(in a reblog for my monty hook post) As I recall he never even kissed anyone so that's just heteronomative as fuck to just assume he's straight out of no where (and even if he did kiss it wouldn't necessarily mean anything).
He's not, never been, also anyone that thinks captain hook is straight missed some very important lessons in queer coding history have you looked at that man??
Here are the ways you can help (be sure to read until the end).
I'm not sure how many people here on Tumblr are also over on DBDA Twitter, but there have been MANY developments in the last 24 hours and it's important for all of us to be on the same page if we're going to have a chance in hell of saving our show.
First and foremost, we need to get Dead Boy Detectives in the Netflix Top 10 again. This means running it as much as possible. Read about that below:

As the graphic says, the goal is to have it running on a loop constantly, as much as you physically can. Be sure to have some level of volume on or else it won't count. If you're on Twitter be sure to post your rewatch (photos of your tv, commentary, etc.) with the hashtag #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives !!!
Also, there's no better time to do this: the Tweet below brings up a great point! 👍

Second, and easiest thing: KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW AND CREATING CONTENT ABOUT THE SHOW. Analysis, fics, fanart, shitposts, gif sets, memes, tik tok videos, so on - do not stop! Reblog other people's stuff and talk about it! Give fics kudos, comment, make fic rec lists and post that WIP or sketch! The most important thing to remember is to TAG YOUR POSTS AND CREATIONS. We need to trend!!! On Tumblr make sure you continue tagging your posts as you probably already are (look at my tags on this post if you need help, and remember not to use "DBD" on here because that is another fandom! We use DBDA here). On Twitter you want to use the hashtag #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives for the rewatch and #SaveDeadBoyDetectives is a popular one, too. You can also use #DeadBoyDetectives. Hell, I usually use all three if I can! Hashtag every post you make about Dead Boys, no matter how annoying or "cringe" you may feel. Flood the fucking tag and do not stop.
Third, everyone needs to sign and keep circulating the petition. We've surpassed 5,000 signatures in a day which is fantastic, but we need more. Get everyone you know to sign it; tell them it takes no more than 15 seconds. Be annoying until they do it just to shut you up.
Fourth, request "Dead Boy Detectives Season 2" through Netflix's support website. It's a small thing but if we all do this a couple times a day it will get their attention. They really do vet these suggestions, and an influx of requests for a canceled show will raise eyebrows.
Lastly, if you decide to write Netflix (via email or a letter - their office address has been floating around) please remember to stay concise and professional. Don't curse at them, don't call names. State that you are disappointed with the cancellation of the show, maybe add an anecdote about what it meant to you, and I would even recommend attaching some articles that emphasize people's displeasure with the platform abandoning shows on a whim and Netflix's flippant attitude toward queer shows in particular. Dead Boy Detective Agency on Twitter has retweeted every article on this topic so far, you can find their page here.
You can also use graphics such as the ones below to affirm that the cancellation was unjust.

I know this feels like a lot: know your limits and take care of yourself. Whether you do every single one of these things or just a few of these things, every llittle bit helps!
Even in the worst case scenario where nothing changes, this gesture will mean so much to everyone who made this show. We owe it to the writers, cast, crew, and each other to TRY. We can all agree that this show deserves at least another season and if Netflix isn't going to do it, they need to be open to selling it to someone who will. We cannot keep allowing them to axe these queer and diverse shows with little regard for their customers and their employees, but also because it sets a harmful standard in the industry that is destroying television.
Let's crack this case and bring our agency back! I truly believe in this community!! 💜 We can do this!!
If there are any spelling errors or issues with links let me know! I did this on mobile because I want to mobilize this information as quickly as possible! I'll be adding on to this with new developments and can answer any questions you all might have. Lets save our show!
I can really see Alice (Aka Alice Kane, Beth Kane, Aka red Alice) having a tea party on her own grave. It's just the sort of nonsense stupid shit she would do.
She would find her grave very amusing and would use that to taunt Kate.
Just imagine, Alice, on her own grave, having a tea party. And Kate yelling at her wtf why do you do that leave your grave alone.
Alice: but I love to come here and see how much you cared about me when I was gone!
Alice would have an unhealthy obsession with her grave and the fact that they were broken after her and would use that to tease her family.
I just want Alice having a tea party on her own grave
Can someone write that fanfic?

I feel like people forgot that redemption arc doesn't mean making the fans forgive the character.
Redemption arc is a process of a character actively trying to change their ways in order to redeem themselves from their past dids.
It's not just "I did bad things but I'm good now" (AHEM CATRA FROM SHE-RA).
If I killed a person but saved a life it does not compensate the life I took, I'm not "redeemed".
I LOVE good redemption stories but sometimes I feel like society forgot what redemption arc stands for. A lot of times it became to just making a bad character do good things so people will like/forgive them, not an actual redemption.
Wanna get on top of this now and say:
Remember in the Heartstopper fandom how the young actors got pressured and harassed to come out?
Let's all learn a lesson from that and absolutely NOT do that to the Dead Boy Detectives cast (or any other going forward).
I have mentioned in my previous post how everyone related to the biological bat family is Jewish, but I need to talk a moment about Damian Wayne's aunts.
Because this boy has 5 Jewish aunts. And not just from Bruce's side.
Let's review them, alright?
1. One of the most famous out of them, Kate Kane aka Batwoman. The Jewish icon and Bruce's cousin. (Once removed or-something still counts!)
2. Beth Kane or Red Alice, Kate's twin. She's his aunt as well, the same as Kate.
3. Bette Kane, aka flamebird, another cousin of Bruce. Also shares the same Jewish blood.
Just wait, now is the more interesting part I've been waiting for:
4. Nyssa Raatco. (Very different from the Arrowverse version).
Talia's older sister. Daughter of Ra's Al Ghul and her Jewish mom. A badass Jewish Arab assassin, and one of my favorite Jewish aunts of Damian.
And the last one might be more controversial, because I know she's *technically* not family but still
Harey Quinn is the 5 Jewish aunt of Damian I'LL DIE DEFENDING IT.
My source?
DC fans don't get mad at me I know Harley is not batfamily I just think she's an aunt figure to Damian. She's not part of the whole batfam, she's his aunt exclusively. She's Damian's fifth Jewish aunt fight me.
Yap I'll see myself out 🚪←🏃
Someone in the fandom gave me this idea and I think it's perfect.
Conclusions from watching Doctor Who so far:
The Doctor is a jellyfish. To be specific the immortal jellyfish, a special jellyfish that never dies, it just regenerates again.
The doctor is a jellyfish just in a human form on the outside. Prove me wrong.
Fineeeee I'll write the love potion one you fluff whores. I get it, I get it, you want a bunch of kisses and shenanigans.
I agree but it's the most complicated one!
Definitely the best idea though, but it's the longest.
But I'll start it. I don't think you'll leave me if I won't.
Now that I'm finished with my fencing fic, which fic should I write next?
Idk mates I'm mostly going out with a vibe but I'm curious to see Tumblr's preference. I have like 20 fics ideas, this is just what I feel like the most right now.
Call me Rubèn!! Or Ru / Ben if we're friends.✡️🌈 no pronouns/he/they/it.Used to be multi fandom, mostly Dead Boy Detectives right now. I swear this account had other subjects before.Usually mostly DC but I spit out a lot of random fandoms shit.
