Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
5, 8 for Charles, and 20 !
(aaaa sorry for taking time to answer I was trying to take a break from tumblr because I've become too addicted. I love getting asks please send me more if you'd like!)
5. The Devilin house.
I've talked about this before.
Getting to see those glimpses of Charles's trauma hurt me emotionally I connect to him so much.
I also love some things other people pointed out-
How there didn't turned out to be a supernatural cause for the murders at the end- the father was just insane, because the world is fucked up and they're not hiding from it throwing a big scary monster putting the blame on other causes like other shows.
I took it so for granted, yeah of course they won't shy away from showing real horrors and won't blame it on fantasy, it took me other people pointing it out to realise yeah other shows won't be like that.
And also how the problems weren't solved with violence, they never are in this show.
One thing the episode showed is that the circle of abuse is real. Answering fire with fire won't solve shit.
I didn't even caught that until other people pointed it out. It's another thing I greatly appreciate about this show.
To deal with your shit you can't do it alone, you have to lean on other people otherwise you'd just fall back again like Charles did. You have to let people in. Despite his dislike for her Edwin listened to Crystal and that's how they got out. He had to deal with crap, with his weakness- technology, if he wanted to get out it couldn't just be easy.
The episode captured all of that well, it captured the cycle of abuse phenomenally so yeah I love this case.
Damn that was long.
8. I have already answered Charles twice ((1)) ((2)), the second time I really elaborated on all my hcs for him, I think I forgot colour blind Charles but yes that's about it. Sorry I just answered it twice and I'm tired 8 have nothing else to add beyond what I already said. So go check that posts!
20. The (dead)boys. Nothing makes my heart giggle and laugh like seeing the boys acting like a dead married couple on acid.
The dynamic of the characters are so great I love the main squad.
Also seeing the cat king being the pathetic lover boy that he is in episode 7 (love him. That scene was great).
#8 Headcanons for Charles? ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯
Sorry for taking time to answer!
Ohhhh. Charles my love!
Well this aren't my personal headcanons but they're one that I adopted.
Well demiromantic Charles, I talked about this before and I think this posts explains it pretty well and I completely support it.
Also using suspenders as a replacement for belts because belts reminds him of his dad.
ADHD Charles! Oh I love this ADHD messy boy and I resonate with him so much.
Also dyslexic Charles!
I think those hcs makes the fact that he and Edwin has their thing where Edwin is reading him stories even cuter.
I totally see how no matter how hard he tried to overcome his disabilities he was never good enough which made his home life more difficult (projecting? Whattt).
Oblivious bisexual Charles rights. Not really a hc but yeah, that boy is dumb he's just completely oblivious in the moment he just never considered that because of the heteronormative society he was raised in, it just never crossed his mind. I'm a full believer he's just slow in understanding stuff and he wants to take things slow with Edwin.
He's screaming bisexual we all in the fandom clocked him right away it's nothing special really. We all know he's bi. That's a bisexual disaster if I have ever seen one. (Emphasis on the disaster).
Also, Charles kept the lantern from when Edwin found him! And that was the lantern he used when he went back to hell. And another detail I didn't see anyone talking about he also kept the book Edwin read to him without he knew. Actually he kept following the next books coming out in this series.
I also love any type of hc that gives him any artistic hobby- artist, dancer, or anything really, any reason that he didn't fit the stereotypical masculine gender roles, and made him even a larger disappointment in his dad's eyes. Anything that made it harder for him. I'm a slut for angst what can I say. (Like I'm a Charles Rowland kinny it's pretty much obvious).
This is pretty much it I think!
Mostly I just love the work the show did with him. I don't feel like large and elaborate headcanons are needed him- the canon is already amazing. I just love some small pieces that gives even more depth to the canon lore.
This show is so good I don't need really big headcanons. I don't think I can top the canon.
I love people sending me asks! Pease send my more if you have any🫶
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.
Don't know what about you people but I'm a Charles Rowland he/they swag truther.
I think the Cat King is at least part Fey?
The fey canonically exists in the Sandman Universe.
Their lore wasn't deeply explored in "The Dreaming: Waking Hours" where a major part of the plot took place in their realm, but they did seem to follow the traditional versions and go by the same rules.
Let's examine this:
Magical tricksters.
Blur the lines between good and evil, morally grey beings.
Time passes differently on realms of the fey.
Luck of understanding of boundaries. They'll get involved in your drama, they'll push you and invade your privacy.
Able to shift their appearance, wear disguise. The fey were shown to do that in the comics.
Known to be very liberated about sexualities. Fruity as fuck.
Don't obey the usual gender norms (CK wears a skirt and is very feminine).
Truth related powers in some versions???
Weakness to iron. (CK was beaten to death with an iron bar).
Extremely long life but they can die.
(Also go by title name/nicknames rather than more usual names? Because real names holds different weight).
(Also it would made hella sense for Desire to sleep with a Fey in my eyes but that's just me and my hc).
Just think about it.
