I really enjoy how Edwin subverts the expectations for his character archetype. Usually, if you had a character that was a mousey unpopular teenager who'd gotten bullied to death, they'd be shy and laden with insecurities, easily steamrolled by characters with more force of personality -- but instead, by the time you meet him in the show, Edwin's ego is basically bulletproof.

He is entirely confident in himself, and comfortable being himself, free to be as fussy, effeminate, and old-fashioned as he likes, because the only person whose opinion of him he gives a fuck about is Charles, and Charles thinks everything about Edwin is brilliant and he can do no wrong. Thirty years of Charles's radical acceptance has allowed him not only to be himself, but to be himself fearlessly.

And I think that's beautiful. :)

I love that in most shows the father figure is a random middle aged dude and then in Dead Boy Detectives it’s a goth lesbian butcher

What I do find low key funny is that in most shows/movies, when a character goes through their Traumatic Incident™️, they're almost always very tight lipped and secretive about what happened to them.

However if you speak to Edwin Payne for more than 20 minutes, not only will he tell you that he was in Hell, he'll give you a time scale and recommendations for restaurants there. He's leaving catty reviews on TripAdvisor. He's the Edwardian equivalent of a vlogger who had a bad time at a starbucks and has to make a 40+ minute call out video. Conceptually he should be Broody and Mysterious but he's fundamentally too much of a gay little bitch to keep shit to himself.

Dead Boy Detectives was surprising.

It surprised me when, instead of Crystal dropping in and fracturing Charles and Edwin's thirty years of friendship, they went with Crystal sinking into the fold of Charles and Edwin's friendship and becoming an important and unique addition to the group.

It surprised me when, instead of Gay Boy Pining Over Straight Best Friend, they went with Gay Boy Realises Feelings For Straight Best Friend And Confesses Almost Immediately with a bonus of Straight Boy Accepts Confession With Surprising Grace And Nothing Changes, Not Really.

It surprised me when, instead of making the female characters repetitive and semi-rational and ultimately less powerful, they went with characters who are smart and selfish and kind and cruel and strong and flawed and oh, they happen to be female too.

It surprised me when Charles liking Crystal did not affect one bit of how much he loved Edwin.

It surprised me when Jenny talked about spinsters with cats and Niko did not bat an eye.

It surprised me with Edwin and Niko. It surprised me with, we have forever to figure the rest out. It surprised me with Crystal's kindness, Jenny's empathy, the casual and absolute, the good you do will come back around.

Dead Boy Detectives was surprising. One day, I hope I can sit back and watch another show and none of this has to be surprising anymore.

This show is gold.

To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love.

Charles, you can't just say stuff

He's a 16 year old Edwardian ghost. He's gay. He's oblivious. He's in love with his best friend. He's got internalized homophobia. He's occasionally a woman. He's been dead for 70 years. He's never felt more alive. He is the kindest man you'll ever see. He is destined for hell. He has no rizz. Everyone wants him carnally. Edwin Payne really is THE most character of all time no one is doing it like him

I love this au so much🥹

the way lord huron sings about immortality and reviving the dead is so enamouring to me,,,, the speaker of the man who lives forever refusing to believe he'll ever die when he has so much love and life in him,,, la belle fleur sauvage content to spend the ages enjoying the wind and sun and rain,,, the ecstasy of "i came back from the edge!" i mean, have you HEARD the TRIUMPH of dead man's hand? this entire verse??

this shit makes me want to woop and holler with joy. like YES!!! LOOK DEATH IN THE EYE AND SAY NO! LIVE FOREVER! our lives ARE too short and i would LOVE to step out of my grave and walk into an endless night.

That Rolling Stone article about Chappell Roan... the bits about the shit she went through are already wild, but what really gets me is when the article starts listing. every. single. singer. who reached out to her, worried, to commiserate, to give tips, to agree that the harassment of fame is indeed hell. I'm like. "So y'all agree?? All of y'all agree being famous is horrible???" Good LORD.

Fellow stars have reached out to see if she’s OK. Charli XCX was one of the first to do so (..). Eilish has been keeping tabs on Roan (...). Hayley Williams DM’d her, offering to chat with Roan anytime. Katy Perry told her to never read the comments. Lorde gave her a helpful list of things to do at an airport to fly under the radar. The band Muna hosted her for dinner. Miley Cyrus invited her to a party. Lady Gaga has passed along her phone number (...). Roan went on walks and grabbed coffees with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker. Their boygenius bandmate Phoebe Bridgers came over to Roan’s just to hang, commiserating on how fandom behavior has become increasingly “abusive and violent.” Sabrina Carpenter, who’s also had a shockingly massive year, suggested they meet up and unpack their summers. “We’re both going through something so fucking hard … she just feels like everything is flying, and she’s just barely hanging on,” Roan says. “It was just good to know someone else feels that way.” Backstage at the Vic Theatre in Chicago, Roan flashes her phone to show a lengthy email from Mitski she received that morning. “I just wanted to humbly welcome you to the shittiest exclusive club in the world, the club where strangers think you belong to them and they find and harass your family members,” it reads.

I?? MEAN???

LISTEN

We all have the brainworms here. you've all seen this, BUT HEAR ME OUT

In every single universe Wade and Logan are "best friends" (wtf are those polaroids thats GAY/pos but anyway i digress)

EXCEPT

In 616

And guess what Deadpool did in that fuckin movie. He chose to REFUSE 616, the Sacred Timeline, in order to save 10005. The one his friends are in, the one he brought his Wolverine to.

In conclusion, Hugh and Ryan recreating those polaroids when, gimme

Daisy and Jon are best friends, to me

(original under the cut)

Opeli: King Ezran has sentenced you to death. You'll be hung.

Ethari, from the back: Sorry, but he's already hung.

Runaan: Uncuff me this instant so I can high four my husband.

If Ethari got to meet all of Rayla's friends properly, he'd adopt them all, you cannot convince me otherwise.

Like, dead dad? Adopted

Absent Father? Adopted

Manipulative Father? Adopted

Toxic Parent? Adopted

He'd take one look at Ezran (the boy king with too many responsibilities on his tiny shoulders) and Soren (who's father just neglected him his whole life) and be like "Who? These humans? They're my kids, aren't they beautiful?"

He be collecting all the orphans, even if they're old enough not to be orphans.

Runaan would just be like "sure dear, whatever you say" and be drooling over Ethari, 'cause it's been two to three years and his husband has LONG HAIR.

And if he (Ethari, not Runaan simping over his husband) doesn't, SOMEONE has to, they're all perfectly adoptable and RIGHT THERE.

My love mine all mine by Mistki

this song feels like a moonshadow elf's last prayer, so i made this. yeah, he didn't die, but ethari doesn't know. also, i swear mitski wrote this about them.

EDIT: had to fix a few mistakes lol sorry yall

Consider...

When couples are separated, they often have trouble sleeping due to their partner not being there.

Runaan: Good Moon above darling, you look terrible!

Ethari: I know, ha ha. I haven't had a night of decent rest since you left me.

Runaan: Oh I am so sorry, my love. Here, come lay in bed on my chest for a while.

*The next day*

Random Silvergrove Elf: Wow Ethari, the bags under your eyes are gone!

Ethari, who just slept nineteen straight hours: Husband :)

please i need my family back together
