Charles Says: Im Here To Rescue You

Charles says: I’m here to rescue you

But his eyes say: I love you

Rescue me Charles Rowland, rescue me…

Edwin Payne & Niko Sasaki | Dead Boy Detectives 1.03

i love that dbd acknowledges that edwin and charles have 30+ years of "noodle incidents" to confuse crystal with. imagine the gang is looking through old cases for info they think might be useful and its just:

edwin: check the case of the courthouse

charles: was that the one where we got arrested or the one where we got married?

crystal: im sorry- what?!

edwin: no, the courthouse was the one where you tried to receive your own life insurance

crystal: nonono backtrack a second- when were you two going to tell me about this

charles: ok technically we didn't get married, lewis and gina turner did, but-

crystal: im not talking about that

crystal: im talking about edwin having a criminal record

-two days later-

crystal: wait you tried to get your own life insurance

edwin: he got in a rather embarrassing argument with a receptionist over the issue

charles: its why im not allowed to be the woman anymore

edwin: indeed, we used to play the stationary game for the role

crystal: i have so many questions but lets start with this, the stationary game??

charles: rock paper scissors

if payneland isnt endgame itll be soooo awkward for anyone they date in the future. like lol yeah that's my best mate and he will always be my Person and my Priority, you're cool too but would i go to hell for you? no

we need to talk about the Blue Light.

how it represents a safe passage forward from Death, and more broadly it symbolises the idea of a personal, individual to each person Heaven;

how the person usually isn't as directly lit as Edwin here, but from a side?

and how, when Charles looks at Edwin with the slightest smile and utter conviction in his eyes, Edwin is completely bathed in blue?

and. how Edwin, dead on a technical error, never got to see where his soul really belonged when it comes to his afterlife— and yet it's doubtless, from this shot alone, what his original destination would be.
