Doing This

My bad, it was a maltshop not a bar. I misremembered. But everything else I've said is still absolutely relevant.

Crystal is 100% the girl that would have fake IDs are you kidding me?

How she got through the airport security though- now that's the interesting part we really need to ask ourselves.

My personal headcanon for how Crystal was able to go through airplanes security but didn't know her full name even though she needs her ID and such for this stuff-

Guys. Come on. She 100% had multiple fake IDs, are you kidding me?

In the show we see her going to a bar in the first episode, where David catches her again when she's hiding at the bathroom, and we know she's not a legal adult.

Crystal is 100% the kind of girl that had a bunch of fake IDs. Be for real.

She probably didn't have her real one on her. David must've left it behind and used just the fake ones to get into places.

She probably hypnotized people in the airport with her powers to not look deep into them and let her go pass security. (Not my original headcanon but I've seen it somewhere and I agree with it).

She probably had some cash on her too at the start, for the flights and one week's rent (she tells Jenny she has rent on her when she comes in, and "you're the only room in town I can maybe afford". So she might've had some cash in the beginning (she got some clothes too, didn't she?) but it has probably ran out during the show).

The real question is why the hell did they need 3 plane flights *and* a ferry?? Maybe it was for a comical punch. But that's still a bit weird. And such a waste.

Maybe the fact she didn't have all of her identification papers is what made them have to take a more complicated route.

This hold up for sure made Edwin get pissed too. He probably bitched about it to Charles the whole way.

Welcome to the agency, Barbara.

Unfortunately I will not be able to finish the payneland fic I wanted on time to publish it on my birthday, however I will publish a snippet for now!

It's a fencing fic, because I'm a fencer Edwin truther, and the boys 100% fence as a game between them so my fic is based about that. Edwin tries to suggest fencing to talk about things and resolve the awkwardness that started between them after the love confession. It's not very long after Port Townsend.

I'm going to try to continue working on it to finish it on time but I'm at a bar on the beach that has loud distracting music to celebrate my birthday, I can't make any promises. However I will publish it tomorrow. Here is the snippet for now!

Charles was sitting on the desk, his legs on the chair, staring vacantly out of a window for the past few hours.

Edwin, who was reading a book on the sofa, eventually had enough of this new awkward distance between them and snapped, deciding he was going to do something about it, shake Charles out of it in any way he could.

.......

He tossed Charles his foil- a golden one with a left handed handle. Edwin’s foil was silver, matching Charles’ set. “Pick it up, we are going to fence.” He declared.

“What?” Charles looks up, shaking off from his thoughts and turned to his best friend, blinking surprised.

“I said, pick it up, we are going to fence. Frankly, I've had enough of your distant behaviour recently and I cannot let it pass any second longer. You cannot fool me, Charles Rowland, I know you, and after Port Townsend you have never made the return quite to your senses yet. So we are going to fence, and we are going to talk, in the way we do things. Because clearly something has gone wrong with you recently you refuse to let me in about.”

“Mate, there is nothing wro-” Charles started making himself force out a laugh in defence, but Edwin cut him.

“I have simply confessed to being in love, Charles, I have not been turned into a fool in all that regards you. I have known you for over 30 years, Charles Rowland, and I can tell when things are wrong. Yet you don’t come to me, although you are clearly bothered by me. Sometimes, I have to wonder if you still consider us best friends after all-” his voice break, trailing off.

“What? Mate, of course you are-” Charles rushed to defend against Edwin's words.

“Then talk with me, Charles. Fence with me, like we used to. Because I miss having my best friend around, and I don’t know what to think of you recently. Talk to me, please.” Edwin moves Charles’ foil on the desk closer to him, offering it to him again.

Charles took a few moments of thinking in silence before he responded again. They could fence, he supposes, he did miss them too, but- “Look, Edwin, mate, I don’t want to fight you- You are still pretty banged up from Esther’s house.” Not a lie, they both still had some traces of their iron burns. Esther’s house was still relatively fresh- they tried to bury it but the events of Port Townsend only took place twelve days ago.

Unfortunately, iron burns take an annoying amount of time to heal. Although not as bad now, slight traces of their burns still left.

They have been taking cases slower because of it, working on easy ones to start. Both of them acting more out of concern for the other than actually to themselves.

“Oh, you assume you would be able to get close to me?” Edwin teased arching his brow and Charles bit his lips, cheeks flushing slightly. Bollocks. Okay, his self confidence was hot-

Seeing him announcing it cockily and sure of himself like that ignited a fond and playful spark in Charles- he liked his overconfidence.

“I assure you, even in my lesser state I can still, as I believe they say today, ‘kick your ass’. You, on the other hand, have been shutting off from me for weeks, and I simply will not sit here and allow our friendship to continue suffering any longer. So please, fence with me again. Challenge me, if you will.”

“Edwin-” Charles gruntle sighing pretending to be rolling his eyes in decline, then he quickly picks up his foil going out to a surprise attack, a spark of mischief igniting back in him.

Adrenaline was flooding his ghost veins, in a good way-

He loved this. This was them. It just felt right.

Edit: fic posted! It's the most recent post below the pinned one on my blog!

Comic: Nightwing volume 4 annual 2022

I didn't notice any people talking about the League of super pets comic that is in the background??

I thought this detail was super cute. I love this type of easter eggs in comics I wish more comic artists would make small references like.

I wish there was a second League of Super pets movie. I think this movie was great and DC need to produce more of this type of content.

You've probably heard that Dead Boy Detectives got cancelled.

What you maybe haven't heard is that there is an extremely active ongoing campaign to try and get it renewed. You might have seen our billboards around lately. ✨

Want to join the campaign? Here are some things you can do to help: 💀 There's a petition to get the show renewed! It has 21,000+ signatures and counting. You can sign it here. Ask your friends to sign. Ask your family!

💀: Follow this Tumblr! Since you're here on Tumblr already, it's the easiest way to get news about the campaign.

💀: Join our Save Dead Boy Detectives Discord server. This is where a lot of the planning happens. We post regular updates and easy action items that members can take to help make the call for renewal more visible.

💀: Participate in our letter-writing initiative. Sending physical mail is one of the very best ways to get a company's attention.

💀: Keep streaming the show! Watch numbers are a huge indication to streaming services that there's audience demand.

As the cast and crew have said, never say never. Let's give them all a chance to finish telling their story. ✨

Damn apparently George Rextrew closed his cameos I sent him one just today and got it an hour later I was so lucky-

Probably god for my financial state tbh😭 I have spent so much money on that (worth every goddamn dime).

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 wish I was joking saying this. Unfortunately I'm way too tired for any nonsense.

Dear dead boy detectives, I would really like my ability to sleep back. This is a genuine request.

I have been literally laying in bed after closing my eyes out tiredness for hours, yet I have yet to fall asleep. Instead the dead boy detectives have filled my every thought the entire time. I have been stuck in a state not being able to fall asleep thinking about them for literal hours (gay) straight without realising how long has passed.

You have taken my ability to sleep hostage, I kindly ask of you to return it. I have job tomorrow and I need to sleep.

I have procrastinated making this post for so longgg

I haven't seen anyone mentioning it yet??

I know it's also a common symbol pin, but Charles' smiley pin looks like a reference to Death's smiley pin she wears in 'Death: The High Cost of Living' to me.

Come on- it's a bit different but still both have relatively similar long black coats with a smiley pin.

It makes a lot of sense, there is a lot of similarity between Charles and Death. They are both the comforters, it's a pretty big part of who they are. They dedicate their life for others' sake, generally such a smiley person but they are also ready to defend and be fierce; they have so much love to give to the world and they try to express it by always wearing a smile.

Death would have loved Charles. They are so similar at their core and would actually get along great.

I know it might sound like a bit of a stretch but I think it's pretty reasonable.

Constant headaches I would probably have.

Another day, another Dead Boy Detectives question! ✨
