gonna be real, i was not prepared for them to die at the end

Going from finishing They Both Die At the End to listening to TMAGP 30 has not been very good for my psyche. Anyways here's some art of a certain in-story Instagram post from TBDATE

Speedpaint and sketch below the cut:

The First To Die At The End and They Both Die At The End spoilers !!!!

Férnan, man, you had one job /j

No but real talk, I smiled the biggest smile reading this at work today 🫶😭 when ten year old Rufus was revealed to be there, and discovering that Valentino was the reason he got his beloved bike… I’m not crying, you are

mateo to rufus

[radios-silent]

Losing my mind over sad little gays

[can-tthink]

you poor poor soul mateo 😪😪😪

[aidyaiden]

rufus died while listening to the video of mateo singing for him btw if u even care

[thou-shall-fucketh-off]

They didn’t even die together! Rufus grew with the guilt of not saving his family and you give him another person to love and care for so much just to give him the same ending all over again.

They deserved to die together. At least give them that.

I hope Mateo and Rufus see eachother in the after life, whether that be watching each other's lives unfold in their theaters, getting to know eachother more past those 16 and a half hours, or going back in time, making more moments and memories together, or being reincarnated and meeting again, this time much before their end-days.

DUDE

Do you think that Mateo and Rufus from "They Both Die at the End" by Adam Silvera are like the alternate universe version of Edwin and Charles from "Dead Boy Detectives"?????

see ittt see the referencesss

meeting at the last day? check saving each other? check staying till the very end??? check check check in love and it takes them time to realise that? CHECK

Mateo is Edwin and Rufus is Charles YOU CAN NOT TELL ME THERE IS NO RELATION THERE COME ON! "Maybe it’s better to have gotten it right and been happy for one day instead of living a lifetime of wrongs." Who said this? Who??? Was it Charles? It could be Charles, it very easily could be Charles. He could still say it ya know? Since Rufus said it, and Rufus is Charles in the another universe.

Dead Boy Detective Agency is the afterlife of Rufus and Mateo's dreams and you can't tell me otherwise or there isn't any!! "No matter how we choose to live, we both die at the end."

Okay so I finally got my copy of They Both Die at the End with me again. And I-

“Forget that, ‘warning’ is too strong a word since warnings suggest something can be avoided, like a car honking at someone who’s crossing the street when it isn’t their light, giving them the chance to step back;”

like a car honking at someone who’s crossing the street when it isn’t their light

Literally on the first page of the first chapter. Adam Silvera really said ‘lets put as many pieces of foreshadowing in here as possible’ and expected me to be okay with that

[deathcast-offical]

Is there something you hate? In y'all relionthiships? It could be an habit of them or something small, like how your glasses can get in the way of kissing :)

(Orion, Valentino, Rufus and Matteo)

🌈.

Orion: I hate that Valentino always gets up so early. And he’s never quiet about it either. I can always tell when he leaves our cuddling session.

Valentino: Oh really? I can’t have time for the bathroom? Anyway.. I hate that Orion stays up so late after a rough night. Go to sleep!

(The both of them grumbled before completely making out after this.)

Rufus: I recently bought Mateo a little lego set as a date idea. I keep stepping on stupid little lego pieces. I swear I’m gonna.. (incoherent mad mumbling)

Mateo: (glaring) Well, I hate when Rufus just curses out randomly. Sometimes he won’t even tell me why. I’ll have him lying down on my lap and he’ll just say, “Shit!” and not elaborate.

(The both of them glanced at each other and laughed it off right after this.)

[apoll0-gies]

try not to cry CHALLENGE (IMPOSSIBLE) (99.99% OF TBDATE READERS WILL FAIL)

Rufus and Mateo coded

[bored-bookish-ace]

Fuck Adam Silvera, honestly. His books make me so sad but they’re so fucking addictive.

Why did Mateo have to leave their safe little island?

😭😭😭
