yeah yeah all fun and games until you actually hear tragic mick’s story and it’s. tragic
i was about to joke about the dead boy detectives’ moments of goofy expository dialogue (“We have to hide from Death now or she’ll take us!” “I’m a fair and consensual cat king”) but I just got to the walrus monologue omg
charles: um u ok m8?
edwin: this is such a mess
shopkeep who just met them: A real mess is one day finding out that your life’s been taken away. I was once a mighty walrus, free in the ocean, a proud king of the deep blue-
#dead boy detectives#dead boy detectives spoilers#i’m still thinking about it#haunted even!#they had no right to send it like that#i always skipped the intro after watching it the first time and that ep it comes on right after#i watched it in a daze and experienced the first few minutes afterwards in just a. cloud of sadness#nothing about the show before that prepares you for the perfect writing and creative execution#i’m such a fucken sucker for a comedy-comedy-tragedy beat

Hey there. I drove past the White Horse Inn in Berkeley today and snapped a pic for you. Any chance Hob and Dream frequent this establishment in Lighthouses?
Oh, how fun! Thank you! Perhaps they shall. It's got a really interesting history.

Ask Game: List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who liked or reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers ;)
Late in getting to this, but thank you TeeJay!
Road trips through beautiful country on a clear day, early in the morning, with fog burning off still
Swallows
The specific smell of a cedar-hemlock forest when the sun has warmed the earth and bark
Seeing perennials come back to life and seedlings push through the earth this time of year
Diggin in the dirt :)
It's hard to stop once I start, haha - coffee! Good citrus! Watching celery grow! Finding the perfect words for something! Learning the age of rocks! Reading old community newspaper archives! Sleeping in! Hot showers! Cold showers! Shepherd's pie! homemade iced tea! good old linens! cottonwood buds! but I will reel myself in and go spread the joy <3

dead boy detectives is a show whose shortcomings and strengths make total sense when you think of it as a comic on tv, ie terribly goofy expository dialogue that sounds way better when you picture it in comic book font with every other word bolded, panel-paced conversation as our heroes figure out something very obvious, fun enormous monster set pieces that used up all the cgi budget which is why all the rooftop shots look Like That, incredible snap zooms and smash cuts in montages that hit exactly like comic panels, and side characters with bland or brilliant characterization that seems to hinge on the metric of ‘how much cunt did the actor put into their line readings’
#dead boy detectives#dead boy detectives spoilers#we’re accustomed to different nuances of (visual) language in diff media#by no means am i comic adaptation buff but i found myself frequently wondering why it felt so strange vis a vis pacing & writing#maybe it’s just a hallmark of the showrunners or directors!#i’m used to tv dialogue that is a lot faster and frankly uh seems to think more of its audience#a LOT of shots i think were meant to look like comic panels in the montages#devlin family house loop - the fire elemental potion - etc#but then there’s also these very TV Feeling Moments#i found it delightful but also super uneven! like multiple different shows were trying to climb to the top of the pile at once#it’s SUCH a mess to me (complimentary)#like lab grown to be fandom fodder but also i think quite accidentally fandom fodder in its shortcomings too

wait but i finished the season and serious spoilers for ep 8
THE DEAD LETTERS OFFICE
10/10 set-up and payoff, appreciably boosted my opinion of the season. all this ‘where does he come from’ and ‘we don’t even know how it works’ for that pun. beautiful. art. justifies the entire existence of the show
how is it not one person is talking about the Ghost Post in dead boy detectives. imagine being such a mailman in your life that you continue doing it into the hereafter. no eternal rest while there’s mail to deliver. other ghosts don’t know why or how you do it. you are arcane to even the occult
all day in and out you just show up places and shout MAIL CALL and then say vaguely ominous things like “Mail gets delivered wherever you go” and before disappearing into the built in bookshelf. i want this job so bad
