Dead Girl Detectives; Case discussion ♀️♀️

Eden is definitely looking at the book... definitely....

[trutherofbyler]

Ok ok but you wanna know the real tea?? I've read several beach fics at this point (which are all awesome btw, y'all are amazing writers) and it's a beloved staple to have Edwin be somehwat scandalised at everyone's beach outfits not to mention all flustered from seeing Charles in swim wear. Which is a Good Trope, don't get me wrong, I love that just as much as the next person

HOWEVER

I think actually it's Charles who should be more shooketh about Edwin in his funky lil edwardian two piece!!

Picture this. The year is 1916. You are 16 year old Edwin Payne with a bunch of repressed gay thoughts. Much unpleasantness happens, you die and get dragged to hell, even more unpleasantness happens, 70 years later you finally manage to claw your way up and suddenly women are allowed to vote. There's been not one but two world wars, several countries you grew up reading about in the news don't exist anymore and mini skirts are a thing now.

All I'm saying is, for all the teasing Edwin gets for "What is a handjob?" and "Crystal's internet", this kid was essentially thrust into a scifi world full of weird shit and gets mostly by via an attitude which can only be paraphrases as "fuck it, this might as well be a thing (maybe ask Charles about it later)". King of adaption, master of radical acceptance.

Charles on the other hand, and I say this with only love in my heart, is at his core a boomer. He was there for every tiny gradual shift from '89 to modern day. Sure, he was dead for most of that time, but that's not really relevant. All I'm saying is, seeing the bbc announce marriage equality was probably a bigger shock to Charles than it was to Edwin. That's a guy who already had to accept he will never fully wrap his head around home television.

Also consider the states of undress they've been exposed to seeing the other in. Edwin was stripped to his underwear in hell and still had his knees and elbows covered. And that was probably a more exposing outfit than he'd ever be comfortable with. His usual casual get up features a sweater vest for crying out loud! Meanwhile you have Charles going full 'ceps out in his undershirt first chance he gets. Edwin either got real cool with a lot of shit real fast or he would have combusted several times over those 30 years.

And yes yes, we've all seen Edwin "Haunted By Gay Thoughts" Payne's mental slideshow of abs n hips close ups after getting one (1) glance at the Cat King's stomach. But to his credit, the man was going through a full blown sexuality crisis at that and has since emerged victorious.

So all I'm saying is. Edwin seeing Charles shirtless at the beach? Probably not even the first time this is happening, a lil flustering for sure but just last week he saw two people making out nasty on the tube so hell if he knows. Charles seeing Edwin's kneecaps and upper arms for the first time? Incredible, show stopping, pride and predjudice 2005 hand flex level of suppressed horniness.

Anyway. I'm writing this fic now and none of y'all can stop me.

‘I knew you in another life’

‘You had that same look in your eyes’

‘I love you, don’t act so surprised’

POSSIBLY A SCENE OF THE DAY THAT THEY MET. you're telling me you haven't thought about this every single day since this information was confirmed??!?!??!!!?!?

Every time I see someone online argue that Will is useless/only used as a plot device and is not actually a main character, I feel like a supervillain

Just rubbing my hands together maniacally

"Just wait until S5 comes out and then you'll see. And then YOU WILL ALL SEE"

Hello Byler fandom and Stranger Things fandom at large - I'm reaching out to you in a plea of fandom solidarity! Please help us!!!

I'm writing on behalf of The Dead Boy Detectives fandom who could desperately use your help! Our show was canceled in its first season, cut off without a care for its dedicated fandom or its insane amount of potential. Yet another queer, diverse, supernatural show suffers an unfair fate and we're bloody sick of it! We believe Netflix is making a huge mistake!

Could you guys please sign our petition and help spred it by reblogging?

We're not just trying to get a season 2: we're trying to get justice for the cast, crew, and writers behind this unapologetically queer show. I've been a fan of Stranger Things from the moment it was posted 10 years ago, and I shudder thinking about how it likely would not have gotten a chance to be what it is today if it came out on Netflix in 2024. I believe Dead Boy Detectives is a casualty of its time, that shows like Stranger Things, Buffy, or Supernatural would have the same fate today if held to Netflix's callous and cruel standards and their blatant disregard for creatives.

Thank you in advance to any of you who sign. Netflix has gotten far too comfortable nuking shows, especially those with queer themes and diverse leading chacters, in their prime. If you sign and share our petition in an act of fandom solidarity please know it means the world to our detective agency and we appreciate you so much!!!💀🔎💜

Last thing I promise this post is not intended to clog the tag in any way; I'm a fan of Stranger Things and Byler, too! The Byler fandom specifically is large we care about each other and about queer representation in media, so it felt natural to take a chance and reach out, as a fellow fan, for help. Thank you all again 🖤
