Thank you so much for submitting these questions!

1. My favourite character

It's Charles. Yeah it's very obvious from my profile picture, I'm a Charles fan all the way.

The moment I met him in the show/ trailer I got possessed. I knew he was going to be my favourite character and I was right. Also I'm in love(/nsrs. Well, okay, maybe a bit, but mostly not!) with Jayden Revri. God the eyes of this boy. And his face. And his everything.

Yeah Charles is very much my favourite.

After him probably Edwin Crystal and Jenny, with no particular order. I can't decide.

I'm extremely obsessed with Edwin as well, although he is vastly different from my usual type of characters, because a fencer (in my heart, George also confirmed! And I relate to him on that) + he's not afraid to be bitchy and he's so iconic and so many others stuff that surprised me about him. I love him.

Also Crystal. My love. My girl. Complex female characters my beloved.

And Jenny is an icon. What else can I say?

5. Character I relate to the most.

Well, it's Charles. Sorry the answer is clear cut lol.

His situation with his parents reminds me of my own a lot (unfortunately). I relate to him on so many deep and emotional levels. Some of the episodes hit me strong. I thought 3 was going to be the peak where we get to see his trauma although it's not a lot, and then episode 4 hit me like a train. Episode 5 (especially the end) has my heart.

I relate to Charles on so many levels.

I also relate to Crystal a lot, her journey is relatable. I feel her.

She's just as messy and complicated as anyone else in there, I get her.

7. Favourite headcanon from the fandom

Demiromantic Charles! I talked about it before and also tagged the post I saw it in that explains it really well. I love this. I wish I saw more fanfics exploring this.

Also I wish I saw more gender queer Charles Rowland.

But mostly demi Charles. I can't think of any other hc I saw I really like yet.

15. My favourite line

There are many, many, hilarious lines I dearly love. But I am going to go with an angsty pick, I think the line that broke me the most was a line Charles said in episode 1 I didn't see anyone talking about I think holds a major part of his character- "you are the smart one, and I'm the one that does shit like this." It deeply hurt me.

Let's talk about it for a moment, shall we?

Because Charles is smart. Many times he finds the solutions to their cases, Edwin often praises him for his brilliant mind and George himself said in a cameo only people he thinks truly deserves it- a compliment from Edwin is the highest compliment ever.

Charles is smart.

But he sees himself as this reckless, foolish, charicaristic. This sentence comes from so much self hatred. When things get complicated we see him turn again into the aggressive image he has of himself. He sees himself as waste. He holds Edwin at the highest place ever in his eyes "you are the smart one, you are better than this, you are better than me, don't step to my level I'm trash you are so much more I will do it for you" and it just hurts me how much he throws himself away in the process.

Seeing this line again in a rewatch and realise it definitely was a stab to the chest, now that it's known how much he hates himself.

I wish we talked about episode 1 more, it's a great episode that sets out so many important stuff for the rest of the show. We just skip over it because so much happened so quickly but there are so much stuff we need to unpack there.

You've probably heard that Dead Boy Detectives got cancelled.

What you maybe haven't heard is that there is an extremely active ongoing campaign to try and get it renewed. You might have seen our billboards around lately. ✨

Want to join the campaign? Here are some things you can do to help: 💀 There's a petition to get the show renewed! It has 21,000+ signatures and counting. You can sign it here. Ask your friends to sign. Ask your family!

💀: Follow this Tumblr! Since you're here on Tumblr already, it's the easiest way to get news about the campaign.

💀: Join our Save Dead Boy Detectives Discord server. This is where a lot of the planning happens. We post regular updates and easy action items that members can take to help make the call for renewal more visible.

💀: Participate in our letter-writing initiative. Sending physical mail is one of the very best ways to get a company's attention.

💀: Keep streaming the show! Watch numbers are a huge indication to streaming services that there's audience demand.

As the cast and crew have said, never say never. Let's give them all a chance to finish telling their story. ✨

“Obviously, Despair is now connected to Edwin, so it would be fun to explore where that goes after their encounter,” she says. With the show now officially a part of Netflix’s “The Sandman” universe, Yockey says a second season would be a great time to rope in Desire (Mason Alexander Park), who could be a tempting figure to put in front of the Dead Boys as they build relationships beyond their friendship.

I'm seriously freaking out about all the potential character interactions y'all I'm gonna need medical support to get through season 2

Update I forgot to make: started writing the love potion fic about two days ago. But I still work on several other fics at the same time. Stay tuned!

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.

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

Blitz is probably mixed, it's implied in the plot. And there aren't any rules to how mixed people should look like. It's possible they're the same type but look different if they're of a mixed breed.

And do you have any proof Fizzarolli is also mixed? I didn't see anyone mentioning that /Gen, I'm just curious.

From what I could understand there was no information about Fizz's parents or where he came from, correct me if I'm wrong. (I wish there was more information I'm dying to know)

Why the hell does Blitz have those weird spike things on his tail and back??? No one else has them. It might just be the type of Imp he is, (I think Striker called him a Bull Imp?) But Fizz is the same type and he doesn't have them???

deeply unlikeable and unpleasant female characters are actually so important for the ecosystem and also as a good litmus test over if a person is Weird about women or not

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.
