This one became a personal project for me. I was originally going for something quite different, but ended up doing a Pride-themed piece instead. With trans rights under attack all over the world, I wanted to make the trans Pride flag the biggest one.

If you want to be an ally to the trans community, listen to trans people. Reach out. Be visible, be loud—queer people can't know whether you're safe or not unless you clearly state it. Take action: you can attend your local Pride, donate to organizations such as Trans Lifeline, or you can simply wear a pin or other accessories to show your support. Love must be louder than hate.

For anyone struggling during these times: I see you. You're so loved, even when this world makes you feel otherwise. Don't give up🩵

I told Zack that we love him and that he is my favorite writer ❤️

because it so happened that I came to the DBDa fandom from another fandom where I argued with the writer and he is on my blacklist lol, there in the fandom the team of creators did not respect the fandom at all and everyone hated shippers.

Then I got here and I am grateful every day that I am here and we have such a wonderful team and I love Zack with all my heart. He is very talented, a very good person and loves our fandom very much ❤️

And I will never forget how he supported me ❤️❤️❤️

The moment she became my favourite

Dead Boy Detectives Character Appreciation Week Day 4: Niko Sasaki

[diangelodork]

you ever have people in your fandom that you follow or are moots w but they’re also literally like a celebrity to you and you giggle and kick your feet when they interact with your posts or is that just me?? (this is targeted at so many people that i am so. so scared to talk to. i beg that they reach out to me first.)

Edwin was a character who really grew on me over my first watch of the series, and especially over the first episode. Initially he comes across as aloof and distant with everyone but Charles - his cool demeanour with the WWI nurse and "playing hardball" with Emma, his obvious resentment of Crystal's intrusion into his space and his irritation with Charles for inviting her without asking him.

One of my favourite little character-revealing exchanges in the first episode is Edwin and Charles' argument in the games cupboard about whether to take the Becky Aspen case - specifically, the way that after Charles lays out all his arguments about taking a break from the office to avoid getting caught by death, he smiles, relaxed and confident, and pulls out what is obviously his trump card:

"You really gonna let a little American girl die?"

And Edwin gives him a longsuffering look, and Charles grins like a madman, and in the next shot they're in Port Townsend. Because no, Edwin was never going to do that, and they both knew it.

We see more of why he's like that over the rest of the episode, the flashback to his own murder, and then finally in his argument with Crystal, where that composed facade cracks and we see the thing that drives him, the reason why he's spent the last 34 years risking getting caught and sent back to hell, the motivation that normally hides behind the sterile excuse that a good detective does what he must to close the case.

Edwin wants justice. For himself, for Charles, for Becky Aspen, and yes, for Crystal too. He wants every death to count, every hurt to matter, every wrong to be righted - or at least acknowledged and given the weight it deserves. He was murdered at sixteen in a hate crime, was sent to hell on a technicality, and dragged himself out to discover that his death had been smoothed over and forgotten. And he's spent the last 34 years doing everything he can, even at the risk of being sent back, to make sure that kind of thing doesn't happen to anyone else.

THEY FUCKING CANCELLED KAOS A MONTH AFTER RELEASE. WHAT THE FUCK?? DBDA CANCELLED AFTER FOUR MONTHS, KAOS A MONTH!!! These bastards don't give the show a chance. Why the fuck buy a show if you're going to cancel it RIGHT AWAY and not give it a chance to grow and gain an audience and not even a fucking chance for the show to go to another streaming service. Assholes. I'm so fucking angry
