Come watch Dead Boy Detectives!
We have:
Bitchy boy from Hell
Friendly guy who solves 90% of problems with a cricket bat
Girl with a demon in her head who can see your memories (but not her own)
Anxious shut-in girl who is actually really friendly and colourful
Lesbian whose Big Knife makes up for her awkward attitude
A murderous 300ish year old witch who would unironically call herself a girlboss
Bird
Really tiny, really bitchy iconic duo that feeds on attention
Not a Catboy, but a CatmanTM
Cute librarian :)
A man with a catchphrase who is also a walrus. He will sell you approximately something slightly to the left of what you asked for
A demon with nothing better to do than bother his ex
Victorian girl with a glowing squid for a pet
Immortal CPS worker with too much paperwork
Death played by Kirby Howell-Baptiste
One (1) man with no trauma
The best take on Lilith I've ever seen. That's not a joke it's just my honest opinion
Ghost postman. He delivers the ghost post
there are two types of people
the difference in setups honestly kills me
people say “wrong place wrong time” but it’s never about being in fictional worlds instead of whatever this real life thing is
THE GLORIA SCOTT - now all in one place ! once again thank you to candy and also owl for yelling at me 💛
oh good i thought i was weird or something for rewatching it so much
So I’m on rewatch 15 of Dead Boy Detectives, do Netflix realise how rare it is for people to be able to rewatch a show FIFTEEN TIMES
"We're sometimes here to help"
there is a soft space in my heart and it is filled with things like this
Also, secret life has the most references to past seasons especially to limited life. It’s almost like the clocker family never quite left, they still called each other mom, dad, son- Bdubs held on to the gripe about not being the favourite son. Cleo gave him the title, and they all laughed knowing that Scar would be upset. Almost every episode, they acknowledged the family in one way or another
The bad boys still helped each other out. The exchange of hearts and Joel calling it in the name of bad boys. He got tricked into completing Grian’s task in the beginning, but when the entire server was red later on- he didn’t hesitate to help Grian one last time. Even death didn’t separate them. Jimmy stuck around as a guardian angel, guiding one of his boys, laughing as they did ridiculous things- just like the old days. Every now and then, they remembered
The nosy neighbours didn’t forget each other. Although their interactions were rare, when they brought it up was special. Pearl tried apologizing to him (I can’t remember for what), Bigb says he doesn’t forgive her. Just like that, Pearl brings out her big sad wet eyes “but…nosy neighbours?” and Bigb immediately softens his voice and says he was joking. All is good between them. In the finale, Pearl sees him peeking out behind a wall. A fond, familiar sight. “Always watching?” Bigb shifts away and says it back “Always watching” they go their separate ways
I’m not sure if there were references to mean gills or team ties, but those other teams stood out strongly. And there were plenty more to double life, last life, 3rd life. It’s sorta strange, but in a welcoming way, to see more and more callbacks to previous teams. In a season where a huge part of the game mechanic is keeping a secret, in a series where past alliances are usually brushed aside, people leaned over to each other and went “hey, remember when…”
where are the remus lupin time-loop au where he has to relive october 31, 1981 and each loop he keeps trying to save james and lily only to find out he’s suppose to save sirius black
headcanon accepted
headcannon that secret life is the prequel to LimL (i’ve seen other people talking about this)
Scar killed his dad three times and so Etho left to live with his friends. Cletho healthy relationship. Skizz giving out hearts and being so nice in SL is why he was punished so much in ep 1 of LimL. Etho and Joel being so obsessed with boat boys because it literally just happened. Boat boys being so angry with each other in LimL because they’ve had time to learn to hate each other. Something somthing. I probably make no sense
