I swear to god, if Netflix cancels another really good queer found family ghost show with a badass but underrated teenage woman of color who can see ghosts and has a special power causing her to team up with the teen boy ghosts and where they have to face a villain who can make their souls disappear, I will be so fucking pissed.

One of my favorite things about Dead Boy Detectives is when Edwin gets all lecture-y and serious and Charles is just staring at him like this

Another absolute need for S2: Edwin flirting back at Charles, at least once.
Charles, leaning over Edwin reading a book: I'm just saying, my smile is pretty convincing...
Edwin, looking up at Charles from under his lashes: I rather agree. It could convince me to do a great many things.
Charles, face blank, staring: *404 ERROR. RESPONSE NOT FOUND. PLEASE REBOOT.*
Edwin: *turns back to his book wearing the same satisfied, flirty smirk he wore as he walked away from the Cat King*

one of my favorite things about dead boy detectives is that it doesn’t take its monsters too seriously because the monsters themselves aren’t the scary part - it’s the symbolism, the things they represent, that are truly scary. yeah, teeth face and the sprites and the demon that apologized for dragging edwin to hell are goofy because they’re not what we’re meant to be scared of. the real horrors are parental abuse, internalized homophobia, xenophobia, bullying, abusive relationships, stalking… i could go on and on. anyway this show is brilliant and i need 20 more seasons of it please and thank you

I will never get over the introduction of the Cat King. Like, there has to be 146 cats in the scene where they all take the detective trio to meet him. Pretty much all the cats on display, to show off his prowess.
The Cat King makes a point of asking which one of them used a leash spell against one of his cats. The cat replies with something like "The scrawny one who just had the nerve to talk to you" and the Cat King uses that as an excuse to get Edwin alone and hit on him.
TCK knows Edwin's name, without Edwin disclosing it. TCK is wearing Charles' socks as part of his unique and intimidating (erotic) clothing. I'm convinced the neon sign in TCK's lair is there because Edwin was so fascinating by the neon sign at the butchers.
TCK is down so bad before he even meets Edwin, and every encounter frustrates him and makes him fall even more.
Love him for that. Most pathetic meow meow.

There are a lot of reasons we need Dead Boy Detectives S2. A LOT.
But what I need, desperately, is Charles Rowland's Season of Perpetual Bisexual Panic.
You know, to balance out Edwin Payne's Season of Perpetual Gay Panic.
