You'll never buy my dignity in your life; sooner you'll meet me on the moon.
OK, so. Seeing that I did Léthé's graphic [link], I also did Arno's matching one.
And that's all I wanted to say. Enjoy XD

every gay friend group has: the repressed academic, the ska loving "brawn", the formerly mean girl psychic, the match making anime fan, the astrology lover, the lesbian butcher/reluctant big sister, the sexy cat with nine lives, the walrus who runs a magic shop and the local witch who wants to kill everyone

Arno é contatado pelo Marquês de Sade, que lhe pede ajuda para encontrar o manuscrito de Nicolas de Condorcet, escondido na tumba sob a cidade, em troca de um navio para levar Arno ao Egito. Durante sua busca, Arno encontra invasores de tumbas liderados pelo capitão Philippe Rose (Taylor Price), um subordinado de Napoleão, que deseja recuperar um artefato - uma Maçã do Éden - de um templo Precursor sob a igreja da cidade. Arno descobre que o manuscrito foi roubado por uma criança ladrão, Léon (Eamon Stocks), que foi capturado pelos invasores. Arno resgata Léon e recupera o manuscrito, mas se recusa a ajudá-lo a deter os invasores. Depois de uma visão de Élise e de ouvir os apelos de Léon, porém, ele muda de ideia.
Depois de descobrir a localização do templo e recuperar a chave de um dos oficiais de Napoleão, Arno abre a porta do templo, mas é emboscado por Rose, que traiu Napoleão e deseja ficar com a Maçã. Arno sobrevive à emboscada, mata Rose e recupera a Maçã, usando-a para repelir os invasores restantes e escapar. Mais tarde, ele conhece de Sade e lhe dá o manuscrito. Arno decide ficar na França, e contata a Irmandade para entregar a Maçã ao Egito, longe do alcance de Napoleão, que é preso por deserção e traição.

I didn't believe it at first but after watching the show, Dead Boy Detectives was so obviously crafted to be catnip for the Tumblr girlies(gn), cause like. Homoerotic ghost detectives. Sassy psychics. Weird girls. Witches. A literal cat king. Sad twink that's actually a crow. Hot goth lesbian butchers. Slowburn ft. immortal beings. Gay confessions in hell. This show was crafted in a lab for us, and I LOVE IT. Go watch it if you haven't already.

Sort of bums me out that so many people didn't seem to Get the Cat King so here are my thoughts:
So let's start with Edwin's crime. He uses something the cat desires (a sardine) to lure the cat to him and then uses an enchanted string to trap the cat with magic. He demands the answer to a question in exchange for its release. Edwin knows it is dangerous to use magic on a cat, that it violates Rules but he does it anyway.
Binding a creature and agreeing to set them free under a certain condition is very Classic Fairytale. its also a favourite trope of Neil Gaiman's (he did not write this show but his influence is there). In both the Sandman and his novel Stardust (and the film adaptation) trapping a creature with magic and demanding a task/favour in exchange for their freedom is an extremely important plot point. Edwin binding a cat and demanding an answer in exchange is exactly in line with this Fairytale trope
And so is the Cat Kings response. The Cat King is a trickster. What he does to Edwin is exactly what Edwin did to one of his subjects. He entices Edwin, he binds him with magic and when Edwin demands to be free he turns his own words against him "why all the fuss for one little spell?" Edwin did something wrong. He imposed his will/magic on another creature and the Cat King is punishing him for it in a way that is poetic. Its fairytale. its trickster. its classic.
I've also seen people complain that the task Edwin was given 'count all the cats' is 'impossible'...except its fucking not. Edwin does it. He does it so well he actually BEATS the Cat King ("you didn't count yourself" Are.You.Kidding.Me. Classic!Fairytale!Vibes!)
The Cat Kings choice to bind Edwin to Port Townsend is good on so many levels. From a storytelling perspective it forces characters who can travel anywhere in the world to stay in one place, and increases the stakes for these characters who are supposed to be on the run. From a genre perspective...its an excellent use of fairytale tropes using both Rules of magic, a protagonist who is unkind to a seemingly weak creature who is punished by a more powerful law, a binding, a task to complete, etc
Which just leaves the character perspective which it ALSO does really fucking well and introduces the final aspect to the Cat Kings character. He's seductive. He is responsible for Edwin, 100 years old ghost boy, finally unpacking his internalized homophpbia. he is the catalyst (cat pun not intended)
He pushes Edwin, challenges him, at times literally forces the truth out of Edwin, but he really never does violate his consent. Significantly Edwin is attracted to him, like its an important part of his character that he is. He may not like the Cat King but he is attracted to him!
The Cat King is such a great example of a trickster, a morally grey character who imposes a sense of justice on Edwin after he crosses a line, but also has his own selfish interests and meddles. Hes so important to the plot of the show, to Edwin's character arc, to the genre.
And he's just fun. Unapologetically queer, powerful, complicated. Silly little outfits. Petty cat behavior. Deep heart.
Some of you just didn't get it. And I'm sorry for you. because the Cat King is Excellent actually.

Madame Margot is Arno's mother. Here we are, that's my canon and you can't change my mind. Like, for real. Her story and Marie's story are too similar. And she lowkey looks like an older version of Marie from one of these paintings.
And you know what? *Writing it in The Matter of Price*

Convinced the Cat King was so in to Edwin because cats always gravitate to the person least likely to pet them. You have crippling allergies and might die if I touch you? You’re my favorite. You’re a repressed little Victorian boy who flinches if I show you the slightest affection? Obsessed.

The fact that “The King Of Cats tries to seduce a Edwardian ghost twink” is a legit plot point in this show just fucking sends me
