A Query of Edith Payne

In the sex-swapped Dead Boy Detectives we get the Dead Girl Detectives Edith Payne and Charlotte Rowland.

Now Edwin was in no uncertain terms bullied and ultimately killed for being a gender non-conforming "Mary Ann". That shaped his character greatly.

Now what if Edith was also bullied or outcast for being gender non-conforming? What if she was the difficult girl who cut her hair short or always broke dress code by wearing trousers (funnily enough that means she could still be styled just like Edwin).

The willful one too interested in the English suffragettes of the early 1900s (they were quite the combative group themselves). She would rebuff the expectation to marry on both the objection to being a man's property, and maybe more secretly to herself because she knows she only has feelings for other young women.

The girl who failed at being a proper young lady, and the boy who failed at being a proper young man.

All of this to say that even though I enjoy seeing a feminine Edith, I think there is great potential in butch Edith. A very handsome lady who was just a bit too ahead of her time, but with a fire inside that even decades in Hell couldn't extinguish.

more dead girls! i was waiting for a chance to draw this image lmao

original:

[tragedy-machine]

College au, set in modern times, where the boys, Crystal, Niko, Monty and CK are playing a drinking game, something with asking questions

Edwin feels out of his depth because he's never played games like these before, so he asks a basic question like "what is your favorite color?"

And Charles, CK and Monty look at Edwin with heart eyes for a moment and then answer in unison:

"Green"

Edwin: *staring at Charles and Crystal's embrace right after he confessed to him*

Niko: *sees Edwin's feeling left out and squeezes the friendship into his lil ghost soul*

Honestly, the ghosts can feel other ghosts theory is very well supported, and I would like to share some proof shown during the season.

In episode 1, Charles clearly felt the other ghost (the WWI soldier, Wilfred) strangling him, he also got his face covered in that black liquid after he took the cursed mask off his face.

If ghosts could be able to play the same rules with other ghosts as they do with the living, Charles could have chosen to simply pass through Wilfred and seize the knife. However, he was unable to do so.

Also, during Episode 3, when that ghost's head exploded, Charles and Edwin were covered with the pieces of his ghostly brain, so I guess, fluids are other things that have their own rules when we talk about ghost-to-ghost interaction.

Sure these are not the prettiest of examples, but they support my point just fine. And I guess, it's good information for when you're writing... All sorts of fanfiction.

i just can't get over how edwin secured the best possible outcome for exerting magic on that cat. he has a gorgeous trickster wrapped around his dainty little finger so badly, the punishment was waltzing through the town, pointing at kitties and going "!" while wearing a fancy golden bracelet? yeah yeah he cannot leave at an unfortunate time, but the boy's been to hell and back and frankly, more dangerous things are waiting for the squad behind the corner. it all appears so lovingly tame in comparison. there are not that many cats around; they travel in perfectly countable twos and threes, practically getting in his way. not to mention the darling boy could have just– get it on and over with from the start. and the offer is still on the table if i understood the vibes?? my takeaway is that you may die repressed but gay thoughts will always catch you and it's all going to be okay

love that within the first two minutes of meeting Monty, Niko immediately infodumped about how she nearly died the day before and then also doxxed herself and her friends to him
