1, 5, 7, 15 for the dbda ask game :)
Thank you so much for submitting these questions!
1. My favourite character
It's Charles. Yeah it's very obvious from my profile picture, I'm a Charles fan all the way.
The moment I met him in the show/ trailer I got possessed. I knew he was going to be my favourite character and I was right. Also I'm in love(/nsrs. Well, okay, maybe a bit, but mostly not!) with Jayden Revri. God the eyes of this boy. And his face. And his everything.
Yeah Charles is very much my favourite.
After him probably Edwin Crystal and Jenny, with no particular order. I can't decide.
I'm extremely obsessed with Edwin as well, although he is vastly different from my usual type of characters, because a fencer (in my heart, George also confirmed! And I relate to him on that) + he's not afraid to be bitchy and he's so iconic and so many others stuff that surprised me about him. I love him.
Also Crystal. My love. My girl. Complex female characters my beloved.
And Jenny is an icon. What else can I say?
5. Character I relate to the most.
Well, it's Charles. Sorry the answer is clear cut lol.
His situation with his parents reminds me of my own a lot (unfortunately). I relate to him on so many deep and emotional levels. Some of the episodes hit me strong. I thought 3 was going to be the peak where we get to see his trauma although it's not a lot, and then episode 4 hit me like a train. Episode 5 (especially the end) has my heart.
I relate to Charles on so many levels.
I also relate to Crystal a lot, her journey is relatable. I feel her.
She's just as messy and complicated as anyone else in there, I get her.
7. Favourite headcanon from the fandom
Demiromantic Charles! I talked about it before and also tagged the post I saw it in that explains it really well. I love this. I wish I saw more fanfics exploring this.
Also I wish I saw more gender queer Charles Rowland.
But mostly demi Charles. I can't think of any other hc I saw I really like yet.
15. My favourite line
There are many, many, hilarious lines I dearly love. But I am going to go with an angsty pick, I think the line that broke me the most was a line Charles said in episode 1 I didn't see anyone talking about I think holds a major part of his character- "you are the smart one, and I'm the one that does shit like this." It deeply hurt me.
Let's talk about it for a moment, shall we?
Because Charles is smart. Many times he finds the solutions to their cases, Edwin often praises him for his brilliant mind and George himself said in a cameo only people he thinks truly deserves it- a compliment from Edwin is the highest compliment ever.
Charles is smart.
But he sees himself as this reckless, foolish, charicaristic. This sentence comes from so much self hatred. When things get complicated we see him turn again into the aggressive image he has of himself. He sees himself as waste. He holds Edwin at the highest place ever in his eyes "you are the smart one, you are better than this, you are better than me, don't step to my level I'm trash you are so much more I will do it for you" and it just hurts me how much he throws himself away in the process.
Seeing this line again in a rewatch and realise it definitely was a stab to the chest, now that it's known how much he hates himself.
I wish we talked about episode 1 more, it's a great episode that sets out so many important stuff for the rest of the show. We just skip over it because so much happened so quickly but there are so much stuff we need to unpack there.
All Kwamis are aroace.
I'm probably late to figure it out, I just recently rejoined the fandom but I still think it's cool.
Tikki said Kwamis don't fall in love. Miraculous holders might, but Kwamis don't.
That's confirmed Aro.
Also they're probably asexual as well. Like, how would they do the *you know what* anyway??? It's not like they have organs for that anyway.
They're probably not sexually attracted as well. Because I don't see how they would.
So anyway yeah aall Kwamis are aroace.
Happy ace week!
This is my official request for Dead Boy Detectives prompts!
Preferably about Edwin and Charles. Especially more about Charles but not necessarily.
I just finished my fanfic and I'm desperate for new ideas, I want to keep writing about them.
Comments, ask box, and dm, are all open.
Any prompt would be appreciated🫶
the person reading this is going to survive the rough patch they’re going through
Edwin Payne's flag be like:
(sorry the quality is not so great Tumblr is being shit for some reason)
(this is my personal design, if other people want to use it for other stuff they're more than welcome just with credit for the design!)
Damian and Goliath, gouache
After so many months, I have finally finished another Dead Boy Detectives fic!!!
Relationships: Edwin Payne & Charles Rowland, Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland (established relationship),
Some additional tags: hurt/comfort, angst with a happy ending, internalised ableism, autistic Edwin Payne, (heavy on this one), internalised homophobia, period typical ableism, bullying, ...............
(plenty of angsty tags, please read the tags before you enter).
Summary:
From a very young age, Edwin knew he was different.
People were never easy for him. He was ‘sensitive’. Intense. Weirdly obsessed. It didn't help that his heart had always started racing around a particular boy from his fencing class.
The kids at St. Hilarion had never let him forget how different he was. They made it their mission to turn his life into a living hell for years- *before* they then sent him to actual hell.
No matter what he did, his mother always seemed to despise him.
He tried, he tried so hard to push through everything. He never asked to be different. But nothing ever worked.
One thing was abundantly clear: something was entirely wrong about Edwin Payne.
//Or:
A glance at Edwin’s growing up in the Edwardian era, his life, death, and all the rest.
Edwin Payne always knew he was different, he was a disaster and a failure. Only a matter of time before Charles will realise and leave. He enters a panic attack thinking about his past.
Charles, however, thinks differently, and is intent on having none of that self hate his boyfriend seems to insist on.
//2or:
Edwin is sad. Charles hugs him really really tight to let him know he is loved and okay.
Basically just autistic Edwin fic, with a very very long introduction about his past the bullying he went through etc. I hope you will enjoy!
Written as part of a secret exchange fics game I have done with my friends for @jcforsapphics !! I hope you will like it.
Rip Charles Rowland we will never get to see you make Edwin a flustered mess.
Rip Charles Rowland we will never get to see you become a flustered mess yourself when you try making Edwin become a flustered mess.
Rip Edwin Payne we will never get to see you flirting back when you are more comfortable with your sexuality now and turning Charles into a flustered mess back.
Rip Charles Rowland we will never get to see you exploring your sexuality and realising you love Edwin.
Rip payneland we will never get to see you getting together.
Rip Crystal Palace we will never know how you will react to the two old-people-love-sick-teenagers Edwin and Charles.
Constant headaches I would probably have.
Another day, another Dead Boy Detectives question! ✨
In the hopes of getting the fandom tag trending and getting more eyes on Dead Boy Detectives, please use the tag "dead boy detectives" when you reblog to reply.
Today's question:
If you were a psychic, what do you think you would like least about your powers?
Update: I have discovered that the other character I like was also because of hidden deep trauma that made me relate to them.
Being in the Hell-verse fandom is like
Oh why is this character my favourite?
It's because we have similar trauma and I relate to that character deeply I feel so much pain and emotions through them they describe my trauma perfectly.
And why is this other character also in my top favourite characters?
Because they're a cool ass bad bitch, I like them.
Hey, DC-
You made such a big deal out of creating your first trans masc superhero.
Give him more than f%cking 3 comic appearances.
Call me Rubèn!! Or Ru / Ben if we're friends.✡️🌈 no pronouns/he/they/it.Used to be multi fandom, mostly Dead Boy Detectives right now. I swear this account had other subjects before.Usually mostly DC but I spit out a lot of random fandoms shit.
