#this is why dbda got cancelled

[paraphwrites]

dbda season 14- episode filmed from the point of view of kingham and litty. they are giving bitchy commentary the whole time. the plot? no one knows because they keep yelling "SHUT THE FUCK UP" and "you're so FUCKING LAME" everytime someone is about to say something important, and whenever something interesting is happening on-screen/action wise, the camera cuts to reaction shots from kingham and litty. it's 40 minutes of unadulterated chaos.

All the times I teared up rewatching DBDA: Episode 1 edition

1. “They will come back, come back again, as long as the red earth rolls.”

2. Crystal being a demon/boys prepping montage (idk why lmao)

3. “The Dead Boy Detectives….. That’s a stupid fucking name.” ❤️😂

4. When Crystal insults Charles’s terrible flirting

5. Edwin and Charles’s first closeted meeting 💕

6. “But just remember, Charles, it’s the Dead Boy Detective Agency, not the Two Dead Boys and One Sad Psychic Girl Detective Agency. That’s a rubbish name.” “They’re both bad names!” “I’ll hit that down in my journal of opinions I do not give a damn about!” (One of my favorite exchanges in the show 😄)

7. “Those girls are staring at me.” “Perhaps it’s your outfit.” 🖕🖕🖕

8. “You were speaking to a demon in the middle of the friendly malt shop.”

9. Edwin’s face when they boys are chanting “Mary Ann” 🤧

10. “Fine, but using magic on a cat means trouble.” 😼

11. “Crystal, that’s everybody. All the time. Everybody’s only thinking about themselves, all the time.” Jenny 😭

12. “Ilikeyourjacket.” 🦄🧚

13. “Charles, is this about to get weird??” 😢❤️

14. “How about we all just take one of those calming breaths, yeah?”

15. Edwin saying “brills”

16. Edwin’s big speech 😢😭 I love him sm

I feel like I need to stop this list at risk of people thinking I’m emotionally unstable (I am, I can’t believe this show got cancelled) but I just love all the perfect little moments from these characters!!

I've mentioned this before, if i exclude the times i rewatched specific scenes and just count the times i watched the entire show the whole way through i watched it 28 times. 28. and they still cancelled it. as many articles have mentioned the reasons behind cancellation are actually unclear. the show stayed in the top 10 most viewed on Netflix for 3 weeks. it peaked at number 2 so one could argue they cancelled it because 3 weeks in the top ten wasn't enough or because they expected it to get to number 1 and it didn't, but looking at other shows that got the same treatment i think none of these things actually matter. i genuinely think @netflix has its own agenda and all shows like dbda will always get cancelled after 1 season. i don't know exactly why this is the case, maybe rewatches don't count as much as we think they do and they value more weather or not new subscriptions will be impacted by the new show in question? idk. feels like they don't give a fuck about the people who already pay for their service. i feel like mass cancelling subscriptions when a show gets cancelled might have more of an impact over their decision then people rewatching the show an infinite number of times. but I don't have a clue how this works so idk. i and many others have cancelled their subscription over this tho. if every show i enjoy gets cancelled after one season then I'm not paying a monthly subscription, i wish i could just buy single shows, at least i'd get what i payed for. instead i pay monthly for dead boy detectives and these assholes give me season 100000th of Riverdale or something, no thank u

Honestly just the fact that ive seen tons of ppl say they watched dbda 5+ times both for enjoyment and to try and prevent cancelation and it GOT CANCELED ANYWAY. DUDE. Convinced Netflix will just cancel anything that doesn't pander to straight people
