bringing this meme back just for them <3
Bonus, because I think that I’m hilarious:
I have yet another obsession. (Please send help.)
Here are my frames for The Best Frames We Know project !
It was amazing to be able to join the project, everyone on the server is so nice and so skilled. Thank you Ez for making all of this possible !!
I had a lot of fun working on these, I experimented a lot and I think I finally understand how krita works ? (fingers crossed)
Role Reversal. Charles is from 1916. Edwin is from the 80s. Charles dresses formally, maybe a nice waistcoat. Edwin has a modest alternative look going. Charles, after 70 years in hell, smiles through anything to keep from looking broken. Edwin, who'd been living during the HIV/AIDS crisis, would never breathe of or process his sexuality. Maybe they still maintain their brain and brawn dynamic. People just get really confused when this kid gentleman is great at fisticuffs and pulls boxing gloves (or knuckle dusters!) from his bag. They get intimidated by the looks of this dark-clothed twink that chills everyone with a bitchy look and a little spellcasting.
Something about how they still find each other, and themselves, in every universe no matter the circumstances.
Hey hey, Tumblr.
Pssst pssst pssst
Charles worshipping Edwin's scars.
I wish there were more fics that focused on them having physical scarring. Because there are so many interesting stuff we can do with it.
The insecurity, the trust you need for showing them.
And we already know Charles adores Edwin's flaws. He doesn't just accept them, he loves Edwin's flaws- him being bitchy and mean is genuinely a flaw and Charles loves that about him.
Charles would've loved kissing all of Edwin's scars👀 maybe scars from hell, or scars from being tied up.
He would've loved staring at him with heart eyes thinking he's the most perfect thing ever.
It doesn't have to be sexual, I just want them adoring each other's form. Loving each other's flaws and everything. Because they would. They would adore each other's flaws.
So. Just saying.
Living this out in the air.
If anyone wants to write that....
Please @ me.
New fic posting!
Fandom: Dead Boy Detectives (TV show)
Pairing: Charles Rowland/Edwin Payne
Characters: Charles Rowland, Edwin Payne, briefly mentioned Crystal Palace.
Other tags: domestic fluff, cuddling & snuggling, boys in love, tooth rotting fluff, established relationship, talking about their relationship and more.
Description:
They adapt into their new relationship astonishingly fast.
They kiss- quite a lot, and hold hands, taking any excuse they can to be close to each other- grossing Crystal out from their lovesick behaviour sometimes, grinning and chuckling when she rolls her eyes in dismay at their open affectionate behaviour.
They are in love, completely and utterly besotted with each other. And while all this is absolutely wonderful, a question wouldn’t leave Edwin’s mind- what are they?
Edwin has questions about their relationship, he wants to find an official word with Charles call their new recent romantic relationship to make the romance part of their relationship official. Charles just seems keen on kissing his partner.
Perhaps they have also always simply been everything always all at once altogether anyway. So can one word truly fit?
I'm slowly starting to publish stuff more and more and I'm proud of me.
Wayyyy later than what I expected to finish, I'm finally finished with my Payneland fencing fic! Thank you so much to everybody that offered themselves as my beta, I really appreciate that!
Relationships: Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland, Edwin Payne & Charles Rowland (the fic focus on their friendship specifically, the romance is just an ending bonus).
Rating: gen
Trigger warnings: blades/ fencing, dysfunctional gays, Charles that's so fucking gay you cannot say that to your platonic best friend,
Other stuff: fencer Edwin Payne, touch starved Charles & touch starved Edwin if you squint, love confession, hurt/comfort, eventual cuddling, teens being teens, slight miscommunication the first half of the fic, okay they're really miscommunicating at the start but it gets better don't worry!
Link to the snippet
Edwin and Charles' friendship come first before anything else, before any romantic feelings ever even started. This is why when shortly after Port Townsend when Charles is starting to act off and Edwin feels it's because of his confession affecting them, although Charles is denying the accusation, he confronts Charles to talk with him again the way they do things: He makes him fence with him.
And Charles can never tell Edwin no, is he? Or: Charles tried to isolate himself away from Edwin, Edwin couldn't let that stand. The boys being teenagers and fooling around fencing.
Based on my fencing history so I actually come with knowledge about that! I kinda took advantage of that for creating this fic.
I hope you'll like it! I really enjoyed writing it. Charles is my favourite out of them but damn fencer Edwin is ruining my brain.
Unfortunately I will not be able to finish the payneland fic I wanted on time to publish it on my birthday, however I will publish a snippet for now!
It's a fencing fic, because I'm a fencer Edwin truther, and the boys 100% fence as a game between them so my fic is based about that. Edwin tries to suggest fencing to talk about things and resolve the awkwardness that started between them after the love confession. It's not very long after Port Townsend.
I'm going to try to continue working on it to finish it on time but I'm at a bar on the beach that has loud distracting music to celebrate my birthday, I can't make any promises. However I will publish it tomorrow. Here is the snippet for now!
Charles was sitting on the desk, his legs on the chair, staring vacantly out of a window for the past few hours.
Edwin, who was reading a book on the sofa, eventually had enough of this new awkward distance between them and snapped, deciding he was going to do something about it, shake Charles out of it in any way he could.
.......
He tossed Charles his foil- a golden one with a left handed handle. Edwin’s foil was silver, matching Charles’ set. “Pick it up, we are going to fence.” He declared.
“What?” Charles looks up, shaking off from his thoughts and turned to his best friend, blinking surprised.
“I said, pick it up, we are going to fence. Frankly, I've had enough of your distant behaviour recently and I cannot let it pass any second longer. You cannot fool me, Charles Rowland, I know you, and after Port Townsend you have never made the return quite to your senses yet. So we are going to fence, and we are going to talk, in the way we do things. Because clearly something has gone wrong with you recently you refuse to let me in about.”
“Mate, there is nothing wro-” Charles started making himself force out a laugh in defence, but Edwin cut him.
“I have simply confessed to being in love, Charles, I have not been turned into a fool in all that regards you. I have known you for over 30 years, Charles Rowland, and I can tell when things are wrong. Yet you don’t come to me, although you are clearly bothered by me. Sometimes, I have to wonder if you still consider us best friends after all-” his voice break, trailing off.
“What? Mate, of course you are-” Charles rushed to defend against Edwin's words.
“Then talk with me, Charles. Fence with me, like we used to. Because I miss having my best friend around, and I don’t know what to think of you recently. Talk to me, please.” Edwin moves Charles’ foil on the desk closer to him, offering it to him again.
Charles took a few moments of thinking in silence before he responded again. They could fence, he supposes, he did miss them too, but- “Look, Edwin, mate, I don’t want to fight you- You are still pretty banged up from Esther’s house.” Not a lie, they both still had some traces of their iron burns. Esther’s house was still relatively fresh- they tried to bury it but the events of Port Townsend only took place twelve days ago.
Unfortunately, iron burns take an annoying amount of time to heal. Although not as bad now, slight traces of their burns still left.
They have been taking cases slower because of it, working on easy ones to start. Both of them acting more out of concern for the other than actually to themselves.
“Oh, you assume you would be able to get close to me?” Edwin teased arching his brow and Charles bit his lips, cheeks flushing slightly. Bollocks. Okay, his self confidence was hot-
Seeing him announcing it cockily and sure of himself like that ignited a fond and playful spark in Charles- he liked his overconfidence.
“I assure you, even in my lesser state I can still, as I believe they say today, ‘kick your ass’. You, on the other hand, have been shutting off from me for weeks, and I simply will not sit here and allow our friendship to continue suffering any longer. So please, fence with me again. Challenge me, if you will.”
“Edwin-” Charles gruntle sighing pretending to be rolling his eyes in decline, then he quickly picks up his foil going out to a surprise attack, a spark of mischief igniting back in him.
Adrenaline was flooding his ghost veins, in a good way-
He loved this. This was them. It just felt right.
Edit: fic posted! It's the most recent post below the pinned one on my blog!
This is a low shot, but can someone beta my dead boy detectives fic? (Painland fic, it was supposed to be focused on Charles but I also drifted a bit with Edwin's pov on him)
My beta coincidentally can't right now for reason I'm very much amused by, I just really want to post the fic sometimes during tomorrow (the day starts soon in my country) *on my birthday*(!!!!) so I want to finish it fast.
It's not finished right now but it's mostly done and I will love to get some advices, I'll finish it first thing tomorrow probably if I can.
Edit: it's just with 3,951 words now, after I'll finish though it will probably be a few hundreds passed 5,000 so there is that too. It's not an extremely long fic, it's a relatively short one really.
Edit 2/ Update: posted a snippet!
Rip Charles Rowland we will never get to see you make Edwin a flustered mess.
Rip Charles Rowland we will never get to see you become a flustered mess yourself when you try making Edwin become a flustered mess.
Rip Edwin Payne we will never get to see you flirting back when you are more comfortable with your sexuality now and turning Charles into a flustered mess back.
Rip Charles Rowland we will never get to see you exploring your sexuality and realising you love Edwin.
Rip payneland we will never get to see you getting together.
Rip Crystal Palace we will never know how you will react to the two old-people-love-sick-teenagers Edwin and Charles.
Just jumping it up my blog again.
Finally finished the fic I have been working on for the last few months! (My autistic Edwin fic!) It accidentally took me longer than what I planned.
Listen I don't think you can guess my favourite dead boy detectives character it's really difficult.
I have more ideas but those are the ideas I think I can focus on for now.
I am not sure if the winning result would be what I will actually finish first actually but I am curious to see what is the tumblr demand.

MY CAMEOS HAS ARRIVED PEOPLE.
I have sent a few, this man is INSANE I have sent the last one only about an hour and a half ago max and I already got that somehow??? After I just got the others???
Anyway this is the first one!
I'm actually writing a fic about Edwin and Charles fencing for fun at the office I loved to hear about the helmets so much!!!
I'm going to use some of the words he said in my fic, other are welcome too! Edwin is such a posh/ affectionate fencing fits him so well.
I want Desire and Edwin to meet so badly (Desire would so LOVE to torture them (I love my little blorbo so much he's adorable that's why I want him to suffer💗)). I like the fics where Desire helps the boys to figure things out but also speaking about canon Desire, they are a menace, a meeting with them would be so angsty. They are gods they don't really care for mortals, they would love to cause drama and angst. They would love to torture this repressed (although he is a bit more comfortable now he's still more of a stiff person in general) sad boy that has so much yearning and so much drama potential between him and his best friend.
Yucky already said he wants to bring them in season 2 I'm sooo waiting for this drama I just know it's going to be good.
Anyway, posting my other cameo requests soon!
Don't get me wrong, I love painland because they're the land of pain payneland dearly & I'm currently writing *multiple* fics about them.
But if I hear one more person saying shit about Crystal and saying she was gross for what she had with Charles I'll fucking scream.
At this point I just refuse to believe Charles is not inlove with Edwin.
Like besides the fact he looks at him like he's the sun and stars and everything in the universe and all of that; it's so in character for Charles to fall for the first boy that ever showed him kindness. The first person that was ever nice to him, made him feel safe, cared for him as he died. After the way they met?? Of course Charles will bloody fall for Edwin, how couldn't he?
That's so in character of him.
Charles Rowland and Edwin Payne are so real, I too would've avoided understanding my sexuality or confronting with my trauma for decades.
Why do people behave like Edwin is the main character and Charles is just there to be his "bestie" low key making him "sidekick"??? Because it's starting to feel racist.
They go through the same amount of development throughout the show. Both of them have major story lines.
Just watched an interviewer introducing George and Jayden as "George, who plays Edwin. Jayden, who plays Edwin's best friend Charles."
I NEED YOU TO SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU WHITE BOY. THEY BOTH BELONG TO EACH OTHER EQUALLY.
I love Edwin. But Charles is not his accessory. Treating Charles as anything less than equal feels racist.
This is my official request for Dead Boy Detectives prompts!
Preferably about Edwin and Charles. Especially more about Charles but not necessarily.
I just finished my fanfic and I'm desperate for new ideas, I want to keep writing about them.
Comments, ask box, and dm, are all open.
Any prompt would be appreciated🫶
Finally finished my Dead Boy Detectives fic!
It's just fluff about Edwin and Charles. The boys took control over my head I can't write or read anything else.
Warnings: none. It's just fluff.
Word count: 2,000 words.
Relationships: Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland, Edwin Payne&Charles Rowland.
Summary: After the hell confession, Edwin tries to refrain from touching Charles, to not make him feel like he's overstepping the bounds of a normal friendship.
Charles, that loves touch, is sick of it. And confronts Edwin what's going on?
(Including kissing and cuddling later).
Or basically just Edwin tries to stay away and Charles pulling him close.
(Very fluff no plot).
Heavily inspired by this tumblr post.
I know most of the DBDA fandom probably thinks at paineland at the trope of "x fell first, xx fell harder" is Edwin falling first and Charles now falling harder; because Edwin was obviously shown first to express his feelings.
But consider this-
Charles falling in love with Edwin slowly a little more every day, falling a bit deeper for him every day they spent side by side.
And at some point later- Edwin is crushing hard. Realizing "oh shit, I love him-" and falling hard in a chaotic storm of feeling he doesn't know how to deal with, he's a complete mess.
Idk, I personally prefer the second version more but both options can be great interpretations of their dynamic.
in desperate need of a charles and edwin edit with waiting room by phoebe bridgers.
