as an elder millennial, tone indicators are an old dog new trick vibe that I’m desperately trying to grasp after over twenty years of tone-rawdogging online social spaces, and dear god if I can ever get my brain to read /pos NOT as ‘piece of shit’ it’ll be the biggest win for me
no but he saves his entire crew and cleverly steals back his ship,
then quietly takes himself down to sit with the body of the man he’s spent the last few months dreaming of finding, of loving, of spending the rest of his life with. because now he has to say goodbye to him.
the sheer quantity of things people are annoyed that weren’t touched on in s2 is baffling to me when we didn’t even really know where the fuck ed slept in s1
“What movie have you watched more than 7 times” my sibling in swashbuckling I am neurodivergent and in my 40th year of life that’s a VERY, VERY BIG COLLECTION OF GIFS. PLEASE.
ok you know what? yeah I have some HUGE issues with s2 actually, I’ve gotta say it. I have a LIST. I’m just gonna go MOST OFFENSIVE FIRST I can’t believe I have to say this it’s SO harsh i’m so sorry? I understand if you have to mute me,
🗣️ WHY DIDN’T THEY KEEP HOLDING HANDS 😤
do you ever just rewatch the gay pirate show and spend the entire time kicking your legs because it’s so funny and silly and cute and super gay and it just makes you so fucking happy?
they’ve been pals for twenty years but last night taika referred to them as ed and stede the pirates they last pretended to be a year ago and I am feeling unwell about it
sorry but ed’s face when he’s processing stede just… holding his hand. because he’ll take whatever he can get and he loves everything about him and he loves being near him and it’s nice and it feels good 🥹 perfect’s a good word for it, yeah.

Anyway, what’s a line from the gay pirate show that never fails to make you giggle?
Mine is “Well, one can only hope he’s talking to us, in which case—WOW!”
STILL thinking about how a strong fandom-wide prediction was “in s2 Ed is gonna hear about Stede’s ‘death’ and he’s gonna mourn him!” and then the show rolled up and said “lol nah flip”.
Not only did Stede mourn Ed but he also had to process his crew causing it.

Attention: this isn’t a continuity error, boyfriends just needed the comfort of very casually being physically closer to each other while being sentenced and that’s canon.

did he actually give him another little kiss if it wasn’t shown in the episode though? like did someone decide that shouldn’t have happened? it’s delightful to see but i am also very stressed and overwhelmed trying to work out how to class this
please be for fucking real about these two and this moment. like we ~knew but now we KNOW. it’s the s2 foot touch it’s the fucking s2 foot touch for REAL 💀

to wish me happy birthday on Live and I don’t need any other gift today tbh, I am vibrating with power
hey did you know that Ed and Stede are in love and they’re gonna come back to each other and find a more mature kind of love together and call each other pet names and that’s gonna happen in season two and that comes out in less than four weeks, did you know 🧍♂️
I’m sure that I’m not alone in this but I am vacillating wildly between absolute confidence in our

cause and sheer panic that our efforts will be for nothing.
Thing is, they’re already not for nothing—I know. I know that. But it’s still a lot of emotion for one brain.
ok wait but wait i only just really thought about—y’all why are they—what are they doing on the revenge in the daylight, with the party decorations still up, and ed in his soft clothes, and stede’s shirt untucked, why are they—what did they—what else have we been robbed of 😭
whoever the fuck sends nasty and entitled emails to fic writers with threats like “people won’t wait forever” and saying not updating for months is “shitting on the goodwill” of readers, I wish you a very die in a fucking fire.
fan creators don’t owe other fans shit, actually.
is anybody else still just like 🧍🏼♂️ gimme a minute here I’m—just a minute please. I fear I have anticipated too hard and ended up in overwhelm and it feels embarrassing but yeah
“I expected to see A, B and C, why were none of these covered”—some recurring things have been trickling into fan creations for 18mths but canon doesn’t “owe” us any of these. They’re telling their own story. You want those things addressed? Keep an eye on ao3.
I wish there was a way to know if all our noise was making any difference. I’ll be yelling either way because I am mad and want to be a bother. But it’d be nice to know if I’m being a productive bother.

“The show was a critical success as well, ranking on year-end best of lists. Sadly, however, the fan enthusiasm was not enough for Max to give OFMD an on-air conclusion.”
@SLAwrites
Fan enthusiasm AND critical success aren’t enough for a queer show to survive. What IS?

’s IG post regarding what we can do in this tiny window to encourage reversal and I just think that’s a soft little battle cry, crew. We only have this one life.
to everyone losing their ofmd hyperfixation I wish you all the best and see you on the flipside when s2 airs and you’re falling back in the hole and I’m still just down here chilling. enjoy your freedom, could never be me tho
One day we’ll get this from Samba’s angle 🥹

just in case you weren’t mad enough about the northern lights pls allow me to present the southern lights aka aurora australis which I have NEVER seen a) closer than the horizon or b) IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN I feel insane, was that the fucking rapture (not surprised I’m still here)
not to say something controversial yet so brave but I don’t care about a trailer as much as I care about a s2 airing date. just tell me what date I’m planning my future around please.

they didn’t see each other for 21 years but then once they finally did see each other it was twice in the same day because suddenly they were within each other’s orbit again and you simply can’t mess with that kind of gravitational pull!!!!!!!
