Ok So I Finally Watched Some More Sandman And Read Some More Fanfiction So Now I Kinda Want:

Ok so I finally watched some more Sandman and read some more fanfiction so now I kinda want:

Orpheus!Edwin where Dream was the one who had to kill his son, but his son was reborn just in time to be killed by the same book that imprisoned him for a decade

His son who wanted so much to save his love from hell, just to be reborn and end up there himself

Everyone Dream loves is put there at some point, either by his hand or an accident

Eurydice!Charles being the one to pull him out even though Orpheus!Edwin failed their first life

But even then he looked back

Dream finding his son again only to find out while he was trapped, Edwin was being tortured

Despair looking after her nephew in her own twisted way, she couldn’t interfere with his punishment, but she gave him his tormentor to inflict his own hurt upon

Some of my Orpheus!Charles and Eurydice!Edwin dbd ideas!

Unlike Orpheus, Charles’ Father disliked his singing and thought it was too girly

Since in the series Death hasn’t meet the boys, she only suspects they’re the reincarnations of her nephew and his love, she isn’t 100% sure and doesn’t want to give her brother false hope

The cat king is a child of Desire, making him a cousin to Orpheus

What if the boys met Hob first and he introduces Morpheus to the boys

Hob doesn’t know the boys know Morpheus (maybe the boys don’t remember either)

The reason their lives restarted in such different times was an attempt to try to separate them, but their soulmates so they found each other anyway

Edwin’s soul always has some mark of hell

Reverse reincarnation: Edwin as Orpheus, Charles as Eurydice

Maybe Eurydice was always book smart, but it got lost in time

How would the boys go from being on the run from an Endless to being family to them??

I’ll probably have more but if anyone wants to use any of this feel free. I’m an idea person not a writer.

the worst part of all this is just how fucking messy the rights/ownership/etc are and how that makes saving it near impossible. like netflix didn’t just cancel it, it picked it up just to fucking doom it

You know, everyone says that Edwin is a brat, but I have to disagree. Edwin is a bitch, 100% but he's not a brat. You know who is a brat?

CHARLES.

Think about this for a second!

Charles tells the little girl that Edwin’s thing is to “play hard ball” as he’s about to do it, being cheeky and giving away the game. They save Crystal, find out she has some sort of amnesia, and he immediately says she can stay at their office without asking Edwin if it’s okay. And Edwin doesn’t even argue! He’s like, "okay, we don’t usually do that, what the hell, but guess this is a thing right now”.

They bring her back to their office, and he tries to explain that this it’s a bad idea, but notably tries to whisper so as not to wake her up. Even though Edwin doesn't like her and doesn't want her there, he's considerate. Edwin’s entire routine and safe space has been upended by this living girl, so he’s understandably stressed and in a bad mood, but Charles is like, “you’re being bitchy, so I’m gonna go out with Crystal”. They get back and Edwin’s still upset, and then Charles is like, “btw she’s gonna stay” without asking Edwin AGAIN! And AGAIN he doesn’t argue! He immediately asks how long she’s staying for!

Then Crystal reads Becky’s poster and Charles wants to go overseas for a living client, which is all new and Edwin even says that it’s all happening too fast, and they STILL GO! Charles throws Edwin's own worries about Death back at him despite brushing him off earlier, and pulls the guilt trip card of letting Becky die, in front of Crystal, and fucking smiles because he knows he’s won.

And Edwin? He just fucking sighs.

And then once they’re in Port Townsend, Charles sides with Crystal at every turn. He tells Crystal they can find a different way to get the information when the entire point of bringing her was for her powers. He calls Edwin a show-off when he mirror hops, and says it not as an insult, but also without his usual fondness. He says himself that possessing the living "sets off all sorts of alarm bells in the Afterlife", proceeds to do it anyway, then brushes off Edwin’s worries of the consequences. When Crystal yells at them about being scared, he puts her feelings above Edwin’s, who has already been pushed completely out of his comfort zone, and is taking an extra personal risk getting involved with a demon considering he’s on the run from Hell. Even when Crystal’s revealed to have lied about David, and Edwin’s having a complete breakdown, Charles still brings it back around to Crystal.

And this is all just the FIRST EPISODE!!

They are both totally devoted to each other, unquestioningly, but Charles has Edwin literally wrapped around his finger. There's nothing he could ask him to do that he would refuse. He might bitch about it or resist it initially, but he always does what Charles wants in the end.

And Charles seems oblivious and all too aware at the same time. I don't think he has a grasp of how much Edwin would do or how far Edwin would go for him. But he smiles at him and knows he'll cave, and he uses that.

If one of them is a brat, it's fucking Charles.

Hello Wednesday fandom - I’m reaching out to you in a plea of fandom solidarity! Please help us!!!

I’m writing on behalf of The Dead Boy Detectives fandom: our show was canceled in its first season, cut off without a care for its dedicated fandom or its insane amount of potential. Yet another queer, diverse, supernatural show suffers an unfair fate and we’re bloody sick of it! We believe Netflix and Warner Bros. are making a huge mistake!

Could you guys please sign our petition and help spread it by reblogging?

Renew Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix

We’re not just trying to get a season 2: we’re trying to get justice for the cast, crew, and writers behind this unapologetically queer show. They had the writers write a season 2 just to cancel the show and, frankly, that’s objectively a slimy thing to do. I believe Dead Boy Detectives is a casualty of its time, that shows cult-clasic, niche shows like Buffy or Supernatural for instance would suffer the same fate today if held to Netflix’s callous and cruel standards and their blatant disregard for creatives.

Lastly, our shows are actually quite aesthetically similar, and I think if you enjoy Wednesday you will enjoy Dead Boy Detectives as well! Please don’t let the cancellation deter you, it really is a phenomenal show that will have you laughing one moment and crying the next. The story is really well-paced and self-contained, so there’s no gigantic cliffhanger to worry about either. It has so much heart! Please help us save our boys who defy heaven and hell with their love! 💜

Thank you in advance to any of you who signed, and a HUGE special thank you to those who stream it! Netflix has gotten far too comfortable nuking shows, especially those with queer themes and diverse leading characters, in their prime. If you sign and share our petition in an act of fandom solidarity please know it means the world to our detective agency and we appreciate you so much!!!💀🔎💜

Last thing: I promise this post is not intended to clog your tag in any way! This will be the only post I make in your tag! I wouldn’t want our fandom to bleed into your space! We’re just desperate for help and there’s so much overlap in our fandoms and shows that it made sense to reach out to you all - I figure the least I can do for the show I love so much is to try. Thank you again 🖤

Question, how do you make fandom friends in real life?? Like I don’t like talking to people but i need someone to talk about fandoms, I’m going to go insane
