Visibility and trending is EXTREMELY important right now. Keep talking about this show, keep streaming it, and keep promoting! 💜
Holmesbury, Everlark, Payneland, Percabeth, Locklyle (sort of, although I'm not sure if "softie" fits Lockwood)
Ive come to realize my favourite ships are those where one is feral and the other one is a softie and they both love each other a ridiculous amount but don’t piss of softie cus than he’s scarier than feral
I was discussing the Myers Briggs 16 personality test with a friend and felt the need to sort Edwin and Charles.
For everyone whos not familiar with the concept: There are 4 dimensions of traits.
The first is introversion versus extroversion
That's pretty self explaining.
Then there is intuitive versus observant
"Our second personality scale includes the Intuitive (N) and Observant (S) styles. These traits describe what people are more likely to do with the information gathered from the world around them. Intuitive personality types rely on imagining the past and future potential of what they see. Those with the Observant style are more interested in observable facts and more straightforward outcomes. They prefer to avoid layering too much interpretation on what they see."
The third scale is thinking versus feeling
"When presented with a decision, people with the Thinking trait typically lean on objective information. Knowledge is their indispensable tool. Once these personality types gather the facts, they test their alternatives against logic and reason to see which decision, by those standards, proves the most effective or realistic. They generally manage their relationships by employing fairness and effectiveness as their primary method of dealing with others. Their passions are born of respect.
People with the Feeling (F) trait follow their hearts and emotions – sometimes without even realizing it. They may show it to different degrees and in different ways, but however they do it, Feeling personality types tend to be caring, compassionate, and warm. These concerned people can be highly protective of those they care about – whether that is their immediate family or remote populations in need."
The last scale is judging vs perceiving.
I think the terminology is misleading. This scale means if a person is a planner or spontaneously.
I think Edwin and Charles are total opposites.
Edwin is introverted, observant, thinking and judging
That makes him a Logistican
"People with the ISTJ personality type (Logisticians) mean what they say and say what they mean, and when they commit to doing something, they make sure to follow through. With their responsible and dependable nature, it might not be so surprising that ISTJ personalities also tend to have a deep respect for structure and tradition. They are often drawn to organizations, workplaces, and educational settings that offer clear hierarchies and expectations."
Examples given for this type are George Washington, Hermione Granger, Mr. Darcy and Dana Scully
Charles is extroverted, intuitive, feeling and perceiving
That makes him a campaigner
"People with the ENFP personality type (Campaigners) are true free spirits – outgoing, openhearted, and open-minded. With their lively, upbeat approach to life, ENFPs stand out in any crowd. But even though they can be the life of the party, they don’t just care about having a good time. These personalities have profound depths that are fueled by their intense desire for meaningful, emotional connections with others."
Examples are Robin Williams, Peeta Mellark (Hunger Games) and Willy Wonka
Let me know if you disagree with those types, I love hearing different views.
I'm rewatching Enola Holmes and am so exited for the next movie.
And I wonder if we will ever learn Tewky's first name. Enola can’t call him by his last name forever, right?
Do you guys have a first name for him in mind?
To me he's an Oliver.
I love the X files. It was my favourite show growing up. I was actually a bit too young to watch it when it started (ten, I think), but it aired when my mother had her bathing evening and when my father had night shift I could secretly watch it.
Then one day when I was about 13 I was visitting friends with my mom. The kids there wanted to watch X files, my mother was hesitant because I was too young.
Me: "Ahm, actually, I've been watching it for years."
My mom became a fan that day and we watched it together from then on.
Mulder and Scully were the first couple I shipped (although the term didn’t exist back then).
So, I know it’s an old (almost as old as me), not to mention an ICONIC show, but I never watched The X Files. Until this week. I am almost done with Season 1 and I’ve got to say, so far, it’s pretty dope.
Any X Files fans out there?
They’ve got cases to solve 🔎🪞
more #savedeadboydetectives STICKERS!
Hi there DBDA friends! 👻
I got inspired by all the stuff people are doing to fight for the show, especially the stickers, so I made my own sticker design that will hopefully get people's attention when they see them outside!
Feel free to download and print them!
Also, sharing the sticker design online (or offline) is very much encouraged, I'd love for these to reach as many people as possible all over the world! It would be especially great if someone could share them on Twitter and Instagram since I'm not really on either of those.
It did take me quite a while to make them though, so I would appreciate it if you could link or mention this post when sharing these. Thank you! <3
The campaign to renew/save Dead Boy Detectives doesn't have one singular goal.
Yes, there is a main goal, but there are also other objectives in the meantime:
Strengthen the community and keep the fandom alive and tight
Get new people to find out about this wonderful show that can very well change their lives as it did ours
Make ourselves feel better about the cancellation by doing something instead of just being sad and angry with nowhere to put the energy into
Join the voices of other fandoms to criticize the TV industry as a whole
Reinforce our love for the show, creators, crew and cast
I know it might feel like there's no point, but there is. Saving DBD is where we're headed, but there's so much on the road. Remember every fight ever fought felt hopeless at some point, and not every battle was won, but it always means something.
'If you wanted us to be crushed or devestated, we are but we're also bloody angry, and you won't be taking us anywhere. We won't be having it. We still have a purpose, we're the dead boy detective agency!' ⊹ ࣪ ˖
I saw the first Tweet on my dash and like. Current events, bro
DEAD BOY DETECTIVES LETTER PROJECT
Starting this Thursday we will be sending letters to Netflix! Please prepare letters with all of your love for the show to convince Netflix to reverse their decision! 💜
Please use the following address: 5808 W. Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028 US
Every other week will be a letter mailing week so everyone has time to prepare their letters to send them on the selected Thursday's! You can send as many as you want to Netflix HQ and show them just how much you love Dead Boy Detectives!
Friends I have sent over 135 emails this week... all about Dead Boy Detectives. I am not opening Gmail for at least 24 hours (unless I get a notification that one of my favorite fanfics has updated ofc).
I'm so mad at Netflix right now that I could just scream!!! But if you have a little extra time and want to join me in my madness, here's the email list! Obviously, you can do as much or as little as you want. I'd recommend starting with Netflix!
LASTLY, don't feel like you have to get everything done in one day! (This is coming from me, who feels like I have to get everything done in one day.) Take care of yourselves! Daily reminder that we're doing great, the cast and crew are seeing our efforts and supporting us, and you aren't fighting for this show alone! It's a process and it won't happen overnight, so don't get disheartened! Keep talking about Dead Boy Detectives and keep streaming/telling others to stream.
Hugs x
Do you think with all honesty that we can do something and that we'll save dead boys detectives ? I am kind of depressed and I feel like nietflix will never listen to us and that it will change anything and that makes me so saaad so I just need your opinion ..
Hi queer fans of queer stuff! How are we feeling with today's TV industry? How about really bloody angry?
Look, the recent cancelation of Dead Boy Detectives is obviously personal for its fandom, but it's also one more nail in the coffin and I think we have to start doing something about it together.
I went through this with Sense8. With Our Flag Means Death. With smaller but also amazing shows like The Bastard Son and the Devil Himself. Not to mention when it's not cancelled yet but it's boycotted with seasons cut in half or zero marketing. *I am tired*.
If you are too, I ask you to join the campaign. This is specifically about increasing views and attention, not because Netflix is necessarily going to change their minds (we know that's unlikely), but because we want to prove that we exist as a group.
So even if you don't feel like actually watching right now, we ask you to give it a stream if you have a Netflix account, with headphones connected or low volume. If you don't have a Netflix account, and honestly good for you, you can help by boosting us in social media.
I do recommend Dead Boy Detectives for real, it's REALLY good, but this is more about joining forces. They want numbers, so we give them numbers in the most petty way: after they cancelled so that other networks will get interested. At the very least, the crew and creators might get some royalties and they deserve it after busting their asses for years to give us this season.
TL;DR: stream dead boy detectives as a community to shove it in their faces
Remember to keep shouting about Dead Boy Detectives 💖
Not laughing at stutterers is suicide prevention
Not making mean remarks about the way someone looks is suicide prevention
Those things may seem like no big things, but you never know what little thing you do to hurt somebody is the final straw that makes them think "I can’t endure this world anymore."
This is about a show that was saved by Netflix a few years ago. This is the article about it (I recommend it!)
So, about the viewing.
We're already doing good, the show went back to top 20 and now 30 according to televisionstats, but we need new viewers. The thing we've been doing until now, but more.
What do we think about actually doing a marketing effort? As in, with ads and everything? Mostly online probably, but with fundraising either way. The billboard thing seems nice but not just that.
I'm not from the US or UK so this is an idea that I could help plan only to an extent. But I'm really wondering, because as a group we may be able to do the marketing Netflix didn't. Not just as in "save the show' but "WATCH the show"!
I'm thinking artists and editors to make the content, someone with performance knowledge to make the campaigns, and targetting audiences across platforms — YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
Is this something?
Not sure who needs to see this, but if a Service Dog starts backing into you, pushing you away from their handler, or they sit down at a leash distance from their handler
You Should Move Away.
They are performing a task known as "spacing" or "blocking" that helps reduce or prevent anxiety in their handler.
They are NOT "asking for pets" or being disobedient or asking to be spoken to. All you have to do is stay back from the dog and handler.
This is not a capslock PSA because I'm not sure how many people that don't have a SD actually know this is a trained task.
oh no, i just happened to stumble upon Netflix's address, and accidentally posted it everywhere so it's super easy to find! i sure hope people don't write letters about Dead Boy Detectives and make their mailbox explode from overcapacity! that would be so unfortunate 😱
