if you could have voted and didn’t/didn’t vote blue i kindly ask you to stop interacting with me please.

DBDA nightly analysis #22!
tonight’s topic: charles’ death/abuse MASSIVE TWs guys!!
(this one’s gonna be p short bc i need to find more things to analyze in advance LMAO apologies!! ((also, this is going to be written sort of halfway in charles’ pov to help illustrate what i’m imagining this is like for him. obviously i dont think he’s weak or pathetic for not being able to survive the insane assault and abuse he faced.(((also also, this is my least favorite analysis ive written yet, im so sorry if this is your first impression of me i promise im usually better at this-))))))
a theory that has been plaguing my mind is that charles feels inadequate about his death. his death was a tragedy, of course, but so was his life. his father abused him for who knows how long, but certainly for a long time considering how used to it he seemed.
he was physically abused for years and here he was, not escaped yet, but not far from it. sixteen years old with about two years to go and at st. hilarion’s for the time being. he even had a few people he considered friends.
but then he watches as they do this wretched thing and hurt somebody innocent on account of a thing like their race. they were hurting someone who had done nothing wrong, just like his father did to him. and what’s worse, he was south asian too. this could be him in a second if they chose for it to be.
he couldn’t ever step up and protect himself, so here he was stepping in to protect someone else. someone he could see being him. he was the saviour he needed.
the boy got away.
he didn’t.
he took his place and that was fine. he could handle abuse. he could manage it. he dealt with it for so long that nothing they could do would affect him that much, right? and of course, the betrayal hurt, but hell, it hurt more when it was his dad who abused him. he could deal with this.
but the pain started getting worse, and the cold was sharper than he’d ever felt it. he had to run. he had to escape. he never had the chance to escape or run away or hide from his dad, he just had to take it. why was he so weak that he couldn’t handle it now?
he ran. he ran and he hated himself for it, but he couldn’t even focus on that because he was so cold. he was so bloody cold. he had never been this cold before. and it hurt like hell where they had thrown stones at him. the cold buried itself into where the bruises were probably forming and he was just shivering. it was all he could do.
and then charles died.
he died because of physical injuries. internal bleeding. what a fucking joke. he had sustained injuries that hurt way more than anything those bullies could’ve done but it was that fucking chill in the air- he had spent all his life in pain. he had spent all of his life with injuries and that’s what ended up killing him? he knew what pain was. he knew it well.
he thought it may be the end of him, but not like this. he though maybe his father would take it too far one day and- but it wasn’t even that. it was some boys trying to make fun of him and he wasn’t good enough to take it.
that’s why he swore to be that protector for edwin. edwin had saved him and now he wouldn’t ever have to worry about physical harm. charles would be able to endure that for him now. he couldn’t die from it anymore, could he? what did it matter.
no one i follow on my main ig even watches dbda, but i post shit like this anyway 😭
yk how everyone has their breaking point? yeah, i NEED to know what niko sasaki’s is. for medical reasons. i need to know what would make her angry beyond belief and how she would express that. PLEASE HELP
I think Niko would be the kind of person to go off on someone who makes fun of somebody else's interests. Anyone who tries to shame others for enjoying things.
YES SO TRUE!!!

(pls read intro in youtuber voice) WHATS up guys, erebus here, ready to ruin your day once again!!
yk how charles is the literal embodiment of sunshine?
yeah so like he was probably that for his mom too
why did this come to mind, i hear you asking? (no one is asking)
bc, for some reason, the song “you are my sunshine” got in my head!
yk, the song that goes
“you are my sunshine
my only sunshine
you make me happy
when skies are grey
you’ll never know, dear
how much i love(d) you
oh, please don’t take my sunshine away”
and immediately said “that’s charles’ mom!!
if i have to live with these thoughts, you do too.
OKAY HERES A THING IVE BEEN ITCHING TO TALK ABOUT BUT IVE BEEN AFRAID THAT PEOPLE WILL MISINTERPRET ME
crystal knows that edwin likes charles. look at how she looks at them in the first few episodes especially. look at the things she says about them. “deceased married couple,” for one. i KNOW she knows it. it’s OKAY that she knows it. she KNOWS WHY edwin’s jealous and that’s OKAY. she isn’t obligated to protect edwin’s feelings. she isn’t obligated to refuse to pursue something with charles just because she knows how edwin feels. that’s not her fucking responsibility!! she can be aware and understand and still become involved with charles!!!!
i’ve been so afraid to say this because i don’t want anyone to sit here and think im saying that crystal is a shitty person for doing stuff with charles even though she knows how edwin feels. i’m not saying that at all.
because i’m neurodivergent, i feel i must liken this to my own experiences to help elucidate my meaning.
i had this friend group where everyone knew i had a crush on this one guy. he was my best friend at the time. he told us he had a crush on someone but that he would only tell me because i was the person he trusted the most. he told me it was someone else within the friend group. he then enlisted my help in asking her out and i did it. i had a conversation with her where i asked if she liked anyone and was very clearly trying to coax out an answer. i eventually said something along the lines of “but if you HAD to choose one person to date, who would it be???” and she finally cracked and said that it would be him, but that she would never do anything about it because she couldn’t do that to me. i was immediately like ??? that’s bullshit?? i don’t have any particular claim over this person. sure, i like him, but who am i to stand in the way of a potential relationship? you like him and he likes you and you’re allowed to do something about it. i can put my big boy pants on and say that you both made a choice and accept that i wasn’t it. that’s fine. don’t refuse the fact that you like him for my sake, that’s dumb.
all this to say, edwin liking charles does not mean he has a claim over him. charles can make his own decisions and the one he chose was to pursue crystal. crystal is not then obligated to say “well, because i know that edwin likes him, i will not pursue him back out of respect! even though he likes me and is actively TRYING to pursue me and even though i actively like him back!!”
that’s some BULLSHIT. they are their own people and are capable of making their own decisions!! she can know and still like him and want him and make out with him. that’s fine! stop treating her like a shit person just because she knows!
ADDING ONTO THIS BC IM STILL THINKING ABOUT IT A LITTLE-
that’s probably why she rejected charles for as long as she did. he has this incredibly close relationship with someone who is very clearly in love with him and side-eyes her like crazy since the second charles looked at her. she was attracted to him from the beginning, most definitely, but she didn’t wanna deal with all that. she didn’t want to get in the way of shit. she didn’t want to overstep any bounds. finally, she was like “alr, this dude is gonna hate me regardless. might as well at least have fun.”
bi 4 bi percabeth,,,,, 👉👈
i fw this SO hard (and i’m OBSESSED with the colors and the lighting AAAAAA)
surprised this hadn't been made yet
Percy listens to those whale noises that people use to sleep and he just listens to them like a podcast.
And any time he hears someone like Annabeth listening to them he's like "Wow Daphne is really something else. Honestly I can't believe she would do that"
And like she's like "what?"
And Percy just translates the entire thing to her and instead of calming sounds to help her concentrate she now has Percy tell her all the whale drama which she is oddly immersed with.
this is the funniest thing ever
op this is such an incredible image tysm
guys i just heard the word pa[y]n[e] in a song and my head shot up in such a pavlovian-esque way what in tarnation is wrong with me that is a normal word
So real tho. Literally every time one of my lecturers or seminar tutor mention WW1 - which is often since I'm currently studying Woolf's Mrs Dalloway and Brecht's Mother Courage - my first reaction is 'how much of this would Edwin have known and how much would he have had to find out after Hell?'. This is bad
NO THATS SO REAL OF YOU. I CANT HELP BUT RELATE EVERYTHING I SEE TO DBDA ITS SUCH A PROBLEM- what are my psych and soc classes for if not saying “lmao just like edwin,” or “oh, charles def does this” ???? learning how people work??? certainly not.
Literally it has got to the point where I'm reading literary criticism that is relevant to what I'm studying not because it's useful for my degree but because I think learning about early treatments and theories around shell-shock will help me write fanfiction lmao
NO THATS SO FUCKING REAL IM GLAD WE’RE ON THE SAME PAGE POOKIE 🙏🙏🙏
Charles: We've just started dating. I've got to take it slow. Edwin deserves to be romanced real and propper
Edwin internally: (Do me!Do me!Do me!Do me!Do m-)
dude only just realised what lust was like, he must have gotten slapped in the face with over a century of it all at the same time-
did anyone ask me to make a masterpost of music that edwin might have listened to/enjoyed when he was alive? no. am i going to make one anyway? its already half done actually
pLEASE.
