Crystal: You’re Such A Dick

I know Charles is obviously bisexual within the context of the show (no way that boy is straight) and Steve Yackey officially said in an interview he and Edwin will "develop their relationship beyond friendship" in season 2 (if it will be able to happen of course).

But I still need DC to canonically confirm Charles as bi. I cannot go through this again. I am sick of baiting. Yes he's obviously bi but I still need it announced. I need it to be absolute, to shush anyone who would doubt it. I need to hear it.

It's pride month now DC, you have the perfect opportunity. It can't be any more perfect.

post was lightly edited because English is not my native language and I wanted to rephrase some stuff better

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

Why do people behave like Edwin is the main character and Charles is just there to be his "bestie" low key making him "sidekick"??? Because it's starting to feel racist.

They go through the same amount of development throughout the show. Both of them have major story lines.

Just watched an interviewer introducing George and Jayden as "George, who plays Edwin. Jayden, who plays Edwin's best friend Charles."

I NEED YOU TO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU WHITE BOY. THEY BOTH BELONG TO EACH OTHER EQUALLY.

I love Edwin. But Charles is not his accessory. Treating Charles as anything less than equal feels racist.

If I had a nickel for every time Jeremy Jordan played a tragic character that started wanting to change society for the better and tried to be revolutionist, but fell too far,

Had a villain arc derived from their oppression, ended up making deals with bad people to solve their problems creating more damage they were against in the past, lost their mental health in the process,

And it was a musical-

I would have 3 nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened 3 times.

Doing this

I'm so good at decisions you guys

Simon and Esther makes me feel.... Mixed feelings.

But I love most characters in the show, it's really hard to hate when so many of them are written so beautifully.

(this cop I'll hate any day though, idc. Acab. She's bad at her job).

Anyway

I hope you all will have a great year!

Keep screaming and keep shouting about our beloved show🗣️

No matter what will happen, Netflix needs to know how pissed we are.

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

Another small way to help Dead Boy Detectives that takes less than 5 minutes

This was a suggestion from the @savethedeadboys account on TikTok!

If you have a Netflix account, go to this page:

When you get there you can just type your issue in as "Chat with a representative" and then press "Chat with us."

A chat box will pop up, just like if you were private messaging someone. They will ask what you need and again I just typed in "Chat with a representative."

After that, you will be connected to someone (for me it was less than 5 minutes) and asked what email your account is associated with and what you need help with. I said the following:

"Hello! I wanted to reach out and voice my displeasure and disappointment about Netflix's recent decision to cancel Dead Boy Detectives. I know that as a customer service representative, this is not your fault and you are not involved in these decisions, but I have been so heartbroken and angry that this show was canceled by Netflix with no justifiable reason. It seems to be a trend lately that Netflix does not care to complete stories that mainly focus on the experiences of queer people and people of color, which is a great injustice to the audiences that typically are looking to be represented in the media they consume and the diverse cast who put their all into creating a fantastic, nuanced show. If possible, I would greatly appreciate you passing this message along to let someone in management know my displeasure with this recent decision that could very well lead to me ending my relationship with the streamer in the future. Thank you!"

You can use what I said as a template, but obviously, adjust it to sound like you! My representative was lovely and I had this message typed beforehand, so literally it took me 5 minutes. You can even request a copy of the conversation (a transcript) to be sent to your email if you desire (I did, I have been keeping meticulous receipts of my work regarding saving this show so Netflix cannot have any plausible deniability, at least where I'm concerned).

Remember to BE KIND. Whoever you're talking to did not make this decision and they shouldn't be treated poorly because of it!

Happy case solving, detectives! We're going to bring our boys home, have faith! 💜

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

A conversation I had with my friend while they were watching dbd ep 4:

My friend: (learning about Charles' backstory) oh god did that boy ever had a happy day in his life?

Me, meaning it with all of my heart: anyday that Edwin was there.

Me realizing a few moments later: oh wait in his life? So no.

Constant headaches I would probably have.
