thought i’d share this goofy little series i did a few weeks ago of if the characters from Dead Boy Detectives were 2D animated 🤣🤣

(they’re not the best ik, but i was trying something new ahah)

[rooksilver]

so youre telling me. theres an adaptation of orpheus and eurydice. where eurydice was falling out of love with orpheus before her death but didnt know how to tell him, and when he walks into the underworld to get her back, shes forced to confess that she planned to leave him?? and shes the one to ask him to look back, but he doesn’t want to, because he knows she isn’t coming with him??? youre telling me that when he finally looks back, he does lose her, but only because he’s letting go??? you’re telling me its about grief? about drifting apart?? about moving on??? about love, and how its messy, and how sometimes it just doesn’t work out even if you go to hell and back for it, because we’re human and thats our tragedy????

you’re telling me netflix CANCELLED it?

DBDA FANS & QUEER SHOW CRUSADERS!

Recently, We've all been crushed by the horrible news of 'Dead Boy Detective Agency's Cancellation, and rightfully so! In the server I host, we've come up with a plan to figure out our next steps moving forward and to see if we have a real chance at campaigning for the show! At the moment, we're going to be selecting a user as a representative to reach out to Beth & Steve and ask if there's a real chance for us to be able to campaign or if hope is lost. We'll be sharing the link to the tweet here and in other DBDA servers so we can get it boosted as much as possible. Its the hopes that the retweets and @'s will gain their attention and we can have our questions answered. If our response is silence, we'll be going with plan B which includes having a mass group of people send the same message in hopes that it'll break through some of the noise!

We'd like to add that if this DOES work and we're told that we have a chance at successfully campaigning for DBDA; there will likely be fundraising and other events involved. Please stay tuned for my reblog of this post (which i'll pin to my blog) of the link to the tweet so you can aid us in this effort and join our fight to save this show!

-And a healthy reminder for everyone's sanity; there may *not* be a chance at being able to campaign for the show but this is our first step in finding out!

Remember to keep tagging with #save dead boy detectives

P.S. Even if we don’t get all that we hope for; this fandom has created such a warm and fun community with so many amazing creatives and we hope that you all will continue to create and inspire each other with your beautiful works and events!💜

A call for attention!!

Guys, the numbers for "Dead Boy Detectives" are bad, which puts us in the threat of cancelation.

This is a show with primarily non-white cast, of various identities with explicitly queer storylines. No queerbaiting or "maybe we can hc them as x or y". Real stories.

It's a fun show, too, to say the least. I know it is discouraging to keep talking about numbers, but the reality is that we need them.

Binge the show, tell your friends, tell your family, play it in the background as noise, let's rack up those numbers.

We and every queer kid after us deserve to see stories about them told in the most fantastical, spooky setting.

It would also be a wonderful plus to see Desire and the Cat King together, would it not?

+ look at them. Why would you disappoint them?

Get on the case!

You know all the marketing Dead Boy Detectives didn't get? We're changing that, starting now.

If you love this show and want more people to find out about it, please follow and engage with these fresh new accounts:

TikTok

Youtube

Instagram

And yours truly, this Tumblr, of course!

There will be videos targetting different audiences, crossover with other series, fun bits, spooky bits, and more.

We need the fandom for the initial push, so please don't forget to comment and like, but don't talk about the cancelation. That is not the point. People should feel inspired to watch without being discouraged immediately!

We'll also need suggestions and ideas, and all the help we can get. If you are an editor or designer, or have digital marketing knowledge you can share, drop us an ask or reach us on watchthedeadboys@gmail.com

This is just the beginning. ;)

Shout-out to the writers who know stats and looked at an 8 kid family and went "2 of them are gay"

Sometimes I genuinely forget that Alucard, Trevor and Sypha are in fact not a canon throuple and it is so crazy LIKE HOW ARE THEY NOT

Why you should watch KAOS (2024) on Neftlix:

- Jeff Goldblum as Zeus

- A disabled actor plays a disabled character (Mat Fraser)

- A trans actor plays a trans character (I won't say which one since it's kind of a spoiler)

- Set in modern times, uses characters from old myths but isn't a simple retelling; it's a whole new story

- All your favs are there (Prometheus, Daedalus, Persephone, Dionysus, Cassandra, Medusa, Charon, Ariadne, the Fates, the Furies, just to name a few)

- Speaking of Persephone, she and Hades are actually in love (the version of the myth which I know much of you love)

- Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss Hera (as in, she literally does all those things)

- The gods' actors' ages actually make sense, they didn't cast solely young people or make young people look older; you've got Zeus (72), Hera (63), Hades (61), Persephone (56), Poseidon (56), Dionysus (27), you get the idea

- Killer soundtrack

- Actual realistic queer characters/representation in a natural, unforced way

- Enjoyable story and comedic but also has depth (I binge-watched it in a day)

- Not a huge commitment (8 episodes of about 50 minutes each)

- Have you ever thought "What would the Ancient Greek gods be doing in modern times?" This show answers that question!

- It wasn't renewed for a second season due to viewership, so if the views explode, maybe they'll renew it and I can find out what happens next (I know it's not likely, but I can dream; besides, if just one person watches and enjoys it, then this post will have been worth it)

Fuck you

*ungays your favourite book and one of the greatest works of classic queer litterature by making two characters that have homoerotic tension so thick you could cut it with a knife SIBLINGS*

[supermentaleyeliner]

i'm serious alright. all the umbrella academy refugees will be taken in by KAOS. go watch it. if you're a hardcore fan like me you will weep and your heart will ache but i guarantee you it will cure you. go. TRUST ME. the soundtrack, the vibe, the characters. it's almost ironic they gave us... that for season 4 and then gave us this. it might as well be as if they gave us such a finale for season 4 just to give us this. just. go.

Do you see the vision

[le-panda-chocovore]

I've read that post that said "The funniest thing about Good Omens is that the Enemies to Friends last 2 minutes and the Friends to Lovers was 6000years." which is true. But, what is even more funny is that in The Sandman it's the opposite : the Enemies to Friends was almost 700y and the Friends to Lovers last no more than 1 week in most fanfiction.
