Okay, so a little while back, I had this exact same question, and so I went through the scene to try and figure this out. (The images suck but they help illustrate the point. Also warning for knifes, sharp objects, and impalement, though I managed to get pictures without any blood.)

When Maxine slips, they cut to her feet slipping just before showing her dead.

And it is when they do this that they show her actually drop the knife on the ground.

And, though I do not know enough about butcher equipment and whatnot to say what it is, she actually lands on something else entirely.

I was wondering this for the longest time too, cause it is so fast that I didn't even question if it was the knife she landed on until I went and paused each second of the scene. Glad to know I wasn't the only one who thought this, and I hope this helps!

Could someone please explain to me how Maxine died, I get that she slipped and the cleaver went through her head but how is that possible to happen that way with physics and stuff some incredibly expensive and high tech diagrams (stick figure drawings) might be helpful

Thank you soo much for sending an ask 💕 I was kinda bad at choosing only one sentence so you get a little scene!

This is from a fic I had come up with a while ago about a Shapeshifter!Charles and Witch!Edwin

„Oi, are you alright there?” asked a voice right in front of him. When Edwin lifted his head from his hands, he locked eyes with a pretty boy. Said boy was kneeling on the other side of the feverfew, a little furrow between his eyebrows. All Edwin could think, before he lost consciousness and actually face-planted right into his plants, was that the boy had kind eyes.

„Shit, mate!”

An adaptation of Sherlock Holmes set in a world in which the fictional character/literary juggernaut Sherlock Holmes, and all the subsequent adaptations thereof, still exist.

Sherlock Holmes (pronounced Holl-mess, as he is constantly reminding people) just had the misfortune of having parents who really liked the books, and his attitude towards his fictional counterpart is pretty much the same as that of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Sherlock runs a Youtube Theory channel called Mysteries Unwrapped with Sherlock Holmes. He has received no less than seven cease and desist letters from the Conan Doyle estate, all of which he has so faded managed to rebuff by pointing out that that's literally his name.

(No he won't change his name. He's Sherlock Holmes the real live human person. Let Sherlock Holmes the non existent fictional character change his name.)

John is Sherlock's flatmate. Sherlock almost refused to live with him once he realised that it would mean staying with a medical student named John, and only gave in once John pointed out that: a) he's a biomedical student, which is completely different from an md, and b) his surname isn't Watson.

It's now been three years, which is long enough for them to have developed a genuine friendship, and for John to have a) started working towards his PhD in biotechnology, and b) for him to start dating somebody with the surname Watson.

Sherlock can feel the narrative closing in.

His Youtube channel is meant to be focused on lost media, fan theories and stuff like that, but he keeps accidentally stumbling upon and then solving genuine crimes.

His brother Mycroft may or may not have chosen that name after he transitions specifically to annoy him.

He doesn't even live in London, but somehow the only flat they could afford was on a street named fucking Baker Street.

Sherlock Holmes and the Unescapable Power of the Narrative.

Dead Boy Detectives Animatic - Come Home With Me (Reprise)

Hey so I made another one since turns out making animatics is my coping method

Shout out to my dear @pippin-katz who got me into dbda the first place by telling me I would love it since my favourite musical is hadestown (they were 100% correct) and therefore inspired this

[the-spite-of-a-dandelion]

As promised, a bit of body horror for our dear Dead Boys Fandom. I would like to dedicate this to @fear0phobia

This is based on Edwin’s argument that “If she had died last night, I'd have no issue with her being here.”

And now I’m picturing a world where when David was exorcised, he chose to physically rip himself out of Crystal’s body. From jaw to ankles, she is completely torn open. For her part when she sits up it looks very much exactly like it did on the show, but that’s just her ghost, unaware that she’s died quite yet. Behind her on the floor of the train is her mangled body. My main focus on this image is how her ribs would be wide open and her internal organs slipping out. Her mandible is cracked in half and the top half of her mouth is opened wide facing the ceiling. Her body is a mess of exposed bones, and her breast plate looks like someone punched a hole from the inside. It looks exactly like what you would expect if a whole other person burst out of your body.

Both boys are shocked and disturbed by this. This wasn’t supposed to happen. By all means the spell should only have removed the spirit of the demon, not the physical form. Instead of any kind of lighthearted bit about them saving her, Charles is trying not to throw up. Edwin is holding it together slightly better. It’s nothing he hasn’t seen before, but still his mind is racing to figure out what went wrong with the spell. Really the worst part for him is how clearly distressed Charles is by the whole thing. Charles is apologizing to her just repeating “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. This wasn’t supposed to happen. We only meant to take the demon out. We never thought this would happen. I’m so sorry.”

And now she looks concerned as well as confused. She goes to look over her shoulder like maybe that will explain what has this stranger crying in front of her. Before she can, he grabs her by the face. He can’t look at her, but he just says, “Don’t look. Please, just…don’t look. I’m so sorry.”

Now she’s a little peeved, as well as confused, and that’s not even addressing the fact this random man is touching her. So, Edwin steps in to try and smooth things over with professionalism. “We are the Dead Boy Detective Agency. I am Edwin Payne, and this is my partner Charles Rowland. Your friend Emma hired us to exorcise the demon that was possessing your body. Regrettably…it seems that the demon killed you on it’s way out. My condolences.” And now it’s Crystal’s turn to look shocked and horrified, and while part of her is curious about what must be her body behind her, she’s no longer fighting Charles’ hold on her.

“Wait. Who’s Emma?” From there they realise that she has no memories, and that’s just another thing on top of a shit night. Charles says she can come home with them, once it’s apparent that Death isn’t coming for her. Edwin still isn’t pleased about this, but given how everything has gone, and the state Charles is in, Edwin isn’t going to argue. They can have Emma pick Crystal up in the morning. In the meantime, Charles specifically steers Crystal so that she doesn’t have to see what she’s left behind. Still it’s hard not to notice the blood splatter all up the windows as the train car pulls away.

More DBDA x Clue comic book cover! These were actually the first designs I finished!

It was so fun figuring out the “death” portrait for everyone!

[the-spite-of-a-dandelion]

Mad Hatter Charles because I have A TYPE. I would like to dedicate this to @dant-love who believed in me even while I was crying. Please give this boy some love, because no one said anything about him in the group chat <3 This will be a series of drawings that also make me cry because I'm challenging myself on the posing.

[the-spite-of-a-dandelion]

Today's lunch doodle was Alice in Wonderland Crystal. Someone please teach me how to draw her bangs, because even with references I was suffering. But my marker set has a lot of purples that would be perfect to draw her with so I need to learn <3
