Asking a favor from Lockwood & Co fans

To all Lockwood & Co fans on Tumblr, I'm here to ask a favor from the bottom of my heart.

Dead Boy Detectives recently got cancelled, and there's currently a push to get the cancellation reversed. I know you all know the pain of a great show cut short, so I'm asking: would you please give it a chance? Or if you're busy and don't have time to watch, please stream it in the background with the sound on but low.

If you could help out another fandom, we would all be super grateful.

Idk if anyone is a fan of Manifest but it was in a similar situtation as Dead Boy Detectives is: canceled on a cliffhanger and then picked back up. There's a fantastic, enlightening article on how the fans managed to make that happen:

The Hollywood Reporter

Why Netflix Really Saved ‘Manifest’ (It Wasn’t the Tweets)

Inside the streamer's decision to salvage the surprise summer sensation — and how the move from NBC to Netflix will change season four.

The TLDR, when it comes down to it? VIEWS.

So, Point 1 I'm trying to make: REWATCH THE FUCK OUT OF THIS SHOW. Have it on all day, every day and when it gets to the Netflix Top-10 trending DO NOT STOP. Have it on in the background on a low volume, pop some headphones in if you don't want to hear it. Literally KEEP WATCHING. DO NOT CANCEL YOUR NETFLIX ACCOUNT.

Point 2: If you have a family member or friend who hasn't watched Dead Boy Detectives, ask them to. If they're not interested, here's what I suggest - ask them to let you sign into their account and watch it full through to help boost the viewership. Do it at night when they're sleeping or while they're at work and don't need their account. If Netflix sees an uptick in accounts who have never watched this show watching it, that will raise eyebrows.

They do not care about our feelings. They do not care about the integrity of artful storytelling or the importance of queer representation.

They care about views. We need to give them views. A tremendous turnaround in viewership post-cancellation will make them reconsider. That's how we save our show. It's just like Crystal Palace said - we need a unified front if we're going to face the mistress of doom (Netflix HQ) out there!!!

STREAM THE FUCK OUT OF THIS SHOW and do not stop telling others to do the same! If you were on the fence about watching this show, this is your sign to watch it because we need you now more than ever! I promise you will love it, the show is so meaningful, fun, and special... plus we are an awesome, active fandom with talented writers and artists! You will have a great time here and you know what if you don't like it you can personally kick me in the shin honestly! Please help us save our show!

!!!!! Keep streaming we're almost there

Dead Boy Detectives is almost back in the top 10 on Netflix, it’s at number 16 right now

Keep streaming it, it’s working

Remember to have your volume up at least a little bit because watching on silent doesn’t get counted apparently
