Since we're all on the subject, can I just say that I absolutely despise when Payneland writera just downplay Charles' love for Crystal? Like it's ridiculous. Alright, you don't need to make them keep on dating, but acting like Crystal didn't meant shit its just fucking insane and makes me want to peel my skin off with my teeth.

Why would you even skip literally any scene of the show

People that skip the Cryland scenes are missing out on so much of Charles' kind boy swagger, heart eyes, loving support, and overall character btw

4. Niko Sasaki

5. Jenny The Butcher

WARNING LONG RAMBLING!!

1 - Lemme be superficial first, her looks are simply iconic, i worship her hair and witch-core clothes and the way her powers are potrayed (those white globes, the three eyes, quick flashed) just make me go brwwww. And then there is hee character arc... which is *chef kiss* so, so good: she doesnt know who she is, she thinks people didnt really like her, she is sure her parents are looking for her, her first instict is to be mean, but then for what is she being mean for anyway, so she stops. She drags the boys from Big ol' London all the way to an small town in America just to save a little girl, because she is alone and scared. Her abusive demon ex, even after exorcised, is still haunting her. She offers her life to save an stranger she had just met (an stranger who had been kind, an stranger who had understood her, an stranger who had a place while she didn't). Her abusive demon ex shows that maybe she wasnt a good person after all. She misses her mom. She give away her powers (her strenght, her core) to be free from her abuser. She gets her power back, she buries her abusive demon ex alive in her mind (the place where he had her prisoner) with the help of her FAMILY (she didn't know who she was, she didn't know were she was from now she knows) she wrestles a thousand-year olds witch seconds after gaining her mind power back because she CAN AND SHE WINS. She has her memory back, she was an horrible person, her parents weren't looking for her (she missed her mother) and now she needs to go back home and she needs to make things right. Seriously what's there not love about her? Crystal Palace, please understand, you'll always be famous.

2 - Wait one second *close the door* *inhumans sounds* *open the door* okay now lets start. He is not the brain, he is the brawn, he is the protector. He couldn't protect himself. He died defending a boy he didn't even know, he died because he hated senseless violence, he died by the senseless violence. He fears being a bad person — he think he is a bad person, his father's son. He is terrified, so he'll lie, he'll smile. He was just a boy, he died young, he wanted to grow old, he hates to be dead, but he loves Edwin. He chose Edwin over Heaven — this boy, alone, died young and had been his light during the darkest, final, moment of Charles' life. It was an easy choice. I just really, really love Charles, because of all that, but also because he is charismatic af (all Jayden's hard work) and funny and he foes around with a fucking cricket bar, I should've started with that... he has a cricket bar, your Honour, I rest my case. And and I just love charachters with this """savior complex""", this responsibility of being alright to take care of others, of smile and lighting the mood because no one else will do that.

3 - she's an overworked work and that's my kinda shit. The whole point of her job is to protect and care for the lost children, and being honest to god I know she would shoot a kid right in the head if it meant finish her job and thats so fucked up and hyprocte of her and i just absolutely worship her. Also, her whole life views being changed because of a funny man she met inside of a whale is just--- I think she is underrated, and people are missing her angst potential, but I will not be the one to tell you how to write her because dude my english is going to shit as we speak.

4 - I know this is kinda dissapointing, but my whole reason is that she is Niko. That's it.

5 - She is a dyke running a butch shop, thats actually so cool I could die. On her first appearence I thought she would kill Crystal and the boys (again) and thats how I like my women. Also its really refreshing to seen that there is an adult who cares about these kids... the talks she had with Crystal and Niko, yk, she is so mature and smart and wants to help and she is like so cleary trying not to get attached and failinh tremendously, cmon she saw Crystal going to meet her abusive ex and was like "Nuh uh u aint going alone and I AM TAKING THIS MF CLEVER WITH ME" based af. Local lesbian accidentaly addopts four kids (two of which are dead)

Bonus: okay I feel like I gotta justify myself: I DO NOT HATE EDWIN, okay? I love him, he just didnt make the cut. And about Tragick Mick, cmon he is a goddammned (LITERALLY) seal and runs a funny little shop and saved Niko's life. We love him. We adore him. Tragick Mick may not have the sea, but he has the people!!

The thing I love the most about Cryland: it is tragic and doomed to fail.

The thing I hate the most about Cryland: it is tragic and doomed to fail.

Yall dk know that acknowlegding a characther is a predator/bad person and loving the said characther are not exclusionary things, right?

I understand that this is true but they'll never make me hate him. One of my fave characters fr fr. That's my problematic little wet cat over there. My special little meow meow.

The thing I love the most about Dead Boy Dectetives is that they let their characthers do shit, make mistakes, be cruel, selfish and all of that and they CALL THEM OUT and at the same time DO NOT MAKE THEM MONSTERS.

Like, so many series these days make their characters either perfect or just evil, and not just in a sense of "ow they dont make mistakes", but "yeah they make 'mistake' but they aint wrong lol" which is just fucked. And in DBD, it is like "yes they make mistakes, yes they are wrong, yes theyll learn out of it, yes they still derseved to be loved." LIKE JUST KILL ME OMGGG

You see, Edwin was being jealous and mean for no reason to Crystal and the series could be like "look at this evil gay man >:[" or "poor little things hes just hurt:(" BUT NOO!! They actually showed that he was wrong, and we see Crystal talking back and it is soo YES YES YES PLEASE LET THEM BE FLAWED HUMANS!!!

Also both Edwin and Charles are showed to have some sexist thoughts but the series does not condone this behavior and they learn to be better.

And CRYSTAL, OH MY GOD MY GIRL CRYSTAL!!!! She was a horrible person, she would hurt people just for the fun of it, and yet not even once you saw anyone saying she derseved her shitty abusive demon ex. And the fact that they let their WOC character be MEAN without demonizing her is actually fucking revolutonarie to me cuz black characters are not allowed to be human, just angels or monsters, but here they said fuck it and created our one and only Crystal Palace Surname-Von Hoverkraft!!

Im so happy this is real I might die!!!!!!
