Only Neil Gaiman would make a character who is a gay cat god who wants to fuck a repressed Edwardian boy

The walrus man is teaching us the very important lesson that there are animal people in this universe that aren't romancable for our dating sim protagonist.

[shadowbender19]

I'm truly sorry for all of this. For what I did. I didn't know.

Diversity win! Your crow familiar who you turned into a human person is gay and likes astrology

During Edwin's "you're lonely" speech to Cat King, Cat King's openly glancing at his mouth. Also, I love that that speech is one of the few times we can Openly hear Edwin being sincere and honest and not worrying about how he's perceived. Leaving that here.

neil gaiman needs to stop with the bitchy light academia/snarky dark themed immortal beings who come to love each other over thousands of years or im going to start committing crimes

[shadowbender19]

i was about to joke about the dead boy detectives’ moments of goofy expository dialogue (“We have to hide from Death now or she’ll take us!” “I’m a fair and consensual cat king”) but I just got to the walrus monologue omg

charles: um u ok m8?

edwin: this is such a mess

shopkeep who just met them: A real mess is one day finding out that your life’s been taken away. I was once a mighty walrus, free in the ocean, a proud king of the deep blue-

YOOOO MASON IS ON BOARD!

@nualaofthefaerie tweeted this after we were geeking out yesterday about how much Lukas Gage reminded us of Desire and I joked that he was Desire's child.

Listen I am full on headcanoning this into reality. That Cat King was faaaar too much like Desire for me to ignore it. Huuuuge Desire vibes!

Clearly Desire themself agrees with us!

So what are we thinking? Talk to meeee about this! Who is the other parent? Lukas Gage is a child of the Endless with 9 lives and whole host of magical powers and probably a lot of parental issues twisting him up. Is Desire a good parent? Highly unlikely lol. But you gotta admit it makes for excellent fanfiction. :P

Edwin is the main character in dating sim. He just keeps encountering hot yet deeply troubled guys who want to rail him.

[shadowbender19]

I think I understand you better now. Ooh, do tell me all about me.

Edwin, looking at Crystal with distaste: I don’t think allowing the living to join the agency is a good idea. They’d only ruin things. Only bad will come of this.

Edwin: Not you, Niko. You’re an angel and we’re thrilled to have you.

how is it not one person is talking about the Ghost Post in dead boy detectives. imagine being such a mailman in your life that you continue doing it into the hereafter. no eternal rest while there’s mail to deliver. other ghosts don’t know why or how you do it. you are arcane to even the occult

all day in and out you just show up places and shout MAIL CALL and then say vaguely ominous things like “Mail gets delivered wherever you go” and before disappearing into the built in bookshelf. i want this job so bad
