Save Dead Boy Detectives - Blog Posts
actually, just looking at it from a general, logical point of view, cancelling Dead Boy Detectives doesn't make any goddamn sense.
The few shows Netflix actually keeps alive until the end for them to build a huge fanbase have ended or will end in the near future.
TUA ended this year, Stranger Things s5 (its final season) is set for 2025, Arcane s2 (its final season as well) will be released in November.
Netflix, you don't really have any major shows anymore. You've killed every show with the potential to grow as big as those mentioned above.
With DBDA connected with the Sandman Universe, there was so much potential for this show to become even more of a hit than it already is. It could've been one of those shows that the viewers grow up with.
@netflix we all have already said it, but oh boy, you made a huge mistake
IF YOU WANTED US TO BE CRUSHED OR DEVASTATED
WE ARE
BUT WE'RE ALSO BLOODY ANGRY, AND YOU WON'T BE TAKING US ANYWHERE.
WE WON'T BE HAVING IT.
WE STILL HAVE A PURPOSE.
WE'RE THE DEAD BOY DETECTIVE AGENCY.
Orders from the general, folks.
This is the "nah I'm not going anywhere. Netflix might think the story ends there but I am laughing behind their back, I will continue being active in this fandom no matter what the show's fate shall be, because letting that die would be the worst death of them all." post.
You want us to be hurt and broken about it? Well we are. We are devastated. Life sucks.
But we will not let this be just a story of tragedy and end there, let us be forgotten over time, we won't be having it! We are going to fill the cracks of the shattered pieces with our light!
Reblog to agree if you're also gonna stay and spread light.
'If you wanted us to be crushed or devestated, we are but we're also bloody angry, and you won't be taking us anywhere. We won't be having it. We still have a purpose, we're the dead boy detective agency!' βΉ ΰ£ͺ Λ
ATTENTION DEAD BOYS FANDOM:
We have some unfinished business and a case to solve: The Case of the Curious Cancellation! ππ
Here are the ways you can help (be sure to read until the end).
I'm not sure how many people here on Tumblr are also over on DBDA Twitter, but there have been MANY developments in the last 24 hours and it's important for all of us to be on the same page if we're going to have a chance in hell of saving our show.
First and foremost, we need to get Dead Boy Detectives in the Netflix Top 10 again. This means running it as much as possible. Read about that below:
(SOURCE x)
As the graphic says, the goal is to have it running on a loop constantly, as much as you physically can. Be sure to have some level of volume on or else it won't count. If you're on Twitter be sure to post your rewatch (photos of your tv, commentary, etc.) with the hashtag #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives !!!
Also, there's no better time to do this: the Tweet below brings up a great point! π
(SOURCE x)
Second, and easiest thing: KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE SHOW AND CREATING CONTENT ABOUT THE SHOW. Analysis, fics, fanart, shitposts, gif sets, memes, tik tok videos, so on - do not stop! Reblog other people's stuff and talk about it! Give fics kudos, comment, make fic rec lists and post that WIP or sketch! The most important thing to remember is to TAG YOUR POSTS AND CREATIONS. We need to trend!!! On Tumblr make sure you continue tagging your posts as you probably already are (look at my tags on this post if you need help, and remember not to use "DBD" on here because that is another fandom! We use DBDA here). On Twitter you want to use the hashtag #ReviveDeadBoyDetectives for the rewatch and #SaveDeadBoyDetectives is a popular one, too. You can also use #DeadBoyDetectives. Hell, I usually use all three if I can! Hashtag every post you make about Dead Boys, no matter how annoying or "cringe" you may feel. Flood the fucking tag and do not stop.
Third, everyone needs to sign and keep circulating the petition. We've surpassed 5,000 signatures in a day which is fantastic, but we need more. Get everyone you know to sign it; tell them it takes no more than 15 seconds. Be annoying until they do it just to shut you up.
Fourth, request "Dead Boy Detectives Season 2" through Netflix's support website. It's a small thing but if we all do this a couple times a day it will get their attention. They really do vet these suggestions, and an influx of requests for a canceled show will raise eyebrows.
Lastly, if you decide to write Netflix (via email or a letter - their office address has been floating around) please remember to stay concise and professional. Don't curse at them, don't call names. State that you are disappointed with the cancellation of the show, maybe add an anecdote about what it meant to you, and I would even recommend attaching some articles that emphasize people's displeasure with the platform abandoning shows on a whim and Netflix's flippant attitude toward queer shows in particular. Dead Boy Detective Agency on Twitter has retweeted every article on this topic so far, you can find their page here.
You can also use graphics such as the ones below to affirm that the cancellation was unjust.

I know this feels like a lot: know your limits and take care of yourself. Whether you do every single one of these things or just a few of these things, every llittle bit helps!
Even in the worst case scenario where nothing changes, this gesture will mean so much to everyone who made this show. We owe it to the writers, cast, crew, and each other to TRY. We can all agree that this show deserves at least another season and if Netflix isn't going to do it, they need to be open to selling it to someone who will. We cannot keep allowing them to axe these queer and diverse shows with little regard for their customers and their employees, but also because it sets a harmful standard in the industry that is destroying television.
Let's crack this case and bring our agency back! I truly believe in this community!! π We can do this!!
If there are any spelling errors or issues with links let me know! I did this on mobile because I want to mobilize this information as quickly as possible! I'll be adding on to this with new developments and can answer any questions you all might have. Lets save our show!
Someone in the fandom gave me this idea and I think it's perfect.

Just a reminder that 'Request a Title On Netflix' still exists.....so maybe go ask for Dead Boy Detectives season 2 three times https://help.netflix.com/en/titlerequest
(I don't tend to ask people to reblog things, but please reblog this instead of liking it. please SPREAD this knowledge. we want them to be bombarded by requests, and that only happens if people know this link exists. It worked for the Sense8 finale, we need it to work now)
They will come back - come back again, even though Netflix destroys. We never wasted fanfic, art or memes. Do you think We would squander our boys?
Suggest Dead Boy Detectives To Netflix
Netflix has a suggestion page where you can ask for movies or tv shows to be added to the catalogue. Fill in all three suggestion lines with "Renew Dead Boy Detectives" or just "Dead Boy Detectives".
That's not what the page is for, but they have to check that eventually, and if there's a fucking massive amount of people saying this, it will send a message!! It's literally super fucking easy, and there's no limit to how many times you can submit.
GO WILD!
oh no, i just happened to stumble upon Netflix's address, and accidentally posted it everywhere so it's super easy to find! i sure hope people don't write letters about Dead Boy Detectives and make their mailbox explode from overcapacity! that would be so unfortunate π±
Netflix, Inc. 121 Albright Way Los Gatos, CA 95032, USA
Well, it's a rubbish night, but I hope everyone's doing ok and massive hugs to anyone that wants one.

Another meme I had to make about dead boy detectives
I can't remember who I saw this meme from but the show was Torchwood so of course I had to make a dead boy detectives one.
Shout out to my friend who accidentally made an Edwin cookie. It was delicious
Jenny and The Spider
It has been a long day at work for Jenny. Having to clean up after your butcher shop exploded is not easy.
She was on her way to the store when she saw her. Maxine. That was impossible she died. But there she was walking out of an alley way.
"Jenny," Said what had to be Maxine going towards her. Before Jenny could do anything this giant spider made of dolls popped out and ripped up Maxine.
Jenny was glad that it was dark out so no one else could witness the horror she just had. But she had to admit it was kind of hot to see her stalker ex be ripped to shreds.
The spider turned to her and from what she could tell was staring at her and tilted its head.
"Uh, hi?" Jenny said in disbelief that she actually spoke to the spider.
The spider made noises that she had to guess was a greeting.
"Thanks for beating up my ex by the way. Thought she would be in hell at this point," The spider just gave a nod. "Hey do you want to go somewhere? I was just going to get dinner if you wanted to join me?"
The spider agreed and followed Jenny to the stores where she was to pickup her food order. She took the food and sat down on a bench with the creature across from her.
They aye together and Jenny had to admit it was nice to sit with someone and not have to be forced into conversation. The two sat there for a while till Jenny had to go back home to get some rest.
They walked together till they reach the alley the doll spider popped out of and split ways. Both going home, one to a destroyed building and one to hell. They may not see each other again but neither will forget the night they had together.

A little Dead Boy Detectives fandom fun is coming your way for April Fool's Day, March 29 - April 1 ππ
Want to jump in?
Spin this picker wheel twice.
Whoever you land on is your pairing. But, here's the catch: if you get one of the main pairings for the fandom, you've got to respin! No Payneland, Palasaki, Catwin, Montwin, or Cryland for this event. It's rare and improbable pairings only.
We want to hear you convince us of the undying love between Angie and the Doll-Spider, or wax poetic about how the Night Nurse and the Ghost Postman are written in the stars. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
Tag your posts with #foolish pairing fest and be sure to @ us. We'll reblog everything sfw to share the love! π
If this isn't my first tattoo I have done something wrong
So I have this now. The ducks started as a joke (not my idea or designs they were done by namacofazbear) I don't think it's a joke anymore.
My mind just thought of the cat king meeting the goblin king. Dead Boy Detectives and the Labyrinth wouldn't be the weirdest cross over. Now I also feel like the cat king has at least met David Bowie. The things that pop into my head.
The jinx and cat king cosplays are going to go crazy
Fuck why do I have to have such great art ideas when I don't have the time or tools to draw it. I saw a piece with someone liking in a mirror and a figure behind them only showing up on the mirror. So I had the thought of that but like with Crystal with David trapped in her head.
