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

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 🖤

if you want to get really mad, one of the writers for Dead Boy Detectives confirmed on twitter today that the Season 2 script had been WRITTEN AND COMPLETED when the cancellation news went out.

This is really untenable, not just as people watching these shows for entertainment, but as people who care about art and workers being treated fairly.

#netflixcancels is trending because people are so angry about several other wonderful, highly praised shows getting axed for the same reasons - especially Warrior Nun, another LGBTQ show with 100% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and winner of several awards.

⭐️ I can only recommend, if this is important to you, streaming the hell out of Dead Boy Detectives and getting others on board, or you and everyone you know unsubscribes from Netflix. You can let em know on social media too.

There's also a petition, it's at 14k signatures, which is not nothing.

Anyway. I'm just stunned that Netflix bothers to make these shows which are positively received and artistically groundbreaking, just to destroy them after 1 season. It's unfair to everyone, not just fans, and an alarming sign for creative professions on the whole.

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!
