Learning By Heart - Chapter 31

Title: Learning by Heart

Authors: @ice-elf & @lundlaeva

Rating: Teen

Pairing: Payneland

Status: 31/34 chapters, finished with weekly updates

Charles wakes up in the hospital after the incident with his mates and everything is—well, pretty aces actually. His dad’s being nice to him, his mates—former, now—have either been kicked out of school or are staying away from him, and he’s got a new roommate.

Edwin is kind and funny and really clever, and, best of all, he seems to think Charles is pretty great too. So what if he’s sometimes a little bit weird? Charles is still determined to get to know him better.

Chapter 31 Here

Start from Chapter One

It is so funny to me how most people in Dead Boy Detectives are just “let me tell you about my backstory.”

Edwin repeatedly brings up Hell, like he wants to add “so there, nyah” but he’s too proper. Charles says Edwin has told him loads of stories about his time there too.

Tragic “I was once a mighty walrus” Mick.

Esther tells teenage kids currently foiling her plans that she made a deal with a primordial goddess. Also, the snake thing. She doesn’t question how Crystal learned about Esther’s cheating husband—how well known is that story?

Nico tells someone she just met about her dad dying, dropping out of school, not being able to read her mother’s letters.

Crystal doesn’t even remember her past, but she’ll vent about her asshole ex-boyfriend and getting out of a bad relationship with her landlord she’s known for a day.

She’s using the “treat my trauma like a joke so I don’t have to actually deal” method, but Jenny does bring up her alcoholic father.

Aisha the gift shop owner only has a few minutes of screen time but still manages to mention she does acid and paints primordial goddesses.

The three most secretive people are Monty (and you know he’d be chattering about his actual past instead of his made up one if he could), the Cat King, and Charles.

Which is even funnier, because Cat King and Charles are so alike here! They are both saying “look at me, pay attention to me, no not like that.” And they would absolutely hate having that in common.

“Thank you, Charles. But what is the occasion?”

“It’s the 25th of May, mate. You gotta wear the lilac today. And bring a towel. And a hard-boiled egg, apparently.”

“Is it from that book I read to you some years ago, about the Night Watch?”

“Yeah, exactly. Although the towel thing is from Douglas Adams. Loved the BBC show of Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy as a kid. And we should totally read Night Watch again, especially now. With all the shit going on in the world, a book about time travel and a people’s revolution sound like just the thing, don’t they? Also, as usual, you did a great job voicing the characters. Especially Nobby and Snouty. And all the ladies. And the posh toffs.”

“Thank you. ‘Truth, Justice, Freedom’ ... do I remember that correctly? And the hard-boiled egg, of course.”

“Totally, mate. But don’t forget the most important bit.”

“Which is?”

“‘Reasonably priced love’.”

“Ah yes. Care to jog my memory a little more of what that may entail, Charles?”

“Aces idea, mate. Was hoping you’d say that.”

Happy Glorious 25th of May (and Towel Day) to all who celebrate.

Ryan Gosling’s career has just been one long quest to climb the Warner Bros water tower

notaplaceofhonour

that man has been trying to climb this tower since he was 16. he has asked multiple times, and every time they said no, but now he’s famous enough & variety was able to convince them to do a shoot on the tower. it all led here. it was all for this.

I’m obsessed with the implication that this was a coming-of-age ritual where a boy becomes a man, like a bar mitzvah

eddie’s new british friend, ewan, who he met because ewan owns the new bakery down the block from the station and he keeps giving eddie free sweet treats (because he’s flirting fucking obviously which eddie doesn’t realize)

he’s the spitting image of buck (minus the birthmark and different tattoos) but eddie doesn’t notice any similarities (appearance wise or with the name because buck is buck to him) meanwhile when ewan comes to drop off pastries at the station for the first time everyone feels like they’ve stepped into some fucked up movie seeing two bucks in the same room(and also they’re kind of unsettled that eddies 2/2 for stumbling across doppelgängers)except for buck who’s actively trying to blow up a box of croissants with his mind and wondering if he could get away with arson
