you guys….charles is not punk. his character design was inspired by rude boy/girl subculture that originated in 1960s jamaica before later making its way to the UK. ska music has many ties to the style, hence the ska pin he wears. not to mention the literal patch on his jacket that just straight up says RUDE BOYS lmao. the creators have explicitly described him as a ska rude boy. please stop calling him punk!!
I don't usually do this but if you read webtoons please go read Tripp. It's on Webtoon website (unfortunately it's not updated on tapas) and it's criminally underrated!
It deserves way more love and affection.
The main character is enby! That's something rare to see.
It's about space it's fun and it's queer. The characters are really lovable the moment you get to know them, I really recommend.
Rip Charles Rowland we will never get to see you make Edwin a flustered mess.
Rip Charles Rowland we will never get to see you become a flustered mess yourself when you try making Edwin become a flustered mess.
Rip Edwin Payne we will never get to see you flirting back when you are more comfortable with your sexuality now and turning Charles into a flustered mess back.
Rip Charles Rowland we will never get to see you exploring your sexuality and realising you love Edwin.
Rip payneland we will never get to see you getting together.
Rip Crystal Palace we will never know how you will react to the two old-people-love-sick-teenagers Edwin and Charles.
18, 13, 8[Charles] for the asks game please! :3
18. Something that scares me about the show:
Honestly I don't get scared easily. This show made me very emotional yeah but I watch horror movies all the time for fun so there wasn't anything there that had that effect on me really.
The only thing that scares me about the show is if Netflix won't renew it for a second season (and third, and forth, but let's start at least from a second season).
That has me terrified I'm actually shaking. I can't let that happen I love this show so much.
13. Fave proposed plot line I have seen:
Well not exactly a full plot, I saw all sort of stuff that were really interesting, but something I saw that really catched me on was Charles subconsciously flirting with Edwin. Not even realising he's doing that but he's just flirting with him. And then going to a crisis over it trying to realise his feelings.
Charles falling back slowly, without even understanding, but he falls slowly and he falls hard he wants to make sure his feelings, acting extremely careful about it.
That sort of talking I saw people say needs to be in season 2 is my favourite type of stuff I would like to see there.
Don't have any specific plot idea though. I'm just trusting the writers because what they've done so far was brills.
8. A hc (Charles):
Not original hc of mine, but demiromantic Charles!
I totally see him faking romantic feelings for girls mistaking sexual attraction to romantic attraction because he thinks he's supposed to fall in love with girls, until the feelings become reality, but don't think about being attracted to boys because of course boys are handsome isn't it like that for everyone? It doesn't mean he's romantically attracted to them he just finds them hot. That's normal right?.
Until Edwin comes along and then he's starting to develop real feelings for a guy.
So this in a post somewhere that explained it way better than I am and I really just adopted it into my core beliefs.
A conversation I had with my friend while they were watching dbd ep 4:
My friend: (learning about Charles' backstory) oh god did that boy ever had a happy day in his life?
Me, meaning it with all of my heart: anyday that Edwin was there.
Me realizing a few moments later: oh wait in his life? So no.
In the spirit of this holiday (it's Passover rn) I have a question for queer people of different cultures/ religions/ groups around the world.
Do your culture/ religion have specific traditions/ customs for LGBTQ people?
There's a relatively new Jewish tradition in Passover of including an orange on the Sedder plate to represent and support LGBTQ people.
It got me thinking if other cultures have things like that as well.
Do you have any specific traditions/ slangs/ symbols in your culture to represent queer people?
I couldn't find enough information online so I would love to hear from you about your diffrent cultures!
You're welcome to leave a comment here/ reblog/ leave a message in the asks box anyway is fine! Even just sending a link to an article would be appreciated.
Don't usually do this but does anyone has any useful advices how to deal with ADHD burnout while it's already happening? And not just how to prevent it.
Google shitty advices they're comically bad.
I guess useful information for nd people online will never be a thing unless you ask other neurodivergent ppl.
My phone isn't even aware that neurodivergent is a real word.

COMPLETE
I know most of the DBDA fandom probably thinks at paineland at the trope of "x fell first, xx fell harder" is Edwin falling first and Charles now falling harder; because Edwin was obviously shown first to express his feelings.
But consider this-
Charles falling in love with Edwin slowly a little more every day, falling a bit deeper for him every day they spent side by side.
And at some point later- Edwin is crushing hard. Realizing "oh shit, I love him-" and falling hard in a chaotic storm of feeling he doesn't know how to deal with, he's a complete mess.
Idk, I personally prefer the second version more but both options can be great interpretations of their dynamic.
i also think it’s so sad the way even the queer community upholds top/bottom, inferior/superior dichotomies because it genuinely interferes with people discovering and accepting their own identities. i have spoken with so many bottoms & pillow princesses who realized they were gay and then they expected sex to be enjoyable now that they were engaging in sex aligned with their sexuality, only to find they still felt uncomfortable during sex and they were like “maybe I’m not gay….” and when i asked about their experiences it turned out that they simply do not enjoy topping and when i told them “okay, so don’t top,” they were shocked by that because we apply moral value to giving and receiving acts of sex, in which givers are Generous and Good and receivers as Selfish and Bad.
Not to mention that bottoming IS still giving & providing a sexual act, which is enjoyed by the person topping. not everyone has to be a vers! There is no superior way to engage in sex!
