Can you draw something with Doom Patrol!Edwin and Netflix!Edwin?

Maybe something about Dp!Edwin talking about his feelings for Charles with N!Edwin?

It's just something I've been thinking of, make it a little angsty?<3

Glad you asked

There should be an episode of dead boy detectives about a group of buzzfeed unsolved-style ghost hunters who are coincidentally also calling themselves the dead boy detectives because the first unsolved case they looked into was the deaths/disappearances of several boys at a catholic boarding school called st hilarions

They should also be played by Ty Tennant, Sebastian Croft, and Madalyn Horcher aka the original dbda from doom patrol

doom patrol charles' "a baseball bat 'cause we're in the states" thing is just something that's so funny and adorable and i wish it had made the leap to dead boy detectives

I so desperately want to read modern aus for dbda but there's something about Edwin and Charles individually where their characters and their arcs and their relationship is so intrinsically tied in them a) being dead and b) being out of time. Like Edwin wouldn't be Edwin if it weren't for the particular experiences that come from being born in 1900 and Charles is just an incredibly 80s guy. Like I know the point of fanfiction is to imagine your favorite guys in new situations but with these two I think you end up with either characters who feel slightly off or characters who don't quite fit their setting. And if they were both born in like 2004 or smt then you also lose the whole they would've literally never met if not for tragedy which is one of the most interesting things about them.

Introducing my 381k Payneland fic!

Some of you may have seen my post yesterday about how I wasn't sure on how I should post this monstrosity of a fic but the vast majority of you requested that I post it in chapters! So here's all the information you need to know about it.

When and how will it be posted?

The first chapter will be posted on the 9th of September. There will be 30 chapters in total all stretching out to be between 10-15k each. By this schedule the fic should roughly finish up April of next year! However the full thing is written so I may feel generous and occasionally post twice a week however I'd like to build a community! So I'll be creating a tag for you guys to follow over here where I'll post snippets, extended scenes and scrapped scenes. When the fic ends I also have alternative endings written out that you guys might like! Depending on the popularity of this fic I might end up even creating a discord server, I'm not particularly sure how this fic will do but I'm a huge fan of connecting with my readers, more about a discord server below.

Is the fic titled yet? What's it about?

Yes it is! The fic will be called 'My Godforsaken Loverboy' and it's an AU of Edwin and Charles being dorm mates at St. Hilarions spanning five years. It's very much a slow burn that may drive you insane but I promise I spent forever going through Tumblr hunting down popular head canons and dynamic wishes that seemed popular to throw in this fic so hopefully there's something for everyone! A proper summary will be released soon!

Is this based off the Netflix Series?

Here's where I may lose some people. While it's definitely got plenty of aspects from the Netflix shows (Mostly character wise) I planned the entire fic around the comics and Doom Patrol's season three episode 'Dead Patrol' so the dynamics may be different to what you'll be expecting if you've only watched the Netflix show! I apologise if this throws some people off but I adore them in Doom Patrol dearly.

Now a question for you guys, do we want a discord server?

I'd love a discord server centred around Dead Boy Detectives in general! Where we could share head cannons, fanart, fic recs, ect in more of a discussion way instead of screaming into a void. So here's my idea, I'm more than happy to create an overall Dead Boy Detectives server however it'd just have a channel or two dedicated purely to this fic but I'd have plenty of other channels for different fics as well! I've been on servers like this before and really enjoyed them. Send me a message if you like this idea so I don't lose track of you and if I get enough people I'll make it!

PS. Sorry to those that wanted it posted as a one shot 😔 I decided this seemed the most manageable and reasonable

[localfandomenthusiast]

I just KNOW DP!Charles would be so annoyed DBD!Charles didn't change his cricket bat to a baseball bat when he was in good ol' 'Murica

God, I so need a crossover where the Agencies interact with each others. I feel like they'd absolutely hate each others' guts at first.

Send headcanons y'all

[i-am-insane]

I need somebody to write a fic about all of Dead Boy Detectives season 1, but with Doom Patrol Payneland

Dont get me wrong, I absolutely love George Rexstrew and Jayden Revri as Edwin and Charles, but I just absolutely adore Ty Tennant and Sebastian Croft, and I'm devastated they got recasted.

[theloverislost]

constantly thinking about how the night nurse was portrayed in dead patrol

[lutheban]

i watched "dead patrol" because i was curious as to how this version of the boys was depicted (i love them)

i was NOT expecting to get sucked into watching the whole damn show

[technically-human]

Do you think you can draw fem!Doom patrol Payneland? <3

Since the DBD ones are Charlotte and Edith, these shall be Charlie and Edwina(?)

[zinnie-zoloft]

More appreciation for the doom patrol version of the dead boy detectives please, a bunch of people are getting into the comics because of the show but I haven’t seen dead patrol getting the love it deserves

[shaylogic]

If you don't even watch the Dead Boy Detectives episode of Doom Patrol (S3E3: "Dead Patrol") please at least do yourself the favor of listening to the music they designed for them

[footandantlers]

For my Payneland fic 'My Godforsaken Loverboy' would you guys like updates once a week (Chapters between 10-15k) or updates twice a week (Chapters around 5k). It'll always update on a Monday, it's just a question on if you'd like me to split the chapter up and update every Monday and Thursday or just one long one?

[aweirdofangirl]

I never get obsessed over actors, but Ty Tennant is so good at playing a snarky asshole with deeper issues and I need him in a stable recurring role in a show immediately. He's animated and it's silly and a little too much at times, but that just makes him more entertaining somehow.

If supernatural can have 15 seasons then Dead boy dectives can have two. So watch. Rewatch tell your friends. Watch it through a thousand times. END THE CANCELLATION STREAK
