I haven't seen anyone talking about this so this is my time to shine and finally find a use for my autism. Molly is a (very old) slang word for homosexual. It's from the same origins of "Mary-Ann", sort of (Moll was a pet form of Mary).
When Edwin says "perhaps we should follow up with this Molly character." He literally just means a homosexual person, that's what he thinks he is saying.
Yeah there is no point just enjoy this information.
Payneland is literally the opposite of "the feeling was friendship but neither of them had ever experienced it." They've been in love for 30+ years but don't know how to differentiate that from friendship because neither of them have ever experienced it
put three f/f ships you like in the tags. doesnt matter how obscure or embarrassing the media, go for it. and no, your m/m ship doesnt count as women
do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.
18, 13, 8[Charles] for the asks game please! :3
18. Something that scares me about the show:
Honestly I don't get scared easily. This show made me very emotional yeah but I watch horror movies all the time for fun so there wasn't anything there that had that effect on me really.
The only thing that scares me about the show is if Netflix won't renew it for a second season (and third, and forth, but let's start at least from a second season).
That has me terrified I'm actually shaking. I can't let that happen I love this show so much.
13. Fave proposed plot line I have seen:
Well not exactly a full plot, I saw all sort of stuff that were really interesting, but something I saw that really catched me on was Charles subconsciously flirting with Edwin. Not even realising he's doing that but he's just flirting with him. And then going to a crisis over it trying to realise his feelings.
Charles falling back slowly, without even understanding, but he falls slowly and he falls hard he wants to make sure his feelings, acting extremely careful about it.
That sort of talking I saw people say needs to be in season 2 is my favourite type of stuff I would like to see there.
Don't have any specific plot idea though. I'm just trusting the writers because what they've done so far was brills.
8. A hc (Charles):
Not original hc of mine, but demiromantic Charles!
I totally see him faking romantic feelings for girls mistaking sexual attraction to romantic attraction because he thinks he's supposed to fall in love with girls, until the feelings become reality, but don't think about being attracted to boys because of course boys are handsome isn't it like that for everyone? It doesn't mean he's romantically attracted to them he just finds them hot. That's normal right?.
Until Edwin comes along and then he's starting to develop real feelings for a guy.
So this in a post somewhere that explained it way better than I am and I really just adopted it into my core beliefs.
you're awesome ❤️❤️❤️ love you
🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 awwwww! Thanks, I needed that <3🩵
Love you, corpse <3. Best cannibalistic corpse I know.
Now that I'm finished with my fencing fic, which fic should I write next?
Idk mates I'm mostly going out with a vibe but I'm curious to see Tumblr's preference. I have like 20 fics ideas, this is just what I feel like the most right now.
Doing this
I'm so good at decisions you guys
Simon and Esther makes me feel.... Mixed feelings.
But I love most characters in the show, it's really hard to hate when so many of them are written so beautifully.
(this cop I'll hate any day though, idc. Acab. She's bad at her job).
Anyway
I hope you all will have a great year!
Keep screaming and keep shouting about our beloved show🗣️
No matter what will happen, Netflix needs to know how pissed we are.
Here are the ways you can help (be sure to read until the end).
I'm not sure how many people here on Tumblr are also over on DBDA Twitter, but there have been MANY developments in the last 24 hours and it's important for all of us to be on the same page if we're going to have a chance in hell of saving our show.
First and foremost, we need to get Dead Boy Detectives in the Netflix Top 10 again. This means running it as much as possible. Read about that below:
(SOURCE x)
As the graphic says, the goal is to have it running on a loop constantly, as much as you physically can. Be sure to have some level of volume on or else it won't count. If you're on Twitter be sure to post your rewatch (photos of your tv, commentary, etc.) with the hashtag #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives !!!
Also, there's no better time to do this: the Tweet below brings up a great point! 👍
(SOURCE x)
Second, and easiest thing: KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW AND CREATING CONTENT ABOUT THE SHOW. Analysis, fics, fanart, shitposts, gif sets, memes, tik tok videos, so on - do not stop! Reblog other people's stuff and talk about it! Give fics kudos, comment, make fic rec lists and post that WIP or sketch! The most important thing to remember is to TAG YOUR POSTS AND CREATIONS. We need to trend!!! On Tumblr make sure you continue tagging your posts as you probably already are (look at my tags on this post if you need help, and remember not to use "DBD" on here because that is another fandom! We use DBDA here). On Twitter you want to use the hashtag #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives for the rewatch and #SaveDeadBoyDetectives is a popular one, too. You can also use #DeadBoyDetectives. Hell, I usually use all three if I can! Hashtag every post you make about Dead Boys, no matter how annoying or "cringe" you may feel. Flood the fucking tag and do not stop.
Third, everyone needs to sign and keep circulating the petition. We've surpassed 5,000 signatures in a day which is fantastic, but we need more. Get everyone you know to sign it; tell them it takes no more than 15 seconds. Be annoying until they do it just to shut you up.
Fourth, request "Dead Boy Detectives Season 2" through Netflix's support website. It's a small thing but if we all do this a couple times a day it will get their attention. They really do vet these suggestions, and an influx of requests for a canceled show will raise eyebrows.
Lastly, if you decide to write Netflix (via email or a letter - their office address has been floating around) please remember to stay concise and professional. Don't curse at them, don't call names. State that you are disappointed with the cancellation of the show, maybe add an anecdote about what it meant to you, and I would even recommend attaching some articles that emphasize people's displeasure with the platform abandoning shows on a whim and Netflix's flippant attitude toward queer shows in particular. Dead Boy Detective Agency on Twitter has retweeted every article on this topic so far, you can find their page here.
You can also use graphics such as the ones below to affirm that the cancellation was unjust.

I know this feels like a lot: know your limits and take care of yourself. Whether you do every single one of these things or just a few of these things, every llittle bit helps!
Even in the worst case scenario where nothing changes, this gesture will mean so much to everyone who made this show. We owe it to the writers, cast, crew, and each other to TRY. We can all agree that this show deserves at least another season and if Netflix isn't going to do it, they need to be open to selling it to someone who will. We cannot keep allowing them to axe these queer and diverse shows with little regard for their customers and their employees, but also because it sets a harmful standard in the industry that is destroying television.
Let's crack this case and bring our agency back! I truly believe in this community!! 💜 We can do this!!
If there are any spelling errors or issues with links let me know! I did this on mobile because I want to mobilize this information as quickly as possible! I'll be adding on to this with new developments and can answer any questions you all might have. Lets save our show!
Fineeeee I'll write the love potion one you fluff whores. I get it, I get it, you want a bunch of kisses and shenanigans.
I agree but it's the most complicated one!
Definitely the best idea though, but it's the longest.
But I'll start it. I don't think you'll leave me if I won't.
Now that I'm finished with my fencing fic, which fic should I write next?
