The DBD polycule according to me

Starter pack:

One thing DBD has got me thinking about is how the afterlife works in this universe now. Because before I figured Death came took your hand and dropped you off where you were meant to go - which was whichever afterlife you believed in or Hell if you were a bad person.

But now with the expansion of the universe we know Death isnt infallible. We know from the original comics that she only lets the boys go because she is dealing with A LOT of crap thanks to Lucifer kicking all the dead folk out of Hell so they are all back on Earth. Edwin and Charles manage to slip past her because she doesnt have time to chase them, but it never seems like she isn't aware of them.

But now, there are plenty of ghosts that don't go with Death. Can they just refuse to take her hand so she just shrugs and says okay go be a ghost bye! Because imagine if that had happed in The Sound of Her Wings. Dream standing there like 🧍‍♂️while his sister is arguing with a dead person who refuses to go with her. Humorous sure but not quite fitting the tone!

Then there is the suicide lore, which griped me actually. Suicide victims dont get to move on? They just wonder the Earth for all eternity? What?? But we see the suicide forest in Hell in Sandman, so suicide victims go to Hell in this universe (which aligns with Hellblazer/Constantine view I believe?) Does Death just not take suicide victims now? Does she get annoyed at people taking death into their own hands? Unlikely.

Then there is the whole Afterlife beaurocracy. How does that work? Is that something separate to Death's realm? Or IS IT Death's realm? Is this beaurocratic nightmare part of the Sunless Lands? Again, it doesn't seem quite right for Death as we know her.

Maybe the Afterlife department is something different. But Death dropped off the axe murdered family at that department for "processing" right? So clearly this department isn't the actual final resting place for the dead. Are the characters like Night Nurse and her superior Death's versions of Lucienne and Mervyn? Did she create them? Or is it totally separate from her?

I just have SO many questions about all this. Please let me know your thoughts or if I missed something.

The walrus man is teaching us the very important lesson that there are animal people in this universe that aren't romancable for our dating sim protagonist.

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.

Oh, I will not shut up about them.

nobody understands that niko is easily the most interesting and likable character on dead boy detectives (edwin gets runner up) i mean just look at her outfits! theyre all monochromatic and match her mood that episode, easily has the best character design, plus shes ICONIC!!

[sb-essebi]

I think I understand you better now. Ooh, do tell me all about me.

+ bonus:

[sb-essebi]

Being a detective is such a gay little career choice

That Ghost Postman apparently

Ahahaha. Nothing! Stops! the mail!

Honest, imagine the delivery times. The impeccable mail forwarding. No dead letters when they're letters of the dead etc

If you are watching a TV show, it can be live action or animated.

But not when you're reading a book. Much to think about.

Ok, we've all seen the polls asking which of Hob Gadling's "looks" through time is the most attractive, but which era of Hob Gadling do you find the most intriguing, as in you could watch an entire episode about what his life is like in just that century?

also, sadly, "brills" will 100% work its way into my english vocabulary. sorry. it can't be helped.

Edwin finding Charles with a lantern, Charles finding Edwin with a lantern, oh the parallels, the PARALLELS

[sb-essebi]

I love how Edwin says "brills" and Charles says "hold on a tick" because over time they've adopted some of each others sayings
