The Case In Which We Save Dbd

The Case in which we save dbd 🗣❗️

I thought perhaps this lantern would help. 🕯️

So I made a Twitter on the 2nd I think, solely to help the cause. Pretty sure I’m largely unnoticed by the twit-sphere, until today apparently. Yesterday was the first time I’ve interacted with any of Netflix’s official posts, and I was polite, no snark at all. Went to post today and my account had been locked. It was unlocked easily enough, via a verification code send to my email, however it’s apparently been “labeled.”

These are the posts:

So the only one I check on is the last one, where it doesn’t show up under the replies. Not even the “potential spam” or the “potentially offensive content” label. There is, however, a very naked man, apparently from the first playgirl magazine, hanging out unlabeled by anything in the replies. So…yay?

Something I adore about dead boy detectives is how they show, again and again, that kindness and support of each other is a choice. Edwin and Charles are the prime examples - you see them choose to help each other, help clients, be kind, despite the Horrific things they have suffered from bigots and mischance; and you see other people (Simon, Maxine, the bullies) choose violence. And it's maybe most strongly contrasted with Esther, who went to dark magic and violence and power after a domestic and ordinary betrayal - her husband, cheating. And Crystal, roundly awful before her memory loss, gets the chance to be a good person and takes it and works for it and fights for other people.

And the thing I like about this is how it highlights people's agency; it's not what was done to you, but what you do, that matters.

The Death of 'Dead Boy Detectives' Was Untimely

Netflix has canceled its The Sandman spin-off Dead Boy Detectives after a single season and it's rough out here for genre fans in the stream

Such a good article, one of my favorites so far.

Just some screenshots of some tweets to keep everyone encouraged and motivated.

We really do have a chance. We just have to be persistent and patient.
