This Is The Worst Timeline. (x)

isn't that pretty much how will treats him in the second half of season 2?

i could never be hannibal lecter because i hate lying theyd be like and whats for dinner hannibal and id be like it's beef SORRRYYYYY its actually a guy who i killed and cooked up 😬 are you mad at meee and theyd say no hannibal you told the truth and thats what matters and then we'd all hug

my headcanon I believe in so hard I forget it's not canon is that Charles didn't actually look like how his memories show he did when he died

what the Night Nurse is seeing and subsequently what the audience is seeing when she looks into Charles' memories is how Charles viewed that night. it's his memories, and memories are biased

when we see the memories in the attic, even when Charles is curled up under a blanket literally about to die, he just looks gaunt, tired, and a little woozy (btw this is NOT an attack on makeup artists what they do is amazing and I'm just building on that)

but we are told over and over that he died of hypothermia and internal bleeding. and I doubt that the rocks that were thrown at him did all that much damage- have you ever thrown something into water? it sinks slowly as soon as it hits the surface. those rocks weren't doing any damage to Charles anywhere that was under the water. so yeah, his 'friends' probably beat the shit out of him first and that's what caused the internal bleeding

but internal bleeding is typically from organs or brain damage and is often visible as mass, dark bruising. but you're telling me Charles had no bruising on him whatsoever?? he was bleeding internally enough that it's listed as his cause of death - not just a side note - it's part of the reason that he died. but no bruises on the face, none on the arms, no bleeding from the head or anything (we don't see his torso until after he dies so I have nothing about that)

Charles definitely felt fucking freezing so of course that's shown in his memories, of course he's gaunt and tired and cold - but the pain can just be passed off as the cold and he had something much more interesting to pay attention to: Edwin

I fully believe that we see those memories with Charles looking the way he does because his focus on that night looking back on it isn't that he was slowly bleeding and freezing to death; but that it was the first time he met his best friend, (and why would he want to remember all the gory details) and that's why he looks the way he does in his memories

please

my brain has decided succession, severance, and leverage are all the same show and i still have no idea what any of succeverage is about

would you still love me again?

when Dead Boy Detectives gets a second season, i want the Night Nurse to be deeply unsettled by Charles -> like- i think she'd have a soft spot for him, absolutely

but also he beat her into the belly of a murderous fish and then completely 180'd on their next interaction

[Charles is sitting cross-legged against the couch in their office, with a new cricket bat on his lap and one of Edwin's books open next to him] [The Night Nurse materializes with a swish of fabric and looks around] Charles, glancing up and grinning: Charlie! What're you doing here? Night Nurse, sighing: I believe I have told you innumerous times by now not to call me that. What are you doing? Charles: Well, my last bat kind of got splintered fighting Esther's giant lass eating snake so- Night Nurse: -in five words or less? Charles, holding it up: Enchanting. A. New. Bat. [He looks at his fingers] Charles: ...Charlie. Night Nurse: I said or less! Oh, never mind, where's your other half? I was under the assumption you two were joined at the hip. . . . Charles, tilting his head: He's out. Night Nurse, taking a deep breath: Out where? Charles: Just out. Why're you asking? [The Night Nurse holds up a file with an incredulous flourish, a perfectly arched brow.] Charles, getting to his feet with a grin: New case then, is it? Brills, I'll take it to him Night Nurse: Now wait just a moment- [He's out through the mirror, file in hand, before she can voice a full protest] Charles: Cheers, Charlie! . . . Night Nurse, straightening out her attire: I am a trans-dimensional being with a lifetime that spans eons. And yet, that boy.. . . . [She clears her throat. Turns on her heel] Night Nurse: ..disturbs me.

Appreciation post for all the beginner artists who work hard despite the AI ​​looming over us. You are fabulous. You are precious. Keep up the hard work, you are needed.

Day 10: Lantern

(Haven’t been able to do anything new for @dbdpromptober yet, but todays prompt seemed like a good excuse to share these two side-by-side)
