Charles' Polo Colors Shift Post / Jayden Revri's Charles Playlist

[fan-a-tink]

every day should be Jayden Revri appreciation day, if you ask me. cue my favourite Charles gifs:

final gif by @mellxncollie

Jayden captured the duality of Charles perfectly: The boy he thinks he needs to be, and the boy he hides deep within himself. The boy who tries "to be extra happy for all of us" and the boy who "couldn't stop my dad from beating the shit out of me, no matter how good I was." The boy who fearlessly protects others, and the boy who couldn't protect himself. And it's all there in his eyes, all the pain and care and love. Jayden understands who Charles is and you can see it in every. single. frame.

Jayden is also the David Tennant of this show for how much the joy of playing Charles radiates from him, and the Michael Sheen of this show for how much he ships payneland. I love how much he loves the show and that he engages with the fandom, reminding us to not lose hope. He is the no.1 fan of the show and we love to see it!

And finally, I need to give a shout out to Jayden's incredible Charles playlist, because so many songs from that playlist have become so dear to me (Francesca, Family Line, Orpheus, Summer Child, The Mates of Soul) and I will forever cherish them not just for the beautiful songs they are but also for the connection to Charles and dead boy detectives. I already know that my wrapped this year will be dominated by them (and Swan Upon Leda, for Edwin) and I wouldn't want it any other way. Having a whole playlist to engage with and to deep dive into Charles' character was incredibly cool and I am so grateful to Jayden for sharing it with us.

Jayden Revri, you are a gem, and we are so so so lucky that you are our Charles forever.

songs i love that jayden revri added to his charles playlist

francesca by hozier, the most payneland song to ever payneland

everywhere by fleetwood mac, i consider this a top tier payneland song like it's just so cute and them. specifically view it as the song's narration coming from charles

the run of family line by conan gray -> matilda by harry styles -> seventeen going under by sam fender is peak charles and it is very special to me. hurts a lot, but is very special

seventeen going under by sam fender, song so reflective of his character they had to add it twice so i am too

endless love by luther vandross & mariah carey, this song is so romantic i'm so upset on jayden's behalf that he never got to act payneland endgame

scrawny by wallows, the image of charles chanting "scrawny motherfucker with a cool hairstyle" to himself as some form of affirmations is making me ctfu. ik that's not really the point of the song but eh. also the final chorus is very payneland to me

honorable mentions: good luck babe by chappell roan, there is a light that never goes out by the smiths, break my stride by matthew wilder, and every michael jackson song cuz i love the imagery of charles dancing around the office to mj cds sue me. the whole playlist is amazing btw everyone should check it out

I feel like not enough people talk about the fact that Jayden Revri's playlist for Charles is over NINE HOURS LONG.

That is truly some unhinged king shit.

[briscoelily]

screaming crying thinking about hozier's like real people do being on jayden's charles playlist... charles' first thought upon learning that ghosts can't feel objects being he'd miss kissing... not being able to feel crystal's kiss... he just wants to kiss like real people do

someone edwin give that boy a kiss he can actually feel t.t

dead boy detectives | like real people do

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

everything I see of Jayden Revri makes it clear that he understood the assignment lol

[plantyboii28]

jayden adding matilda and family line to charles playlist one after the other was my last straw

[edwins-pain]

STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING

Listen to Jayden Revris’ playlist he made for Charles :)

[shaylogic]

UMMMM just noticed Jayden added these three songs next to each other on his playlist

*romantic ("honey honey") about Edwin soulmate running forever together*

*ever since Edwin found me, been lost boys together running from Death*

["I need a man to tell the truth and hold my fucking hand"]

That's my interpretation anyway

[fan-a-tink]

Well, fight or flight, I'd rather die

Than have to cry in front of you

Fight or flight, I'd rather lie

Than tell you I'm in love with you

It's my move, fight or flight

[deceptiveli]

a payneland / painland playlist (still forming) because they’ve been haunting (hah) my mind, i miss them, and n3tflix took them from me

Honestly I thought I was being a bit cheesy with my song choices for my dbda playlists, but I finally listened to Jayden's playlist for Charles, and I was wrong. I didn't even know what cheesy was before listening to that playlist.
