not to be really autistic about the victorian and edwardian eras but every time edwin is referred to as victorian a small part of me dies
#was he technically born in the victorian era if we assume he was also 16 when he died and was therefore born in 1900? yes#BUT the victorian era ended in january 1901#the boy was alive for a maximum of 12 months of the victorian era#he doesn’t remember a single thing of that time#he grew up in the edwardian era (which was 1901 to 1910)#he’s edwardian >:(#plus his death flashback literally opens with ‘edwardian london’ come on#dead boy detectives#edwin paine#the sandman
