i actually don’t give a fuck that transvestigation laws “will end up impacting cis women too” it should be enough that they impact trans women. you should care about that on its own actually.

I keep thinking about how Crystal asked the Washer Woman I need to know who I am and she meant getting her memories back but the Washer Woman replied "when the earth moves and the bird cries, stop looking without, and look within"

And I know the Washer Woman's focus is on saving lives and the revelation Crystal had there did eventually lead to her being able to reclaim her memories but the fact remains she asked a wise prophet who am I? and the answer was you are a beautiful blossoming tree and you have access to a strong, rich lineage to help you and a great potential to do good

It is not her memories that make her who she is, or her parents, or her name. She's not defined by the environment she grew up in or the horrible things she did in the past. She asked to know who she was and this is the answer. Resilient, glowing, beautiful, empowered by generations before her to be herself and protect others. She really needed to hear that and she’s gotta be so grateful she learned this before getting her memories back. She's a strong and loved psychic medium first, the person she was before second

Obsessed with the way Kassius Nelson acts out Crystal swallowing the memories. It literally looks like a hard and bitter pill to swallow. Like it tastes horrible and a part of her is resisting against them but she forces it through just like she doesn't really want to remember who she was and yet feels she needs to so she takes them in anyway and Kassius just makes it work so goddamn well

Another day, another Dead Boy Detectives question! ✨

In the hopes of getting the fandom tag trending and getting more eyes on Dead Boy Detectives, please use the tag "dead boy detectives" when you reblog to reply.

Today's question:

What's the one present Crystal would like most for the winter holidays?

[pony-unicorn]

Crystal's ancestor telling her that David being buried in her mind is "bad for the tree," but I'm so interested to learn what that would have meant for her in season 2.

A good old fashioned corruption arc would be possible, of course, but I personally would prefer that it starts to chip away at her psychic powers.

No, Crystal doesn't need to do bad things because of the tree rotting. That's so pre-canon. Rehashing it does nothing to further her arc.

But forcing her to contend with losing her psychic powers? The powers that she felt inadequate after losing in 1x6? Fuck yeah, that would be a good arc. Make girliepop (my beloved) come to terms with her identity as a psychic and how she would still maintain other integral parts of herself if she could no longer be one.

Also GREAT contrast to s1 where she knew nothing about herself BESIDES being a psychic, uh huh

This is such a great article.

It’s so sad that Netflix is pretty much just known as the killer of fantasy shows now, but you reap what you sow.

One thing that I've been thinking about is how people that aren't from a minority, in this case specifically not being black or a woman, talk about how they want to see diversity on screen but that's not true, they don't wanna see all types of people having the right of being represented (and represent) with the same freedom, what they really want is to have those people just standing there, so they can feel better about themselves and how they're such good people for creating or consuming things that have representation on it without actually looking into the quality of the representation or if it's good or not.

When (most) people from a social majority say they want representation and diversity the only thing that they want is to feel morally superior without having to actually have to do the job of doing something good. Because when they see a female black character that isn't the black friend stereotype and whose function isn't making the white and/or male character feel good about themselves, who's not their sidekick, who has her own storyline and this storyline isn't helping the white male character, Edwin, progress his storyline you act like this!

Let's be honest, a copious amount of you are all just a bunch of sugarcoated racists and misogynists. A lot of you wouldn't like Edwin and Charles if they were girls and Edwin specifically a girl of color, because you already don't - and for precaution, if it doesn't apply let it fly-. When I was watching Dead Boy Detectives for the first time my main complain is how extremely close Crystal's personality is to Charles and Edwin, almost none of the decisions Crystal makes is something that either Charles or Edwin, but mainly Edwin, wouldn't make. I don't think them having such similar personalities is a problem anymore but this is a thing for another post.

What you like in Charles and Edwin isn't really who they really are, you're nothing but just glad and comfortable of seeing more white and/or male characters on your tv screen. Crystal is one of the best written black female characters I've seen recently exactly because she's not written with the function of being your white dude protegee's spiritual guide. She's well written because she's her own person and she's allowed to just be as any other character.

crystal willingly made someone walk into traffic. she sucks lmao

yeah, she did suck. and then she lost her memories and the memories of the way she was traumatized all her life and realised she had been a shitty person and is actively making efforts to be better. no one is saying she didn’t used to suck, she absolutely did. the difference is both that she was a vulnerable child with powers that were so much bigger than her and she didn’t know how not to abuse them, and that she acknowledges how shitty she WAS and is repentant and is working to be better
