Welcome! You've found my writing blog. I explicitly deny permission for anyone, including data scrapers, organizations, individuals, or bots, to use my work to train AI.
I’m excited to see more of Dead Boy Detectives, the show that topped the Nielson charts, won the Golden Tomato for Best Fantasy Series of 2024, appeared on 90+ best-of lists, is adored by critics and fans, and is sitting at 92% on Rotten Tomatoes as one of the highest-rated DC Comics live-action series of all time.
Warnings: tooth-rotting fluff, inadvisable pet acquisition
Excerpt:
“Charles Rowland,” says Edwin, and the words are brisk and incisive. “I will thank you not to pet the phoenix.”
Charles pauses, hand midway to the top of the creature’s head.
It is ugly, in the way that only baby birds can truly manage, with wide, bobbly eyes in the style of a parrot, though the beak is narrower and longer, angled straight outward rather than curved.
It is also very much on fire, miniscule flames flickering along the creature’s skin in the suggestion of budding feathers.
You’re right. I’m not ready to say goodbye to Dead Boy Detectives, your best show of 2024 and frankly the last decade.
There’s a huge and growing fandom that appreciates this gorgeous, witty, funny, heartfelt, unapologetically queer masterpiece and wants it to have the second season it deserves.
The ball’s in your court, Netflix. Bring these boys back to our screens.
The Dead Boy Detectives anniversary month has started, and that means our anniversary event is now underway ✨
From now until the end of April, write fic, draw art, make gifs, curate moodboards, edit videos, or create anything else you can dream up!
When you’re finished, just share your work with the tags #dead boy detectives and #a year at the agency, and we’ll reblog anything sfw to spread the celebration! Our Ao3 collection for the event will be a_year_at_the_agency.
We can’t wait to see what you create! 💀🔎
I’m going to try and do one for every week. Wish me luck!
He’s a handsome man, Mick is. Could use a little trimming around the whiskers, but she supposes there’s some appeal to that, too. He’s always struck her as the perfect fisherman for a tale of mermaids and sea monsters, with that grizzled, unkempt sort of look.
She’s thought about painting him, once or twice — wondered what he’d say if she showed him the finished canvas.
April Foolish Pairing Fest: Esther and the Notary
I’d never even thought of the possibility of this pairing, but I’m not gonna lie, I’m kind of here for it 👀
Dark blue, a floppy sort of cap, maybe a bit old-fashioned, but it doesn’t project weird lights or have an ominous aura or sprout legs and crawl across the floor or anything. Two years in, Crystal’s been working at the agency long enough to know that a regular hat stashed away in the bag of tricks backpack is pretty fucking weird.
“What’s with this one?” she says, and she bends down to pick it up, automatic.
April Foolish Pairing Fest: Monty and the Washer Woman 🐦⬛
Trying out another mood board for those extra wheel spins I did for the Foolish Pairing Fest.
The girl’s a dark shape in the mist, like some sort of a wandering spirit, and the next time she comes Asha’s way, Asha says, “Something the matter?”
The girl goes rigid, stiff through the shoulders, like she might just bolt. Asha’s seen enough of that look: kids smuggling beer down to the shoreline for a cookout, or kids with their pockets full of things they don’t want an adult to find, or kids a bit too cagey about cutting class.
