dead boy detectives payneland dbda edwin x charles doom patrol dead patrol ask ask ask oof man i was not made to write serious conversations is this healthy? who the hell knows but is it true to charles' character? well i sure hope so! in dp!charles mind his whole reason for staying has always been edwin if he gets to do stay with him it'll be great no matter what form their relationship takes if edwin loves him in a romantic way? hell yeah! then they can be even closer! he is thinking in an 'I am his already since the day he found me' sort of way and to be honest I think dbd!charles agrees but he also knows he is a people pleaser so he doesn't want to just go and say yes to edwin to make him happy without being sure he will be able to keep saying yes forever dp!charles doesn't have this conflict because i genuinely don't think he's picturing forever he's not as confident in their ability to outround Death indefinitely but that allows him to understand more clearly what he's feeling now!

dead boy detectives payneland dbda obv its deeper than that like after 30 years of almost always taking edwins side on everything he suddenly leaves WITH SOME RANDOM GIRL while saying he has a poor attitude and hes like? do i? yeah bc the living suck right? right? and he decides to stay annoyed when they come back bc he LEFT him ugh. for a GIRL. like they’re actually still teens in school so he really really hopes this is a passing fancy. like a pet or something. a wounded bird that we CANNOT KEEP and when charles points out that it is in fact jealousy (which by charles time is not at all couple exclusive) it literally takes him aback. bro said ‘jealous?’ so breathlessly like cmon. but b4 he could let that sink in crystal wakes up so he lets it go probably had a whole internal convo where he reconciled being able to be friend-jealous and then kicked it up. like really up ‘maybe its your outfit’ and ‘also we are punishing you’ and ‘are you ready to talk to her shoes’ ‘you spoke to a demon in this friendly malt shop’ and ‘oh you love this dont you’ and ‘saved you one time and now you wont leave either’ like yes he IS jealous and yes he WILL make it everyone’s problem on purpose do i even have to pull out ‘of course you fell for a living girl’ (looks at him through his lashes) help him 90 percent of these are from the FIRST EPISODE okay episode 1 edwin is THE cattiest bitch so it tracks that the cat king wants him point is they are both insanely jealous ok paineland bumblysdumbly
