Best friends to lovers is a trope that gets me Every. Fucking. Time. I cry, I laugh, I feel the warm and fuzzies in a way unlike I do with any other trope....
However! Edwin x Cat King spends the whole first season (of many, if Netflix knows what's good for them) going from Edwin gay panicking over a charismatic, allpowerful catboi, to said catboi realizing he may not have landed on his feet when he fell for the tortured twink and Edwin realizing that the Cat King isn't really a scary forbidden desire; he's just the bad bitch he pulled by being autistic. But, I still think of the two of them and end up picturing Charles around the corner seeing them together and getting jealous and realizing maybe his feelings for Edwin aren't entirely platonic. And now I think I understand the hype for "love triangles" now. I just needed to see it with gay ghost geeks instead of glittery vampires.

The Cat King did not sexually harass Edwin. I'm tired of seeing this bullshit.
He only offered to sleep with him once and as soon as he saw that Edwin was uncomfortable, he offered him another task.
Yes, he continued to flirt with him the other 2 times he saw her, but at no time did he try to force Edwin to do something he didn't want to do. That's all the difference.
And also, for the thousandth time, Edwin was clearly in crush on the Cat King in return. He enjoyed all the flirting and interest the Cat King gave him. Not only that but it was positive for his development.
So please, people stop talking about this bullshit.
I also saw someone say that the Cat King acted like a predator towards Edwin... But in what way ?
Because he asked him to sleep with him ? Do you know that sexual proposition does not necessarily equal predatory ?
Because he put a spell on him ? Punishment for Edwin doing the same thing to one of his cats.
That he had him watched ? Well he literally gave him a task / punishment to accomplish in his own town. Logically, he therefore keeps an eye on Edwin.
Whether people liked it or not, but Edwin liked the Cat King and was attracted to him. He was not traumatized by him. He's not afraid of him. He appreciated all the flirting and interest that was shown in him. And the Cat King didn't force him to do anything at all. He didn't even try. The complete opposite of the behavior of a predator and a sexual harasser.
Frankly, it's getting ridiculous. It's okay to dislike the Cat King and the Catwin relationship, but stop trying to turn it into something it's not.
What are you so afraid of ? Edwin will probably end up with Charles anyway.
But I imagine that what once again drives these people crazy is precisely the fact that canonically, whether they liked it or not, Edwin had a crush on the Cat King and appreciated his attentions, without experiencing / feeling them like attacks, which they obviously were not, as I said in many others posts...
