🔥CHARACTER REVIEW TIME🔥

(Can you tell that my portuguese teacher didn't come so I have 100 minutes without shit to do)

ANYWAYS, since I'm in the 4th episode I think it's a good time to see first impressions

MAIN CHARACTERS

CHARLES

I love him so much, like I was 10 minutes in and saying "I would die for you, I would kill for you, just ask and I'll do it"

Favourite character obviously

Wanna put him in a jar and protect him from everything bad in the world

He's brunette, has curls, is the sunshine character, has daddy issues and uses humour to cope so obviously he's also on the list of fictional crushes

Also something that I absolutely love about this show is that they pick this "stereotypical characters" and make them better.

Like, in this case the always happy character would have a ton of trauma but the show (or the characters, but that's a talk for another post) would not acknowledge this, they would show real depressed shit and then completely ignore it for the rest of the show.

Or just show it in the end of the series then kill him off.

But here they're letting people know from the beginning AND it's visible that the fact that he hides it is gonna be a major plot point in the show which makes me SO HAPPY

And in the loop scenes they made sure to focus on Charles face and reaction every. single. time.

Anways, I'm soo curious to learn more about his trauma and death and to see his character development

And he's so cute and trying so hard to make sure everyone likes him and lighten the mood and to not be a bother and to make everyone happy and I'm gonna cry

EDWIN

I also love him so goddamn much

He's also going in the jar, don't worry I'll protect you from everything

He's my baby (he was born more two hundred years before me and is my age BUT HE'S MY BABY)

Seriously someone needs to sit him down and say that everything is going to be ok (and get death the fuck away from him, my boy does not deserve hell, he deserves to be with his boyfriend best friend)

Also love this concept that everyone around him knows he's not straight, he knows that he's not straight but somehow he's still in the closet. Like, he never says he's straight, but he says to Niko that Mounty and him both boys, so one cannot be into the other and when Niko says that boys can like like each other he just turns the conversation around

I think they're writing that so well. It's subtle yet obvious, it's so good

Also, he's autistic, definitely in the spectrum. He obviously doesn't know because the first diagnosed case of autism was in 1943

And the dynamics that he has with everyone is SO GODDAMN GOOD

CRYSTAL

Someone give this girl an aspirin, a therapist and a bed

My girl cannot catch a break

One more in the protection jar, don't worry, I'll find your family for you, you need to rest

Overall great character, she's sassy, she's funny and she's the only emotional intelligent one

She's definitely gonna be the bridge for Edwin and Charles' romantically relationship

Like she's Miss "Edwin is acting weird because he's jeaulous of the sexual tension that we have, Charles" and Miss "Charles got stuck in the loop because he has strong feelings towards abusive fathers because he had one, Edwin"

Really love that we have someone to smack this idiots and say "You're in love with each other" because they are not gonna realise that by themselves

Also, DAVID GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER, SHE DOES NOT DESERVE YOU. I'LL GET THE CROSS, I SWEAR I'LL DO IT.

NIKO

She's so cute, I wanna protect her from this cruel, cruel world

This means that I already have her in the jar, no one else is gonna get to her

At first I thought she was gonna be this really closed and introvert character that was gonna talk when absolutely necessary and was a bit emo. But like her hair her personality lightened up as soon as the parasites got out (she was sick it's normal that she was wuth a really depressed attutude but Bea's too focused on the story to remember how people act socially)

I really wanna hug her, I need to

Also love how eager she is to help and how she has nothing to do with the boys , she's a "cas closed" but even Edwin can't say no to her

I feel like her "almost dying" trauma is gonna be a bit underrated (although I see that they are not completely ignoring because of the 3rd episode where she felt like she couldn't deal with death since she almost met her the week before) but I want to believe the opposite because until now the show has not disappointed me in terms of traumas (or in other terms really)

SIDE CHARACTERS

ESTHER

I don't have much to say, I like her in the twisted "this is a fun villain" way

I'm really curious to know more about this Lilith and immortality thing

She did loose some points in my book with the whole torturing the crow thing

I am ✨️traumatised✨️

CAT KING

I'm so confused about his character

Like, he's a really fun character

And his outfits are great

But at the same time, get the fuck away from Edwin, in both the scenes with both of them I was so scared that he was going to the "no consent" zone

I do love that both the scenes where he's in he slays the outfit, tries to drag Edwin out the glass closet, fails, keeps him trapped so he can try to do this one more time and goes away

Like, he has one objective and one objective only and honestly, respect

JENNY

My patient queen

I have not much more to say

She accidentally adopted two really weird teenagers and regrets that so much

I respect her so much

As an older sister, if she snaps, grabs a knife and kills them both out of annoyance I would support it

That's it 🫶

If you haven't understood yet I have way too many thoughts about this series

Hi, dynamics time. (I am stuck in the human snake (I forgot the word in english so bear with me) to buy prom tickets and this is gonna take a while

Also, I'm on the fourth episode

CHARLES X EDWIN

They need to kiss, that's a must

I love how they know so much about each other (i.e. Charles looking at Edwin closing his fists and immediately knowing something is wrong based on something that hapenned almost 20 years ago) and have known each other for 30 years but are still so oblivious to some shit ("what do you mean Edwin is jealous of you?" "What do you mean Charles has some deep daddy issues?")

These guys have 3 moods: super competent; they share one (1) braincells and it's on vacation; they are the cutest duo to ever exist. Honestly? Those are the only ones that people need

They're just so goddamn cute

Soulmates energy

CHARLES X CRYSTAL

I love how they know each other for like a week but if you saw them on the streets you would think they have known each other their entire lives (actually you would think that Crystal is crazy for talking to herself in the middle of the street but whatever)

They match so well, it feels like two puzzle clicking together

But I don't want them to turn into a romantic relationship (I wouldn't have less consideration for the show or anything similar to that, I just wouldn't appreciate it much)

ALSO HER UNDERSTANDING THAT CHARLES HAS SOME DEEP TRAUMA AND TRYING TO TALK ABOUT IT YES. I've already spoke about it when talking about the characters but them actually seeing Charles trauma is so important to me

CRYSTAL X EDWIN

I love their bickering so much

I can't wait to see one of them being in mortal danger and the other getting worried sick but completely deny it when it is mentioned afterwards 🫶

I need to mention the scene where they're talking about how Charles is stuck in a loop because that has altered my brain chemistry

Like the characters are AKNOWLADGING THAT THE CHARACTER THAT IS ALWAYS HAPPY SHOULD NOT BE THIS HAPPY

I SWEAR I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY CHARACTER DO THAT

IT'S ALWAYS THE "oh this sunshine? Traumatised? No way"

I'm glad that I took that out of my chest

#this is not finished but I decided to watch the rest of the series instead of finishing these #rip to Niko and her dynamics I swear I love her I just completely forgot about this post and now it doesn't make sense to keep writing #dead boy detectives #beareviewsdeaboydetectives
