Can I offer you a meme in this trying time

You die. As you go up to Paradise, you notice it seems to be in ruins. Then you find the corpse of God.

SPOILERS BELOW

I keep thinking about Niko becoming the Principal, and I think it's really important for the show thematically. Rant incoming. Something I really appreciate about Dead Boy Detectives is that it doesn't shy away from how unfair and unjust the world can be. Edwin is sent to Hell along with his bullies on a "technicality." Charles is murdered because he tried to save someone. And it doesn't stop there. In Port Townsend, they save a little girl, and a witch spends the rest of the season trying to get revenge. The Lost and Found department is only able to catch them because they save the Devlin family; the Night Nurse can't get the paperwork approved until she learns their exact location. In the world of DBDA, doing the right thing isn't necessarily rewarded. Sometimes, it's actively punished. But the show is always clear that it's important to keep trying, to keep being kind, and to keep connecting with other people anyway. So when Niko says, "You never know when the good you do will come back around," she's not saying that the world is suddenly going to be fair. She's not saying that "the universe" is going to magically reward them for good behavior. She's saying that they made a difference in her life, and as a result, now she can be there to make a difference in theirs. The world may not be fair, but WE can be there to help each other. And I think that's beautiful.

imagine you are charles rowland and your best friend in the whole wide world pulls you aside and tells you he has feelings for a boy you hate with the passion of a billion fiery suns, but it's also his first time admitting he's gay out loud so you have to swallow it and be supportive because you love him, and in the middle of all that he is DRAGGED SCREAMING into the pit of hell (homophobic), so now you gotta go save him of course, and you're literally IN ACTUAL HELL trying to SAVE HIS SOUL after having witnessed the WORST SHIT you've EVER SEEN and he makes you stop (in hell) (while being chased) (covered in blood and ooze) and says he has feelings for YOU now. how quickly do you pitch yourself down the stairs?

spare thought for the enslaved shepherds in greek mythology/tragedy who rescue the exposed doom babies... sometimes they know why the baby was left to die, sometimes they don't. they just — it's a baby. no one else wants it. you can't leave it here. what harm could it do. it's a baby. you want it to live. it's a baby
