Chapters: 4/? Fandom: Dead Boy Detectives (TV), Lockwood & Co. - Jonathan Stroud, Lockwood & Co. (TV) Rating: Mature Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Edwin Paine | Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland, Edwin Paine | Edwin Payne & Crystal Palace & Charles Rowland, Jenny Green & Edwin Paine | Edwin Payne & Crystal Palace & Charles Rowland & Niko Sasaki, Night Nurse & Charles Rowland (DCU), Night Nurse & Edwin Paine | Edwin Payne Characters: Lucy Carlyle, Anthony Lockwood, George Cubbins | George Karim, Edwin Paine | Edwin Payne, Charles Rowland (DCU), Crystal Palace (DCU), Original Characters, Niko Sasaki (mentioned) Additional Tags: Other Additional Tags to Be Added, Case Fic, Ghosts, I don know how to tag this thing, at all, POV Lucy Carlyle, POV Edwin Paine | Edwin Payne, Dead Boy Detectives (TV) Spoilers, post-canon Dead Boy Detectives, Edwin Paine | Edwin Payne Loves Charles Rowland, No beta we die like the ghost population of London Summary:
Lucy Carlyle, George Cubbins and Anthony Lockwood (of the not-really-very esteemed Lockwood and Co ghost-hunting agency) have been called to investigate a house by an overprotective brother/brother-in-law. Rather standard, one would think. Except for the boy who was staring down at Lucy - with his head through the wall. --- Charles Rowland, Edwin Payne and Crystal Palace Surname-Von Hoverkraft (of the carefully hidden Dead Boy Detective Agency) have been asked by a client for help regarding the relocation of her bones before a trio of ghost-hunters show up that night. Easily done. Except now Edwin found himself staring at an Agent with his head poking through a wall, revealing that he is, quite obviously, a ghost.
====
Sooooo, DBD x Lockwood and Co, anyone? Basically, Netflix cancelled two ghost shows. I loved them both.
So I'm writing a crossover, because it's a crime that only one exists (that I can find). If I don't lose motivation and people like it, I might turn this into a little series - I have an entire Google Docs worth of world-building and plot notes to get through and a lot of characters that I reckon would have a grand ol' time together (I say this with both sarcasm and glee).

Netflix, which is full of not having any truly great cult shows in its catalog... Well, stop constantly canceling your shows ? Let them fucking live ! They wasted so many opportunities with 1899 (I'll probably never get over it...), Dark Crystal, Lockwood & Co and many more ! Netflix which is full of the fact that their show don't get many views ? Well if you stopped canceling shows so often, maybe people would take the time to invest their time in what you release, without being afraid that it will be canceled for the umpteenth time for free ?! I'm already freaking out about The Dead Boy Detectives (damn, let Neil Gaiman manage to save the show like with Sandman). Fingers crossed for a miracle of renewal ! Although, as I said before, the show concluded pretty well, but with the very last scene ?! You can't fucking cancel it ! I have to see Niko reunite with his family (and more specifically with Edwin) !

Poster for Dead Boy Detectives, s01
Just finished this eight-episode season, hopefully the first of many, and give it two enthusiastic thumbs up.
It’s a bit “The Sandman meets The X-Files” with a hint of Twin Peaks, veined with humor and humanity. Beautifully cast, great visual flair, the hand of @neil-gaiman, who EP’d—beyond creating the world as comics originally, is very much present in the feel of the show.
Season two soon, please. Let’s hope Netflix does the right thing here coughLockwood & Co.cough.

Btw chat I lied there aren't any big stories coming out soon (I don't have the time to write because school is kicking my ass yet again)
I only habe one more exam though (Monday, Math exam) and then I'll try to get back to writing (technically seen I also have an English exam but cmon. I'm slaying that)
So... wait a tad more for another update (aka either me crying about my exam or me updating about stories)
HOWEVER
What I can say right now;
I'll definitely write more for Dead Boy Detectives, maybe even The Sandman, might get back into Lockwood and Co (Simon try not to be obsessed with small fandoms challenge impossible)
AND I've been thinking of maybe writing Character x Character stuff on a second account, because I definitely want this account to stay free of Character x Character, but some ships are too delicious not to write for!
Anyway that's all for now pookies

Streaming in Kaos
Well, it happened. I can't say that I'm surprised that KAOS has been cancelled by Netflix. I am a little surprised at the speed at which it was axed. Only a month after it aired, and it's already gone.
Tumblr media
That has me wondering if the decision to cancel was made before the show even aired. We have to remember that marketing is the biggest cost after production. If the Netflix brass looked at the show and either decided (through audience testing, AI stuff or just their own biases) that it wasn't going to be a Stranger Things-level hit, they probably chose at that moment to slash its marketing budget.
That meant there was pretty much no way that KAOS was ever going to hit the metrics Netflix required of it to get a season 2.
What makes me so angry about this (other than the survival of a show relying on peoples' biases or AI) is that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you decide before a show is ever going to air that it won't be a success, then it probably won't be. If you rely on metrics and algorithms and AI to analyze art, you will never let something surprise you. You'll never let it grow. You'll never nurture the cult hits of the future or the next franchise.
Tumblr media
Netflix desperately needs people behind the scenes that believe in stories and potential over metrics. Nothing except the same old predictable dreck is ever going to be allowed to survive if you don't believe in the stories you're telling.
The networks and streamers have a huge problem on their hands. They need big hits and to build the franchises of the future to sustain their current model (which is horribly broken.) But people have franchise fatigue and aren't showing up for known IPs like they used to. The fact that Marvel content is definitely not a sure thing anymore is a huge canary in the coal mine for franchise fatigue. People aren't just tired of Marvel, they're tired of the existing worlds both on the big screen and the small one. Audiences are hungry for something new.
Tumblr media
It is telling that the most successful Marvel properties of the last few years have been the ones that do something different. Marvel is smart to finally pull out The X-Men because that is a breath of fresh air and something people are hungry to see more of.
There's pretty much no one behind the scenes (except for maybe AMC building The Immortal Universe) that is committing to really taking the time to build these new worlds. Marvel built the MCU by playing the long game. That paid dividends for a solid decade even if it's dropping off now. That empire was built not with nostalgia for existing IP (don't forget the MCU was built with B and C tier heroes) but with patience. Marvel itself seems to have forgotten this in recent years.
Tumblr media
Aside from that, I think people really want stories that aren't connected to a billion other things. That takes commitment on the part of the audience to follow and to get attached to. People WANT three to five excellent seasons of a show that tells its own story and isn't leaving threads out there for a dozen spinoffs. We're craving tight storytelling.
KAOS could have been that. Dead Boy Detectives could have been that. So could Our Flag Means Death, Lockwood and Co, Shadow and Bone, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Willow, and a dozen other shows with great potential or were excellent out of the gate.
Tumblr media
If you look at past metrics, you only learn what people used to like, not what they want now. People are notoriously bad about articulating what they want, but boy do they know it when they see it. Networks have to go back to having a dozen moderate successes instead of constantly churning through one-season shows that get axed and pissing off the people who did like it in a hamfisted attempt to stumble on the next big thing.
The networks desperately need to go back to believing in their shows. Instead, they keep cutting them off at the knees before they ever get a chance because some algorithm told them the numbers weren't there.

You know what is most frustrating when a show is canceled, beyond the fact that it is an original product which does not adapt a novel or comics on which there is little comfort in order to have the end of the story ?
The simple fact that your ship hasn't even kissed or more, so you'll never see them do it, remaining eternally frustrated.
Isn't it, Anthony & Lucy (Locklyle) from “Lockwood and Co”, Alfonso & Urraca “El Cid” , Osha & Qimir (Oshamir) from “The Acolyte”, Maura & Eyk from “1899”, Riven & Musa (Rivusa) from “Fate : The Winx Saga”, Edwin & Charles from “Dead Boy Detectives”.

Ok, so let's list them, my babies which got cancelled cruelly and often without an explanation, with my random commentary:
The Bastard Son & the Devil Himself (Half Bad) (gif) - witchy, dark, gay, big potential for a natural polycule, excellent chemistry among the main three characters, I am so mad.
Castlevania - need I say anything?
Dead Boy Detectives (gif) - supernatural, horror, funny, gay ARE YOU FKING KIDDING ME YOU CAN'T JUST CANCEL IT WE ONLY JUST GOT IT
Dead End: Paranormal Park - a trans main character? Cute animation? Supernatural stuff? Hello???
Fate: The Winx Saga (gif) - so much fun, great acting, good soundtrack, good plot twists, childhood throwback, I want my Winx back.
First Kill - LESBIAN MAIN CHARACTERS in a classic trope of a monster (vampire) x monster (vampire) hunter forbidden love? The acting, at first, might not have been what I'd call great but I think it was more of the script's fault.
I Am Not Okay with This (gif) - dark, horror, teen, another lesbian main character, cute as hell, cancelled at the worst possible scene.
The Imperfects (gif) - a bit fucked up plot-wise, tbf, but all the more fun for it. Cool twists and abilities. And Rhys Nicholson as Dr. Alex Sarkov is hilarious. Also, a spin on an ace succubus. Lol.
Lockwood & Co. (gif) - the books were the slowest of slow burns and had the least reliable narrator of all time (Luce. I'm looking at you. Anthony Lockwood is also looking at you.) and the TV series chose the protagonists SO WELL 😭 I loved it. I want more. So much more.
Mindhunter - psychology of serial killers, this had SO MUCH potential for a tonne of more content.
Sense8 (gif) - different cultures, action, an evil old white man, explosions, martial arts, gayness, transness, LOVE CONQUERS ALL, BITCHES. Technically, it's finished, but it was rushed.
Shadow & Bone (gif) - wonderful fantasy! Try not to cry, cry a lot.
Spinning Out (gif) - actual believable representation of a mental/neurological illness (bipolar disorder) and stunning figure skating shots?! Cancelling it was a criminal offence
And just because I'm in the wailing part of my evening:
Stargate: Universe (gif) - why yes, cancel it at the biggest cliffhanger ever.
Our Flag Means Death - 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
