#crystal dead boy detectives

i bet the residents of port townsend all thought crystal and niko were always just hanging out with two middle-aged white cops

Crystal: You don't think I can fight because I'm a woman!

Charles: I don't think you can fight because you're wearing a wedding dress! For what it's worth, I don't think Edwin could fight in that dress either.

Edwin: Perhaps not, but I would be radiant.

Kinda crazy when crystal said “guys who make gay jokes are actually the biggest pu$$ies” cause that was literally her defending edwin and I think it’s a very underrated scene

One thing I love about Neil Gaiman’s new Netflix show Dead Boy Detectives is Crystal. Crystal is the female lead, and she is MESSY. She makes umpteen mistakes, she hurts people, she’s selfish, she frequently lacks empathy, etc, etc. And I kept expecting Crystal to be revealed as a villain in disguise, because female characters don’t usually get to be messy like Crystal unless they’re bad guys. Male characters can be anti-heroes, sure, but female characters are expected to be likeable.

Crystal is more than a collection of her least likeable character traits, of course. She is brave and tenacious right from the start, and she has growth over the course of the season. But I was fascinated by the ways she isn’t a typical female protagonist. She is allowed to be abrasive, and her sharp edges are allowed to cut other sympathetic characters to ribbons at times. But the narrative never takes the easy way out and makes her a villain for it.

I NEED more dead boy detectives in my life

I NEED more Charles Rowland and Edwin Payne

I NEED more Crystal Palace Surname Von Hoverkraft

I NEED more Jenny Green and The Night Nurse

I NEED more wacky cases

I NEED to see them healing from their trauma

I NEED to know what’s going on with Niko Sasaki!

I NEED to see them figure out what the rest means!

I NEED more of them looking at each other like this

I don’t think you understand. This is a NEED, not a WANT!

Dead Boy Detectives is all fun and games until you realize Charles and Edwin are going to outlive Crystal. She’s going to grow older, maybe settle down, face the hardships of life, age until she can’t remember her loved ones names and the boys will be forever 16 years old.

When Crystal started seeing those lights around Niko's head i thought it was because crystal was falling in love with her and we were going to get a cute little sapphic love story!!

I thought it was a visual representation of her gift to falling in love and I feel a bit cheated that it isn't!
