Fuck this is GOLD the whole dancing sequence of the skeletons of dead boys detectives I didn't know this existed
Btw I saw it on twitter where it also explains the details from the opening credits https://x.com/Bowtiedino/status/1796971544545038682?t=GtscLrWq6-_J-xlINf6vrA&s=19
Charles really said "she's a lot like you, maybe that's why I like her so much" while making THAT face, and "the answer's gotta be somewhere inside that brain of yours" while gently tapping Edwin's temple, and "they won't separate us" and "I'm not leaving you", and he kept being frustrated and jealous by every one of Edwin's love interests, and that slutty little "my smile can be prETTy convincing", and being overprotective of Edwin, and comparing them to Orpheus and Eurydice, and all this just so that he could stand on the stairs of hell, gently caressing Edwin's collar bones with his thumbs and saying "i can't really say im IN love with you".
here’s the closeted furries “hey man… can u bum me a cig” and “the one uncle nobody invites to the family reunion but SOMEONE keeps telling him where it is anyways”
if you want an idea of what john is like, imagine hau from pokemon sumo
ALSO the ppl who kept asking me for trans thomas art, HERE he’s trans in this au (;
“Why did they not question their new friend had the same name as the witches bird?” well it’s actually a deeply thought out reference to the comics that I’m really glad they included and that reference is that the boys are dumbasses
charles rowland insane the more i think about him. what do u mean he chose hanging out with the edwardian ghost he just met over going to heaven... like for funzies he said idk what the afterlife will be so maybe instead we can be friends. he is the sweetest little guy
I will never not be devastated at the fact that Edwin, this (forever-)16-year-old who doesn't know how to fight like Charles, or use a weapon, or anything like that, can run so much faster than Charles, or anybody in the show for that matter. Because he's had to. He's had to for 70 years. And he's still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Crystal (in her 'past life') learnt to insult people because (it seems like) that was the only way people would listen to her (aka her parents).
Charles learnt to immediately go on the offensive (to protect others, not himself) because he can't let anyone else be hurt the way he was hurt by the person who was supposed to care for him.
Niko learnt to forgive people and take the kindest route because that was how her dad taught her to be, how he'd want her to be.
Jenny learnt to close herself off from people because she's been too open in the past, and she can't afford to be vulnerable again.
And Edwin learnt to run, because there was no point in fighting back, because the only way he wasn't going to have to watch his own corpse be horrifically murdered again and again was if he ran.
The final scene of the show is the first time he's stopped in one hundred and eight years.
I wish I knew about men like these growing up, I wish I knew that trans men could be successful after a lifetime of never seeing anyone ‘like me’ excelling in life. So here are some trans men - some that you may have heard of, some that you may not - that are successful in a range of careers. Never let being trans hold you back, never think you can’t do something, never think there is not a place for you.

Someone today will read Shakespeare’s hamlet and say omg he’s just like me fr. Another person will read moby dick and proclaim Ishmael as an adhd king.
A person grieving for their recently deceased lover reads the iliad and they watch as Achilles rages and rages and god how righteous anger fueld by love is so devastating that it’s ramifications still affect the world several thousand years later.
We might one day settle down and read the epic of gilgamesh and watch as a king has to accept the death of the person he loved the most. One of the very first stories ever written and it was about coping with death, and how to grieve.
We don’t read classics because they’re old, we read them because they remind us that we are never alone. That a character created over 500 years ago struggled with the exact same problems we all still have today. That even a king from centuries past had to deal with death just like me. That’s what makes stories so powerful–they prove to us that we are never truly alone in what we are feeling.
