the way that charles seems to be walking on air, schoolgirl-level giddy in the scenes after edwin’s confession instead of awkward or distant. the way he seems soooooo satisfied after all these bouts of jealousy over other guys edwin’s been entangled with because out of all those options he’s the one edwin chose. the way he responds ‘it didn’t’ without needing to think about it for a single second when edwin expresses his fear that he’s made him uncomfortable by confessing. the way he’s flirting with him by the end of the finale, teasing about how charming his smile is to the guy who he knows very well has been charmed by him. charles rowland you are not subtle
oh wow that’s so sweet
“one of your girls” by troye sivan is edwin’s love letter to charles
HEAR ME OUT OKAY OKAY
1. who is constantly the woman in disguise? EDWIN
2. “everybody loves you, baby” charles is constantly looking for approval and even when he dislikes monty at some point charles says AND i QUOTE “See, Edwin? Everyone likes me eventually.” why??? because everybody loves him
3. “you get the key to my heart and i mean it” edwin is literally in love with him so this lyric is pretty explanatory
4. overall the song is about desiring someone you can’t have because of societal expectations, so edwin wanting to be fem presenting so he could be with charles fits perfectly with the idea that charles is someone he can’t have because he’s a boy.
i have more to my delusion but idk if y’all are interested in hearing it (p.s. sorry for the nonsense)
"Read to me, Edwin"
I remember reading a nice Fanfiction where Charles could only relax and calm down if Edwin was reading to him but sadly I forgot to save it😫 but yes that's my headcanon too. Specially under emotional stress Edwin's voice is what soothes him and grounds him the most.
Can’t believe 3 separate men wanted to fuck Edwin so bad they went and died about it. Lololol the cat king lost one of his 9 lives in an attempt to save Edwin. Monty had his chest clawed open before being transformed back into a crow - also because he was trying to save Edwin. Simon was so filled with repressed gay longing for Edwin that he attempted to ritually sacrifice him and got sucked into the pits of hell for it. Like Local Edwardian Ghost Boy so attractive he has a body count. 3 dead, more injured.
i think charles wholly and sincerely believed he went to rescue edwin from hell in a platonic way. but moreover i think he's vaguely aware that if he doesn't babble "btw i'm devoted to you body and soul" weekly he will fucking combust, so i also bet he's been waiting to sprout stuff like that orpheus and eurydice line since he caught sight of edwin curled up in a ball in the dollhouse. his mind may be repressed, but his mouth wouldn't allow him to leave the worst place on the astral plane without saying romantic shit as a counterattack. it wouldn't dare. i say, king of running up that hill and rolling down into the rom-com mystery inc abyss
I know we make jokes about Edwin’s harem but it’s deeply tragic how every man who has ever desired Edwin romantically has also hurt him in profound ways. Simon is the reason Edwin was sent to hell. Monty abused his trust and nearly got him and Charles killed. The Cat King manipulated his repressed attraction and leashed him like a pet, keeping him trapped in a town with a murderous witch. All the while, the man Edwin actually loves, the man who has been nothing but kind and gentle and devoted towards him, does not love him back. Not in that way. Something Something Love is a punishment for not having been strong enough to remain alone.
Edwin, setting down a card: Ace of spades Charles, pulling out an Uno card: +4 Niko, pulling out a Pokémon card: Jolteon, I choose you Crystal, trembling: What are we playing
i love that dbd acknowledges that edwin and charles have 30+ years of "noodle incidents" to confuse crystal with. imagine the gang is looking through old cases for info they think might be useful and its just:
edwin: check the case of the courthouse
charles: was that the one where we got arrested or the one where we got married?
crystal: im sorry- what?!
edwin: no, the courthouse was the one where you tried to receive your own life insurance
crystal: nonono backtrack a second- when were you two going to tell me about this
charles: ok technically we didn't get married, lewis and gina turner did, but-
crystal: im not talking about that
crystal: im talking about edwin having a criminal record
-two days later-
crystal: wait you tried to get your own life insurance
edwin: he got in a rather embarrassing argument with a receptionist over the issue
charles: its why im not allowed to be the woman anymore
edwin: indeed, we used to play the stationary game for the role
crystal: i have so many questions but lets start with this, the stationary game??
charles: rock paper scissors
I NEED more dead boy detectives in my life
I NEED more Charles Rowland and Edwin Payne
I NEED more Crystal Palace Surname Von Hoverkraft
I NEED more Jenny Green and The Night Nurse
I NEED more wacky cases
I NEED to see them healing from their trauma
I NEED to know what’s going on with Niko Sasaki!
I NEED to see them figure out what the rest means!
I NEED more of them looking at each other like this
I don’t think you understand. This is a NEED, not a WANT!
edwin getting tired of crystal's jokes about things that would kill a victorian edwardian child and snarking back: "we had aluminium in our bread, boracic acid in milk, and arsenic in our wallpapers. if anything, i doubt a contemporary would survive my times"
charles is grinning in the background thinking my husband is such a bitch and i love it
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.
just another day at the agency
"Around the sun and around again. You seem to look right through me. Another year being your best friend. Feels like you always knew me. And I'm so proud to call you mine. Feels like I know you from another life"
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!
