Everything everywhere all at once is a film about a girl ripping the entire universe apart just to find a part of her mother that she feels understands her. And everything everywhere all at once is a film about a mother ripping the entire universe apart just to understand her daughter. And my chest feels like it’s caving in when I think about it too long
hitting dorian gray with a car and he stands up completely fine meanwhile in his attic a painting flies off the wall and lands in a splintered heap
"just as I did, in 1983."
you'd never know my favourite parts of the show are the fucked up insane bits when my first instinct is to draw the cheesiest thing imaginable
I was thinking.
Actually, I was studying but then I saw a butterfly and it made me think about the impermanence of life and it made me think about Dead boy detectives.
I think there's another parallelism about Orpheus and Eurydice other than the obvious going-to-hell-to-retrieve-best-friend/love-of-his-afterlife-thing that Charles has going on.
I read the myth the other day and it said that after Eurydice died Orpheus played a song so heartbreaking that the gods started crying too and this is why Hades and Persephone took pity on him and allowed him to go to hell to retrieve his wife.
After Edwin is taken Charles begs the night nurse to open a door to hell to go and bring Edwin back. she refuses at first but then Nico convinces her to look into Charles's memories to see if she can trust him and while she does so she not only sees Edwin reading to Charles all night in hope of alleviatinng what he knows is about to happen but she witnesses Charles giving up his afterlife to stay with his friend.
And what does she do? she cries
Just like the gods in the original myth, she's so moved by the love they share that she decides to open the door to hell for Charles even if she cannot fully trust them to come with her to the lost and found department because she saw what kind of bond the two share, she knows what they wuold be willing to do to stay together.
like a dead married couple on acid <333
Something that I keep coming back to regarding dead boy detectives, and how it differs from so many queer shows regarding coming out and realizing you're queer.
It's not just shown, it is EXPERIENCED.
We aren't just shown an Edwardian teen having a sexual awakening, we are put right in the middle of that storm. they throw those images right in our faces and make us hear the Cat King's sexy voice in our ears.
We aren't just shown that same teen dreamily looking at the object of his desires. we are put into a POV shot, softening the background noises and making Jayden Revri look as drop-dead gorgeous as possible for one moment.
I just finished my first class in film school, and one of the things talked about frequently was perspective. How the audience views the story, and how that viewpoint can color our experience of it. Whether we root for a character or against them.
The show takes an experience that may seem to people as 'other', as too different or alien to straight audiences, and puts said audience in the middle of it. They are frequently placed in the perspective of a gay Edwardian teen discovering who he is and in doing so, place their faith in the audience that they will understand.
Dead Boy Detectives uses the language of cinema to make its audience identify with a queer character on a primal level. That is something I never thought possible. and yet, when you think about it, it is so simple.
yeah btw ill never be over edwin staying with charles as he’s dying. sitting with him, talking with him answering his questions about being a ghost. edwin knew he was dying and decided to stay, to make sure charles wouldn’t die as scared as he did. and then when charles was getting closer, when he was tired, edwin sat by him and read to him until he was gone. edwin came back from hell and the first thing he decided to do was help this boy, dying where he did 70 years ago. how the fuck am i supposed to be normal about that
Amazing though, don't you think? The Star Whale. All that pain and misery. And loneliness. And it just made it kind. — Doctor Who: The Beast Below

Does it ever hit you that for Charles Rowland, death was kinder than life? That he never felt something kind until the night he died? And that when he did finally die, when the peaceful, kind glow of Death arrived, Charles sacrificed Heaven for the boy who had crawled out of Hell, the boy who was the first person to be kind to him? Do you ever want to chew some drywall?
I’ll cry if I think about them for too long but you’re Charles Rowland you’re a biracial punk and you’ve been getting the shit kicked out of you by your father your entire life but you see a Pakistani kid getting beat for being Pakistani and you can’t help it, you’re afraid but you stop it. You’re half Indian why are you any different? The racist little white boys agree. They beat you too. You make it away. You’re cold, so cold and something’s very wrong with you, and then you see a light. But you’re not dead. It’s another boy your age and he tells you he’s dead. He died in this same shitty boarding school and he reads you a bedtime story as you fall asleep. You’re dead now and he’s still here. He knew you were dying and he didn’t want you to be scared. He crawled out of Hell and the first thing he did was comfort you as you lay dying.
Why wouldn’t you run from death with him? Why wouldn’t you spend your eternity with him? Why wouldn’t you love him?
Not to be overly emotional about this but if you pause the night nurse beurocratic paperwork scenes, you'll find that the file is labeled "PAYNE/ROWLAND".
They have a shared file folder guys
Crystal being too young to know how a VHS works and Edwin too old is my favorite underrated joke of the whole show
