#NIKO SASAKI MY BELOVED

[elleandtheiranxiety]

Just a fujoshi making her edwardian gay bestie watch yaoi with her

What anime are they watching??

[asexualandalwaysshipping]

The thing about Niko is that her presence really helped balance out the awkwardness of the love triangle between Charles, Edwin, and Crystal so that you could actually stop and appreciate the friendship within the gang since there wasn't some weird tension present all the time so if there ends up being a season 2 (fingers crossed) her absence will definitely be felt considering there's still a lot of unresolved feelings among the three which I can't decide if that's a good or bad thing. Maybe Jenny and the Night Nurse can help fill that gap but that's really just adding two straight men to replace the fool (not that niko's a fool it's just that's the official term) which doesn't really fix anything.

got hooked on dbd didn’t i

[a-foggy-maggy]

I think I'm funny (part 1, 3, 4, 5)

[coffeenonsense]

y'all I love jenny just an honest, hardworking lesbian trying to run a successful small business, enjoy her secret admirer and maybe find love all while being like, the one adult in town doing her best to make sure two teenage girls are okay despite them being ON GOD the weirdest kids she's ever meet. the mvp truly

in one of the cameos George said Edwin would love to read Jane Austen and I absolutely love that. but you know who else would adore Jane Austen? NIKO! I'm pretty sure Emma isnt just her favorite novel, but literally a matchmaking guide. and I hope you all agree with me on this. and also I can really picture Edwin and Nico sitting together on her bed reading each other their favorite moments from Austen's books, giggling and kicking their feet like the two pretty besties that they are

[thepearlyalbatross]

I cannot explain how much I fuckjg love them all.

Anyway have some sleepy cuddly detectives. Cuddle piles are a necessity after a long case.

It's gif time again - today, some silly moments from the case of the lighthouse leapers! Starting us off is Edwin and the adorable way he sits in that chair.

next up, this frame of the core four (which doesn't get enough credit)

then we have Edwin being adorable again, with the cat king this time

also, this aesthetically pleasing shot from above

and last but not least, Niko & Edwin in synch and on loop

that's it for this episode, thank you and good night!

edwin's screams during niko's death being more haunting than his screams of literal torture is actually something so personal i just-

[sapphosclown]

thinking ab edwin and niko

thinking ab how niko is probably one of his only friends he’s made in the century he’s lived/not lived.

based on what we see of his life and death, he wasn’t popular. based on his personality he’s quite put together, he’s quiet and he watches. he doesn’t take risks really and that leads me to think he didn’t have any good friends. not until charles.

and of course, charles is his best friend. but for whatever their reasons, they hid stuff about their lives from each other. maybe it’s to keep things light, maybe to keep things professional, whatever. i think them making the dead boy detectives agency is their way of connecting without having to connect so seriously— there’s always work to fall back into. it’s lonely, he had a best friend but still was lonely.

but niko, she doesn’t work with them (not officially). she’s just a girl! she was a victim of the supernatural and lived and can now see them, but she’s just a sweet girl who misses her parents and also, doesn’t have any friends! just like edwin hadn’t. but something about her bluntness being so charming, her love for everything, edwin was drawn to it. and then she plays such a big part in edwin accepting himself, he finally has someone he can talk to about these feelings he’s been repressing for nearly 100 years. they can just sit and watch silly shows and she hold no judgement against him for things he doesn’t know!

idk. just edwin’s reaction to niko in the last episode was so heartbreaking, that’s his friend he just lost. the way he screams and then once he’s free all he can do is stare (he can’t even cry but he wants to so badly). charles has to pull him away because he knows death should be coming soon and like. everything else. but edwin physically doesn’t want to leave her. he knows how it feels to have more than one person to confide in now, someone who wants to embrace him fully as is and can give outside perspective and advice and he can trust and trusts him back. how can one go back to loneliness after knowing what it’s like to love and be loved like that?

[xialing-gf]

niko and edwin remind me of this line from a poem i wrote

like yes charles understands edwin but niko and edwin have a connection that edwin's never had before and the fact that he had to watch her die after spending so decades never feeling understood until he met her is so 😭

[flower-dagger-gay]

If Niko has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Niko has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Niko has only one fan then that is me. If Niko has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Niko, then I am against the world.

[tokenducks]

Niko definitely makes the group friendship bracelets

[ace-and-the-rpg-horrors]

Niko and Edwin are the type of friends who would dance together <3
