I want to say that Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency and Dead Boy Detectives are the same show in different fonts but really the fonts arent all that different either

Reasons why YOU should watch Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

What is Dirk Gently? Let’s set the scene. Todd Brotzman, a 33 year old loser with way too many secrets gets fired from his job after discovering a grisly murder scene in the penthouse of a hotel… where everyone was murdered by a hammerhead shark. Upon going home he meets a man breaking into his apartment with a smile on his face. Dirk Gently is a psychic detective here to solve the case, and Todd is going to help whether he likes it or not.

So why should you watch it? Here’s a totally unbiased definitely neutral explanation.

1. It’s Queer!!!!!!! Canonically queer characters (and Dirk… in his own category) play big roles!

2. It makes no sense! Dirk is a psychic detective… who isn’t psychic. Not psychic at all, thank you! Why would you assume that?

3. It crosses genre boundaries! Season one is science fiction and season two is fantasy. And guess what? They go together fabulously!

4. Elijah Wood? Elijah Wood.

5. Hidden not so hidden angst. Ever wonder what being experimented on as a child can do to your psych? Look no further, everyone in this show is traumatized and it is NOT swept aside.

6. The Rowdy Three. There are actually four… no, five. No, six! The Rowdy Three are originally one of 42 government experiments who escaped their captivity, now roaming the streets looking for fear to consume and something to smash. Oh, and they’re allies. Did I mention they’re allies?

7. It’s fun. It’s really fun. Electrified crossbows, flying trains, a purple people eater and a girl in a dog’s body are really just the beginning.

8. It’s sweet. It’s just a sweet show. The relationships built and the actions taken in this show are so, so important to me. The characters (the heroes at least) take responsibility for their actions, accept consequences and try to grow as people. What more can you ask for?

9. It would make me really happy

didn't list characters working for blackwing cause they're already kinda in the villain zone as is but still welcome to choose them

i just think its interesting that most dghda characters (imo) are morally grey as is and through choice could be a good guy or bad guy depending (aka they could get worse or get better)

feel free to explain in the tags (just y'know be civil and don't needlessly start character bashing that's not what this poll is)

She loves watching the way your thighs jiggle as you walk, the way they ripple with every step always without fail has her staring

She loves watching the way your ass bounces as you grumble and struggle with your jeans, the way it's so thick it makes jean hunting hard

She loves the way your stomach folds every time you bend over to grab something, your shirt getting stuck in between the folds until you can straighten it out

She loves when you snuggle and she can use these perfect plump places as the most comfortable pillow known to man

She loves your body in a way that is infeasible to you, she loves all the folds and how much of you there is to hold

The Significance of BlackWing Names

ok just allow me to monologue about the genius of BlackWing’s codenames for their subjects and why the writers are so clever.

Some of them, like Project Lamia or Project Incubus, don’t have too much meaning but sound really cool. But then there’s…

Project Marzanna, Goddess of Death

Bart’s codename in BlackWing is “Marzanna” who is a winter goddess from Slavic mythology seen as a symbol of death and disease.

This is such an impactful choice for Bart, since she is so in sync with the universe as to be almost like a goddess, and is literally a harbinger of death. But she has to learn to see she is more than just that symbol.

Project Icarus, who flew too close to the sun.

Dirk’s codename is an obvious nod to the famous story from Greek Mythology. Icarus tries to escape from the prison he’s been kept in, only to fly too close to the sun the moment he’s escaped, burning his wax wings and dropping himself into the sea below, where he drowns.

Choosing Icarus as a symbol for Dirk is genius. Dirk escaped from his prison (BlackWing) and deals with a lot of fear out in the real world. He loves taking on cases, but he fears hurting people. Particularly in season two, Dirk sees more and more people die, and he blames himself, blames his involvement, blames his strange connection to the universe. And Dirk has to ask himself, should he take cases at all? Is even being here, away from the labyrinth, risking it all? Have I already flown too high?

I also think it’s worth noting that Dirk is a reference to a story about a prisoner’s melting wings, being stopped mid-flight… and the one’s controlling him are black wing.

Maybe Dirk also represents their downfall.

and last but not least…

Project Moloch, a child’s sacrifice

Francis was a child with magical abilities who was kidnapped by BlackWing. This terrified him and sent him into a deep coma, locking himself into the perpetual childhood of Wendimoor, where he remained for the rest of his life. Through his sleep, the years of his childhood slipped by, until they were gone completely, and Francis was an old man near the end of his life.

the name “Moloch” comes from the Bible, the name of a god of child sacrifice.

This is genius for Francis’ character, since he only ever wanted a childhood. It was taken from him - sacrificed to blackwing - but through wendimoor, he got it back.

this was a lot but Dirk Gently is crazy what can I say

I Miss Them ç.ç

[holistictimedrfiter]

I decided to post it here— my old arts with DGHDA. I don’t think I posted here before…and I deleted my twitter a long while ago 🥹

I honestly missed them… a lot! This show was also making me fall in love with time travel kind of… in a funky way and I loved it!<3

Love all these babies 💜

Even made a board 😂…all these memories just came back when I listened to this song… Even it’s been so many years they are still lived inside me like… this show had never gone and was cancelled.

And this one is my most favorite ❤️
