Hi, Neil! I don't have a question. I just wanted to say that i just finished watching Dead Boys Detectives and I love it every second of it. I really hope it gets renewed otherwise I don't know how I'll keep living 😨

Tell everyone you know in real life to watch it. Tell everyone you know online. Remember that the first month is the most important and that completion rates are the statistic that Netflix cares about at least as much as viewing figures. Post things anywhere you can post things.

It's up to all of you whether it gets a second season (or a third).

Hi, Neil. I was wondering if you could confirm what the correct spelling of Edwin's last name is in the Dead Boy Detectives show since both Payne and Paine seem to be getting used in the tags. Thanks!

It was Paine in the comics and is Payne on the TV.

[lilyznow]

the way both Edwin and Charles are so adamant about staying together for eternity. They have both stated it explicitly multiple times. They are equally bound together, their love each other so much you know it after their first scene together. They went through hell together and came back. The toiches that linger that neither pays too much attention to. The casual ease they work around each other. Because they have. For decades. G o d they make me insane.

Edwin Paine: [exists]

Every queer man* in Port Townsend: oh my goddddd hiiiii 😍😍😍😍😍

Edwin:

Edwin: upon consideration I am simply far too repressed for this nonsense. Thank you and good day gentlemen

I love both shows so much

There is something about proudly proclaiming a show "tumblrista catnip" that makes me emotional.

Something about how for years tumblrinas were ridiculed by show creators.

Something about Supernatural having a meta episode set at a convention with all the weirdo fans that made the main characters uncomfortable. Something something about Becky and the message that fangirls are gross and obsessive.

Something about Sherlock and the way fans were portrayed as crazy obsessive nutjobs for trying to figure out how he faked his death.

Something about creators mocking fandoms, dismissing them as freaks. Something about queer people not being welcome to engage in their creations because "why do you have to make everything gay?"

Something about the malicious culture of queerbaiting throughout the 2000s/2010s, followed by Bury Your Gays tropes across the media landscape because hell, you should be grateful we even gave you queer characters to begin with - and everyone dies in our show! You ain't special!

Something about Destiel questions being banned from conventions...

And then...

Something instead about Good Omens, and letting the story adapt naturally, embracing the fanbase and leaning into the fanservice.

Something about Our Flag Means Death, and the genuine outpouring of love and affection between cast, crew, and fandom that culminated in an explosion of fanworks that were never once mocked or deemed gross or wrong.

Something about Sandman, and staunchly digging in their heels on the queerness of it all, refusing to give in to the homophobes and instead avidly mocking THEM on social media rather than us.

Something about the writers hearing about fandoms favourite ships and excitedly stating that YES! We DID lean into that because it happened naturally and made sense.

Something about a firefighter coming out as bisexual after 7 seasons...

So yeah, something about a new high quality show made FOR US. By creators that love US. Respect US, and WANT our love.

Something about US FINALLY being a target audience for the best shows being made on TV now.

Tumblrista catnip. Creators saying "we made this for you. You are important. Your voices have been heard."

It just... all got a bit overwhelming for a moment there.

Lucy: How do you love me so easily?

Lockwood: Because you are the key to a part of myself I left behind a very.. very long time ago. I love you because you embody my capacity to love. I love you because without you I have no love left. Isn't that the only way to love someone?

Charles gives me the vibe of someone who will keep sleeping even when he doesn't have to

Quill Kipps [pjo au]

I have a very vague concept when it comes to Kipps in Camp Half Blood

He's the only adult demigod that is still alive at camp. Probably got there at around 12 and was able to survive in comparison to everyone around him.

He completed several quests in his lifetime, but they all included the deaths of other campers.  It's mentioned in the books that his team has the highest mortality rate. I think it would be similar in this universe, just that it's the mortality rate on his quests. He manages to complete them, but something ALWAYS goes wrong with them. My guy has terrible luck..

That's the reason why Ares, his dad, is so disappointed in him. I think it is widely known around camp that he's useless as an Ares kid. The only reason why Ares involves himself with Kipps is due to Aphrodite. She took a liking to Kipps (not the romantic kind) since he likes to dress up really fashionably and takes great care of his looks. She practically adopted him and likes to give him make-overs at random moments.

It makes me happy when they listen

The crossover is giving me an excuse to draw Barnes as a centaur

Listen it wasn’t the most baffling thing in the world when Netflix canceled Lockwood and co even tho it performed well bc let’s be real, Netflix will basically cancel a show if it breathes wrong…

But do you think that Netflix actually canceled Lockwood and co bc around the time it aired they’d aquired the rights to dead boy detectives (a show with a competingly similar premise to Lockwood and co that has Neil Gaiman attached who’s had two very successful shows in the last few years with Netflix and Amazon prime)… because I do.

Like to me that’s the missing puzzle piece of what happened there
