george rexstrew's rent was DUE on that last episode of dead boy detectives bc that scream he scrempt for niko is gut wrenching and hurts me everytime

I just keep thinking about how Crystal is still a Mean Girl - she starts right off by trying to insult Charles, she gets vicious at both Charles and Edwin, she enjoys tormenting Twitchy Richie - but surrounded by better people than she used to be she is able to become someone good, nevertheless

And on the one hand, the obvious hand, you have Charles. He gets insulted and just goes “I’ve spent the last 30 years with the person I love most in the world insulting me any time he gets moody; I know it’s not really meant and he actually loves me; why would I bother getting upset about this?” and lets it slide off him without a moment’s notice, not even considering rising to it. Crystal doesn’t get what she expects to get out of it when she’s mean, and it’s obvious how that helps her in learning other ways of interacting with people

But on the other hand I don’t think we can discount how Edwin helps, either. He DOES rise to it, he gets just as vicious right back - and then displays care and concern and kindness for her. He lets her get her meanness out but shows her that being vicious with your words doesn’t have to mean being vicious with your heart. He bickers with her, gives her an outlet, and then goes back to treating her exactly the same as before their superficially venomous argument.

And, again, she doesn’t get out of it what she expects to get out of being mean, because he rises to it: he doesn’t get beaten down. He isn’t scared or cowed, she doesn’t get a rush of power; he isn’t pushed away, she doesn’t get the safety of solitude; he isn’t sad or hurt; he isn’t even angry in the “any attention is good attention” way her neglected heart craves. He just treats this as part of the natural course of interaction, unaffected; regardless of how she talks to him he still just treats her the same way he would any other living girl at first (except Niko, of course, you’re an angel and we’re all delighted you’re here) and then like a friend.

That’s also sorta mirrored with Niko and Jenny: Niko fails to even consider the possibility of Crystal being mean, and that helps; but also Jenny does get cussed and snapped at and does react but maintains a steadying presence, letting it slide off in her own way that involves saying “what the fuck” and then going back to being quietly, albeit profanely, kind, and that helps, too.

I dunno just! Edwin and Crystal’s friendship and how they can take their bitchiness out on each other while still caring about each other and how that helps Crystal change, it’s important to me.

All of Hell's layout shots from Edwin's journal, in order

Heya! I needed to take some screenshots for reference when writing a fic, so I thought it'd be nice to share :)

(Under the cut I've added everything I could make out in the writtings)

"LAYERS OF HELL" across two pages. These are based on Dante's Inferno, the first part of Divine Comedy, and the nine circles of hell. (Shout out to my friend who helped me with the 10 "rooms" of Fraud <3)

Left page:

- Vestibule (unnumbered, right on top of Limbo, referring to the staircase)

I - Limbo

II - Lust

III - Gluttony

IV - Avarice

V - Wrath

VI - Heresy

VII - Violence

VIII - Fraud

IX - Treachery

- There are 10 "rooms" described between Violence and Fraud, referring to the 10 trenches of the eight circle of hell (Fraud) and numbered as such.

Room I reads: whipped.

Room II reads: covered in excrement.

Room III reads: flipped (?) feet set on fire.

Room IV reads: encased(?) in boiled pitch.

Room V reads: head turned backwards.

Room VI reads: wear lead robes.

Room VII reads: snake(?) pit turn(?) into snake.

Room VIII reads: (?) big flames.

Room IX reads: (?) -> quality is too low to tell; considering the trench of which it is based on, probably along the lines of 'mangled', 'mutilated', 'maimed', etc

Room X reads: leprosy, hungry(?), dark.

Right page:

- Endless staircase

- "UPPER HELL" encompassing layers I to IV.

Beside layers III and IV, read: heavy labour(?), everyone in your way

- "LOWER HELL" encompassing layers V to IX.

Beside layers VI and VII, read: trapped, impaled, submerged in blood. Beside layer VIII, read: snake pit, gain human form by biting other humans. Beside layer IX, read: frozen + stuck + chewed on

Left page:

- LIMBO

Right page:

- "DO NOT RING" is crossed out near a bell. Dashed line points to where the bell is on the room.

Left page:

- Arrow pointing to the claw machine, referencing the passage behind it. Note reads: Back to Doll House. No.

- Circle on the bottom right, just above a door: Wrong way. AVARICE. Everything too heavy.

- GLUTTONY

Right page:

- LUST

Rewatching dead boy detectives and bridgerton at the same time was not a good idea GUYS!!! My brain is fried and the only coherent thought running through my mind is that friends to lovers trope IS THE ULTIMATE TYPE OF LOVE I'M BEGGING Y'ALL TO LISTEN

#dead boy detectives #painland #bridgerton #polin #im brainrotting #brainrotting so hard rn #save me please

[alibrasmind]

within the first five minutes of dead boy detectives i thought to myself "yeah these two definitely have something going on"

[alibrasmind]

Colin in season 1: when Marina, whom he thought he's in love with, asks him to kiss her, he refuses saying that he's a gentleman and would maintain her honor.

Colin in season 3: when Penelope, whom he thought of as a friend, asks him to kiss her, he kisses her not once but twice.

people referring to charles as edwin's "straight bff" oh my god charles please gET BEHIND ME NOW!!

are you closing your eyes whenever charles is the first to initiate touch between them? plugging your ears whenever this kid wax poetic about his best friend to anyone who will listen?

did you see the scene where he tried to befriend monty, got shut down, and then turned and looked back as him and edwin had a conversation with that look on his face? (and yet never has any issue whenever niko talks / hangs out with him btw!!!)

or maybe, how about, when edwin brought up the cat king and charles said something like, "we're still getting out of here, the goal is to go home" or whatever he says (something along those lines ok!)

like this isn't even including the entire attic scene, or him risking his life for him to save him from Hell

(...and the fact he said "we have literally forever, to figure out what the rest means" iDK GUYS THAT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A REJECTION TO ME!!!!)

this also not including the comics which BTW he was said to be very bi-coded so..!!!

never use that word associated with my son ever again!!!

[alibrasmind]

“You are clever and warm and…” COLIN BRIDGERTON CAN YOU FUCKING TRY TO AT LEAST ACT APPROPRIATELY FOR PROPRIETY ‘S SAKE??? LIKE I KNOW WE AGREED THEY WERE CUTE LOSERS TOGETHER BUT THIS IS A LEVEL OF SOCIAL IGNORANCE THAT LEAVES EVEN ME AND MY ND ASS BREATHLESS, SERIOUSLLYYYY WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM!!!???!

[alibrasmind]

Colin: men are simple creatures, just bat your eyes and wave your fan.

Penelope: *bats her eyes and waves her fan*

Colin (sweating): Fuck she’s good.
