living in a glowship

can I interest you in mermaid 12clara?

its not clear but asjhdsa I like to imagine that Edwin types like this. Eyes squinting, and using phone at arm's length, and typing only with a finger.

There’s is this creator on TikTok valeria who did a few videos about DBD and some of them are extremely detailed outfits analysis of Edwin and Charles (and let me tell you, the costume department knows his shit. These are historically accurate)

Anyway on their Charles analysis they pointed out that his polo shirt, while originally bright red in the pilot, progressively turns burgundy, then black, then burgundy again, then back to red in the final scene, as a way to represent Charles inner struggles during the season (went back to check this out and it’s true!!!).

First, that’s an amazing detail to add to a character’s costume.

Second, on a more watsonian perspective:

Do you think Charles’s polo just changes color like a polo version of a mood ring?

Specifically this is interesting because lilies are toxic to cats, but also because the meanings associated with lilies as well as their general associations have to do with love, death (as it is a common flower to use at funerals), and innocence. It's a very fitting flower to give to Edwin after Niko's death.

I don't know if it's just a myth where I'm from but I've learned that having a horshoe turned up in the form of an U means good luck as you're catching good things. If it's instead turned down like a rainbow it brings bad luck, because all of the good things are dropping out of the horseshoe. This is why you always need to make sure which way you've hung up a horseshoe in your house so you don't attract misfortune.

Now in Nikos case her earrings are turned down, so they're in the shape of a rainbow, meaning that she is losing all of her good luck. Combined with the "outlook not so good" Niko's fate is already sealed way before they even get near Esther.
