A commission for @i-am-as-normal-as-you-are for their and @technically-human's amazing Reverse Verse AU, where Charles is the Edwardian who went to Hell and Edwin is the brawn from the 1980s! I'm in love with these lads in any universe ♥️

I LITERALLY MESSAGED GARRETT ABOUT THE CANCELLATION BECAUSE I SAW HE FOLLOWED GEORGE ON INSTAGRAM!!! I felt so silly doing so and of course, he never responded lmfao but I sent him the petition anyway!!! I KNEW he would be a fan of Dead Boy Detectives, it's 100% his vibe I am actually SCREAMING right now!

Garrett baby I love this energy now please post the petition on your story!! Someone run and go tell Garrett to post the petition he could weaponize all his fans (who aren't already fans of DBDA, like myself).

Garrett's comment on George's Instagram post today 🥺💜

@dbdpromptober day 5: Magic! AU suggested by @jube514 where the lads' roles are swapped—Charles-the-brains as spellcaster, using quick thinking to get out of trouble, and Edwin-the-brawn who fought his way out of Hell.

Edwin and my take on f!Edwin, to go along with Charles and Charlotte :)

[deadtwinksdetectiveagency]

I have been inspired by all the other wonderful minds doing gender swaps, so here is Charles with my take on f!Charles aka Charlotte. Close-up and headcanons under the cut!

My thoughts on Charlotte/this art:

still a punk, still the brawn

took dance classes until age 11

still called 'Charlie' - spelled Charley in her case - by her "friends" at school

didn't play cricket at school—her dad didn't think girls weren't should play it—but she did play it with other neighborhood kids during summers

more of a movie buff than Charles, with a preference for action movies (see: the nunchucks)

spent more time learning "women's work" like cooking, sewing, etc from her mom (she's passable at sewing on buttons or fixing a ripped seam) (unlike Charles, who really misses food, what Charlotte misses more is the cooking)

still got abused by her dad, but was not beaten as viscerally (more slaps than punches, never pushed down the stairs)

at 11, spent sixteen extremely harrowing days in a youth psychiatric ward for "behavioral difficulties" after a series of tantrums at home, at which point she was pulled from most of her extracurriculars (including dance)

because of extra time spent with her mom, speaks more of her mother's native language than Charles

somehow, and no I don't know how, she saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail (see: the holy hand grenade)
