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.

Btw for anyone who doesn’t like to use twitter/x or just doesn’t feel like using it, I take suggestions on what to tweet! I made a new twitter just for #savedeadboydetectives but I mostly retweet current stuff. So if yall want to spread anything new just put it in the notes or tags or whatever and I’ll tweet it with the proper hashtags!

Okay but it doesn't make sense, I mean everything pointed to a renewal: they had season 2 practically already written and just 2 weeks ago George made all those cameos hinting at season 2, replying to those who asked about future plans for the characters things like "I already know how it ends", "We just have to wait to see this and that" and he seemed quite hopeful (and honestly like he knew that there was a future for the show and the characters).

Of course, I'm not saying he already knew and fooled us because we know how much he cares about the show and about Edwin and about the fandom, quite the opposite more likely he was informed later (and I can't begin to imagine how heartbroken he must be now, along with the rest of the cast), but what I don't understand is he must have asked for permission to talk about Dead Boy Detectives and Edwin's character and to say things like that, otherwise he could've simply redirected the answers to a more neutral ground instead of teasing, so I don't know, there's just something that doesn't sit well with me with this cancellation.

I love stories where they find the boys remains and bury them together, and one of my favs is Laid to Rest by @asidian

The imagery in this fic is described in such lovely detail, I could picture the scene in my head and felt really inspired to draw it 💖

An aspect of Edwin's character that interests me is that he has not just accepted death - he has embraced it. Like, he did not want to die, and Hell was an unfathomably horrific experience. But now, after three decades with Charles, it seems to be his preferred state. He was never happy when he was alive, and now he has the safety of having someone who unconditionally loves him. He's passionate about his cases and finds fulfillment. He knows that none of this would have happened if he lived, and he's probably right! I hate that for him! And even if he did, he now knows that he would have been surrounded by people who wished he were gone! He's not just at peace with his death, he does not yearn for life. This is his life.
