feeling a little cheated that Niko was just infected by demon parasites, and the glittery color whirl wasn't the sapphic gaze.

This is what an evil boop looks like.

How Neil Gaiman killed me...

A single mom who works two jobs

Who loves her kids and never stops

Tag yourself I’m the repressed academic ❤️

every gay friend group has: the repressed academic, the ska loving "brawn", the formerly mean girl psychic, the match making anime fan, the astrology lover, the lesbian butcher/reluctant big sister, the sexy cat with nine lives, the walrus who runs a magic shop and the local witch who wants to kill everyone

The shipping in the show has some AMAZING potential, but can we talk about Nikos and Edwin's BOMB FRIENDSHIP?? I LOVE THEM SO MUCH THEY HAVE SUCH A GREAT DYNAMIC. Two people with autism bonding and helping eachother emotionally. I LOVE THAT!!

Love that the large majority of Dead Boy Detectives plot was driven by gay panic

I went to a crowded farmers market 2 weeks ago, this was me.

girls when they get overstimulated in the grocery store

oh AND my favourite thing about the show is that Edwin and Charles spent a whole ass 30 years being best friends without ever analyzing their trauma (Charles) or their feelings (Edwin)

icons, the both of them

Watching the Cat King and Edwin talk is like. The Olympics of queer bitchiness. It's amazing

Edwin:☝🏻🤓

Queer Demons, twinkified Crows, petty trans-dimensional entities, freaky ass uncommon beings, and immortal lesbian witches:

Dead boy detectives is just Edwin and the bad bitches he pulled by being weird and autistic.

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.

I’m obsessed with their outfits

[pendragon1400]

it really is like a combination of most of the dominate fandoms

why you should watch dead boy detectives on netflix
