Messy sketch of two ghosts 👻
Can i just say...I LOVE YOUR DBD ART SO MUCHHHHH!! Your art style gives off somewhat 2D Pixar vibes but like...vintage? Or something? 🫠😍❤️❤️❤️
OMG THAT'S SO SWEET OF YOU 💕 That's such an interesting way to describe my style! I'm intrigued, because I never would have thought of Pixar 👀
fuck therapy i wanna beat the shit out of someone
Charles Rowland, ladies and gentlemen
- The Empty Grave
Can I say, when I've read this scene for the first time, it broke me </3
my light in the dark 🌟
a) charles and edwin’s safe place is their office:
b) this scene was so domestic. charles is wearing his white tank top. edwin is wearing a shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the buttons on his top collar unbuttoned. he’s sitting on the couch in a comfortable pose.
c) but we don’t see anything like this when the boys are in port townsend. they "hide" behind their clothes almost all the time cause this is a new “place” for them which is not safe to be in
A little Edwin doodle :)
you guys are like a dead married couple on acid
crystal and edwin butt heads in most episodes, but in the finale they become close. dunsmore thought it was really touching that they finally connect. to showcase their friendship, she and nelson wanted crystal to wear a suit like edwin's, but it didn't quite make sense. "then it just came to me one day and i was like, 'oh my god, let's cut off her pants," she says. "her hero iconic pants that she's worn for the whole series, we cut a pair and made them into the same pants as edwin's."
DEAD BOY DETECTIVE AGENCY + HUGS
BONUS: HANDSHAKES
as costume designer kelli dunsmore tells tudum, charles’ signature red polo turned burgundy in ep 3, to reflect his turbulent emotional state.
"then we find out that beautiful whole story of charles' past, and it goes black," she says. "in the middle [of the season], he goes all black — his harrington jacket is black, his polo is black." yockey praises dunsmore for coming to him and schwartz early with this subtle but very strong idea of "a way to visually track charles and his slide into self-doubt even though his base costume remains constant."
and if you look in ep 4, you'll see crystal and niko wearing red clothing, to support charles in his pain by donning his hero color.
but as charles continues his healing journey, his shirt "slowly goes back to burgundy. by the end of the [season], he's back in his red again," says dunsmore. "so he goes full circle."
mfs be like "im not watching this show im afraid itll get canceled" well of fucking course with that mindset it's gonna get canceled. maybe if y'all actually watched it instead of bitching, it'd have a chance at being renewed u fucking dumb bitch.
anyway, stream Dead Boy Detectives on netflix!!
Hi Mr Gaiman!
What’s your opinion on people saying someone is only a real fan of something if they consumed all of the available media of that thing? (e.g. “you aren’t a real fan of sandman if you only watched the netflix series”)
I feel like more and more people do this to sort of gate keep otherwise amazing fandoms and personally i think it’s quite sad to see.
As I posted on a more or less dead site a couple of years ago:
Ah Neil said something about real fans way back in 2014, that has stayed with me all these years
I know your ask box is probably full, so I totally get it if you don't get to this anytime soon, but I need some help.
I'm a sixteen year old aspiring writer with ADHD and anxiety. My writing patterns are horrible. I go months without writing then spit out a hundred pages. I've been writing since I was eight and I've never finished a story longer than a few thousand words because I physically cannot force myself to write in order, though I can eventually fill in the gaps (if I'm given a few months).
I'm trying my best, but it feels like my best isn't good enough for the world. Do you (or any other successful writers you know) have similar problems? Or is this something you overcome with time? Basically wondering if there's hope of me being successful despite these traits. Thanks!
You're sixteen. The reason why the world isn't filled with successful sixteen year old novelists is we were all (or most of us) trying to figure out how to do the writing thing in bursts and spurts and with dozens of beginnings and not a lot of endings, and we have some characters over here and some story over there and we can't work out how to make them align and work together. And so on and so forth.
You are not a failure if you haven't published a Hugo-award winning trilogy by the time you're twenty. You're an egg that hasn't even finished hatching.
Write. Read everything you can. Write more. Finish some short stories. Read more. Write more. Experience some life. Finish longer things. You'll get there. It's not a race. It's a way to learn.
