I know that after watching this scene we were all collectively struck by him having a sword in his bag and still choosing to fight with the bat. But can we talk about how precise he has to be with the bat that he can just swing it like that on that snake??? The snake attacked him from behind, he didn't see it since he wasn't facing it. He struck just by listening to its movements. AND not only did he land that hit successfully, the snake got fully slammed and swerved to the side. That hit was bonkers, and it definitely required a lot of physical strength as well. I know we all joke about how Charles is good at taking hits and how he does shit without thinking. I honestly disagree, I think he has good tactics, he's actually quite strategic when it comes to fighting against something or someone.

thinking about how much time has passed for Niko here; how much she has been through to get her to this moment.

and here are these boys who saved her so long ago. Her case is only just closed to them and her death is still so raw

Niko&CK bestfriendism sketches continuation

steve you can't just casually confirm one of the wild little theories i believed in was correct right after the show is cancelled my emotions can't handle it

Advocating for Niko and CK's bestfriendism yet again

Such a cute show! Crystal, dear, come back home the kids miss you!

immortal companions

Doing my obligatory mourning re-watch, and we know jayden is beautiful but I want to appreciate his muppet faces. so expressive, beloved (also his earring is absolutely a cross)

We live in a terrible time loop

Idea: @knifesimmons, my execution

charles appreciation post because look at him!

OH.

Rampardos + Cranidos

Shiny Archeops + Archen

Telfar AW16 for Made

The fact that Esther literally never bothered to learn the protagonists names for the whole season

Super in character. Truly no other villain is doing it like her

Creatures, creatures as far as the eye can see !

When I was initially approached to work on WondLa, I was told that I would be helping to design a vast array of characters - the majority of which would not be human.

So basically it was a dream come true.

dbd discovered Lucas Gage for me and I'm such a stupid fan of his I can't

I want to see him everywhere, but

even more, I DREAM that he and Phoebe will take up scripts again and rewrite the entire classic american cinema in their crazy way

Down low is now my favorite movie and I didn't expect that there would ever be something that would make me reconsider my view of pretty woman but but the Down low team did it. They're amazing. They are great. It's a great movie.

These people should get more attention. These media should receive more attention. I know what I'm talking about.

NIKO SASAKI AND EDWIN PAYNE Dead Boy Detectives (2024-)

these words are so absolutelyyyy accurate

and I'm sad that these are things that have to be said out loud : (

people have forgotten how to immerse themselves in the media, like it's literally right in the face come on guys : (

catking such an amazing and their interaction with Edwin is the same as the one shown and the one that may be in the sequel

Sort of bums me out that so many people didn't seem to Get the Cat King so here are my thoughts:

So let's start with Edwin's crime. He uses something the cat desires (a sardine) to lure the cat to him and then uses an enchanted string to trap the cat with magic. He demands the answer to a question in exchange for its release. Edwin knows it is dangerous to use magic on a cat, that it violates Rules but he does it anyway.

Binding a creature and agreeing to set them free under a certain condition is very Classic Fairytale. its also a favourite trope of Neil Gaiman's (he did not write this show but his influence is there). In both the Sandman and his novel Stardust (and the film adaptation) trapping a creature with magic and demanding a task/favour in exchange for their freedom is an extremely important plot point. Edwin binding a cat and demanding an answer in exchange is exactly in line with this Fairytale trope

And so is the Cat Kings response. The Cat King is a trickster. What he does to Edwin is exactly what Edwin did to one of his subjects. He entices Edwin, he binds him with magic and when Edwin demands to be free he turns his own words against him "why all the fuss for one little spell?" Edwin did something wrong. He imposed his will/magic on another creature and the Cat King is punishing him for it in a way that is poetic. Its fairytale. its trickster. its classic.

I've also seen people complain that the task Edwin was given 'count all the cats' is 'impossible'...except its fucking not. Edwin does it. He does it so well he actually BEATS the Cat King ("you didn't count yourself" Are.You.Kidding.Me. Classic!Fairytale!Vibes!)

The Cat Kings choice to bind Edwin to Port Townsend is good on so many levels. From a storytelling perspective it forces characters who can travel anywhere in the world to stay in one place, and increases the stakes for these characters who are supposed to be on the run. From a genre perspective...its an excellent use of fairytale tropes using both Rules of magic, a protagonist who is unkind to a seemingly weak creature who is punished by a more powerful law, a binding, a task to complete, etc

Which just leaves the character perspective which it ALSO does really fucking well and introduces the final aspect to the Cat Kings character. He's seductive. He is responsible for Edwin, 100 years old ghost boy, finally unpacking his internalized homophpbia. he is the catalyst (cat pun not intended)

He pushes Edwin, challenges him, at times literally forces the truth out of Edwin, but he really never does violate his consent. Significantly Edwin is attracted to him, like its an important part of his character that he is. He may not like the Cat King but he is attracted to him!

The Cat King is such a great example of a trickster, a morally grey character who imposes a sense of justice on Edwin after he crosses a line, but also has his own selfish interests and meddles. Hes so important to the plot of the show, to Edwin's character arc, to the genre.

And he's just fun. Unapologetically queer, powerful, complicated. Silly little outfits. Petty cat behavior. Deep heart.

Some of you just didn't get it. And I'm sorry for you. because the Cat King is Excellent actually.

niko from dead boys detectives!! i rly like the show is silly fun give it a watch!!
