…yeah something about these week 1 viewing numbers has me feeling like we aren’t getting a season 2-
(for reference some of the more popular ones this year have gotten between 10-20 million in their first week/first weekend/3-4 days depending on if it released on a Thursday or Friday)
It feels like unless those numbers skyrocket in the next few weeks, it’s not looking too good :/
At this point we just need to hope that Netflix renews it because it’s Neil Gaiman and in the same universe as The Sandman, but idk if they’d actually renew the show because of that, so, I don’t know anymore.
Guys, the numbers for "Dead Boy Detectives" are bad, which puts us in the threat of cancelation.
This is a show with primarily non-white cast, of various identities with explicitly queer storylines. No queerbaiting or "maybe we can hc them as x or y". Real stories.
It's a fun show, too, to say the least. I know it is discouraging to keep talking about numbers, but the reality is that we need them.
Binge the show, tell your friends, tell your family, play it in the background as noise, let's rack up those numbers.
We and every queer kid after us deserve to see stories about them told in the most fantastical, spooky setting.
It would also be a wonderful plus to see Desire and the Cat King together, would it not?
I want all of you people to know that the Cat King gave Edwin a Lily Flower, which is deadly for cats but it symbolises rebirth, condolences, commitment and purity of adoration and love.
Cat King gave his crush a flower that's deadly to him to pay his respects and express his commitment.
When it's hihi haha yapping and next thing you know Mason Alexander Park comes to join on the Kiki!
We love you, queen! 🪷
YOOOO MASON IS ON BOARD!
@nualaofthefaerie tweeted this after we were geeking out yesterday about how much Lukas Gage reminded us of Desire and I joked that he was Desire's child.
Listen I am full on headcanoning this into reality. That Cat King was faaaar too much like Desire for me to ignore it. Huuuuge Desire vibes!
Clearly Desire themself agrees with us!
So what are we thinking? Talk to meeee about this! Who is the other parent? Lukas Gage is a child of the Endless with 9 lives and whole host of magical powers and probably a lot of parental issues twisting him up. Is Desire a good parent? Highly unlikely lol. But you gotta admit it makes for excellent fanfiction. :P
This is slightly overdue but I just wanted to say to everyone who participated thank you so much for Death Appreciation Week! All your fanworks have been wonderful to see and it's been a joy on my dash this past week in the run up to the release of Dead Boy Detectives.
Wasn't she fabulous in it? Even if it was only a short cameo it was so so lovely to see Death again and it just makes me more excited for more Sandman!
