Netflix, which is full of not having any truly great cult shows in its catalog... Well, stop constantly canceling your shows ? Let them fucking live ! They wasted so many opportunities with 1899 (I'll probably never get over it...), Dark Crystal, Lockwood & Co and many more ! Netflix which is full of the fact that their show don't get many views ? Well if you stopped canceling shows so often, maybe people would take the time to invest their time in what you release, without being afraid that it will be canceled for the umpteenth time for free ?! I'm already freaking out about The Dead Boy Detectives (damn, let Neil Gaiman manage to save the show like with Sandman). Fingers crossed for a miracle of renewal ! Although, as I said before, the show concluded pretty well, but with the very last scene ?! You can't fucking cancel it ! I have to see Niko reunite with his family (and more specifically with Edwin) !

I want all of you people to know that the Cat King gave Edwin a Lily Flower, which is deadly for cats but it symbolises rebirth, condolences, commitment and purity of adoration and love.

Cat King gave his crush a flower that's deadly to him to pay his respects and express his commitment.

Oh, I will not shut up about them.

I ship Edwin and The Cat King more than Edwin and Charles. And I'm not going to apologize for that.

Definitely in my top 3 favorite scenes of DBD

The camera angles with the way they closed their eyes made the scene are somehow very cute but also sensual in a way.

And also the smiles that conveyed different feelings.

I love it.

I don't understand some people's obsession with the age difference between Edwin and the Cat King.

Yes, Edwin is a perennial 16 year old.

But the Cat King isn't even human. He is literally a cat deity. And as someone @jaks21 pointed out to me in the comments, the Cat King has the overall behavior of a cat : "I think it's also being forgotten that the cat king isn't human. He can shift into human form, but he is essentially a cat. This is all cat behavior. They have absolutely no sense of personal space (unless it's their own), they like the thrill of the hunt and they like to play."

Soon people will talk to me about zoophilia maybe ?

Beyond that, the Cat King's behavior seems to be quite immature most of the time as well.

So why are people absolutely trying to categorize him as a straight-up adult when he's not a human being ? Who tells you that his brain works like a human's ? Who tells you he's not a baby compared to other supernatural beings ?

It's all well and good to judge Edwin for his reality on the show, but give the same courtesy to the Cat King in this case, otherwise it just seems designed to unnecessarily lower the ship.

Also, if we want to speak realistically... since the Catwin plot revolves around Edwin finally coming to terms with his sexual orientation through his attraction to the Cat King (even if we know that there is also an important emotional context involved ) well it seems to me that Edwin is exactly the age of consent required for sexual relations, namely 16 years old.

Sexual maturity is not the same as legal age making you an adult and I feel like people often confuse the two.

I also find it paradoxical to say that Edwin, who lived more than a century, is judged as not being able to date an almost immortal divinity (because yes, one day the Cat King will no longer have his 9 lives and will therefore die for of good) clearly outside human norms because he happens to be a Cat King and not having at all the behavior of an human adult, or even of a real human, under the pretext that Edwin has his brain blocked at age 16 years old.

But many people will also say that Edward in Twilight cannot love Bella, a teenager, on the pretext that he has lived several centuries due to being a vampire, even if this type of vampire in this universe mentally stops evolving at the age where they were transformed, making Edwin an eternal teenager of 17 years old. Yet he is considered disgusting for wanting to be with a human teenager of almost the same age mentally ?(Be careful, I'm not saying that Twilight is an excellent and brilliant story, I'm just talking about the context of the age difference between the protagonists and the ridiculous discourse around it)

The battles over the age difference in fiction featuring supernatural beings are almost never consistent. And for good reason, I find it useless !

Because most of the time, the supernatural creature does not meet human standards in order to be associated with the younger person (at least if this person is actually younger, in the term of non-majority, because otherwise, as long as everyone is an adult we don't care). Or if it is not the creature that follows a particular pattern, we are for example transported into a universe inspired by a particular era, where the legal age is then different.

So, we must stop judging imaginary beings as if they were human adults, it makes no sense.

Yes. Edwin has been a 16 year old ghost for a very long time and technically cannot mature beyond this age. Tragic. But in the show, which is not the comics, it doesn't really matter. Edwin remains a character with an arc and evolution. So he has undeniably experienced things as a ghost that allow him to change and evolve in his own way.

Of course, it can be confusing, but Edwin's case aside, the Cat King does not meet human standards. And he clearly doesn't behave like a human. Even less that of an adult human. So stop judging him as such.

Essentially the Cat King resembles in his behavior a mixture of... well, a cat, since that's what he is, and a form of immature teenager.

That the Cat King is older than Edwin doesn't matter if he doesn't have a maturity greater than Edwin.

Once again, the Cat King clearly doesn't have the mentality or maturity of most healthy adults of our world. So why absolutely try to judge him as such ? Again, that doesn't make sense.

The Cat King is a being to be judged outside of our realistic standards.

Plus, being uncomfortable with the Cat King & Edwin relationship because Edwin is 16... seems ridiculous again.

Although I would love for the show to make Catwin canon in the future I doubt that will be the case (but good if it happens !), as things stand the Cat King only seemed to be a tool to allow Edwin to open up a little more about himself, in particular about accepting his sexuality, even if not only that. So, since the sexual aspect is very much emphasized in this relationship, it must be taken into account. And Edwin is a 16 year old teenager. Not only do adolescents inevitably have a period of trouble linked to sex, but in fiction the treatment of sexuality is sometimes done through a creature outside the norms of reality, therefore fanciful, often morally dubious.

It’s a classic trope in the world of fiction !

And if that makes you uncomfortable... well I don't know what to do for you.

Again, as I said before, Edwin is of the required age of consent in terms of sexual relations.

So how does it shock you to see someone old enough to explore their sexuality find themselves in a sexuality-related scenario with the classic trope of a fantasy creature to do so ?

This kind of controversy is beyond me! We're talking about fictional characters of a supernatural nature !

The Cat King: Must be hard not being able to laugh

Edwin: I do have a sense of humour, you know

The Cat king: I’ve never heard you laugh before

Edwin: I’ve never heard you say anything funny

On Edwin and the Cat King

I feel like Edwin and the Cat King might have actually kissed if the Cat King didn't interrupt it by putting the bracelet on him. Like Ediwn's eyes were closed and his lips were already parted like damn.

All the Cat King says he wants is to be "happy" (implying he's sad and lonely), but the Cat King doesn't even believe that he could get love if he asked, hence why had to threaten Edwin to try to get some semblance of love.

But it's like he knew he would fail. He even went after the least romantically available guy who he knows wants to leave town. And the time he shape shifted into Monty and Edwin indicates that he doesn't even think that Edwin will like him as he is. The Cat King seems like a cat who was abandoned, and then gathered an army of cats to replace the family that didn't love him. (I'm not crying you're crying).

Anyway, the fact that he even mentioned the word "consensual" in his little speech means that he knew what he was doing was NOT that. Putting a magical shackle on someone to keep them in town until they make you "happy" is not consent. Even if it's just forcing you to count cats, it's still forcing you to do something against your will.

The Cat King feels just like another example of a bully. This show has been showing bullies from every angle, and this is definitely one of their main long term angles (bully being a nice term). But I'm glad he gave Edwin a flower at the end, because that indicates he's in some sort of redemption arc, and I love that.

So maybe in the end they will still kiss, once the Cat King believes he is lovable as he is, and Edwin sees love with a guy as an option.

I thought since Twitter are getting their Cat King food, so should Tumblr.

All he knows is chasing after a skinny, British tease and be a pretty menace in a skirt.
