Edwin, setting down a card: Ace of spades
Charles, pulling out an Uno card: +4
Niko, pulling out a Pokémon card: Jolteon, I choose you
Crystal, trembling: What are we playing
Okay, so I might just be seeing things but it looks like in her final outfit Niko is wearing horseshoe earrings.
I don't know if it's just a myth where I'm from but I've learned that having a horshoe turned up in the form of an U means good luck as you're catching good things. If it's instead turned down like a rainbow it brings bad luck, because all of the good things are dropping out of the horseshoe. This is why you always need to make sure which way you've hung up a horseshoe in your house so you don't attract misfortune.
Now in Nikos case her earrings are turned down, so they're in the shape of a rainbow, meaning that she is losing all of her good luck. Combined with the "outlook not so good" Niko's fate is already sealed way before they even get near Esther.
Niko bursting into the bathroom (without knocking) and shouting, "THE BOYS ARE BACK FROM HELL!" and seeing Jenny, panicking and singing: "I said HElllOOOoooO!" was actually my favorite part of the show (S1E7)
And yet another day where I think about how adorable Niko is and I wish she was my friend, and also how I love the way she lives her life, and loves her friends especially awkward autistic Edwin who is always surprised that anyone could care for him.
am I the only one who headcanons Niko as aroace? Like I love all the lesbian hcs I see but the whole loving love and fictional romance (and then hating it) feels (at least in my experience) VERY aroace to me
Niko: Why are Edwin and Charles sitting with their backs to each other?
Crystal: They had a fight.
Niko: Then why are they holding hands?
Crystal: They get sad when they fight.
Btw for anyone who doesn’t like to use twitter/x or just doesn’t feel like using it, I take suggestions on what to tweet! I made a new twitter just for #savedeadboydetectives but I mostly retweet current stuff. So if yall want to spread anything new just put it in the notes or tags or whatever and I’ll tweet it with the proper hashtags!
Yk what could be interesting/fun for a Dead Boy Detectives S2/fic?
A living friend who can't see nor hear the boys. That's it. Friend believes Crystal and Niko that they have ghost friends, the newbie helps in cases and is a real friend (like a Monty without evil witch mom with ulterior motives), but they can't see who they are talking to.
Like the scene where Crystal is making the interrogatory to Niko before the Sprites Explosion, except Niko and Crystal having to translate everything Charles and Edwin say or they have to wear their human disguises for Friend to see them.
Would be really funny them helping in living cases and sometimes feeling left out because they can't see the ghosts, but either way Niko and Crystal make sure that they feel included and both Edwin and Charles make the effort every time for Friend to feel like a part of the group.
