One Thing I Adore About Dead Boy Detectives Is How Brilliant The First Ten Minutes Are. The Pacing Is

Alecto having a Nona-esque personality vs. Alecto essentially being the personified wrath of the earth presented in ye old english are both great interpretations but a combination of both is just supreme.

*Alecto enters battle, sword swinging with unstoppable force*

"Thou art my enemy and I shall destr- HI DOGGY!"

*tosses a frightened cohort soldier away to pet said dog*

“If Aang hadn’t run away Katara would be the avatar” “If Aang hadn’t been frozen in ice Yue would’ve been the avatar” wrong. Aang dies with the rest of the air nomads and the Fire Nation does everything to invade the northern and southern water tribes but has no luck until some 16 years later when Fire Lord Azulon gets jumped by some random swamp girl covered in mud and vines and she proceeds to absolutely whallop him. She is never heard from again by any government entity but the people of the earth kingdom tell stories about the wandering hag who will yell at spirits while eating bugs for years to come. She is then reincarnated as The Boulder

After months and months of Gideon spewing the most bonkers goth pet names at Harrow, Harrow, on her deathbed, pulls out “first flower of my house.” Was she… trying to reciprocate?

Like she literally says earlier on to Gideon, “You’d better stop it with all this twilit princess garbage because I may start to like it.” I can just see the gears turning in her head. “I like it when she calls ME pet names, therefore the best way to show my affection is to also use a fancy epithet for HER” and then she shot right past “goofy teasing” and landed in “irrefutable romance” territory.

i am firmly of the belief that some of the teeth harrow carries around are gideon's btw. that girl is creepy enough to have stolen and kept gideon's baby teeth when they were children, and it's canon that one or two have been knocked out while fighting. harrow is beating the shit out of gideon with her own teeth. she has griddle teeth jewelry. and idk. maybe that's romance.

I hc there's a misconception about Mystery, Inc., and it's that Fred and Velma, being the planners and "braincell holders" of the gang, cannot leave Daphne and Shaggy alone together unattended. In reality, it's actually Daphne and Shaggy that can't leave Fred and Velma unattended. They maximize their troublemaking potential and then go apeshit ham from there.

i’m really hoping people haven’t given up on dead boy detectives because i still have it playing pretty much on repeat on my computer every single day trying to up the views (i just leave it playing as i go about my day) and i certainly can’t do that alone

me: *is left alone for 0.10 seconds*

me: i am… unlovable
