An obsession with David Tennant never really dies, it just hibernates until he breaks your heart in a new show and then you have to go through being in love with him all over again

#ofmds2poilers I fucking love how time and space works in the OFMD universe. Stede goes through captain training, and the crew find and raid two ships, picking up and offloading a curse, all within the time it takes Ed to catch a fish.

OFMD feels like a love letter to every fan who’s loved a piece of media and received indifference at best in return. To love something so much and have everyone involved love it too, show us in every moment that, yes, it is special, and loved and cared about, is so beautiful.

#ofmda2spoilers It’s such a great detail to have Ed’s accent wax and wane depending on who he’s talking to. A strong example is when he speaks to Fang and matches his cadence. As an immigrant, that’s exactly what happens when I’m around family.

Side-eyeing reviewers who say season 2 is just giving fans what they want. Season 1 gave people what they wanted, and needed, in a story. We felt seen, by a show that didn’t even know who we were. So maybe the writers are just damn good at their jobs. #ofmds2spoilers
