Charles is anything but straight ok

[teaforthotxxx]

edwin has the audacity to be like "what's gay? i'm not gay!" and then to sit like this

[teaforthotxxx]

Anyone else think about how in the first episode Edwin reassures Charles that he will personally prevent the two of them being separated in the afterlife should Death find them again but in the end it's Charles who is the one who ends their supposed-to-be-eternal separation because Edwin promised they'd always be together and Charles is going to hold him to it come Hell or high water

she’s so iconic.

Crystal is so personal to me because it is never too late to change, or try to make amends, or realise you were not who you'd like to be. She's doing great, i love her so much guys

What do I do this with this? Hello?

the cat king is perfectly written because just like a real life cat he has no sense of personal space or boundaries

(but at least he is a fair and consentual cat king)

FELLAS IS IT GAY TO SIT AROUND A LANTERN WITH ANOTHER BOY AS HE DIES (AND YOU'RE ALSO A GHOST) ??????????? FELLAS IS IT GAY TO SEE ANOTHER BOY (WHO IS A GHOST) JUST AS HE'S ESCAPED FROM HELL AND FIND COMFORT IN HIM AS YOU'RE DYING FROM HYPOTHERMIA AND INTERNAL BLEEDING ??????????? IS IT GAY TO DECIDE TO STAY AS A GHOST AFTER YOU INEVITABLY DIE BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO LEAVE YOUR NEW "FRIEND" ?????????????

If you, too, are looking for hope that Painland could be a thing:

Charles looked hurt when Edwin was talking to Monty, and he was clearly jealous when Edwin read Monty's book instead of talking to him.

Charles and Crystal don't seem to have a very meaningful romantic relationship. They're clearly into each other, and great friends besides, but it feels like they kiss because they want a distraction, not because of a deep desire.

In Episode 5, Charles is clearly projecting his relationship with Edwin onto the jocks. He's quick to say that "they're just mates" after Ritchie is gross and homophobic. What the jocks are or aren't doesn't matter. The important thing is that Charles immediately felt the need to shut down any conversation about whether or not two dead mates could be gay.

After Edwin and Charles hug later in Episode 5, Edwin realizes his feelings for his friend and puts his hand to his chest. Then, in Episode 8, Charles touches his chest after they hug coincidence? I think not.

Also in the finale, Charles says that he has a pretty convincing smile and leans in close to Edwin. It seems rather odd to do that after your friend confessed they liked you. Maybe I'm alone in this, but it seemed like really playful flirting?

Niko points out a blue and a red starfish and says that "they're in love". Blue is Edwin's colour and red is for Charles. This feels like subtle foreshadowing.

And Charles choose to run away with Edwin? Instead of going to heaven or something? After only knowing him for a few hours?

I've seen and read some cast interviews, and I've read what the show runners have said about the pairing. I think that what we're hearing is somewhat conflicted, so I'm not reading too much into it for any interpretation.

There are many interpretations of their relationship, of course, and all are valid. My view (maybe fueled by delusion and little else) is that Charles may have feelings for Edwin, but he's unaware of them or unwilling to acknowledge them for some reason.

Also, even if Painland never happens, I don't want Charles and Crystal to stay together romantically. I don't think that their relationship is very healthy in that regard.
