Day 102! Ft. The ghost girl from episode 1 (I'm struggling for her name I swear she has one)

Day six!!!!!! (Featuring her girlfriend I mean Crystal)

PLUS

(Not exactly) Fun Comic Fact of the Day: Crystal has aged like a normal human and is now older than Charles and Edwin, no longer being part of the agency and only seeing ghosts when they reveal themselves to her.

This is what a hero looks like.

Edwin Payne, my hero forever ❤️.

Do you have any DBDA headcanons that are close to your heart?

Yes, there are! In fact, I have a lot of painland headcanons that I wrote two years ago and still stick to. Like these:

💬 2  🔁 4  ❤️ 50 · My headcanons about painland (because I had to share these) · ~ Charles keeps calling Edwin "mate" when they get together

I hope this link works because there's a lot of text there and I don't want to overload the answer lol

Thank you for your question, and I hope you have a good day! ❤️

Ooooh an open ask box ✨✨✨ What do you think the different DBDA characters favourite weather is?

Yes, I finally opened the ask box again (I want to answer all sorts of questions lol). Thanks for your question, Mirella!

Well, I think Charles likes warm weather (in my head, he definitely doesn't like the cold for many reasons and loves summer (he is so me)).

I think Edwin likes cloudy/rainy weather because even though weather changes don't affect ghosts, he finds it pleasant to sit with a book and read while it rains outside.

I think Niko likes winter and cold weather because it always has an atmosphere of fun, celebration, snowball fights, beautiful snow, and all that jazz.

Crystal, in my opinion, likes cool weather when it's not too hot and not too cold.

Thanks again for your question, and I hope you're doing well! With love ❤️

He turns, and catches the corpse he just dug up trying to escape out the window.

Charles screams.

Working as a body snatcher in the early 19th century, Charles digs up the body of a familiar boy, who he discovers may not be as dead as he seems.

Today we're putting a spotlight on the physical zine and Pins & Patches poster!

The 260-page zine is filled with fan-works from 49 different contributors; the poster pays homage to the ones adorning the walls of his childhood bedroom.

The zine's cover and poster design were done by @comical-specimen. You can pre-order both of these items in our store until August 6th, 2026!

All orders will be shipped in September, 2026. Check out a little peek of the zine's interior pages and the poster's star illusion film effect below the 'read more' cut! 👀❤️

here's my drawing for the dbda reverse bang (@deadbangdetectives), which is accompanied by @wordsinhaled 's super amazing fic "somewhere I have never traveled, gladly beyond" (https://archiveofourown.org/works/88913941/chapters/235981241)

i had a blast working on this! (despite this being a challenging piece with the background)

and i am so so so happy and excited about the fic for this, like it feels insane that someone wrote an entire story based on my silly drawing and that that someone is @wordsinhaled who has already written so many amazing fics for dbda!! (also many fics that i just personally dig!)

[wordsinhaled]

ahhhhhh, everyone, i'm so excited it's reverse bang time!!! look at this AMAZING, gorgeous art!!!! kai, thank you sooo much for being so fantastic to work with - you were so lovely to collaborate with, and i so appreciated your creativity, kindness, enthusiasm and patience throughout this whole project! thanks for creating a piece so beautiful and for inspiring me to participate in my first ever bang as an author and to write my first ever longfic! 💖💖💖💖💖

a huge thanks to everyone who cheered me on in this process, you are all my beloveds and i owe you everything!!! and thank you as well to @handwrittenhello for your hard work organizing such amazing events for our fandom with @deadbangdetectives!!!

adding more about my fic here! it features magic, portals, parallel universes, a different first meeting for edwin & charles, pining galore, surreal shenanigans, and more!

somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond (1893 words) by wordsinhaled Chapters: 1/10 Fandom: Dead Boy Detectives (TV) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Edwin Paine | Edwin Payne/Charles Rowland Characters: Edwin Paine | Edwin Payne, Charles Rowland (DCU), Simon (Dead Boy Detectives), Crystal Palace (DCU), Niko Sasaki Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Fantasy, Alternate Universe - Magic, Parallel Universes, Dimension Travel, Dreams and Nightmares, Mutual Pining, Canon-Typical Violence, Other Additional Tags to Be Added, POV Alternating Summary: Charles thought about the energy that had passed between their hands, back in the courtyard. He could still feel it, as if a bit of Edwin’s magic had been left behind in him to thrum under his skin. He wondered if Edwin could feel something too; whether some part of Charles had stayed with him as well. But as quickly as the thought came to him, he quashed it, with a sinking heart he tried to ignore. It was more likely, Charles reckoned, that Edwin hadn’t noticed a thing out of the ordinary. This was edwin’s world, after all—and for all Charles knew, this was the feeling that came along with every spell. Charles couldn’t exactly ask, could he? He couldn’t even explain the sensation to himself. - In Edwin Payne's magical world, the practice of dream magick has long been outlawed. But after Edwin's bullies trap him in an endless nightmare using a contraband spellbook, the portal through which he escapes leads him to a mundane parallel universe, and to a chance meeting with Charles Rowland which intertwines their lives forever.
