Dead Boy Detective Agency - Tumblr Posts
bro Edwin grew up in the 1900’s getting prescribed pure heroin for the common cold- i need the fic where Crystal gets her hands on some ghost alcohol from Tragic Mick and Niko vehemently insists they play Never Have I Ever only to discover Edwin has a much higher tolerance to alcohol then any of them thought
Painland Week Day 2. Myths/Legends
"Orpheus" and "Eurydice" by Vincent Lima
Adding to my list:
For Orpheus!Edwin, image Dream’s despair in learning his son died the around the same time he was captured, they were so close to being together again, if had noticed him before, what could have changed…
With Eurydice!Edwin, what if he did notice, but when he tried to search out his son, Dream discovered that Edwin was alone in this life. All he could do was give his son’s lover peace in Edwin’s dreams, believing that he would be better off not knowing his former life. For without his Orpheus, Eurydice would always be lonely.
Cont. Because of his time captured, Morpheus believed that Edwin/Eurydice lived a simple life, not knowing that he died and found his Orpheus
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.
Since Dead Boy Detectives is trending for some reason I thought I’d reblog this
Don’t forget to request a new season for Dead Boy Detectives through Netflix!!!
Keep the fandom alive, keep creating art and fics and having thoughts!!
Ive never been in a new fandom like i have with this one and im not gonna let it die
hey, google isn't helping me out much so i figured i'd ask here
does anyone know if info@account.netflix.com is the email you send general complaints about.. topics.. (i'm going to war for dead boy detectives)
i've found a lot of other emails but i don't know which one is right for this/which one will actually maybe possibly work
say it with me
“save dead boy detectives”
'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!' ⊹ ࣪ ˖
ATTENTION DEAD BOYS FANDOM:
We have some unfinished business and a case to solve: The Case of the Curious Cancellation! 💀🔎
Here are the ways you can help (be sure to read until the end).
I'm not sure how many people here on Tumblr are also over on DBDA Twitter, but there have been MANY developments in the last 24 hours and it's important for all of us to be on the same page if we're going to have a chance in hell of saving our show.
First and foremost, we need to get Dead Boy Detectives in the Netflix Top 10 again. This means running it as much as possible. Read about that below:
(SOURCE x)
As the graphic says, the goal is to have it running on a loop constantly, as much as you physically can. Be sure to have some level of volume on or else it won't count. If you're on Twitter be sure to post your rewatch (photos of your tv, commentary, etc.) with the hashtag #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives !!!
Also, there's no better time to do this: the Tweet below brings up a great point! 👍
(SOURCE x)
Second, and easiest thing: KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW AND CREATING CONTENT ABOUT THE SHOW. Analysis, fics, fanart, shitposts, gif sets, memes, tik tok videos, so on - do not stop! Reblog other people's stuff and talk about it! Give fics kudos, comment, make fic rec lists and post that WIP or sketch! The most important thing to remember is to TAG YOUR POSTS AND CREATIONS. We need to trend!!! On Tumblr make sure you continue tagging your posts as you probably already are (look at my tags on this post if you need help, and remember not to use "DBD" on here because that is another fandom! We use DBDA here). On Twitter you want to use the hashtag #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives for the rewatch and #SaveDeadBoyDetectives is a popular one, too. You can also use #DeadBoyDetectives. Hell, I usually use all three if I can! Hashtag every post you make about Dead Boys, no matter how annoying or "cringe" you may feel. Flood the fucking tag and do not stop.
Third, everyone needs to sign and keep circulating the petition. We've surpassed 5,000 signatures in a day which is fantastic, but we need more. Get everyone you know to sign it; tell them it takes no more than 15 seconds. Be annoying until they do it just to shut you up.
Fourth, request "Dead Boy Detectives Season 2" through Netflix's support website. It's a small thing but if we all do this a couple times a day it will get their attention. They really do vet these suggestions, and an influx of requests for a canceled show will raise eyebrows.
Lastly, if you decide to write Netflix (via email or a letter - their office address has been floating around) please remember to stay concise and professional. Don't curse at them, don't call names. State that you are disappointed with the cancellation of the show, maybe add an anecdote about what it meant to you, and I would even recommend attaching some articles that emphasize people's displeasure with the platform abandoning shows on a whim and Netflix's flippant attitude toward queer shows in particular. Dead Boy Detective Agency on Twitter has retweeted every article on this topic so far, you can find their page here.
You can also use graphics such as the ones below to affirm that the cancellation was unjust.

I know this feels like a lot: know your limits and take care of yourself. Whether you do every single one of these things or just a few of these things, every llittle bit helps!
Even in the worst case scenario where nothing changes, this gesture will mean so much to everyone who made this show. We owe it to the writers, cast, crew, and each other to TRY. We can all agree that this show deserves at least another season and if Netflix isn't going to do it, they need to be open to selling it to someone who will. We cannot keep allowing them to axe these queer and diverse shows with little regard for their customers and their employees, but also because it sets a harmful standard in the industry that is destroying television.
Let's crack this case and bring our agency back! I truly believe in this community!! 💜 We can do this!!
If there are any spelling errors or issues with links let me know! I did this on mobile because I want to mobilize this information as quickly as possible! I'll be adding on to this with new developments and can answer any questions you all might have. Lets save our show!
I'm honestly grieving the show.
It was one of the best shows netflix has ever put out, amazing enough to get me to run to resurrect my tumblr after years of not using it to be a part of its fandom.
I've only ever been in 1 fandom in my life before dbda, and genuinely thought I'd never find something that would grip me enough to make me want to engage with its community as much as I did in my previous fandom.
But then, after 6 years, Dead Boy Detectives came along and made me reach for a drawing tablet for the first time in over 2 years. Made me write fics, even though I don't consider myself a writer, and I've never written this many fics this fast. I haven't been this creative in a long time and it's been an indescribable source of joy to me to be able to go back to creating content.
It got me on discord, which always overwhelmed and scared me, but I'm so glad I had given it a chance because I've met so many incredible, funny, talented and supportive people there, and now I can't imagine not talking to them almost every day.
It really was a bright light during a less than ideal time in my life and will still continue to be because I refuse to let it go.
We were given something truly great and can still celebrate it and make and consume fanart, fics, gifs, metas, au ideas, crafts, moodboards etc etc to support each other.
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!
Sending Mail To Netflix
Hey Everyone!
Although this isn’t a current top priority action for the campaign, we have noticed that people have been sending mail to Netflix using the wrong address!
Here is the correct mailing address if you would like to send something!
5808 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90028
-----------------------------------------------------------------
We also are aware of people discussing about sending Red Sea Glass and Spaghetti in the mail and we would like to ask that you DO NOT send those.
We understand the significance of both of those items in the show, but they are both Health and Safety risks and could discredit the entire campaign.
The red sea glass is a cute idea, but MANY PEOPLE have been only calling it "red glass" & do not realize that people on the internet will take things literally.
That could put people receiving the packages at risk to receive sharp objects which is a SAFETY RISK.
Spaghetti, cooked or not is a HEALTH RISK. Just don't send food in the mail please. <3
We want to be seen as a fierce but RESPECTED fandom please. <3
----------------------------------------------------------------
We got a suggestion by a lovely follower about paper origami bowties, with #SaveDeadBoyDetectives written on them and we think this is a lovely idea! We will share an infographic on how to make the bowties later on when sending things in the mail is discussed more thoroughly.
Email Campaign!
🕵️♂️ Today's the day! Excited to kick off the emailing campaign for Dead Boy Detectives. Check out the awesome infographic below for all the details! 📧🔍
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.
Your art is exquisite so I'm glad dbda got you to create again
it’s heartbreaking but dead boy detectives is still my favourite show of all time, and i just want to say that i’m so grateful for the community that bond many and many amazing, creative and loving people together 🤎
this show single-handedly ended my year long artblock and became a source of inspiration during these few months, and of course I would not like to let it go so easily I will continue to create 🔎✨
Oh fr like do they not understand that shows gain viewership over time. You gotta let that shit marinate!!!
New Show is released. New Show is loved by many viewers. New Show is not yet renewed. social media campaigns for renewal of New Show. PSAs to play episodes of New Show on loop in the background to get viewership up for New Show. urgency to binge New Show so they see good views for New Show. pleading and begging and tagging special media accounts to get another season of New Show. New Show is cancelled. social media outcry and petitions to save New Show trend for a week. New Show is not picked up. New Show says cancelled. they start making a New New Show and it all starts the fuck over again. I gotta be honest I'm really fucking tired of this shit
you know what they say, "an occult being simping for edwin keeps him in an eternal gay panick"
*walks up to a gay couple* so who's the brains and who's the "brawn"
Families aren't always just a man and a woman.
Sometimes, a family is an edwardian twink, the brawn (but not really), a psychic, a post-parasite infected nymphet, and their lesbian, butcher mother.
