ive already said but genuinely the cancellation of dead boy detectives makes me feel incredibly distraught, hopeless and frustrated. whats with all the good shows with representation of minorities getting cancelled early huh? i cant help but think its not just a coincidence that the shows that have a million seasons are heterosexual rubbish. dead boy detectives, even in its short run, has the best representation of queer characters i have ever seen. its everything i have ever wanted as a gay teenage boy. this show very very quickly became my life. i watched the whole thing in just one day. when i caught my dad watching it i got so incredibly happy. i hadnt mentioned it to him before but he was watching it and i told him how much i love it and was getting my best friends to watch it. at some point im gonna watch it with my boyfriend and im so excited. i dont care if ive watched it once, twice, more times i'll watch it again.

personally I signed it because I hate when NETFLIX cancels good shows with amazing queer rep just because it didn't get stranger things levels of success within the first months/weeks

how i feel about @netflix until they bring back dead boy detectives

(@netflix that’s a threat)

[dead-boyfriend-detectives]

this is so stupid typical of Netflix and i’m SO ANGRY

That show was AMAZING it did excellently with reviews, streamed relatively well, and was overall a success

but they tossed it the fucking trash because of greed or stupid fucking gaimen or whatever

Guys im NOT taking this shit i know it never works, but let’s get petitions, online protests, and everything else going

let’s fight it and see where it goes

PLEASE DO THIS!

Just a reminder that 'Request a Title On Netflix' still exists.....so maybe go ask for Dead Boy Detectives season 2 three times

(I don't tend to ask people to reblog things, but please reblog this instead of liking it. please SPREAD this knowledge. we want them to be bombarded by requests, and that only happens if people know this link exists. It worked for the Sense8 finale, we need it to work now)

i miss my dead boy detectives

[ace-and-the-rpg-horrors]

the difference between how Edwin treats Crystal and how Edwin treats Niko will never not be funny to me. he has a CLEAR favourite girl bestie and he has NO shame about it

i love dbda but i also love fashion history so i was very triggered when edwin said emma died in the late 1800s when she very clearly died in the mid 1800s

i would say the 1850s but the latest she could’ve died was in the 1860s

i used this as the reference because you can’t see her full outfit in the show. it’s not very historically accurate but it is clearly 1850s

just look at how similar they are. you cannot tell me she isn’t from the 1850s which classifies as mid 1800s not late 1800s edwin

we can do this

This is about a show that was saved by Netflix a few years ago. This is the article about it (I recommend it!)

So, about the viewing.

We're already doing good, the show went back to top 20 and now 30 according to televisionstats, but we need new viewers. The thing we've been doing until now, but more.

What do we think about actually doing a marketing effort? As in, with ads and everything? Mostly online probably, but with fundraising either way. The billboard thing seems nice but not just that.

I'm not from the US or UK so this is an idea that I could help plan only to an extent. But I'm really wondering, because as a group we may be able to do the marketing Netflix didn't. Not just as in "save the show' but "WATCH the show"!

I'm thinking artists and editors to make the content, someone with performance knowledge to make the campaigns, and targetting audiences across platforms — YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Is this something?

I know we all think the Night Nurse is like the "villain" of the story for trying to break our boys up but listen, girl was just trying to do her job. She's probably the most relatable character to us living under the heel of Capitalism, going about our day, working our little 9 to 5's. To her, Charles and Edwin are the equivalent of an annoying customer you have to deal with, lest you get fired. I'd be pissed if I was her too.
