THIS HAS JUST MADE MY DAY!!!!!!
Meet and fall in love with the Orpheus and Eurydice from Dead Boy Detectives. I promise it doesn't hurt. Much.
Edwin's Smile
I don't think any of you understand how desperately I need more flashbacks, or entire flashback episodes. This is a necessity.
Edwin doesn't smile with his teeth. He just doesn't.
Except for when he sees Charles in hell and when they realize they don't have to run anymore.
But at the beginning of the show, he smiles and laughs showing teeth multiple times. If you pay attention, Edwin is so much more animated in those first few minutes of the show, prior to meeting Crystal.
He's so comfortable and happy around Charles. He doesn't mask, at all; he allows himself to express his emotions freely. Even after he becomes friendly and comfortable with Crystal, and connects really well with Niko, he never looks like this again.
Too much has changed, too much is happening, and he can't seem to allow him to relax enough to laugh or smile the way he does with Charles at the start.
I need to see more of Edwin prior to Crystal's arrival. I need to see him and Charles bantering, having fun, and generally enjoying solving cases together. Show me the Edwin who was Charles' best mate for 30 years.
Note: This is in no way slandering Crystal by the way. Don't be commenting/reblogging/tagging any Crystal hate on this post. To quote John Mulaney, Crystal is a bitch, and I like her so much.
(ko-fi)
It also would be interesting to see, pos-canon, Crystal's reaction the first time she sees Edwin full-body laugh at something Charles did/said 😁
