Gentle Reminder That If Youre Enjoying Agatha All Along, Youll Love Dead Boy Detectives!!!

Gentle reminder that if you’re enjoying Agatha All Along, you’ll love Dead Boy Detectives!!!

Commission 💌

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.

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!

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.

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.
