I Need More People To Talk About Charles Fear Of Water/the Cold. I Don't Think It Was Mentioned As Directly

I need more people to talk about Charles fear of water/the cold. I don't think it was mentioned as directly in the Netflix show as it was in Doom Patrol but I need more about it. I need more of Edwin trying to help him through it subtly while others are confused. I need more of my boys 😞

@netflix FUCK YOU

Dead Boy Detectives Writers' Room Quotes Part 1

Inspired by Zack Ogle's tweet

i hate you streaming services i hate you eight episode seasons i hate you cancelling popular shows i hate you i hate you i hate you

But yeah sure we should cancel dead boy detectives and renew sandman. Fuckin brilliant @netflix

As upset as I am about the dbda cancellation, I have to remind myself that this was originally a Star Trek blog. The original series was cancelled in 1969, but the fandom kept going until they got the motion picture a full decade later in 1979. Now, Star Trek is one of the most successful franchises in the world.

I do think the dead boy detectives fandom is similar. Not only because we’re all in love with a show (and a specific queer ship within the show), but because we’re dedicated and passionate. Nobody in 1969 would have ever predicted that there would be nearly a dozen Star Trek spinoffs, and we can’t know the future of dead boy detectives.

Star Trek revolutionized modern fandom. In a way, we’re all following in the path carved by those 1960s housewives and their obsession with an emotionally unavailable alien and his himbo partner. If they kept their fandom alive before social media, when they could only watch the show during occasional reruns, we can do the same thing now.

All I know is that as long as there is fandom, there is hope. Even if it takes a decade
