ME TOOO!

Charles: I've never smoked marijuana. I ate a brownie once at a party. It was intense. It was kind of indescribable. I felt like I was floating. Turns out there was no pot in the brownie. It was just an insanely good brownie.

charles was a sticker guy believe me

it's (rightfully) well documented that edwin was bullied and then killed (in large part) because he was queer and in his afterlife choses a woman as a disguise, but i haven't seen anyone point out that charles was bullied and then killed (in large part) because he was indian and in his afterlife chose a white guy as a disguise.

Crystal: You don't think I can fight because I'm a woman!

Charles: I don't think you can fight because you're wearing a wedding dress! For what it's worth, I don't think Edwin could fight in that dress either.

Edwin: Perhaps not, but I would be radiant.

the most comphet thing that charles does in episode 5 isn’t even when he’s like “nah they’re just mates” or him projecting onto hunter and brad because they’re manly men and he wants them to be Good Guys bla bla bla none of that.

no, the most comphet thing in this episode is that charles rowland, light of my life, owner of my heart, saw these two scruffy scrappy stinky burly fuckboy jocks and then looked at himself, this genderfuck punk twink with the prettiest most delicate features i’ve ever seen and eyeliner and earrings and bisexual ass jacket, and edwin payne, the most clockable homosexual that has ever lived or died, the quintessential twink, with his stupid little gay bowtie and gloves and fancy jacket and button up shirt and little gay posh voice and the cunty feminine way he walks and gestures and edwardian vocabulary and syntax and everything about him and said, “they’re just like us, right edwin?” babygirl you are so delusional.

rip hunter and brad you would’ve loved being involved in both edwin’s and charles’s hate crimes </3

No thoughts, just Edwin being so used to Charles carrying literally everything for him that he almost looks ofended when Niko doesn't.

Episode 4, season 1

WHAT AN ICONIC MF

Due to me being ill and therefore slightly nocturnal (can't sleep) you guys all get the Esther tournament a lot earlier than planned (had to fill the time somehow and ended up making lots and lots of gifs) 💛 This was initially planned as an Esther vs Jenny tournament, but I realised very quickly that there are simply too many amazing Esther lines and moments, so she gets a tournament all for herself! As always, the other choices will be in the reblogs - let the voting commence!

They were so in love in this scene

[tragedy-machine]

How am I supposed to function now 😭

[shipspainfulships]

OH.

[sylveaugust]

I so love how you described that

I also splooshed out my metaphorical coffee at 'whales to be in' god that phrasing is SO FUNNY

i ship the night nurse and kashi and the night nurse and jenny in a throuple but it's not a throuple or polyamary

the night nurse and jenny are together essentially for the convinience because they figured out instead of both being single moms to 4 unhinged teenagers, they can just be 1 cohesive parenting unit

the night nurse and kashi occasionally have torrent love affairs but he never stays because he has adventures to go on and whales to be in. the night nurse is in love w him but in that way where she wants to see him twice a year

while we're at it the night nurse is also entirely aromantic and feels no romantic attraction to any of them. she's also madly in love w both of them. kashi is also aromantic so he simply vibes w the night nurse and that's why they're together. jenny is a lesbian who got confused the first sentence into this post

[man-i-love-green]

Charles “I think I’d miss kissing… do you miss kissing” Rowland: omg I'm So in a romcom right now, he's totally my knight in shining armor

Edwin Payne: Dear Lord! He's Dying :(

Rest in Peace to the Dead Boy Detectives 💙❤️

dbd headcanon: the boys have a list of office rules written out on a poster sheet hung on the wall. surprisingly enough, the rules were started, and most were created by, charles, but they have to be agreed on by both of the boys before becoming an official office rule (that's rule #4)

the rules date back to the beginning of their old/first office and moved with them to their current office.

dead boy detectives office rule #1 clearly states "edwin cannot suggest charles would be better off moving on" in charles' chicken scratch handwriting.

the rest of the rules are a bit of everything, ranging from "charles must disclose when he's been hit with iron in any form" to "there is no bubblegum incident of 04" and "edwin has to let charles mess with one ouija board per month." there are (currently) 46 office rules.

edwin takes these rules very seriously and will reference them whenever he chooses ("charles you're clearly in violation of rule 29 which states a ban on tommy gottas." "tamagotchis, eds.") but in taking them very seriously and to the book, he realizes he can't enforce them on crystal seeing as she's not a dead boy. he's still working on a solution to that.

but, as of late, charles has a second (secret) rules list, just for crystal. alive girl psychic rule #1 states that she can't inform edwin of this list's existance. rule #2 states that she cant respond to anything edwin says with "kinky"
