who IS virgilphobic on tumblr?

hi! i’m virgil, who you might know as ‘virgilphobic’ on here! i’m an 18 year old trans-man, and i joined tumblr again after years off of the site. (personally i don’t think i was mentally mature enough to like the app when i first got it. now? it’s like crack omg.) ((i’ve never done crack.))

you can call me virgil or virge, and my pronouns are he/him, or he/it/xe if ur feeling spicy. i’m mostly posting about dead boy detectives. this might change in the future but rn that’s my jam.

that’s all teehee thanks for reading if you did.

tumblr is like a pseudo afterlife because everyone on here was supposed to kill themselves a long time ago

Crystal snorts at Charles. “Yeah, well, you would say that, you’re a jock.”

Charles’s head tilts to the side. “Jock? Why - oh, ‘cause of the cricket bat? Nah, mate, that’s just a convenient blunt object. Never played a sport in my life, ‘cept a bit of pickup footie. I was a nerd,” he turns to grin at his partner, “like Edwin.”

Edwin raises an eyebrow. “I’ll have you know that at the time of my death, thanks to my skill at fencing I had earned the most athletic trophies of any individual at St. Hilarion’s.”

Crystal stares at them both and struggles to readjust her entire worldview.

Edwin and Charles getting held captive, and their captor hitting Edwin with a torturing hex. Edwin knows Charles will immediately tell their captor what she wants to know if Edwin looks like he’s in too much pain, so he just… locks it down. Continues talking to their captor as though nothing has happened, voice doesn’t even waver.

So she hits him with the hex again. And again.

Nothing. Not a twitch.

Charles gloats to her - such an incompetent warlock she can’t even cast a little hex! Which results in her adding in a different torturing hex, which frightens Charles for a moment, until he sees that Edwin is still utterly unbothered; he looks blankly bored, if anything.

Eventually Charles’s taunting draws her close enough to him that he’s able to wrap his manacles around her neck and choke her, and once she’s unconscious, it’s a pretty simple matter to get out of said manacles. And all’s fine and dandy, until Edwin says, in a voice that’s strangely distant and floaty, “Charles, could you hand me Agonizing Invocations, please?”

“What do you need that one for, mate? She’s already out. Planning on trying to torture her back? I mean, I’m not saying I’d stop you, but…”

And then he looks back up at Edwin, and Edwin looks distant and floaty, now.

He spends about 30 seconds patting Edwin down frantically, and then about 30 seconds putting together information he doesn’t like, and then shrieks Edwin’s name loud enough to make up for all the screaming Edwin isn’t doing.

do edwin and charles have rooms in the office? could they have them? if they do, will we ever see them? do they maybe exist? am i tweaking? the world will never know

if edwin and charles had their own rooms- i would assume them to be directly next to each other, if not right across the hall from each other. or if you think they would share a room, think that. but for the sake of this query of mine, i’m choosing split-rooms for the boys.

for charles’ room, i would expect rock posters all around the walls, plastered across every surface he could get them on. I think he would have a window right across from the door, and it would be in the middle of his wall. his bed would be to the right of the window, with a desk and a bookshelf to the left. the shelves are full of old music and old media and artifacts. that’s his memory shelf, in a way. he has all kinds of trinkets from cases with edwin on it. as well as things from his time.

the desk has notes from cases and some random things on it; a note-pad, a magnifying glass, pins of different interests, and some books he had borrowed from edwin to read. next to the desk, closer to the door, charles had a mirror, and then closest to the door a chest to keep random clothes and items in that he didn’t need constant access to.

across from all of this, charles had a guitar leaned against the wall and an amp next to it. the guitar was a deep purple color and the amp a deep charcoal. sometimes he played when he couldn’t get himself to sleep.

overall his room is pretty clean- though charles does sometimes let it get rather messy. he’s been getting better at cleaning it though.

in edwin’s room, he also has a window. his bedroom mirrors charles’. he has a window in the same spot charles does, but if the room was flipped. his bed is instead situated against the back wall, with the feet end of the bed almost underneath the window. by the foot of the bed there was a chest full of his clothes. on the right side of the room there is a desk that is piled multiple layers high with books and papers. there are sheets of paper scattered all around the room and the desk. straight across from the desk on the left side, there is an extra wide bookshelf, full of rather thick, leather-bound volumes. One shelf is strictly artifacts, in which some emit light and some a dull, quiet sound. some just sit in a jar.

on the floor, edwin had a dark blue rug, atop which sat a small table on the left side of the room. a phonograph sat atop the wooden table. even on this table sat papers and different volumes of information. edwin’s room was constantly the more cluttered one, and he plainly refused to let crystal see it until they were back home for almost two months.

it would help me tremendously to know what to post next if you guys could just give me a quick rundown on what you guys like more in the poll above !! there is literally no right answer i just need some inspo.

thanks :3

I found this picture from the Lust scene of Dead Boy Detectives. I love behind the scene pictures 🔥

PS: credits to the owner.

charles calling his dad a cunt in episode three was the first time i’ve heard someone say “cunt” with negative connotations in a WHILE.

now i’m thinking of crystal calling something cunt/cunty and the boys are confused and offended and she’s just like “no no it’s a good thing now”
