NIKO SASAKI AND EDWIN PAYNE Dead Boy Detectives (2024-)

[silvercyclops]

Hi I have Dead Boy Detectives propoganda.

Do you like queerness? Do you like incredibly unhinged women? Do you like slightly hinged and deeply mean women? Do you like butchers? Do you like cats? Do you like the inherent loneliness of ignoring your authentic self because of fear? Do you like breaking cycles of abuse? Do you like learning to be a better person while handling who you used to be? Do you like generational trauma and generational healing? Do you like walruses?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you will enjoy this show. It’s got content that’s normally a hard pass for me (namely the endangerment of children and child/doll-themed horror), BUT Neil Gaiman’s shows always get a pass, because of the sheer humanity with which he depicts humanity. Things that would leave me anxious and rattled in anyone else hands, leave me instead feeling seen, connected, and a tiny bit healed when Neil writes them.

Anyway watch Dead Boy Detectives.

A lighthouse and a warning, all at once.

A lighthouse monster, to greet all the ships at sea!

character who is doomed by the narrative but essentially responds to it by going "nuh uh"

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.

If I was a ghost and my best ghost friend who I've been in love with for 30 years rescued me from hell and held me by the shoulders and said he wasn't in love with me at this very second but that we had forever to figure out our feelings for each other I think I'd simply pass away again

Just got off the Dead Boy Detectives livestream premiere and it inspired me to get back on Tumblr! Haven't been this excited for a show since the first season of Sandman (and for a long time before that). To anyone who joined the stream: I had so much fun taking with you all!

Also I drew this before the ep and couldn't tell what Crystal was wearing in the trailer. Oops.

"i have feelings for you" "i wasn't talking about you" EDWIN YOU CANT SAY THESE THINGS

#dead boy detectives #dead boy detectives spoilers #I was in SHAMBLES when he said that #his autistic swag too strong

I know Netflix is notorious for cancelling shows after one season so I tried to keep my expectations tempered for the inevitable cliffhanger ending we were going to get but I feel like everything wrapped up pretty nicely! A couple loose threads but most of my main wants were delivered on!

#dead boy detectives #dead boy detective spoilers #spoilers #I hope Monty comes back next season in his human form #we set up the line about his redemption arc and then didn't completely follow through #and then of course we need to see what's next for niko #and tragic mick!! I hope he finds his sea glass #but I was so worried Edwin's feelings for Charles would stay unsaid and the show would get accused of queer baiting #but they weren't! full on confession with a hint of reciprocation to come!!
