Dead Boy Detective Netflix - Tumblr Posts
I feel like nobody talks about how long Edwin was in Hell, so I made this graph to show it visually. Each box is one decade

Character You Are Currently Obsessed With.
Feel free to elaborate on why you are obsessed with the character or just list them/picture them without context.
I was tagged by @manicpixiedreamedwins! Thank you :)

As much as I love all the main DBD characters, I had to pick Esther. She's basically the Paris Hilton of witches. She’s so beautifully evil.
Does she have a single redeeming quality? No. Would I fight for her? Without question.
And it’s nice to see a hot woman using a mobility aid and fucking everything up. Also, I physically cannot stop saying "teeth face, what the fuck?" every single time my cat bites his toy.
I don't know how many of these accounts are still active, but I'll tag @uss-genderprise @spacespirk and @jennyandvastraflint
I get the feeling Charles knows he’s in love with Edwin, but he lied to him on the staircase. The way he looks at him outside the window in episode 1, his jealousy towards Monty and the Cat King, these are not friendly actions and I think he knows it. He even jokes about it in the forest in episode 2 when he says he likes Chrystal because she reminds him of Edwin.

Now, why would he lie? I have two main reasons:
1. He was shocked by the confession.
![I Get The Feeling Charles Knows Hes In Love With Edwin, But He Lied To Him On The Staircase. The Way](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ac87b69cb5cc0099aea414f7acb99f96/1dda41dae92ba055-a1/s500x750/f02304ee6120c591fb3b7aec631de0a3ba0777d6.gif)
He didn’t know what to say and he didn’t want to change their relationship on a whim. He makes a joke about Orpheus and Eurydice to try and deflect, but Edwin backs him into a corner when he doubles down. As impulsive as Charles is, he has to be sure about this. It’s too important. He loves Edwin, but he needs time to be sure about everything.
I also think he’s a little afraid of relationships. This leads in to my next point
2. He’s a traumatized child.
![I Get The Feeling Charles Knows Hes In Love With Edwin, But He Lied To Him On The Staircase. The Way](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c387847fd28a699142a3768e95f8cbe3/1dda41dae92ba055-67/s500x750/087440318f910883ff5ff52abcb032941aef7c95.gif)
He’s afraid of being vulnerable or intimate. And why shouldn’t he be? He was abused his whole life and he’s spent his afterlife helping others through their trauma. Think about it, in 51 years of existence, how many real friends do you think he’s had? I count one, maybe two if you count Chrystal.
Not to mention the conversation after the dragons case when he tells Edwin that he doesn’t want to be a bad guy. We as the audience see Charles as a sweet, gentle soul, but he obviously doesn’t see himself that way. Especially after Chrystal yelled at him about his anger issues (but that’s a whole other discussion.)
A lot of people have made this point more eloquently than I have, but my point is that he’s afraid that he’ll hurt Edwin if they get too close
Depending on when Charles fell in love, Edwin could be the love of his life
If Charles and Edwin had to do the whole Orpheus and Eurydice test, Charles would 100% turn back. The only difference is that he would have marched straight back down to Hades to demand another try
I feel like Charles, Edwin, and Monty would make a good throuple once Monty and Charles get to know each other
I feel like insects would be really frustrating in Dead Boy Detectives. Like, there’s a fly that keeps buzzing around your head, so you swat it. Only now there’s a ghost fly still buzzing around you and you have to worry about Death coming to collect the damn fly
I just realized that when we get season 2 of dead boy detectives, Monty, Jenny, Esther, and the Cat King probably won’t be in it
I really hope I’m wrong, but The Umbrella Academy and Star Trek: Picard both ignored all the season 1 side characters and now I can’t trust anyone

I’m sure someone else has probably done this before, but it just fits them so well!!!
I think the reason I love Monty so much is because he’s exactly halfway between Charles and Edwin. He has Edwin’s awkward intellect and Charles’ emotional baggage all in one person bird. He’s an absolute mess and I adore him
Who wants to write season 2 with me? We’re DIYing this bitch

Can I just say that I really hate the Cat King, like he’s so skeevy and gross, every time he comes onscreen I have to mentally prepare myself so I don’t get triggered by the sheer (for lack of a better word) grossness that is him. Also his relationship with Edwin is really weird to me as well, it seems like infatuation that he is confusing for love (I can write a whole essay on this specifically but I’m gonna keep it short) Anyways I really don’t like him
If you like him as a character than no hate to you but he just makes me really uncomfortable
