bit every day for 35 years. It’s small things (like tandem bicycles and teaching each other how to dance) and big things (solving dangerous cases and saving each other from their own pasts), but it happens slowly and gently.

Until Port Townsend, and suddenly Edwin realizes that he’s been in love this entire time. But he doesn’t fall in love then, thats the thing, he’s been in love for decades. And no one in their right mind can argue Charles doesn’t love Edwin just as much, but to me there isn’t gonna be some great big “Charles fell harder” moment because he fell a long time ago, and has continued to fall every time he gets that full face grin on Edwin when they’re alone, or when Edwin reads to him during the nights they both wish they could rest like living boys.

So, in conclusion; they both fell at relatively the same time (that is, over and over again, because every time it seems impossible to love him more he saves you with his magic books or he effortlessly proves he’ll knock Hell itself away with his cricket bat) and it wasn’t hard. It wasn’t sudden. It wasn’t quick. It was 35 years of being EdwinandCharles, and maybe the realization hits them both fiercely, but the love has always been there hasn’t it?

oh, won't you kiss me on the mouth and love me like a sailor? [in color]

[bluebugjay]

just noticed when they're intimidating Richie and Edwin's looking all pleased with himself doing the lighter trick, Charles is also smiling so proud like wow look at my best mate being so cool and scary. Then when Richie looks all confused and says nothing, Charles rolls his eyes and immediately just throws him to the floor like, that's what u get if you're not gonna appreciate Edwin's scare tactics enough

Charles Rowland would rock a skirt

Charles hugging Edwin from behind - the improved version. Charles's face was a little light compared to his hand before, so I added another layer of paint just now. I also added a shine to Edwin's fingernails. ^w^ I'll probably update the imprnt and Redbubble uploads later.

love that it’s canon that robin hands over edwin to jack like “babe hold my beer” before starting the bar fight of the century that results in the british magic system being completely reconstructed

Monty eating chicken because he didn't know it was a bird and then crying over the fact he just ate his long lost cousin's legs

[shitpost-factory]

Something something Charles said he felt the kiss with Crystal ‘up here’ in his head but after his hug with Edwin in the last episode he put his hand on his heart because maybe he felt it there

[bluebugjay]

The way Edwin tells The cat King, he and Charles are best friends (if u must know) seems like he takes that title very seriously. It kind of sounded like when you're a kid at school and you upgrade a friend to *.✧best friend ✧.* it doesn't really just mean your favourite friend it's like a whole other honour in itself. And I'm not sure if the term best friend specifically was around when Edwin was alive which makes me think Charles said it first, Charles called Edwin his best friend (probably best mate actually) first and Edwin was like, I will make it my afterlife goal to live up to the responsibility. And he takes so much pride in it you can tell. But also the way The cat King asks if he and Charles are 'special friends' I don't know if Edwin immediately clicks on what he's really asking and is like no it's best friends. I just think, especially for Edwin, it's such a sweet, honest thing to do, just announce that they're best friends like that. I mean he can't even tell Crystal she's his friend, only manages to say he 'values' her and yet he's going about proudly telling strangers he and Charles are besties

is your best friend really your best friend if they don't throw a supernatural molotov cocktail at the demon that tortured you for decades?
