#they're *whispers* gay....

Recently finished watching Dead Boy Detectives for the first time, and it was aaaamazing. I had seen a bunch of posts about it before I started watching, so I knew one of the characters is gay, but I didn't know which one. And so at first I thought it was Charles.

I think the primary reason is probably because, after watching Thai BL, I'm conditioned to see dangling earrings and think, that's a BL boy. So that's my bad. Need to get out of my BL bubble sometimes.

Exhibit #1:

Pretty earring = BL Boy (to me)

But also, Charles is always protecting Edwin.

Exhibit #2:

I know he's the "brawns" but still.

Charles is very touchy with Edwin. Which now I know Edwin is from a different time, so that explains why he doesn't feel free to be touchy with Charles or others. But that didn't stop my initial thoughts of Charles just wanting to always touch Edwin.

Exhibit #3

Edwin basically stays in place here, just pivoting a little, but Charles moves from outside of the box all the way over to be standing right in front of Edwin. Like right in front of him.

I believe Charles touched Edwin here first, before Edwin grabbed his arm.

Charles also likes to sit on the desk close to Edwin, on his side, facing him, all the easier to look at him.

Exhibit #4

He also brings up how Death would split them up, and then smiles when Edwin says he'll never let that happen. (Granted, Edwin's conviction here should've keyed me in on him being the one in love.)

Exhibit #5

Just the whole boxing scene with him dancing around his feelings Edwin and touching him.

Exhibit #6

(Also Edwin's reaction to Charles saying he doesn't like new things 😂 the way he scrunched his face. Like, that's not true. He'd love to try new things with you, Charles.)

This whole thing with touching Edwin's chest and then dancing away.

Some more touching, for good measure.

The way he said harder next time.

And also, just how close they stand to each other for no reason when no one else is around.

Exhibit #7

I also like how close Charles's hands get to Edwin's when they're swinging at his sides. So close! And then back again when the door bell rings. I know his hands are just swinging with movement, but they are swinging very close to Edwin.

What is the reason for standing so close???

can more men these days dress stylish and cool??? istg I've NEVER actaully met a man u a unique personal style, yall all dress like unemployed alcoholics and its revolting, how are u not ashamed to leave the house w the same clothes a depressed reddit mod that lives in his mom's basement wears? Bring back looking like a pirate/wizard on an average Tuesday 🙌

it's not gay to dress well and not wear fabrics that's should be used to wipe ur ass with and won't decompose for 100000 yrs in the sea, men are so pathetic they're afraid of wearing good clothes cuz it's gay? I wish I could burn yall alive and replace u all w them

imagine being scared of a button-up and a couple of accessories...

childe has a gravitational pull specifically for les.bians

how else would you describe his immediate friendship with xinyan and yoimiya? also have you seen how many les.bians like him? he's just prime bestie material for les.bians everywhere

Okay like. I completely get the irritation with seeing TikTok users censoring things like trigger warnings and/or other words in places where they don't need to censored (like Tumblr). But. Like. Idk. Can we maybe like. Not blame them for it lmao???

I kind of feel like it's not the kids' fault that the most popular social media for people their age has trained them to censor every word related to sex, sexuality, gender, mental health, negative emotions, bigotry, pretty much anything that would devalue the app in the eyes of advertisers. Like, I really feel like that is truly not their fault. I kind of feel like it's actually pretty fucked up and sad that they've been taught that. And maybe we can like, I don't know, blame the racist LGBTphobic corporation for that censorship, and, like, I dunno, be nice to the people affected by it lmao

i like when im back home and the waiter is gay and they spend the entire dinner trying to subtly communicate that they're also gay to me without outing either of us. the funniest instance of this was this guy that kept doing this weird winky face kind of thing at me every time he passed our table and i didn't realize he was trying to signal or perhaps flirt until he'd done it maybe six times. Ngl he was so bad at it I thought maybe it was some kind of tic. No judgment though I also don't know how to make subtle facial expressions

a meg & david were being rude to me because I hadn't noticed meg had plot twist and ran to her on the ground. I said I hadn't been paying attention because I play survivor to relax, as I am a killer main. david so kindly told me that I should find "another way to unwind," to which I replied that he should unwind his bowels so that the stick may come out of his rear. meg, as blessedly intelligent as they tend to be, told me to "stop with the hate speech."

there really is no experience quite like solo queue survivor on dead by daylight lmao.
