I feel like we all moved on far too quickly from how absolutely unhinged it is for Edwin to say this line

like, my boy what do you mean he just enjoys ghosts?

+ the delivery from George is just iconic!

[shipspainfulships]

Charles' Dad: You're not good enough for my son.

Edwin: You're not good enough for your son.

Charles' dad: Excuse me!?

Edwin: You heard me.

"I'll jot that down in my journal of opinions I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT!" is one of the lines that go the hardest in the show

I want what they have

[edwinisms]

i get such a sense of primal envy when looking at edwin’s clothes up close because god you can just tell his coat is real wool and made to last and not cheap flimsy mass produced garbage and auggagghhhh that was just STANDARD in his time. by no means am i saying i was #borninthewronggeneration because i like having vaccines and household appliances but. man. to have a personally-tailored coat like that that’d last for years and years……. and fabrics of fine thread-dense quality………. if only

there are many stunning lines in Dead Boy Detectives, but I will die on the hill of of the best being

“oOoh you LOVE this, don’t you?”

Like, here king you dropped this 👑 🙇

Iconic scene

The way Edwin rolls his eyes :

[comicake]

I need to know if Cat King exists in the comics or the writers of the show were like what if cats will have a king who’s just a horny guy in a skirt and a fur coat and he will give Edwin a gay panic

ao3 icon gifs: edwin and charles

for ao3 icon gifs that are of other dbda characters, see here

About a month ago I discovered that you can have gifs as your Ao3 icon and so obviously I’ve had one since then. It’s a bit of an acquired look but I’ve come to enjoy it and have been wanting to make a collection of icons for anyone to use.

I went through my most popular posts, as well as some of my favorite gifsets and spent some time resizing, optimizing, and for some, adjusting the colors a bit, to make sure they fit in the super small file limits for Ao3 icons (under 500kb), and still look okay.

There’s about 50, and most of these are 120px squares, which is a bit bigger than the 100px square that Ao3 recommends. I mostly did this because Ao3 makes your icon bigger in the comment section and on your profile, so it's nice if it’s a bit larger than 100px. That being said, they will not look very good in this post. They are itty, bitty gifs and as such, they are really pixelated.

To download, I recommend using tumblr desktop, opening the gif in a new tab, and then in the url where it says “.gifv” delete the ‘v’ so that it says “.gif” at the end. Only then can you download the gif properly.

If you’re on the mobile app, tumblr will often compress the gif. I recommend opening the post in your phone browser instead of the app, and then following the same instructions for desktop. This way, you’ll get the best looking file for your icon :)

Love that with the knowledge that the bracelet symbolises Edwin‘s queerness, this moment is basically Monty clocking Edwin immediately and saying you’re hella gay, mate, and I love it

I’m a sucker for little details and Dead Boy Detectives does that SO WELL SJSJ

So without further ado here’s a not-so-comprehensive-or-complete list of my fave little details from the show (and if you haven’t seen it yet. GO GO GO)

1. Edwin and Charles’s movements. The way they mimic each other, tilt their heads at the same angle at the same time, the silent conversations, UGHHH

2. Charles finding Edwin in Hell EXACTLY MIRRORING Edwin finding Charles when he was dying (ie the dying one turned away, wrapped in a blanket with no hope and the saviour standing above them looking like a goddamn angel, holding a lantern)

3. I didn’t count but I bet if I did I would see exactly 147 cats (King included. When I do my rewatch I’ll count for sure)

4. The music choices!!! I knew this show would steal my heart when they played Hang On To Yourself (one of my favourite Bowie songs OF ALL TIME) in the first episode, and I was EVEN MORE SURE when they played Disorder (also one of my fave Joy Division songs)

5. The cat king wearing a skirt :)

6. Any nod to the Sandman honestly I loved that show too I was so hyped when Death and Despair popped up

I’ll def update this list on my rewatch but pls pls reblog with ur own favourite details so I can look for them!!!

I’m new to dead boy detectives but damn Edwin’s got a lot of bitches huh

[paraphwrites]

I've seen your plotideas for the alternate universe 20 seasons worth of episodes and want to join in, if you don't mind.

In season 13 there is a musical episode where everyone gets cursed to sing their entire dialogue, because Charles dropped a cursed music box. None of the characters are happy about it, except Charles and Niko.

At the end of the episode it is revealed that for some reason Niko was never cursed at all, she just joined in because she thought it was fun and she didn't want to miss out.

CORRECT.

the night nurse is SO pissed that she's singing. there's been a plotline for the past ten episodes of jenny getting a new love interest & them having a cute little build up, but jenny is also swept up in the curse & so she ends up serenading her love. at first she's horribly embarrassed but her love interest is enamored and that's how they get together.

monty's caught up in the curse and does a 90s boy band angsty ballad (he is still pining after edwin). it's shot like a 90s music video, of course

the episode pauses for five minutes for the cat king and his other cats do a fully, broadway musical number. it's unclear if they have been impacted by the curse or if this is just what they do with their free time

night nurse is annoyed both because it's incredible impractical and also she's not singing the style of music she wants to. ("if i must sing, i should at least sing music worth listening to, rather than some... punk shit!") charles is a bit jealous of the low notes she can hit tbh
