The case of the 36 questions

For the 1 year anniversary of the show being canceled, I’ve put together a list of 36 questions (one for each year Edwin and Charles have known each other) about the show that you all can hopefully have fun answering. I know I love talking about the show, so I thought yall might enjoy a list of questions to use for an excuse to talk about it. You can answer all of them, you can answer some of them, you can let people pick numbers for questions to ask you, whatever you like. Just have fun with it.

Who’s your favorite character? 

Do you have a least favorite character? 

Which ship is your favorite?

Would you rather watch Scooby Doo with Niko and Edwin, or play Clue with Edwin and Charles? 

Would you rather be a cat, or a crow?  

Would you rather have Charles’ bag of tricks backpack or have the ability to mirror travel?

Would you rather be ripped apart one (1) time by the baby doll spider demon (after which, you would be brought back to life in whatever quality of health you were in before this happened), or have you live with the dandelion sprites in your room for the rest of your life? 

If you could pick a pin (or pins) to add to Charles’ jacket, what would the pin(s) be?

What would Edwin’s absolute least favorite social media platform would be?

Who is Niko’s favorite member of the Scooby Gang? 

Which card would Crystal be in a tarot deck?

Would the Cat King (in human form) chase a laser pointer? 

What was Jenny’s first tattoo?

What type of music would Kashi listen to?

Would the Night Nurse ever answer to the name Charlie? 

Did Esther name her giant snake? If so, what’s it’s name?

Which scene made you the saddest? 

Which detail in the show do you wish they expanded more on?

@netflix

The show Dead Boy Detectives is one of the best shows to ever grace the screen. It's a character-driven supernatural mystery drama featuring excellent plots, pacing, dialogue, costumes, set design, cinematography, and music. The main characters are three-dimensional flawed people with their own secrets, struggles, and arcs for character growth. The show addresses difficult topics while maintaining its humor and message of hope. Characters show strength through listening, compassion, and good detective work, instead of through violence. The show also offers incredible female and POC characters with diverse personalities and strengths, as well as positive queer and neurodivergent representation, something sorely lacking in mainstream culture, which is greatly appreciated by audiences. And this show certainly found its audience. Fans have been literally begging for a second season for over a year, organizing and fundraising, sending letters and putting up billboards in L.A. and Times Square.

So, I have to ask, Netflix... why did you cancel this show?

We won't forget. We won't give up. We won't let this case grow cold. Bring back our show. Our ghosts and our stories matter. Bring our detectives home.

Port Townsend Meetup - Sign Up!

Hello all,

I know we did an interest form before for the meet-up to gauge general interest. We now have an actual attendance form for people to complete. This is due to multiple people since then either needing to drop out or saying they are now attending. Plus, the initial interest form didn't include information for contact and some other items. If you are intending to come, please complete this attendance form! (Again, this is a NEW form from the previous interest form. If you completed the interest form before, you still need to complete this NEW form.) As always, if you have any questions, please message.

[savethedeadboys]

Quick reminder that if you've purchased and watched Dead Boy Detectives on Amazon Prime, you can review it there! 💀🔎
