Edwin Paine — Dead Boy Detctives, S01E07 (2024)

[fan-a-tink]

I feel like we all moved on far too quickly from how absolutely unhinged it is for Edwin to say this line

like, my boy what do you mean he just enjoys ghosts?

+ the delivery from George is just iconic!

Iconic scene

The way Edwin rolls his eyes :

[lily-s-world]

Oh, to be the one and only Edwin Payne, who can rizz up boys without even trying, except for the one he actually wants.

[livrere-green]

I feel obliged to let these here as he, Jayden Revri, had taken over my life lately.

Also, today's his birthday...

Love of my Afterlife

+ Yuyu & Kassius' stories!

Hiiii anon <3

1 - Who is your favourite character?

OH, that's a difficult one, I love them all so much!!! I'd probably say either Edwin or the Cat King. The Cat King's just so funny, I love all the acting choices Lukas Gage made. And Edwin's just so fantastic, again, George Rexstrew did a brilliant job with him. He cares so much and is so kind and so hurt and I just love him so much

5 - Which character do you relate to the most?

Ooooh, another difficult one. I think either Edwin (again) or Niko! Can't talk to new people, had a hard time at school, feels like a bit of an outsider, really obsessed with one or two specific things? Check, check, check. Also, a burning optimist, despite whatever happens. That's me down to a T, lol

7 - Favourite headcanon from the fandom so far?

I do love the true ghost forms idea @hannaloony came up with. That's so cool. It just feels right and is a BRILLIANT vehicle for angst

15 - Favourite line in the show?

Can I say the entire script? Or everything out of Edwin's mouth?

Obviously I love the entire Hell's stairs confession. Iconic. But I am a sucker for the whole little book scene between Charles and Edwin, especially "Does that look blue to you, Charles?" just for the way George delivers it

Thank you sm for the ask 🩷🩷

1. Who is your favorite character?

On the first watch it was Charles, and then on my 2nd-4th watch I was really invested in Edwin’s character… his physicality alone is just so fun to watch and pick apart. Now, 7+ watches in, I have reverted to loving Charles. He’s just so good and empathetic and also just cool. More on him for the next question haha

5. What character do you relate to the most?

I have a tendency to project onto characters with Daddy issues, especially characters who are cheerful, protective, and try really hard to be a good person. So the more I look into Charles as a character the more attached I get to him (let’s be clear tho my relationship with my dad is NOWHERE near his, but I relate to the feeling of trying so hard to be good and do things Right only for your mistakes and failures to be seen as some intentional act of rebellion). We’re getting way too deep into it here but ADHD, questioning, possibly demiromantic Charles headcanons hit me right in the heart.

7. Favourite headcanon from the fandom so far?

See prev, but also I love the idea that Charles is already very much in love with Edwin, like as much as it is possible to love someone, and just has trouble placing a platonic/romantic / other label on it because he has no frame of reference for what being in love really feels like. He’s just like me fr

15. Favourite line from the show?

There are funny lines that get me every time (“oUch mY gHoSt sKiN”, “What the fuck, teethface?” Esther has such iconic lines) but what I can’t get out of my head is Edwin recounting what his punishment is in Hell to Charles.

Just the broken way he says “That was the last me.” It sends chills down my spine. George Rexstrew the actor that you are…

2 - fave episode

Oh boy, probably episode 7! It has so many interesting character beats to me, and I get too distracted watching it when I have Dead Boys going in the background. To start with, I love Crystal's storyline starting with her being so adamant to also go to hell to save Edwin. We all know that their relationship has gotten off to a rocky start and I feel this really solidifies her care for Edwin and shows they have their own friendship outside of Charles. She is so worried about not knowing who she is that I feel she has failed to noticed she has already made her own found family.

The scenes with Niko and the Night Nurse really showcases Niko missing her dad and is another of great addition to the episode. For me it's the only explanation of why the group didn't wonder why Niko wasnt a ghost- she obviously passed on to be with her father, right? (Truly heartbreaking to me that they don't even know to look for her at this point.)

George Rexstrew's performance this whole episode is superb imo. The scene with Simon is so heartbreaking (shout out to Gabriel Drake!) and really hit me in the queer feels. I feel like many queer people have had that feeling when we are younger of being wrong, and to have these two boys help each other to move on healed something in me. Follow this up with THE STAIRCASE- the way Edwin's breath catches as he confesses and the fragile look on his face; the collar bone touch from Charles gets me every time. And I'm so thankful for Charles response. Payneland until I die, but it is perhaps the only pair I ship that if it stayed a QPR I would still be okay with it.

14 - plotline you would put into S2/any future season

I really want to see more Edwin and Crystal friendship and for them to pair up on a case together next season! I think it was an unappreciated duo and I would love to get to see them be mean girls together. I think they would be iconic verbally ripping apart a rude client.

I also need Monty to return asap. That poor little crow boy deserves another chance and I'm heartbroken that they just left him in that house. I hope he somehow becomes besties with Jenny- a crow and a goth together at last. I would also love if somehow Monty and the Cat King both came to London as a duo if we are to get cameos. It could work so well for them to have bonded in the absence of the other characters and now they need the dbda to take a case for them.

It would make my little heart so happy for Monty to get any happy ending but I hope he gets a boyfriend please and thank you.

21 - something in the show that made you happy

I really appreciate that the show made women fully fleshed out characters. It would have been easy for them to have Niko be the positive attitude character, but I think we can all relate to her a lot more knowing she struggles with fitting in and is dealing with the loss of a loved one. Jenny could have been all about the pithy oneliners, but instead we found out about her having to learn a business that was left to her by her father and her struggles to find people to connect to. Even the Night Nurse goes on a journey to learn empathy for humans. Truly a shout out to all the woman writers, actors and crew on this show for having such nuanced characters when other supernatural shows in the past haven't bothered.

Also I really love Kingham and Litty and I hope they stick around for awhile next season so I can enjoy more of their savagery. And maybe they can learn to not be dicks ❤️

Thanks for thinking of me @plutosheaven! I'm usually just the one screaming in the reblogs of everyone else's posts, but I want all of the artist and writers in the fandom to know I appreciate you and you're amazing!
