Just A Reminder That 'Request A Title On Netflix' Still Exists.....so Maybe Go Ask For Dead Boy Detectives

Charles Rowland and Edwin Payne are so real, I too would've avoided understanding my sexuality or confronting with my trauma for decades.

I have mentioned in my previous post how everyone related to the biological bat family is Jewish, but I need to talk a moment about Damian Wayne's aunts.

Because this boy has 5 Jewish aunts. And not just from Bruce's side.

Let's review them, alright?

1. One of the most famous out of them, Kate Kane aka Batwoman. The Jewish icon and Bruce's cousin. (Once removed or-something still counts!)

2. Beth Kane or Red Alice, Kate's twin. She's his aunt as well, the same as Kate.

3. Bette Kane, aka flamebird, another cousin of Bruce. Also shares the same Jewish blood.

Just wait, now is the more interesting part I've been waiting for:

4. Nyssa Raatco. (Very different from the Arrowverse version).

Talia's older sister. Daughter of Ra's Al Ghul and her Jewish mom. A badass Jewish Arab assassin, and one of my favorite Jewish aunts of Damian.

And the last one might be more controversial, because I know she's *technically* not family but still

Harey Quinn is the 5 Jewish aunt of Damian I'LL DIE DEFENDING IT.

My source?

AUNTIE QUINN!?!!

DC fans don't get mad at me I know Harley is not batfamily I just think she's an aunt figure to Damian. She's not part of the whole batfam, she's his aunt exclusively. She's Damian's fifth Jewish aunt fight me.

Yap I'll see myself out 🚪←🏃

Ngl, I don't know about you but I am still waiting for it all to be just one big joke "hey guys that source wasn't reliable actually, Netflix just announced they are making a season 2!"

Is it healthy thinking? No. Am I currently crying to my pillow just absolutely shocked and I need it to be true? Yes.

OMG I'm so flattered I was tagged! Thank you! I love this sort of stuff!

Last song I listened to: Boys Don't Cry by Oliver Cronin (I listened to it for Charles Rowland inspiration for the fic I'm writing). Also Punching Bag by PALAYE ROYALE (also for Charles inspiration).

Currently watching: Dead Boy Detectives, I'm emotionally incapable of moving on from this crazy good show at the moment. I have waited for it for years and it did not disappoint.

Sweet/Savoury/Spicy? I don't know. I can't handle spice although I like the taste, I really like both sweet and savoury but at the end of the day it's probably sweet for me lol.

Relationship status: single and confused as fuck about who am I attracted to/ how my attraction works (aro ace specs) so there's nothing to even talk about at the moment. Much like Edwin, I have no riz, unlike him, I don't have tons of people attracted to my autistic swag.

Current obsession: Dead Boy Detectives all the way baby. This hyperfixation is going strong. Also DC trans characters (Xanthe Zhou, Jules Jourdain, Galaxy, Aerie, etc. Mostly the Spirit World comic of Xanthe and John Constantine). And a few other vertigo characters (Tefé Holland John Constantine Madame Xanadu Lucifer and etc). Yeah I'm mostly a DC person.

Also Sandman! Specially Delirium. Delirium the love of my life I love her so much and I'm so excited for her to appear. Also Death Destruction and Desire but mostly Delirium (Del my love).

Tbh I don't know enough people to tag 9 or even 5 people I'm way too socially anxious for that, so I'll just tag 2 people that seemed really cool so far I would like to get to know better-

@that-trans-autistic-guy @shaylogic

Sorry if you were already tagged in that. Love your content!

9 people you'd like to get to know better

(but it's five, not nine)

I was tagged by the lovely @frankenstein-ate-my-left-shoe !

Last Song I listened to: Eye of the Night By Conan Gray, i've been obsessively listening to his new album on repeat

Currently Watching: I've been rewatching Dead Boy Detective on Netflix as well as Psych, and the the new Doctor Who because Ncuti Gatwa is a sweetheart.

Sweet/Savoury/Spicy?: Savoury, especially ketchup chips!

Relationship Status: Recently out of a relationship, i feel weirdly good about it.

Current Obsession: Steddie is never leaving my brain (obviously), but Dead Boy Detectives has been a sweet favourite of my mind lately!

The people i'd like to tag have no obligation to answer, just know that i like seeing you all on my dash: @sugarkat , @hexiewrites , @edwins-pain , @sourw0lfs , @little-birch-boy

what they don't tell you about making friends is you gotta be a lil annoying. you gotta push past the fear of "what if they don't want to talk to me" and simply ask someone how their day is going, send a meme. you cannot connect to people if you're both just awkwardly waiting for the other to start.

Sorry if I'm a bit unstable but I am no longer in the "early life and education" section of my future wikipedia page so you can imagine the distress

ATTENTION DEAD BOYS FANDOM:

We have some unfinished business and a case to solve: The Case of the Curious Cancellation! 💀🔎

Here are the ways you can help (be sure to read until the end).

I'm not sure how many people here on Tumblr are also over on DBDA Twitter, but there have been MANY developments in the last 24 hours and it's important for all of us to be on the same page if we're going to have a chance in hell of saving our show.

First and foremost, we need to get Dead Boy Detectives in the Netflix Top 10 again. This means running it as much as possible. Read about that below:

(SOURCE x)

As the graphic says, the goal is to have it running on a loop constantly, as much as you physically can. Be sure to have some level of volume on or else it won't count. If you're on Twitter be sure to post your rewatch (photos of your tv, commentary, etc.) with the hashtag #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives !!!

Also, there's no better time to do this: the Tweet below brings up a great point! 👍

(SOURCE x)

Second, and easiest thing: KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW AND CREATING CONTENT ABOUT THE SHOW. Analysis, fics, fanart, shitposts, gif sets, memes, tik tok videos, so on - do not stop! Reblog other people's stuff and talk about it! Give fics kudos, comment, make fic rec lists and post that WIP or sketch! The most important thing to remember is to TAG YOUR POSTS AND CREATIONS. We need to trend!!! On Tumblr make sure you continue tagging your posts as you probably already are (look at my tags on this post if you need help, and remember not to use "DBD" on here because that is another fandom! We use DBDA here). On Twitter you want to use the hashtag #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives for the rewatch and #SaveDeadBoyDetectives is a popular one, too. You can also use #DeadBoyDetectives. Hell, I usually use all three if I can! Hashtag every post you make about Dead Boys, no matter how annoying or "cringe" you may feel. Flood the fucking tag and do not stop.

Third, everyone needs to sign and keep circulating the petition. We've surpassed 5,000 signatures in a day which is fantastic, but we need more. Get everyone you know to sign it; tell them it takes no more than 15 seconds. Be annoying until they do it just to shut you up.

Change.org

Sign the Petition

Renew Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix

Fourth, request "Dead Boy Detectives Season 2" through Netflix's support website. It's a small thing but if we all do this a couple times a day it will get their attention. They really do vet these suggestions, and an influx of requests for a canceled show will raise eyebrows.

Lastly, if you decide to write Netflix (via email or a letter - their office address has been floating around) please remember to stay concise and professional. Don't curse at them, don't call names. State that you are disappointed with the cancellation of the show, maybe add an anecdote about what it meant to you, and I would even recommend attaching some articles that emphasize people's displeasure with the platform abandoning shows on a whim and Netflix's flippant attitude toward queer shows in particular. Dead Boy Detective Agency on Twitter has retweeted every article on this topic so far, you can find their page here.

You can also use graphics such as the ones below to affirm that the cancellation was unjust.

I know this feels like a lot: know your limits and take care of yourself. Whether you do every single one of these things or just a few of these things, every llittle bit helps!

Even in the worst case scenario where nothing changes, this gesture will mean so much to everyone who made this show. We owe it to the writers, cast, crew, and each other to TRY. We can all agree that this show deserves at least another season and if Netflix isn't going to do it, they need to be open to selling it to someone who will. We cannot keep allowing them to axe these queer and diverse shows with little regard for their customers and their employees, but also because it sets a harmful standard in the industry that is destroying television.

Let's crack this case and bring our agency back! I truly believe in this community!! 💜 We can do this!!

If there are any spelling errors or issues with links let me know! I did this on mobile because I want to mobilize this information as quickly as possible! I'll be adding on to this with new developments and can answer any questions you all might have. Lets save our show!

Wait-

Fizzarolli checked what was going on with Blitzo all this years? I know he just used it to hurt him but listen to me-

There is no way he could've known the fact that his current love life are shit if he didn't at least bothered to check the details in the news about Blitz's love life dating a superstar.

He kept updating about him.

Asmodeus said to Blitz during last episode that he lived in Fizz's head all this years.

My heart breaks when I think about how Fizz probably searched information online about Blitzo as a way of self destruction, can't stop thinking about his old-friend-now-enemy making himself miserable in the process.

I'm so glad Fizzarolli and Blitz made up now! I love their friendship and their dynamic now.

But yeah Blitz fucked Fizz up (and not in a fun way), he must have gone through many years of agony over it.

I'm so excited for the next episode!

Purity culture has a way of getting into fandom spaces with a strength that's genuinely concerning. Especially in these times we're living, where our very own existences are being threatened by powerful people creating laws based on conservativism and puritanism.

I find it ironic (and very telling) that we're so ready to clutch our pearls when it comes to sexual content, but not anything else.

Dead Boy Detectives fandom, I'm talking to you.

Why are we so scandalized by the mere mention of sex? By people writing or creating sexually explicit art? Why do we think that younger fans of the show are not ready to hear simple words describing sexual activities in a neutral way, or discuss sensitive subjects such as sex related activities?

When I see people being censored or criticized under this "protect the children" rhetoric, I ask myself:

How were these the same fans who watched an entire show which main themes are hate crimes, queer subjects, violence and death, and that also heavily presents sexual assault, family annihilation, colorful and frequent curse words and many more real life, serious elements?

If you are a fan of this show and you were able to understand and connect with even a portion of its canonical content, then I'd assume that you're ready to have a conversation about it, or watch others talk about it. And yet I continue to see people wanting to keep others from conversations that are not any more explicit or sexual or serious in nature than what we see in the show.

Do not lie to yourselves, are we really concerned about other people's safety? Or are we performing some form of shallow wanna-be activism?

Are we celebrating a (cancelled) queer show, or deciding that some queer experiences are more appropriate than others?

See the way our fandom trends reflect what's happening in our very real lives. Do not protect the fake values of conservatism, they want all of us just as equally silent (or dead).
