I forgot the title but there's a movie like that. They couldn't leave the house because they've already signed the contract and they won't get the deposit back. Anyway, it was a funny movie. Mostly.

How They Show Their Love
Basically I was trying to write a full fic but then thought of this picture and was inspired to just write down some thoughts.
Edwin had always felt awkward about having people in his space but Charles was different. It happened without Edwin even really realizing it until one day Charles was leaning on him, speaking close to him. Whenever his jacket was ruffled or his bow tie was crooked Charles would step forward and gently fix it. Edwin would sometimes swat his hand away playfully claiming that he could do it himself. Charles knew that Edwin secretly loved it when he would fix his clothes.
They should their love and closeness in different ways. For Edwin it would be an occasional complement to Charles. Charles would use physical touch to show his love for Edwin. He would sling his arm around Edwin while laughing about some remark Edwin had made. He would grab his hand in excitement while explaining something he had discovered. Charles could tell when Edwin was feeling down. Whenever this occurred Charles would pull Edwin in for a long hug. Edwin loved this.
Edwin realized he was in love with Charles when Charles had gone out for some research and returned with a present for Edwin. He had gotten Edwin a pocket telescope. Charles could tell how much Edwin loved it since he was simply speechless. Edwin had never really experienced love and Charles obviously loved him very much to remember that he had been wanting one for a long time.
Charles realized he was in love with Edwin when Edwin had had bought him a record player and some of his favorite records. Edwin would let Charles to listen to his music but only when he was out. Edwin excitedly helped Charles put on the music. When it was playing Edwin stepped forward and took Charles' hands. He began trying to dance with him. Charles laughed causing Edwin to pause. Charles smiled and pulled him in close. He whispered thank you to him.

i love dbda but i also love fashion history so i was very triggered when edwin said emma died in the late 1800s when she very clearly died in the mid 1800s
i would say the 1850s but the latest she could’ve died was in the 1860s
i used this as the reference because you can’t see her full outfit in the show. it’s not very historically accurate but it is clearly 1850s
just look at how similar they are. you cannot tell me she isn’t from the 1850s which classifies as mid 1800s not late 1800s edwin

god what really gets me about dead boy detectives and what i think i love so much about the show and the relationships in it is that like. the romantic and sexual relationships aren't portrayed as being more unique or important than the platonic relationships. they're all just RELATIONSHIPS.
charles and crystal's attraction to each other and eventual hookup isn't this big end-all be-all relationship that shatter charles and edwin's friendship and draws charles' attention away from edwin; it's just a THING that happens. they're just two people that care about each other and happen to also be attracted to each other, and a hook-up happens, then they decide that neither of them are in the right place for it and it's nothing awful. crystal kisses charles, but it isn't some big spectacle of her declaring her love for him; it's just her saying goodbye and that she cares about him, like her hugs with niko and jenny and her handshake with edwin.
edwin realizes he loves charles romantically and tells him, and charles says he doesn't really love edwin romantically BACK, but it's okay, because they still love each other so much in so many other ways that this one tiny difference could never change them—and it doesn't!! they're still just as close, still care for each other just as much, still SHOW that care for each other just as much. their relationship didn't completely end because edwin loved charles in a way charles couldn't reciprocate, but at the same time it isn't "solved" by edwin getting over it, because there's nothing TO solve. it's just another type of love, added to everything that already exists between them. and they have LITERALLY FOREVER to figure out what it means.
the relationships between edwin & niko, crystal & niko, and crystal & edwin aren't given any less weight for being solely platonic, just as charles & crystal's relationship and edwin's feelings for charles aren't given (that much) MORE weight for being romantic. crystal and charles' conflict in the closet is about EDWIN, about how they're BOTH his friend and BOTH want to get him back; it has very little to do with the feelings between THEM, romantic or otherwise. similarly, the weight of charles' and edwin's relationship isn't diminished in the LEAST by charles not reciprocating the romantic side of his feelings (or SAYING he doesn't reciprocate, at least—we can all argue about the legitimacy of that in the notes).
i'm sure there are more examples than this, as well as probably some examples that CONTRADICT this, but like... by and large, it feels like dead boy detectives is a show where all the relationships are given equal weight regardless of platonic, sexual, romantic, or familial status, and as someone on both the asexual and aromantic spectrums who has struggled time and time again with shows casting out the importance of all other relationships in favor of prioritizing romance, that is INCREDIBLY refreshing to see.

if I had a nickel for every time Hilda became teary eyed because a close family member was forced to chose between staying with her, or returning to live with their parents in the magical otherworld they're native to, and came THIS close to leaving her only to come around at the last minute, condemning themselves to potentially never see their parents again because the life they've built with Hilda is more important to them, their bond is unbreakable and their love eternal, and they'd move mountains to make her happy, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

When the interviewer asked when we should expect s5 to be coming out, that’s when Shawn mentioned that a little bit of an answer to that might be out there soon.
He actually mentions that this answer could be out by the time the video for this interview comes out, and since this interview was filmed mid-May and it’s now mid-June, I’m assuming we could be getting something soon or within the next couple months, potentially about a release date aka possibly a small teaser with 2025 stamped at the end…
