#edwin payne#dead boy detective spoilers#the dead boy detectives#dead boy detective agency#salomé#based off oscar wilde's work no less#they do tether edwin to his historical context in these ways#i don't believe I'm off the mark#in any case i saw the connection and that's all that matters 😅#right before he finds out simon was also a queer boy too#the despairing and beautifully tragic queerness of the 1910s and 1920s#(i mean 'beautifully tragic' in a fictional sense)#(an aching appeal to be seen as human)
