Does Anyone Else Specifically Love Doom Patrol Charles And Edwin? I Need A Series Specifically On Their

i dunno man! maybe it's just "i don't need charles to protect me" "i'd do it anyways, won't i?" and "there's no one else i'd go to hell for"

maybe it's just "she has damage" "shut it, edwin" and "so, you'll be leaving then?" "oi!"

maybe it's just "if we simply killed her, this wouldn't be an issue anymore" and "if she had died last night, i would have no problem with her staying"

maybe it's just "guess you're a lot alike, really" and "well, that sounds a lot like you, doesn't it?"

maybe it's just "you know boys can like like each other, right?" and "it is normal, now" and "it's not 1916 anymore" and "it's not 1916, you know"

maybe it's just charles' baseball bat and charles' cricket bat

maybe it's just larry & edwin chatting about queerness on a beach, and niko & edwin chatting about queerness on a beach

maybe it's just charles throwing a smoke bomb at the afterlife demon, and charles throwing a moltov cocktail at an afterlife demon

maybe it's just the lantern passed on in moments of strength and light and love

maybe it's just the FUCKING PARALLELS between dead patrol and the netflix adaptation that make me FERAL

the fact that Edwin lived in the early 1900s is a fantastic source of comedic potential. he's just constantly saying things that he doesn't realise are completely batshit insane, and the others are just left utterly floored.

like they're all talking and Crystal mentions she's tried cocaine once on a wild night out, and Edwin, who used to get that shit medically prescribed at the drop of a hat is like ??? okay?? hope you felt better, it always used to help me when I had a cold too :) Charles why are you laughing?

Listening to Conan Gray and crying because burning down Netflix HQ is "frowned upon"

!!

Ooh, now that we’ve seen N!Edwin and DP!Edwin talk about Feelings could we see the same with N!Charles and DP!Charles?

As simple as that.

Edwins version

ko-fi

Convinced the Cat King was so in to Edwin because cats always gravitate to the person least likely to pet them. You have crippling allergies and might die if I touch you? You’re my favorite. You’re a repressed little Victorian Edwardian boy who flinches if I show you the slightest affection? Obsessed.

Guys guys guys guys-

Doom Patrol Edwin Paine 🤝 DBD Edwin Payne

Oh I love how Edwin suffers no matter what series, really pay homage to his last name

insane how people act like charles is ‘the jealous one’ like edwin didnt spend the whole first episode screaming crying throwing up every time charles looked at crystal and not him

Lowkey had an idea

Crystal: The next person that says "weird flex but okay" is going to get kicked in the shins.

Edwin: Preposterous boast but alas...

Role Reversal. Charles is from 1916. Edwin is from the 80s. Charles dresses formally, maybe a nice waistcoat. Edwin has a modest alternative look going. Charles, after 70 years in hell, smiles through anything to keep from looking broken. Edwin, who'd been living during the HIV/AIDS crisis, would never breathe of or process his sexuality. Maybe they still maintain their brain and brawn dynamic. People just get really confused when this kid gentleman is great at fisticuffs and pulls boxing gloves (or knuckle dusters!) from his bag. They get intimidated by the looks of this dark-clothed twink that chills everyone with a bitchy look and a little spellcasting.

Something about how they still find each other, and themselves, in every universe no matter the circumstances.
