Okay but can Edwin please get a FUCKING BREAK?

like my boy's been trapped by a sexy cat king, returned to hell, rejected by his crush and tortured by a witch in the span of like a week

thinking ab edwin and niko

thinking ab how niko is probably one of his only friends he’s made in the century he’s lived/not lived.

based on what we see of his life and death, he wasn’t popular. based on his personality he’s quite put together, he’s quiet and he watches. he doesn’t take risks really and that leads me to think he didn’t have any good friends. not until charles.

and of course, charles is his best friend. but for whatever their reasons, they hid stuff about their lives from each other. maybe it’s to keep things light, maybe to keep things professional, whatever. i think them making the dead boy detectives agency is their way of connecting without having to connect so seriously— there’s always work to fall back into. it’s lonely, he had a best friend but still was lonely.

but niko, she doesn’t work with them (not officially). she’s just a girl! she was a victim of the supernatural and lived and can now see them, but she’s just a sweet girl who misses her parents and also, doesn’t have any friends! just like edwin hadn’t. but something about her bluntness being so charming, her love for everything, edwin was drawn to it. and then she plays such a big part in edwin accepting himself, he finally has someone he can talk to about these feelings he’s been repressing for nearly 100 years. they can just sit and watch silly shows and she hold no judgement against him for things he doesn’t know!

idk. just edwin’s reaction to niko in the last episode was so heartbreaking, that’s his friend he just lost. the way he screams and then once he’s free all he can do is stare (he can’t even cry but he wants to so badly). charles has to pull him away because he knows death should be coming soon and like. everything else. but edwin physically doesn’t want to leave her. he knows how it feels to have more than one person to confide in now, someone who wants to embrace him fully as is and can give outside perspective and advice and he can trust and trusts him back. how can one go back to loneliness after knowing what it’s like to love and be loved like that?

You know a gif I haven't seen yet is of the big shaky deep breath Edwin takes before he walks out of the library after talking to Simon. I find that moment so affecting. He could stay and hide but he's still trying to escape and he can't give up, so he gathers in all his bravery, takes a deep breath, and heads out knowing he's almost certainly about to get destroyed by a monster. And he is

So I just finished episode 7 of dead boy detectives and I am lowkey so annoyed like if they weren't gonna make charles have the same feelings for edwin why couldn't they build up more on monty like we could all see that he developed genuine feelings for edwin and they were so cute together even though edwin loved charles I feel like if they had just made monty rebel against ester (and not die in the process) and then become a member of the crew then from that point pair edwin and him for scenes often perhaps edwin could fall for him as well while still loving charles ofc charles/edwin endgame would be awesome but if not than I would have liked them just as much tbh

redraw of the cutest panel to ever exist:

[tragedy-machine]

After Edwin's confession Charles tries to figure out his feelings and in the process starts to unconsciously treat Edwin a little differently, and he doesn't even notice the change because it just feels so right to him.

He was already protective before, but now it kicks up to a whole other level. He volunteers to do the most dangerous parts of cases with Crystal, starts opening the door for Edwin and often when he goes to grab the other ghost to move him, instead of going for his arm, he goes for his waist, his touch extra gentle (and perhaps lingering).

Edwin overanalyzes the shit out of this and thinks that somehow after Hell Charles thinks of him as weak. He keeps catching Charles constantly glancing at him, as if making sure Edwin's still there and still okay. He nearly pulls something, rushing to pick Edwin up when the older ghost falls over after a particularly complicated mirror travel.

Edwin finally gets fed up after his friend's yet another unnecessary and dangerous move to protect him during a case and confronts Charles about it and poor, mortified Charles (after finally coming to the realization that he's definitely in love with his best mate) has to set the record straight:

"I'm not treating you like someone weak, I'm treating you like someone I fancy"
