Season 2 Storyline Hello???

It's pretty darn special when even the directors are participating in DBDA twitter posts that ask questions like, what is your favorite moment from this episode?

For those who don't know, Richard Speight, Jr. directed The Case of the Very Long Stairway. You might recognize him from Supernatural. He's also given interviews about this episode and what it was like from the perspective of a director, and what a truly special experience it was to work on the set of Dead Boy Detectives.

He's a fan of this show. And he wants it to be saved, too.

I think Charles grins fondly when Edwin's being a bitch because he genuinely thinks it's hilarious and adorable. But I also think he admires the shit out of Edwin's unwillingness to tone himself down or file off his sharp edges. Charles needs to be liked so much, and he spends so much time setting himself aside and tying himself in knots to be what other people need, and Edwin just doesn't. He is exactly and entirely his snippy bitchy self and everyone else can take it or leave it. I think there's something exhilarating in that for Charles - both a sense that by attaching himself to Edwin he can borrow some of that fearlessness about outside judgments, and a thrill of knowing that Edwin can ignore everyone else's opinion because Charles is always, entirely, inarguably enough for him.

And there are downsides to that dynamic. Charles works really hard to manage the vibe, and the fact that Edwin doesn't really do that back (isn't equipped to do it back, because he doesn't read people and intuit what they need from him the way Charles does) sometimes leaves him feeling like he's carrying that weight alone. (who else is gonna keep spirits up? you?)

But also there's a reason Charles is drawn to stubborn difficult people with sharp edges who don't apologise for who they are, and I don't think he'd give up Edwin's bitchiness for anything.

Just love how everyone has/probably has some trauma or an interesting backstory meanwhile Monty just spawned in with his cute lil astronomy book like ":D"

Honestly Edwin's and Charles' relationship is devotion but looked at through Niko's pink tinted heart glasses :3

"I hate it here": Dead Boy Detectives fans in "mourning" after Netflix cancels series

Netflix has cancelled the supernatural and queer-inclusive series Dead Boy Detectives, and fans are distraught.

Please interact and share articles about how Netflix has unjustly cancelled the show, sharing and reposting these articles are incredibly important.

I've seen a few interpretations of the ring toss, but haven't read anyone yet that reads it as a token of her love for Lenore. So.

Annabel Lee is quick to find solutions, and she knew the Stag was interested in the ring, that much is clear enough. So, the only way out was obvious (it was still a gamble, though). And I don't see why tossing it away has to mean her love for Lenore has diminished, or that she has other priorities...

If she had kept it, they were all going to die.

And I doubt Annabel would want to leave Lenore behind like that, dying far away from her without knowing for sure if Lenore made it (another thought, but I'm starting to think Lenore died first, and Annabel second, which is why she's so hell bent on protecting Lenore - but that's for another post).

Do I think she cares about Ada and Prospero? Sure. She could have left Ada behind, for example, and yet she chose to stay and try to get her out of there. But tossing the ring away doesn't mean she suddenly prioritizes them over Lenore or her love for her. She tossed it away because she loves Lenore.
