TDT blue/noah kiss 💔

actually no, we're not "dating". we're bound together for infinity. like the stars. so, fuck you, actually.

one of my fave little things charles and edwin do, besides their perfect synchronization, is that charles will tee up something silly ("why don't you fall through the floor?") and edwin will put on this little show of being dry and serious ("because i do not want to! happy?") and they both think this is hilarious

stop.

take a breath and be here in this moment.

you are a jellyfish on the warm sand, drying in the sun. don't panic.

you cannot struggle or call out. you have no brain, you don't suffer. you have no unfinished business - you are a jellyfish. you have no fears or worries. you are powerless but to enjoy this moment before you die.

there's nothing you can do but listen to the sound of the waves rushing the shore, the laughter of families on a day out, the call of distant gulls. the sand is soft and warm. the sky is blue and endless.

the world is gentle. just exist in it.

ok you can keep scrolling now.

Edwin after the confession is a menace

Bonus Charles being normal about it:

One of my fav things in Dead Boy Detectives with Edwin & Charles is how they pass things back and forth, like Edwin just always hands things to Charles instead of putting them down himself and it’s so cute I’ll never get over them

I’d watch that

grrm so evil for creating them and not finishing the series

Yknow I still want Cressida to get a dressmaker gf like u cannot convince me that wouldn’t be perfect idk I can just see it so clearly in my mind lol

Also I so badly want Eloise to be Aromantic or some kind of aspec, strong independent woman with no need or want of romance please (my hopes aren’t high because it’s literally a romance show but still)

REASONS TO WATCH DEAD BOY DETECTIVES

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.
