Don't Get Me Wrong, I Love Painland Because They're The Land Of Pain Payneland Dearly & I'm Currently

do me a solid and just reblog this saying what time it is where you are and what you’re thinking about in the tags.

Dead Boy Detectives's fanarts artists- where are all the fanarts of Charles wearing a skirt?

Ask Game. 14

Hello totally random person!

Question 14? You evil bastard.

Anyway

14. Least favourite character!

Fuck. This shit is hard. Every character there is beautifully done. How can I pick something I don't like? I'm obsessed with everything.

The character I used to dislike the most was Esther but fuck, I gotta admit, she's iconic. She's a good campy villain, she deserves the credit. I hated her only because I resonated with Charles and Edwin too much so I disliked her as the enemy (childish, I know), but fuck I can't really hate her she's a good character.

It's impossible to dislike anything! Because everything served a purpose. Even the Dandelion sprites, and I don't particularly like them either.

Um. The jocks from episode 5. Because I can't find one redeemable quality about them, I hate those guys. I'm happy they're in hell. They served a purpose in the plot but they got what they deserved.

im sure plenty of you have seen or heard the news already. its a tragedy.

be sad. be angry. show netflix how much this show means to us.

we can change things. so lets do it.

spread this everywhere. spread it like a goddamn virus, share it with everyone you know. reblog it here, put it on other sites, send it to ur friends.

On one hand, I love Crystal my girl and she deserves to appear in my case fic.

On the other hand, if I'd let her appear she would've defeated the villains in 2 seconds and take away all of my excuse for angst and Charles gay panicking over Edwin fencing, and then I'd have no plot.

I'm sorry my girl, you're simply too much the goat for this I'm afraid. I can't let you appear.

We can't always win.

They wanted to give America a proper nationality instead of her being generically Latina. America is now Puerto Rican.

Oh cool! This is good to know.

Yeah this was a plot whole that I was wandering about myself. But this retcon is still kinda sad to me because we lost the lesbians planet and the beautiful lesbian goddesses and everything.

But I guess there are some good parts as well. I can understand that.

Theory

Lucifer from Christianity and Apollo from Greek mythology are the same person

I wanna see more people talk about it.

I am maybe Jewish, but I'm currently obsessed with the character of Lucifer in the Christianity or as they are known in Judaism, Samael, and sometimes also known as Satan.

He's so similar to Apollo from Greek mythology. Greek mythology was my obsession before I took an interest in Jewish borderline Christian mythology. (Specially the concepts of heaven and hell, more specifically angels and more specifically hyperfixiate on Lucifer/Samael/Satan and how their character is perceived in cultures).

Apollo and Lucifer are the same person. I saw some references of Lucifer to Venus but I never saw about someone talk about their similarity to Apollo.

- living in the kingdom of celestial beings like them that is high in the sky.

- a very strong light relation- Apollo the god of light and sun between other things, he has a very strong relation to everything related to light.

Lucifer the light bringer, even Lucifer former name, Samael, have a meaning related to light in Hebrew. סמאל/סמאאל comes from the Hebrew word סמא that has a light related meaning (a very strong light), and the word אל (el) that means god (Like in Gabriel, Michael, Ezrael, and etc). Or in other words, the light of God.

- The one who brings the light (Lucifer the light bringer, Apollo in his chariot)

- The young child of the big mighty god that tried to overthrown their dad the big old dad and started a rebellion. Apollo tried twice to take over Zeus revenge his dad. And Lucifer also started a rebellion against God to revenge and overthrown him. And as their punishment their dad casts them down to earth from the kingdom in the sky.

- related concepts of beauty and appearance related to light. Apollo is the model of male beauty in ancient Greece. Both men and women adores him. He's described as golden because of his relation to sun and light. Lucifer is the prettiest among the angels, he had golden hair and white wings, giving him a very golden and maybe even pure appearance.

- related concepts of passions and enjoyment. Apollo is more a character of revelry lifestyle (not to confuse with Dionysus that also have a relation to this) and the arts professions, encourage people to become more free. Lucifer also encouraging people to follow their pleasures, to sin, and party and become more free. Lucifer is just want to free people

Basically they both just tell you to enjoy and do what you love and want.

Again, young beautiful rebel child of the big mighty God in a kingdom in the sky with a strong relation and appearance related to light started a rebellion, their dad casts them to earth for their "sins", the light bringer, encourage people to do what they want and follow their passions.

Maybe it's a coincidence, I don't know (it's not)

Anyway what's your opinion? Can you find more characters in other mythologies that are similar and also in this pattern? I would like to know

IF YOU WANTED US TO BE CRUSHED OR DEVASTATED

WE ARE

BUT WE'RE ALSO BLOODY ANGRY, AND YOU WON'T BE TAKING US ANYWHERE.

WE WON'T BE HAVING IT.

WE STILL HAVE A PURPOSE.

WE'RE THE DEAD BOY DETECTIVE AGENCY.

Purity culture has a way of getting into fandom spaces with a strength that's genuinely concerning. Especially in these times we're living, where our very own existences are being threatened by powerful people creating laws based on conservativism and puritanism.

I find it ironic (and very telling) that we're so ready to clutch our pearls when it comes to sexual content, but not anything else.

Dead Boy Detectives fandom, I'm talking to you.

Why are we so scandalized by the mere mention of sex? By people writing or creating sexually explicit art? Why do we think that younger fans of the show are not ready to hear simple words describing sexual activities in a neutral way, or discuss sensitive subjects such as sex related activities?

When I see people being censored or criticized under this "protect the children" rhetoric, I ask myself:

How were these the same fans who watched an entire show which main themes are hate crimes, queer subjects, violence and death, and that also heavily presents sexual assault, family annihilation, colorful and frequent curse words and many more real life, serious elements?

If you are a fan of this show and you were able to understand and connect with even a portion of its canonical content, then I'd assume that you're ready to have a conversation about it, or watch others talk about it. And yet I continue to see people wanting to keep others from conversations that are not any more explicit or sexual or serious in nature than what we see in the show.

Do not lie to yourselves, are we really concerned about other people's safety? Or are we performing some form of shallow wanna-be activism?

Are we celebrating a (cancelled) queer show, or deciding that some queer experiences are more appropriate than others?

See the way our fandom trends reflect what's happening in our very real lives. Do not protect the fake values of conservatism, they want all of us just as equally silent (or dead).

If I had a nickel for every time Jeremy Jordan played a tragic character that started wanting to change society for the better and tried to be revolutionist, but fell too far,

Had a villain arc derived from their oppression, ended up making deals with bad people to solve their problems creating more damage they were against in the past, lost their mental health in the process,

And it was a musical-

I would have 3 nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened 3 times.
