the mortifying ordeal of being known and such except it’s not mortifying to be known by you it’s like you’re hugging my soul
Edwin after the confession is a menace
Bonus Charles being normal about it:
Tidiness is the death of comfort (I keep leaving my sweaters upstairs and now I’m cold)
Pride thoughtssss. Andrew gets to dress Neil up once more (I included my other thoughts of Neil in a mesh shirt bc why not)
And while we’re here choose a flavor of Kevi
ALSO! if you follow me on here and somehow haven't watched dead boy detectives yet, I am BEGGING you to do so! we need all the streams we can get to try and save this show. I have no way of repaying you, other than knowing you will be making a mutual very, very happy.
reasons why you should watch it:
Dead Boy Detectives is a wonderfully, unquestionably queer show. Most of the main/reoccurring characters are queer, with the others who aren't being very queer coded.
It feels like old school Supernatural or Buffy but made for today's audience and queer. Add in the mystery/detective aspect and you've got the perfect recreation of SuperWhoLock my friend, all in one show.
Actors/Writers from Supernatural also worked on this. Everyone knows the wonderful Ruth Connell who played Rowena on Supernatural! And Steve Yockey was a writer/producer for some great episodes of Supernatural. There's also everyone's favorite trickster angel, Richard Speight Jr, who directed one of the best episodes of television ever in Dead Boy Detectives called The Case of the Very Long Stairway.
While this show is wonderful for the romantic aspect of it, it is- at it's heart, a show about love and acceptance. Edwin's journey of self-discovery and his queer identity is not one you see every day on TV, but it is done so well! Each one of the characters have such interesting, fully developed arcs that really tie together the fact that they are all just teens who the world would rather forget about, but they won't let it. Not as long as they are around, they will always have someone who remembers them.
Dead Boy Detectives deserves to continue. It deserves to finish telling the story they set out to. It deserves to be remembered.
Maybe it's just in my neck of woods (Tumblr) but I'm surprised how it's only "cute Monty" all around and not "poor incomprehensibly brutally abused Monty".
Don't get me wrong, absolutely no judgement, I definitely think he's cute and kind (in his own clueless way) and I love our little crow boy.
BUT I haven't seen anything about the absolutely horrific, stomach-turning, beyond-cruel transformations Esther made him go through both times. She literally butchered him and tore him to pieces alive! Every time I think about it I feel myself shying away from remembering, horror gripping my spine.
I guess that's maybe it? It's so horrific that we all collectively decided not to talk about it? I'm really curious.
YES TO ALL OF THIS!!!! GIVE ME DESIRE AND A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL HOLY SHIT
