Fun fact: in the 80′s the Dutch Unemployed Union held ‘fridge raids’ to protest against poverty.
They’d find out when a politician of big boss who upheld poverty and starvation wages was speaking at some public even, then they’d carefully break into his house with a LOT of people and they would eat EVERY piece of food in his house and leave the empty dished behind without taking anything else.
I was watching clue (1985) the movie based after the board game when I wondered.
Has Charles seen the movie? Technically, he could've the timelines match up. And if he has did he show edwin?
OMG YES I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS
Hell mates, if you will. Someone he shared a space with for long enough that they got to know each other. The way Edwin talks about hell in episode 5 very much implies he got to know other people there. I made an Oc of a potential hell mate, she’s basically a cowgirl/ Wild West outlaw. Might share more about her at some point, I have the outline of a fic in my head that I may or may not ever write down
I think it would be so interesting if Edwin had a "friend" in Hell. Not someone he was close to, but someone that he ran into regularly and had short frenzied conversations with. I think it would be intreguing if this man were also something absolutely terrible, like a serial killer. But he was another human, and he was in Hell, and he was someone to talk to. So Edwin cared for him, because they were both souls trapped somewhere unimaginable.
Tumblr’s favorite north east ohio lawyer is getting his own movie, and i couldn’t be more thrilled
The boys go “caroling”. Their version of caroling consists of recreating dickens’s a Christmas Carol. They have no shortage of potential victims Scrooges because of cases. In years past, since it’s only been the two of them, Edwin is the ghost of Christmas past, Charles is present, and then Edwin come back to be future because he doesn’t have to speak or show his face. This year Crystal’s powers help them take it to the next level
Another day, another Dead Boy Detectives question! ✨
In the hopes of getting the fandom tag trending and getting more eyes on Dead Boy Detectives, please use the tag "dead boy detectives" when you reblog to reply.
Today's question:
If you could write a holiday episode for season 2, what would be in it?
Interesting theory. Do you have an example?
i think the secret to asking Smart Person questions is to take a dumb question and keep making it dumber until you can't anymore
This but it’s just season two. And Edwin is Jenny’s landlord
Dbda au where jenny can see the boys
every time i listen to “you’re a mean one mr. grinch” i can’t help but sit there and think “what did the grinch do to hurt you?” because dude just stands there for 2 minutes and 58 seconds and drags the grinch into the dirt
Nono. She’s autistic because we said so.
new headcanon unlocked: loto is autistic because i'm autistic and i said so
just remembered this old clickhole video i used to be obsessed with
This post has a lot of interesting words in it, but I’m stuck on the second one:
Rebageled?
I rebageled a couple of images that originated with a user called mother-lee, and then noticed that someone called it out as AI. I went and looked at the blog it came from, deleted the post from my blog, then figured I should post my reason here, because nobody's going to care about why I would do that unless they're following me (and not necessarily then). So:
Even if it wasn't AI, I'm still blocking OP because they're anti-SW. Sex work is work. A LOT of jobs exploit people, and SW is not inherently exploitative.
edwin misses the customs and the etiquette from his times
in early days edwin most likely kept interrupting charles and had to learn to listen, and charles was really messy and had to learn to keep the office tidy
charles would "be grossed out by edwin's first kiss since he now knows monty was a crow lol"
george said that charles would smell minty fresh and jayden said that edwin would smell like oak or wood or something nice and earthy if they had scents and could smell them
george says that the boys wouldn't get too festive around the holidays because they'd be too busy with work, but that edwin would get fascinated by the xmas lights
edwin's favorite food was roasted guinea fowl
in early days the boys went to the cinema a lot and watched detective movies, which was one of the things that sparked the idea of opening the agency together
the boys didn't really have that many big arguments over the years
edwin likes jazz and plays records in the office
in the musical ep there'd be a song called "what i did for love" sang by a drag queen (??)
the boys' wedding vows would include a "till the afterlife do us part" instead of "till death do us part"
if edwin found out charles kept checking up on his parents he would have been a little spooked by it and jealous but would definitely be able to get past it; charles kept it from him bc of what his family life was like and bc edwin has no family to check up on
s2 would have another animation (not a flashback this time)
george made up drag names for them - Charlie's Angel and Edwina Loose (not sure about the spelling but basically edWin orLose)
Wiley coyote is such a blorbo tho
Like this lady gets it
my grandma just tried to pronounce blorbo to ask me what it means.
God gave me my grubby little hands to:
Pick up shinies
Pet moss
Yeet worms off of the sidewalk
Hold frogs like burgers
Stab the ultra rich
I know, it sucks that you can’t find it on any streaming services. You can still pirate it tho
While making dinner tonight, I very very fleetingly, but very seriously and legitimately thought “I should watch Goncharov tonight”
And then I Remembered.
reblog to give the person you reblogged this from a fucking break
My favorite thing about Sweeney Todd is that Sweeney gets into the killing-and-baking people business because he’s a deeply broken man destroyed by an unjust and corrupt system that cost him his freedom and family and has been driven mad by revenge.
And Mrs Lovett does it because somthin wrong with her <3
eggs are most delicious when least touched by fire (so poached, sunny side up, etc declining in quality to over easy, hard boiled). this is because fire cleanses the egg of sin (primary source of flavor). this is also why the objectively most delicious egg is soft boiled (hardened purified exterior traps the delicious sin inside the soft gooey interior), and why scrambled eggs are morally ambiguous
voice-over: Halloween is the one night a year a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it

voice-over: the really hardcore girls only wear lingerie and some kind of animal ears

it does still make me insane specifically how many queer people lovingly embrace astrology. I went to a poetry workshop yesterday that was genuinely quite good but also included an option to disclose astrology designations during introductions and so many people broke out some variation of "I'm a [x] sum but I have a [y] placement and it SHOWS" girl no it doesn't. that's meaningless correlation you completely invented the causation
Vague threats
I love self-referential statements where you just say the name of the thing you wish to express and it counts as having expressed the thing so named. Apologies. Greetings. Fair warning. We should be able to do that with more things, I think.
I hope it’s a trend, I love this
Is this a trend now? We got two bitchy middle-aged witches going around with their pet gay teenagers.
I’m not🥲
finally caught up with dracula daily
I haven’t been able to get the full video but we just celebrated one of our steam locomotives turning 145 by chucking a chocolate cake into her firebox
And then, after seeing all that, he thought “I want to go on a road trip with her. She seems stable😀” like Sir you’re just as insane as she is
Agatha just look fucking insane to Billy when she's still trapped in the spell will never not be funny to me.
