Niko: They're just upset. I know what it's like to want something you can't have.
Edwin: *fiddles with and looks at cat bracelet, pulls at collar like he's suddenly too hot in his clothes, fidgets uncomfortably*
Charles: *sudden thousand yard stare*

First meeting.
(You guys should really watch Dead Boy Detectives on Netflix. It's really good (and really queer))

What you said, @raina-at .
When they’re both gay, pretentious, autistic British detectives who share a London flat with their best friends (soulmates) and struggle to express emotion

Now I'm doubting again 🤣😂😍
But yes, the symbolism of it all is amazing, him literally stripped down, out of his usual armour!
Thank you so much for the interesting points you've made in answer to my question 😍
(Now to get this boy out of his layers... 😁🥵)
thank you to this tweet for giving me the perfect opportunity to ramble about edwin’s outfit during the confession scene because oh how i love it
the juxtaposition between these two scenes and what edwin wears is so good because he goes from an outfit he chose and put together when he planned to confess vs a blood stained shirt when he actually did but what i think a lot of people don’t realise is that edwin isn’t wearing pyjamas when he’s in hell, he’s wearing undergarments. he’s in an undershirt and drawers, which was typical edwardian underwear and it is such a perfect way to show how vulnerable he is in that moment. so often clothes are used as armour or a way to make oneself feel more confident and that’s exactly what edwin is doing when he made himself look, as niko says, really nice. a nice outfit and feeling good about yourself can go a long way in making yourself feel more ready to, i don’t know, confess your love to your best friend of 30 years. now compare that to what edwin’s wearing when he actually confesses and you immediately feel a sense of vulnerability and almost nakedness in that situation because the modern day equivalent is standing there in your boxers. all of that armour, all that confidence is gone, he is both literally and metaphorically bare. in the end it’s just edwin, in the most basic sense, baring his soul to charles and i think it’s so so beautiful

Edwin pulling boys since day 1 and it being about 99% of his entire problem is kinda funny actually

Is it undergarments? Because I thought so too, but my research shows so called union suits (one pieces that were worn around 1910 to 1920) with two pieces only coming later. And so I thought they are pyjamas, and my wife just pointed out that he died in his pyjamas?
His underwear is relevant to my interest 🥰🤣.
But I agree about everything else!

The fact we all clocked Charles bisexuality not because he was weirdly comfortable with staring at his best mate like he'd be willing to dedicate his entire existence to him but because this man couldn't sit straight for his life and literally used a fucking ladder instead of looking for a normal chair will never not be funny to me.
Not even the eyeliner, the corny slang or the slutty earring did it for us. It was all about him sitting too queer for a straight man.

Summary:
Ever since that night, whenever he looked at Edwin, he saw him as he had then: his ghostly skin flushed, his eyes half-lidded, his mouth slack and parted, tension written in the lines of his body. Worse was the memory of his soft lips and yielding mouth, the sharp tug of his fingers in Charles's hair, the filthy sounds he had made when Charles had sucked on his neck, raw and needy. He hadn't known that Edwin could let go like that. He hadn't known he would be so sensual.
It was a dangerous new insight. Once you knew these kinds of things about your mate, you couldn't unknow these things.
