Payneland is literally the opposite of "the feeling was friendship but neither of them had ever experienced it." They've been in love for 30+ years but don't know how to differentiate that from friendship because neither of them have ever experienced it
(In the middle of watching Dead Boy Detectives finally)
Hey Death honey I love you girl but I need you to leave my emotional support gays alone.
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.
FUCK YEAH I AGREE WITH YOU!
SHILOH WAS SO FRICKING GOOD.
It made me laugh, it made me cry, it's the best cops piece of media I ever saw/read.
SHILOH IS FRICKING AWESOME AND THAT CLIFFHANGER WAS FRICKING ILLEGAL. I'm going crazy because of it.
I need Shiloh to continue so bad!
okay i feel like i have to explain myself to all the nevermore lovers out there that I ABSOLUTELY ADORE NEVERMORE i just have a very very VERY strong emotional attachment to shiloh and its my absolute favourite
i also think it’s so sad the way even the queer community upholds top/bottom, inferior/superior dichotomies because it genuinely interferes with people discovering and accepting their own identities. i have spoken with so many bottoms & pillow princesses who realized they were gay and then they expected sex to be enjoyable now that they were engaging in sex aligned with their sexuality, only to find they still felt uncomfortable during sex and they were like “maybe I’m not gay….” and when i asked about their experiences it turned out that they simply do not enjoy topping and when i told them “okay, so don’t top,” they were shocked by that because we apply moral value to giving and receiving acts of sex, in which givers are Generous and Good and receivers as Selfish and Bad.
Not to mention that bottoming IS still giving & providing a sexual act, which is enjoyed by the person topping. not everyone has to be a vers! There is no superior way to engage in sex!
Ask Game. 14
Hello totally random person!
Anyway
14. Least favourite character!
Fuck. This shit is hard. Every character there is beautifully done. How can I pick something I don't like? I'm obsessed with everything.
The character I used to dislike the most was Esther but fuck, I gotta admit, she's iconic. She's a good campy villain, she deserves the credit. I hated her only because I resonated with Charles and Edwin too much so I disliked her as the enemy (childish, I know), but fuck I can't really hate her she's a good character.
It's impossible to dislike anything! Because everything served a purpose. Even the Dandelion sprites, and I don't particularly like them either.
Um. The jocks from episode 5. Because I can't find one redeemable quality about them, I hate those guys. I'm happy they're in hell. They served a purpose in the plot but they got what they deserved.
deeply unlikeable and unpleasant female characters are actually so important for the ecosystem and also as a good litmus test over if a person is Weird about women or not
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.
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!
New fic posting!
Fandom: Dead Boy Detectives (TV show)
Pairing: Charles Rowland/Edwin Payne
Characters: Charles Rowland, Edwin Payne, briefly mentioned Crystal Palace.
Other tags: domestic fluff, cuddling & snuggling, boys in love, tooth rotting fluff, established relationship, talking about their relationship and more.
Description:
They adapt into their new relationship astonishingly fast.
They kiss- quite a lot, and hold hands, taking any excuse they can to be close to each other- grossing Crystal out from their lovesick behaviour sometimes, grinning and chuckling when she rolls her eyes in dismay at their open affectionate behaviour.
They are in love, completely and utterly besotted with each other. And while all this is absolutely wonderful, a question wouldn’t leave Edwin’s mind- what are they?
Edwin has questions about their relationship, he wants to find an official word with Charles call their new recent romantic relationship to make the romance part of their relationship official. Charles just seems keen on kissing his partner.
Perhaps they have also always simply been everything always all at once altogether anyway. So can one word truly fit?
I'm slowly starting to publish stuff more and more and I'm proud of me.
you're awesome ❤️❤️❤️ love you
🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 awwwww! Thanks, I needed that <3🩵
Love you, corpse <3. Best cannibalistic corpse I know.
I understand you😭
But at the same time I just want more
Can't we just get more without anyone dying?🥲 Let's ask Red the creator I think she's here on this app.
We (the fandom) demand more!
okay i feel like i have to explain myself to all the nevermore lovers out there that I ABSOLUTELY ADORE NEVERMORE i just have a very very VERY strong emotional attachment to shiloh and its my absolute favourite
