Charles whose dad smashed his cassette tape with a hammer learns to navigate the backpack cause, like, he needs to be useful, yeah?
and this way Charles has everything Edwin needs, and if Edwin gets sick of him heāll just.. he doesnāt know what heāll do.
but then Edwin gets the record player.
he suggests, tentatively, that Charles might play some of his āqueenā if he liked. after all, if they are to haunt potential realtors away from their new office, they may as well entertain themselves.
so they take turns, switching out; edwin likes opera. he shows Charles how to waltz, chiding Charles to stop looking at his feet til theyāre gliding, whirling around like theyāre in the movies. Edwinās smile is small and pleased and lovely. (Charles attempt to get Edwin to headbang along to queen results in a sort of awkward rhythmic nodding. Charles loves him so much he could die again.)
And, like. Edwin doesnāt like clutter. he doesnāt bother with the random tidbits ghosts give them for solving cases.
until now, apparently.
now he comes back from trading at the goblin market with little useless thingsāa cursed rubix cube, records from bands Charles mentioned years ago.
Charles is so busy trying to subtly read his book on Edwardian courting rituals (disguised by Nikos discreet manga covers) that he doesnāt realize what Edwinās set down in front of him. he stares at Edwinās spiky handwriting, the tidy numbered list.
āI thought, perhaps, that we mightāstart a new tradition.ā
Charles blinks, eyes stinging. āMate, did you.. make me a mixtape?ā
āCrystal assisted me, and while she was absolutely insufferāā Edwin staggers, catching him with a surprised little noise.
āI love you so much,ā Charles says, muffled into his throat. āYouāre my favorite person. I love you so much it hurts, sometimes.ā
āYes,ā Edwin says softly, hands curling around his waist. He takes Charles weight like itās nothing. āI believe I know the feeling.ā
this is a longer fic on ao3 now!

One thing that's confused me since I first watched dbda is why does Charles tell Crystal to meet him upstairs in episode 1? I know the Doylist reason is so that Crystal could see Niko without Charles being there, but what's the Watsonian reasoning? Why could Charles not just walk up the stairs with her?
Anyway my theory is that, like any dead 16 year old with any self respect and no reason to fear fall damage, Charles likes to climb up the outside walls pretending to be spiderman. Just shimmies up whatever drain pipe is convenient.

Ghost Chirps AU Part 5
Part 1 & 2
Part 3
Part 4
***
While āJasonā (i.e. Alfred with an empty jet that Jason will meet up with later in order to āarriveā in Amity) hops a private jet, Red Hood is busy searching the Fenton home from top to bottom.
The local police move slowly, and by the time they arrive Jack and Maddie Fenton are both tied up and disarmed in their living room under heavy guard.
They hadnāt been restrained immediately, Batman talking him into giving them a chance to implicate themselves first.
Hood let him take the lead, but he didnāt even get a chance to ask a question, being cut off at the first indication he might want to talk about their āwork.ā Less than 60 seconds in, and the pair had outright confessed to violating the meta protection acts - and in tedious detail.
The questioning didnāt suffer any from them being tied up.
Far from the mulish silence or crocodile-tear laden denial of most criminals, they instead doubled down, insisting that nothing they had done was illegal, then jumping to the assumption that they were āpossessedā - and boy had it been a nasty surprise when the whole house came alive trying to attack them with a quick verbal command.
Well, trying to attack Hood. And only him, for some reason.
One laser also freed the Fentons, who turned out to have even more weapons built into their suits.Ā
Somehow.Ā
Despite them being skintight.
That had been a pain, but Red Robin was able to hack the system using one of the couplesā own devices while Hood dodged - and kept the stray fire away from the others - leaving everyone else to recapture the pair. A blessedly simple task once they found out the lasers would splash harmlessly off of their armor (save for a gross film of green goop left wherever they grazed).
They take turns knocking each unconscious to change them in order to properly disarm them - Batman and Nightwing taking Jack first, followed by Orphan and Spoiler dealing with Maddie.Ā
The only non-weapon laden clothing they own turns out to be pajamas.Ā
This is around when the police show up, looking hesitant.
They, too, cite the āAnti-Ecto Acts.ā
Oracle had debriefed them on the supposed Acts and āGhost Investigation Wardā on their short drive over. Both were utterly bogus - the Acts had never even been proposed, let alone been approved as law, and the so-called āGIWā had no ties to the government.
The Fentons had been furious and denied the information intensely when told, but the cops mostly just looked relieved.
Apparently thereād been a lot of property damage by the GIW and Fentons both that had supposedly been dismissed under the Acts as ānecessary in the pursuit of ecto-scum.ā
For the Fentons, half of this damage was in the form of broken fire hydrants, cracked sidewalks, and totaled cars - theyād never been good drivers, before, the cops disclosed, but theyād become even more negligent since the ghosts began appearing, to the point they had to have a news segment warning when they would be on the road.
The lack of fatalities thus far had been nothing short of a miracle, they claimed.
āOf course there havenāt been any fatalities!ā Mrs Fenton defends. āOur work is to protect people from those things, not make more! Officers, listen to reason-ā Hood snorts disdainfully -āThe Red Hood is clearly a ghost! All our systems targeted him the moment they came online - and they only target ecto-entities. Heās clearly taken these heroes under his sway - why else would they be working with a murderer!? You have to do something before he starts up his killing here in Amity!ā
The officers look at him a bit hesitantly, but Batman is unmoved and gives the cover story Hood had outlined back in the alley.
Any concerns the locals have are quickly assuaged.
But for the whole explanation, Jason is trying not to shake even as he falls apart in place.
Their little website called them ghost-hunters, making it pretty clear what āecto-entitiesā meant.Ā
Their system supposedly only targets ecto-entities.
The system had only targeted him.
The system only targets ghosts.
Jason had died.
A lot of his family members had died, too, granted.Ā
But Jason was the only one who seemed to come back wrong - anger sticking in his throat and never quite fading, an inclination towards violence even when he wasnāt angry well beyond what heād ever felt before, and a sea of other emotions (that he would never acknowledge aloud) and triggers for those emotions that he always struggled to make heads or tails of.
He doesnāt have the meta gene. He knows that. He knew that.
He just assumed that the test missed it, because he knows he doesnāt know magic - the All Blades being the only exception - and he couldnāt think of another explanation at the time.
But he came back wrong.
And as he stands there, he wonders if he came back at all, mind on Solomon Grundy.
Wonders if he isnāt just some ghost, wandering around possessing his own corpse.
He jolts, as the thought strikes him: what about Danny?
If heās a ghost and chirping is a ghost thing then what about his KID!?
Absently, he notes that Bruce has started interrogating the cops on what they meant by āghost attacks.āĀ
He ignores the discussion, hustling for the door in the kitchen down to the lab.
He slams and locks the door behind him - in Red Robinās face - as he descends, making a b-line for the computer heād seen when the Fentons had dragged them all down there to start bragging about their crimes.
The only thing Oracle could get out of the whole building was things that were openly available online; direct connections were impossible.
Opening up the screen, he gets to cracking.
Going for the surface level files first, it turns out he doesnāt even need so much as a password to find what he wants.
One of the video game sub-files has an unrelated file in it: ghost notes.
There are plenty of other notes, of course, but heād only been skimming to start, looking for anything hidden.
The Fenton parents were too open to bother, of course, with plenty of more obvious files strewn haphazardly across the home screen, but itās always better to check. That there is a hidden file means it was likely made by either Danny or Jazz.
And itās a treasure trove.
Sub-files for rogues, allies, conditional allies, and āhalfasā were what greeted him.
The last being the only term he didnāt recognize, he clicked.
6 files: Clones, Danny, Dani, Dan, Vlad, and Red Hood.
He clicks his own file.
What greets him is a picture of himself 4 days ago, looking just to the left of the lens in an alley that he distinctly remembers searching for the kid in.
Just below is text.
~~~
??? Name: Red Hood
Species: probably a halfa
Status: Nnnneutral? I think? I know, I know, heads in bags. But Valerie tries to kill me all the time! And weāre allies sometimes! Hood- uh- looked for me? Okay I guess I canāt really judge this yet but please read the first met section before you judge please you guys?
First met: Aug 17, 2005, was in Gotham to bother Batman, stopped to think a bit on some fire escape - decide on the first prank yknow - but then my ghost sense went off. It felt like a halfa so I thought āoh cool, must be Daniā so I chirped, but then Red Hood - who was chasing some guy down an alley at the time - froze and looked around. I dropped visibility and chirped again and yeah, he definitely heard it. Humans canāt so heās definitely a halfa - no glow so he canāt be a full ghost and it felt nothing like an overshadowing.Ā
Ended up following Hood around the rest of week - forgot to prank Batman, damn - and playing hide-and-seek with the chirps. It was really funny. But he very obviously doesnāt know heās a halfa. But the guy is, like, scary levels of smart, so Iām sure heāll figure it out on his own now that the chirp thing made it clear that something is up. Hopefully.
I figure I can go back in winter break - he should have it figured out and let his emotions process enough by then to at least hear me out when I explain the AEA and GIW and everything, then it wonāt matter so much if he can, like, track me by voice or something if I talk since weāll have MAD by then.
Despite his reputation, the people living in his haunt seem to love the guy. I can see why. On top of the whole smart heās actually really nice to people heās not shooting in the knees (which only even happened one time in the week I was there? It was actually pretty relaxing - most quiet week Iāve had since the portal opened THANK YOU TUCKER for hacking the portal hatch to be inoperable for a week).Ā
Where was I? Oh yeah, heās actually surprisingly nice to people? So like, I think heāll probably hear me out if I go back and be polite? I hope. Hate to leave the guy in the dark and him end up on the GIWs dissection table for ālots and lots of painful experiments.ā
Not that those guys could even catch the Box Ghost. But uh, Hood doesnāt seem to have powers either? Or if he does he doesnāt know about them I donāt think - he only used the chirp the whole time I was their - not even to cheat with moving around.
Seriously. That guy's acrobatics could make Freakshowās contortionist green - er, red??? - with envy. Actually wait, arenāt contortionists and acrobats different things?
SAM NOTE: help^?
Powers:Ā
?
~~~
Jason leans back, breathing deeply.
āNot a full ghost,ā ānot 'overshadowed'ā - a term that sounds likke some kind of cousin to possesision - ādefinitely a halfa,ā āhumans canāt hear chirps.ā
Halfa.Ā
Half.Ā
Ghost.Ā
Half Ghost.
It should sound absurd - you canāt be half alive and half dead.
But Jason has seen the Lazarus pits, has met Solomon Grundy, has met aliens and bullshit magic and can pull magical swords out of his own damn chest.
Half alive. Half dead.
Hopefully not just a fancy way to say possessing his own corpse.
He doesnāt have time to deal with every file - heāll āconfiscateā one of their USBs with a copy of everything for himself before leaving the rest to Batman & co, of course, minus the halfa files (a small part of him wants to shove his condition in Bruceās face and demand he kill the clown again even though he knows itās a futile hope, but the rest - the same part that snapped and denied and refused to say he was a meta less that a day ago now - cannot stomach the thought of even more rejection. Of a Bruce that believes heās a monster. Of a Bruce that mourns him even while heās right there. Or at least, more than he already does.) - but while the files copy he take the time to look at Dannyās.
The image has two people, Danny Fenton on one side and a version of the kid in a black hazmat suit with white hair, tanned skin, and painfully familiar green eyes. And floating.
~~~
Human Name: Danny Fenton
Ghost Name: Danny Phantom
Species: Halfa (half-human, half ghost)
~~~
Itās the section after that that makes Jasonās breath catch in his throat.
~~~
Death: The Portal Accident
So like, there was no audio (thank GOD I do not want to hear myself screaming) so. Details: When the portal didnāt work when they plugged it in mom and dad left for fudge, Jazz went to try and talk them into a more realistic career choice than ghosts. Sam and Tucker came over and Sam dared me to climb in and check it out - it was broken anyway so no harm. Except it wasnāt broken, just that my parents put the on button inside. Which I caught myself on when I tripped on a wire.
Anyway, electrocution!Ā
(T - Danny for the love of god be more serious, the cheerful tone is creepy)
(D - Hey! Iām the one who died! Shouldnāt I at least get to write my own epitaph)
(S - ā¦Danny this is not an epitaph. You donāt even HAVE a grave)
(D - wow way to rub it in Sam)
(T - yeah Sam)
(S - ugh! Whatever, just stop with the chatting in official files)
(T - āofficialā)
(S - Tucker.)
(T - shutting up now)
Electrocution! I got zapped to death, but the ectoplasm from the portal was also opening up on top of me and a lot got bonded to me I guess (S - probably because of the electricity with how you ended up with some of Vortex' powers for a little while) at the same time said electricity was reviving me? - probably getting my heart beating again or something, I was a little busy screaming to pay attention (T - yeah okay we're going to Nasty Burger after this. And playing Doomed) - not that it wouldāve mattered without the ghostification preventing me from melting me all the way to death.
Status: Me!
Powers:
Chirps! (ghost echolocation of some kind! humans can't hear em - halfas can, of course, in either form)
Form Change (really Sam? This barely counts)
Human form
Ghost form (no need to breathe)
Flight (last clock speed 210mph) (T - and climbing. Dang dude)
Invisibility (S - donāt forget shareable.) (Shareable. sigh)
Intangibility (Shareable)
Ecto Rays (eyes & hands) (T - and butt) (D - dude! Iām deleting that. Tucker why can't I delete it. TUCKER) (T - bow down in awe of my ksill) (S - ksill) (D - ksill) (T - yeah okay itās permanent now) (D - aw man!)
Ghost Sense (S - why do we never test your range?) (D - no need? They always make themselves obvious or are being sneaky specifically to annoy me so *shrug*) (S - I still think we should test it)
Power Absorption (that time with Vortexās weather powers)
Cryokinesis (Wayyyyy to much ice. NOT testing max output on that) (T - yeah frozen city was enough, letās not cause an ice age. Tech needs some cool but too much is still bad and I just upgraded Patricia)
Ghostly Wail (cone of destruction, very exhausting - always at max output. Not to be used)
GHOST FORM ONLY (but really just never)
Cartoon Body (D - what???) (S - Freakshow literally turned you into a puddle and you just turned back and were fine. I donāt know what else to call that) (D - okay fair. but:)
GHOST FORM ONLY
Physical Enhancement (better strength, speed, stamina, durability, reflexes, balance, etc much better than human) (T - why does this look like dnd knockoff stats haha)
GHOST FORM ONLY (S - obviously mr last place in PE)
Resistances (pretty solid on the overshadowing, avoided being taken in by Ember until targeted, didnāt get turned to stone during the Medusa thing) (S - which was pure luck! Be careful!)
Ecto Electricity (ghost stinger, but I really donāt think this counts Sam. I mean I just. Make my ecto zappy. But itās still just ecto) (S - so is your ICE and you donāt just call that "just cold ecto") (D - fine, but it feels overly specific) (S - maybe writing it all down will make you stop. Forgetting. POWERS!) (D - come on Sam that was a lucky hit! I was distracted! And it turned out fine!) (S - Fentonā¦) (D - oop okay doing fire now)
Ecto Fire (made Dashās shoes melty that one time by make the ecto hot) (T - really needs more testing)
Tech possession (chasing Technus into computers, not very tested)
Ghost form only, i guess?
Overshadowing (control people, copy their voice, invade dreams - the control one erases the personās memory so they donāt know they were overshadowed just lost time. I hate Walker. SO much) (T - rip Dannyās reputation, youāll be missed)
Probably ghost form only
Duplication (T - Thatās optimistic) (D - IāM WORKING ON IT OKAY!?) (S - pretty sure it just falls under cartoon body until you can actually separate) (D - :( betrayal)
Probably ghost form only
More? (D - ugh I hope not) (T - hey donāt say that, maybe youāll get a power to make the JL give a crap about Amity) (D - honestly Iām getting pretty close to letting Boxy loose in Gotham) (S - Danny, donāt stoop to their level!) (D - it's only box ghost!) (T - I mean he has a point)
~~~
Jason changes his mind, seeing the commentary, and deletes the entire hidden file from the computer as soon as his copy is made. He can go over everything and bring any important info to Bruce separately, the batās can just chew on the parentsā files for now.
Once the original files are thoroughly and irretrievably removed he pockets his shiny new USB, makes a second one with all the official files, and heads back up and out - carelessly brushing past a thoroughly irate Red Robin with a pair of firemen and broken jaws of life. And not a scratch on the door; impressive - just in time to get Oracleās text that heās got 2 hours and 16 minutes to be at the location on his HUD so he can āarriveā to Amity.
And a fresh set of civilian clothes will be waiting in the plane, Alfred as reliable as ever.
āFiles,ā he says, tossing the safe USB to Batman and interrupting his interrogation of the police officer.
He catches it effortlessly of course, but the officer stops paying attention to him to jolt at Hoodās reappearance - even outside of Gotham his reputation is fierce.
āI sent a copy to myself. Iāll review them and give you an overview, but other than that consider this the end of my involvement in this little shitshow,ā he says, continuing smoothly to the door. āIām heading back to Gotham.ā
Now, he has a little over two hours before Jason Todd needs to arrive in Amity Park. He only needs to lay hands on a laptop that he can isolate from Babsā influence and he should be able to review the Halfa files in full before he "lands" - after he figures out just why the kid has a grudge against the JL.
#The defenses only attacked jason because the others are liminal#But not quite liminal enough for the Fenton House to pick up on#Heās the only one who died and had it really *stick* thus why heās the only halfa#Sure the others died but they were all revived fully#Death left a stain#Not a chain#Jason has one foot in the grave#The others batās just have some graveyard dirt smudged on their pants cuffs#I can keep going with the metaphors#lol#Anyway#Their contamination is. Like. not worse than the average person living on the opposite side of the city as the Fentons#(which is a lot compared to everyone else in the whole world#but not much in terms of āwill the house shoot meā#Fenton ghost detecting devices arenāt that precise yet)#The āfilesā arenāt super professional because like. Theyāre 14.#Itās organized sure but itās not gonna be scientific paper levels (& theyād feel uncomfy making it too scientific sounding)#Thereās powers missing on purpose (not thinking of thing as a power. All 3 forgot about it. Etc)#So why did the JL ignore Amity you ask?#Info blackout#One does not simply ignore the Meta Protection Acts and pretend to be a govāt agency without taking precautions#Everything out of Amity Park is sanitized as hell. (ha#and doesnāt that just fit the GIW clean-obsession)#āBut Mutable!ā I hear you cry āWhat about Undergrowth & Vortex!ā#I donāt remember Undergrowthās radius of effect but Iām saying my AU he was Amity-only and the GIW set up a blockade to intimidate witnesse#Same deal with Pariah town-knapping the place (GIW base was JUST out of the town-knapping radius. Lucky them)#As for Vortex#the storms themselves made it impossible to track anything through normal means#(ie no cams caught Sam & Tuckerās jet taunting Vortex except some people with cells on the street. But wind killed all the audio)#So as far as the world is concerned there was a freak storm and it went away

has shinichi ever been in danger? like has he ever been kidnapped, harmed, or had his life threatened? because obviously š¤š°šÆš¢šÆ has, but what about shinichi?
this line that ran says here implies that he hasn't ever been "in real trouble" before, but if he had been kidnapped or injured, surely she would be aware and not say this?
here conan is entirely caught off guard. clearly he isn't used to being unable to defend himself against a culprit.
if we look through all of shinichi's cases pre-conan, there's only two that could be considered "dangerous"
the first time he meets kaitou kid, he threatens ran and shinichi. obviously WE know that there's no danger, as kid would never hurt innocent people, especially not his own nephew.
the second time is the new york case. shinichi is actively pursuing a serial killer, but here vermouth isn't directly threatening him, she only makes a move to harm ran, not shinichi. and by the time she does point her gun at him, shinichi is confident she won't hurt him.
now if we look at current timeline shinichi
this is the only time (that I can find) where someone puts specifically shinichi in danger, not conan. no one else actively tries to harm him as a high school detective.
now, we don't actually see a lot from shinichi's first childhood, so the evidence is limited. but I don't think he is seriously harmed or threated until conan, there just aren't many opportunities for it to have happened.
while shinichi solves many cases, I think people forget that he mainly works as a š¤š°šÆš“š¶ššµš¢šÆšµ of the police, in which he's called in to cases that the police have already worked on, and in theory is as safe and secure as possible. there's not really room for someone to attack or gain the upper hand against shinichi in these scenarios.
obviously this doesn't account for any cases shinichi ran into on his own, we all know how much of a murder magnet conan is. but the thing is, that's š¤š°šÆš¢šÆ. I don't believe shinichi was a murder magnet at all.
the biggest evidence is in shinichi's first case. it's obvious he and megure don't regularly cross paths at this point, and considering shinichi spends most of his time in megure's district, if he were to run into crime, they should be familiar with each other.
another point: ran isn't used to gruesome crime scenes. in the current time in the series, ran would not be nearly this shocked to see someone beheaded, and that's all happened in just six months. considering how shinichi spends most of his free time with ran, if he attracted crime in his year of being a high school detective, surly she would have been present and had time to get used to murder scenes like this.
the police are always surprised to see shinichi already at a crime scene, and there's no joke about him being a "shinagami." you'd think if shinichi had the same track record as conan for stumbling onto cases, the police would react in a similar way to how they treat kogoro and conan. all of his current day cases the officers show surprise and delight when shinichi shows up, which could be more surprise to see him at all, but the same is true for that first roller coaster murder.
now what megure says here in the aquarium case š¤š°š¶šš„ be interrupted as "of course you're at the crime scene, like always." but I think he means "of course you'd be the only person described as a cocky young fellow."
I really think the very first time shinichi is ever in any danger from his detective work is at the very beginning with gin and vodka. it explains why he's so self assured and cocky, and doesn't have any restraint for running into danger. conan is way more cautious and paranoid than shinichi because he š¬šÆš°šøš“ danger first-hand now. shinichi never had any reason to be worried about his own safety because he's never faced any negative consequences until conan.
#sorry this is such a long post lol#i just see a lot of people in the fandom assume conan and shinichi's luck are the same#and that shinichi was put in danger pre-conan just as much as now#i think part of the point of the series is that conan's form is more vulnerable#and thus he ends up in danger more#which is why he's matured more#and is learning how to ask for help#i dont know if im just pointing out the obvious here or not#also if i missed something pls lmk#dcmk#detective conan#kudou shinichi#edogawa conan#manga#series analysis#sort of

Dead boy detectives got cancelled
I genuinely want to cry over the news, I had hopeā¦ the idea that Iāll never see the boys in any new episode ever again is heartbreakingā¦
But Iāve already seen a few people saying that now, season 2 gets to be whatever we want, that it belongs to the fandom now and I want to thank those people for bringing some positivity into this sad situation.
And I want to thank all of you actively participating in this fandom.
Everyone who writes fanfictions, who created/participated into Painland week, who draws fanart and comics, who makes edits, posts, who interacts in any wayā¦ you are all fantastic and you are a balm on my bleeding heart.
Iām grieving a show and characters that became so important to me in such little time. But I know there are still many wonderful people that love this fandom as much as I do (if not more) and that are there to stay for quite some time, that arenāt abandoning ship because of the cancellation.
Netflix let us down, but Iām glad this show happened even if it died far too quickly, because it meant so much to me and because it gave me this wonderful fandom.
Cry because itās over if you must, I know I will, but also smile because it happened.
#dead boy detectives#dbda#painland#dead boy detective agency#Iām sorry to be so sappy but Iām honestly extremely sad#GOD Iāll miss Jayden and George as Charles and Edwinā¦#but you lot are making it easier#and I truly love this fandom so much#there are such incredible people#some of the nicest Iāve met in fandoms#thank you all

I just want to say that I love Esther Finch and she is a great villain but she is sooooooo sinister. I don't think enough people realize how terrible she truly is beacuse we mostly see her as a somewhat campy villain. Which she is but she is also so much more.
To start with she goes after Becky Aspen, a little black girl, and, well, Becky is a very vulnerable person because of it. The police and even other (white) people will be less likely to look for her because she is black. I wouldn't be surprised that the police did very little to look into her disappearance. And Esther isn't a stupid woman, she most likely went after Becky because she uses the systemic issues in place that make it easier for her to go after vulnerable girls, such as Becky Aspen.
Not to mention that the police wouldn't have gone after her anyways because she is friendly with them and they are friendly with her. She talks to them like a friend and the police treat her like one. And it's easy for Esther to do because she is a wealthy white woman, why would she be the cause of such a horrible tragedy? She is trust worthy and our friend so of course this wealthy white woman is not the kidnapper/killer. Because she is a wealthy white woman.
More under the cut
The police also show their incompetence/bias in the show by dismissing Crystal and Niko during the Lighthouse Leapers, because they are 1) outsiders in this town 2) are renting at Jenny's so they must be poor 3) not at school so they must be high/on drugs and 4) woman of color, while not mentioned, is something that most likely played a factor in the cops decision to not believe them.
The cop also immediately runs into Esther, who further turns the cop against Crystal and Niko. Esther takes advantage of her position in society, especially to those who are beneath her, to have power and control over them.
And the police will not side with her victims because it is her words over theirs and her word carries far more weight than those of her victims.
After all, Esther Finch is such a poor wealthy white woman and she is so sinister because it reflects our reality of how we (western) society view wealthy white woman.
#Noble roars#dead boy detectives#dead boy detective agency#dbda#esther finch#becky aspen#niko sasaki#crystal palace#this show is acab and i stand for it#anyways tldr: esther uses her position as a wealthy white woman over her victims and characters in the show to have power over them#especially poc characters and uses the police against them as well#esther is so sinister is bc she reflects our realty of powerful (white) people will go to insane lengths to keep their power by killing#those that society sees as lesser and plays into those perspectives#also i didn't mention it in the post but the difference between how she ties up edwin and charles is very telling on how she views them#she restricted edwin (understandable considering the device)#but she collard charles like one would do to a dog#she could have hand cuffed him (smart even understandable) but no. she collard him because she sees him as so much lesser than her#after all if he was just a little younger and a girl she would have sacrificed him to her snake because#who would look for a missing brown girl? charles' death is already brushed off i doubt it would have changed if he was a girl/woman instead

Renee could see the pain in his eyes. All the trauma his Dad had caused during his childhood...and she understands Vincent now. It's the fact of not knowing if his Dad is dead or not, what if he comes back and causes more of that pain?
Transcript:
Vincent: Renee I'm sorry about the other day. I just walked off- Renee: Don't worry about it! I shouldn't have asked you such personal things. Vincent: No, I lied to you and you should know the truth.
Renee: The truth? Hey, let's sit down over there. Vincent: [hesitates as he doesn't know how to word it] Ok, technically I've not lost my Dad.
Vincent: Ah fuck! That's not right, I dunno how to say this [the thought of his Dad is making him angry] so my Dad disappeared. He might as well be dead for all I care, he's not been there for me anyway. And when he wasā¦ [clenches fists] but yeah, he went missing. 10 years ago [sighs] same date as the day at the bar.
[Renee recalls Billy closing a missing people case and reaches to comfort Vincent as he talks] Vincent: I don't know what my Dad was up to, he was rarely home. Probably out drinking or cheating, but he always said it was to do with work. All I know is, it's always been me and my Mum.
Vincent: [carrying on] And y'know, your uncle stopped the case saying he's dead. But I think he's alive. Renee: That's why on the first day heā¦I look like Billy [realises] is that why you're taking history with law? Vincent: [clears his throat] Yeah, so I can become a prosecutor to find the truth. And find him.
Renee: Vincent, you really don't look like you want to study that. Vincent: I'm doing this for my Mum. To see if I can find out what happened regardless of him being dead or alive. Trust me I'd be studying something way different if it wasn't for her.

see I need ghost clothes to have properties more or less like regular clothes because wearing someone elseās jacket or shirt is one of the most important expressions of affection in existence and yes basically what Iām saying is i wanna see charles give edwin his jacket for one reason or another and see edwin get all flustered and giddy about it
#the staple of all my high school romances (all like. two or three of them)#but on a more domestic level tooā¦.i love the trope of one partner wearing the otherās ill-fitting t-shirt around the house because#itās comfy and they like feeling embraced in a way by the perosn they love#grahhhhhh Iām weak and cliche i know i know#but yeah the jacket thingā¦ā¦.im imagining like. something happens that leaves edwin hurt and exhausted on the ground and charles rushes over#to check if heās okay and to help him up. and in doing so he drapes his signature jacket over edwinās shoulders#and yeah ghosts canāt get cold. but edwin doesnāt say that out loud because heās too busy being all šš³š. similarly he forgets about being#hurt and can only think about how charlesā jacket feels on him and how everyone can see this mark of affection on him and. and.#yeah#i remember one of my favorite things about (stealing) wearing my ex crushes and boyfriendās jackets was feeling like. everyone can see#that Iām his. and he likes me. and that weāre Something. Iām Special to him#which is so teenager of me but Iām gonna be honest i doubt anythingās changed and Iām almost 24#I just havenāt felt like that in a long time. man i miss that feeling#but yeah edwin. being as jealous as he is and as up front about people knowing that charles comes first and theyāre āBest Friendsā and all#i imagine heād be the type to be a bit (not negatively) possessive and to love that little assertion of. yes. look. Iām his favorite.#we have something special. he loves me. specifically.#same reason i think heād ACT annoyed at getting hickeys he canāt totally hide but really would kind of love the feeling of being marked#like that. itās Evidence. he likes everyone knowing charles is his and vice versa.#I think i broke myself#rambling#payneland#dead boy detectives

I donāt know if this has been asked, but do things like Remnant and Agony exist in the Sleuth Jesters AU? Or is there an equivalent?
If not why doesnāt it exist? (Hope that doesnāt come off as rude Iām genuinely curious!)
Remnant does exist. The concepts would be touched on in a Sleuth Jesters sequel; however, I don't know if I'll ever get to writing it, so I'll explain a little here.
Charlie exits as the puppet in Sleuth Jesters alongside 'natural' animatronics such as Sun, Moon, and Eclipse. Charlie was once a little girl who became an animatronic due to her violent end and proximity to an endoskeleton. Her Remnant continues in the puppet endoskeleton.
In the sequel, the vigilante would face another horror from their past while combating a new and dangerous threatāCircus Baby and her gang called the Funtimes. They, Sun, and Moon would have to figure out the mystery of who Circus Baby is, what she's planning, and what she wants with Y/N (and the detectives.)
The mystery begins when Eclipse's grave is found dug up, and his endoskeleton is missing. Y/N fears that Eclipse is back from the dead to finish what he started, but then Michael goes missing. Charlie flies into the detectives' apartment to confront and blame the vigilante for his disappearance. The plot would move along from there, but the concept of Remnant would be discussed and explored further.
#this is only a smidge of what is happening in the sequel#but it's essential several mysterious going on at once#with missing bodies and people#and of course the detectives and vigilante on the case#it gets personal with exploring the detectives' past as well as Y/N's and their decisions now#sleuth jesters

YES. To the directors cut. Anything. Like, i love your works so whatever u give insight into is fine.
I think i found you with the wont fear love one and fell apart with this part first : And he smiles at Edwin, happy and certain and not at all like someone who is considers this a burden, and Edwin thinks, oh.
But the amount of love that was on the Posession one killed me for good so like HOW? How do you do that??? I dont usually fancy explicit fics but it was just?????? Idk. Anyway i think i ranted about that on the fic comments already but please directors cut (if ur okay with it) jajajjj
Have a nice day and thanks a lot!
Thank you so much!!! ā„ā„ā„ And sorry for the late reply, I didn't want to do this from my phone, sleep-deprived on my holiday š I love talking about them and about writing, so this is lovely and I appreciate it so much ā„
For Won't Fear Love, I kind started with the concept of Charles taking Edwin on dates and I had the misunderstanding in the last chapter planned, because I just thought it would be really cute if Charles had (metaphorically) wined and dined and courted Edwin for months and Edwin still wouldn't understand that they were a couple, because the thought that Charles could love him back would be so monumentous and unthinkably blissful that he wouldn't even entertain it without Charles spelling it out.
And I thought that Charles would probably have the time of his life taking Edwin on dates, planning out all these little things to make Edwin feel special, because I'd imagine that Edwin wouldn't really treat himself to things that often, or that easily. Charles obviously thinks he deserves the world, so I think he'd jump at the chance to show him that. And I truly think it would fit with his character to want to give them a chance and that it would be an adventure for him, something he'd want to work out if he saw a chance that it could.
Charles wants to make Edwin happy all the time; it would make Edwin happy if Charles loved him back. Edwin is the best, the most beautiful person in the world to Charles; if there was another way he could love him, wouldn't that be amazing?
That part you referenced, they had something kind of like that in the show on the rooftop - Charles quite obviously doesn't consider anything about Edwin a burden, including Edwin's love for him. And I do think that Edwin knows that, but I think he could just know it a little bit more still š
For Posession, I've written something vaguely similar for Good Omens, back in the season 1 days - I like writing smut for smut's sake, but touch can also be so much more. Charles is quite obviously a physically affectionate person, so I think not quite being able to touch the person he loves more than anything else would drive him a little bit insane.
He's kissed people before, both when he was alive and then Crystal, but none of them meant what Edwin means to him, so while feeling it up there would be fantastic (and enough with Crystal), I think he'd just be starving for anything more.
He loves Edwin so completely in the show already, I think that if you add a romantic component to that too, he'd just be starving for literally any little bit of Edwin he can have. I don't think he'd ever have enough of him, like, at all. He'd probably be happy just staring at Edwin for a day and a half and then he still wouldn't want to look away.
So, I think if you gave that boy any kind of physical touch, he'd go feral anyway, but the possibility to give Edwin pleasure? Oh. Oh. I think that would drive him insane completely, because doesn't Edwin deserve everything good in the world? Doesn't he deserve to be kissed and touched, especially if he has never experienced that before? And doesn't Charles want to be the person to let Edwin experience all of that?
So he'd just lose himself in that, giving Edwin pleasure and just drinking him in, every little sigh and moan and grasping of his hands, especially because he's not as good with words as Edwin is, so while he knows Edwin knows how much Charles loves him, he could show it like that. Like a completely new love confession in every kiss, every touch, every motion.
Nor sure if that explains anything at all, to be honest, but if you want to know anything else, pleeeeaaaase feel very free to ask!!
#dead boy detectives#dead boy detective agency#charles rowland#edwin payne#payneland#paynland#painland#paineland#honestly people talking to me about my fic makes me so happy and i could do it all day#and i miss having friends to do it with#so yeah please reach out whenever and also if it's about something else them related to just chat about the show!!!
