Why do people behave like Edwin is the main character and Charles is just there to be his "bestie" low key making him "sidekick"??? Because it's starting to feel racist.
They go through the same amount of development throughout the show. Both of them have major story lines.
Just watched an interviewer introducing George and Jayden as "George, who plays Edwin. Jayden, who plays Edwin's best friend Charles."
I NEED YOU TO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU WHITE BOY. THEY BOTH BELONG TO EACH OTHER EQUALLY.
I love Edwin. But Charles is not his accessory. Treating Charles as anything less than equal feels racist.
This is my official request for Dead Boy Detectives prompts!
Preferably about Edwin and Charles. Especially more about Charles but not necessarily.
I just finished my fanfic and I'm desperate for new ideas, I want to keep writing about them.
Comments, ask box, and dm, are all open.
Any prompt would be appreciated🫶
Finally finished my Dead Boy Detectives fic!
It's just fluff about Edwin and Charles. The boys took control over my head I can't write or read anything else.
Warnings: none. It's just fluff.
Word count: 2,000 words.
Relationships: Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland, Edwin Payne&Charles Rowland.
Summary: After the hell confession, Edwin tries to refrain from touching Charles, to not make him feel like he's overstepping the bounds of a normal friendship.
Charles, that loves touch, is sick of it. And confronts Edwin what's going on?
(Including kissing and cuddling later).
Or basically just Edwin tries to stay away and Charles pulling him close.
(Very fluff no plot).
Heavily inspired by this tumblr post.
The people that are Fizarolli fans from Helluva Boss are also Charles Rowland fans I said what I said.
Edwin probably had a deep technological shock when he came back.
I imagine myself Charles the 80s boy is teasing him for not getting along with technology well (teasing affectionately, of course).
Crystal the gen z is laughing at both of them.
My deepest apologies for my followers that followed me for other stuff like bat family or hell-verse content and all I talk about is dbd now.
(This show is so good just give it a chance).
I know most of the DBDA fandom probably thinks at paineland at the trope of "x fell first, xx fell harder" is Edwin falling first and Charles now falling harder; because Edwin was obviously shown first to express his feelings.
But consider this-
Charles falling in love with Edwin slowly a little more every day, falling a bit deeper for him every day they spent side by side.
And at some point later- Edwin is crushing hard. Realizing "oh shit, I love him-" and falling hard in a chaotic storm of feeling he doesn't know how to deal with, he's a complete mess.
Idk, I personally prefer the second version more but both options can be great interpretations of their dynamic.
A conversation I had with my friend while they were watching dbd ep 4:
My friend: (learning about Charles' backstory) oh god did that boy ever had a happy day in his life?
Me, meaning it with all of my heart: anyday that Edwin was there.
Me realizing a few moments later: oh wait in his life? So no.
Dead Boy Detectives's fanarts artists- where are all the fanarts of Charles wearing a skirt?
How did people got "a straight guy rejecting a gay guy" from "I can't answer you right now but we have forever to figure it out" Charles Rowland I'll never understand.
No.
Is anyone actually straight in the Neil Gaiman Cinematic Universe?
(In the middle of watching Dead Boy Detectives finally)
Hey Death honey I love you girl but I need you to leave my emotional support gays alone.
Celebratory Dead Duck Detectives
So I have this now. The ducks started as a joke (not my idea or designs they were done by namacofazbear) I don't think it's a joke anymore.
Have these two sitting on my bookshelf and they also make me think of Edwin and Charles
I am mixing to of fav fandoms cause I can.
Sirius, James, and Charles who talk about starting a band all the time but never do it.
Regulus, Remus, Lily, and Edwin sit and read or talk about there partners.
Crystal and Marlene would be amazing together. The levels of sass through the roof.
Barty and Evan would be try to talk to the cat king so much thinking he is so cool. Might smoke together honestly.
Pandora, Niko, and Monty would be a trio I would like to see. Just the vibes there.
Peter and Monty are two that have sort of this opposite going parallel (I say like I know what that means) and I think that would be interesting. Also know I am think of astrology loving Peter and that slays.
Ester and Bellatrix would be in a competition. Not sure for what but they would.
Random question but Dead Boy Detectives and Muppets. Who would be the only human? Jenny or the night nurse would be funny but I also made myself laugh thinking the cat king trying to seduce Kermit the frog. Who would play who? I feel like Gonzo or Kermit fit Charles. No idea why just do. I also think Miss Piggy would be amazing as Ester.
Shout out to the discord server for having this conversation before this posted. We have Monty-Rizzo, Charles-Gonzo, Kashi-Fozzi, Edwin-Kermit, Ester-Miss Piggy, Tragic Mick-Sam the Eagle, The Cat King-Pepe the prawn, Niko-Walter or Bean Bunny, Maxine-Crazy Horse or The swedish chef, Spider Demon-Animal, Crystal-Camilla, Dandelion spirts-Statler and Walford, Postman-the news man, The night nurse-Human, Jenny-Human or the swedish chef, the dragon mascot-Rowlf, twitchy Richie-beaker.
Reason why Edwin is the brain and not Charles
Charles: If I saw a portal, I would enter it, no questions asked. Edwin: ...
More on this Charles is an orange starburst fan and Edwin likes the red ones
Niko is a pink starburst fan and Crystal is a yellow starburst fan
The ride or die friend. He will and has gone to hell and back for Edwin. That is the bestie you need in your life. He is also the one making the rash and quick decisions to protect his friends. Golden retriever vibes.
Let's fucking go y'all. I am so pumped to read this
Like look how cool this is
It even includes a foreword by Steve Yockey
I think Edwin would love to love at snow from inside while reading a nice book or watching Scooby Doo with Niko. Charles probably would hate the thought of getting cold (dieing form hypothermia and all) but would love to run around and make snowmen. He would probably have a big puffy jacket he wears to go outside when it snows even though he is a ghost and I don't know if he can feel the temperature like the living. I can see the whole gang getting into a snowball fight and laughing. Edwin would act so offended when the first snowball is thrown at him (probably by Charles to get him to play) and would throw one right back in retaliation.
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:
Do you think Edwin and Charles like or dislike snowy weather?
What if Crystal was a poet and just made random poems while being in Port Townsend to cope. I think it would go something like this
"Tired of asking,
Who I am.
Where I am from.
What have I been and what I will become.
What does knowing all this mean anyway?"
Came up with this idea while writing a fic. Is thing flirting? on ao3 if you want to check it out.
She would probably ask for a word that rhymes with another to the group and Edwin would have like 5 but would be confused why she is asking. Niko would read like everything she has ever written and love each one. Charles would try to write a poem with her and it would be kinda bad but he tried and that's what matters.
The face Charles makes when Edwin told him the bell hurts them. Crying. You can just see the realization that he hurt them and that is what the scream was. You can see that guilt on his face. He doesn't want to hurt them but he did and he hates it
He full on pauses. (I know these photos are terrible but it's all I got) :( Oh Charles no one can make me hate you
She has finished the show and has redeemed herself. She now loves Niko and Monty. She still hates Crystal, to quote "with burning fiery passion". She is upset Edwin and Charles didn't kiss.
These are also text she sent me watching it. I was laughing. She did sign the petition
I have made a friend watch Dead Boy Detectives. She is only on episode 4 but hates everyone except Charles and maybe Ester. She is saying that Edwin should already know that he is gay and shouldn't be having this thing now. She very admittedly hates Crystal and thinks Niko is annoying. I might have to fight her. At least she asked if Edwin and Charles where dating like 10 minutes in.
