โI love everything about youโ || FREE PALESTINE ๐ต๐ธ || into gay pirates and gay angels and what not ๐ดโโ ๏ธ || NSFW ๐ || no minors please!
yโall, I mean this in the most genuine, kind, non-judgmental way, but I am begging some of you to please stop assuming that every misstep someone makes is made purposefully and maliciously.
a gay pirate show made rhys darby and taika waititi become sex symbols to a bunch of queer youths with daddy issues, good for them, what a time to be alive
we are ALL imperfect beings, and you literally cannot expect someone to know every correct phrase or have lived exactly the same experience as you. iโm all for speaking up directly to the person and being like โhey, this is fucked, and here is why,โ and if theyโre doubling down
on something horrible, absolutely make others aware so they can do what they need to do make their space more comfortableโbut in regards to someone who clearly just did not know/wasnโt aware what they said would even remotely be an issue, it doesnโt need to become a public
could you imagine a stranger fuckin STABBING you in the stomach and your first instinct is to look at them and say, โdid you mean to do that?โ stede bonnet, i fucking love you
roasting session every single time. like, that is another person on that side, who is as real and as complex and full of emotions and broken as you are yourself. i want to stress this is not directed at anyone specifically, this is a general thing in response to
what if they just make their reunion funny as fuck. like weโre out here thinking theyโre gonna have a big show down & instead the two of them see each other and Stedeโs like โIโm MAD at youโ & Edโs like โwell IโM mad at YOU.โ & then itโs just a really shitty fisticuffs fight
multiple tweets from accounts I donโt even remember all just ruthlessly going in on people. idk, obviously different things can affect you and Iโm not trying to just be like โyou canโt be mad ๐คโ but I guess what Iโm beggin yall to do is just try to give others the kindness youโd
SEASON 2 EPISODE 1 OF OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH IS OFFICIALLY WRITTEN AND PRINTED AND SOON ENOUGH ITS GONNA BE SENT OUT TO THE CAST AND THEN FILMED AND THEN EVENTUALLY WEโRE GONNA GET TO SEE IT???
very very late addition, but i also want to make it clear that in no way am I saying it is your responsibility to educate that person if you do not want to. absolutely not!!! the only thing this thread is referring to is resorting immediately to cruelty/unwarranted public shaming
do I in any way want/expect Stede to have another love interest come along on his way to ed? absolutely not. do I want a character that continuously flirts with Stede & Stedeโs incredibly kind back bc heโs oblivious & it makes Ed seeth with jealousy heโs never felt? fucking yes.
guys donโt laugh but as i get older, i panic about not having found anyone to settle down with despite being extremely content on my own, but thinking about Stede & Ed (yes, fictional fuckin characters) finding & falling in love with each other in their 40โs genuinely soothes me?
just thinking about how our flag means death spends 2 and a half episodes showing the bullying and judgement Stede went through as a child/adult because of his specific idiosyncrasies, just for Ed to come in and fall in love with those same idiosyncrasies in like a 15 minute span
taika waititi, I fuckin triple dog dare you to start wearing light eyeliner in your every day lifeโฆ bet you wonโt hahaha, bet you wonโt wear it in any upcoming interviews or red carpet events either hahahah ๐
the way Taika Waititi revived and brought life back into the dying Thor film series just for half the fanbase to turn around and spit in his face is really fuckin something, Iโll say that much
and in season 2 when stede and ed are in the middle of a captainโs spat - practically nose to nose, chests heaving in anger - and we see edโs eyes flicker down to stedeโs lips before slowly looking up again for the first time, what then??
i will never forgive them for having Stede sleep on the left side of the bed away from the window, and then having Ed cry on the right side of the bed next to the window
hahahah do you guys remember when Ed & Stede were arrested by the English & thrown on the deck side by side with their hands tied behind their backs so they couldnโt touch each other but Ed needed to so badly he caressed Stedeโs foot with his & Stede dID IT BACK hahaha i am fine
okay itโs a technically funny moment but Oluwande telling Swede about how much he misses Jim and him not caring only for Buttons to have (incorrectly) overheard him and come over to give honest condolences and check on him is ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ๐ฅบ
be honest do you guys think if izzy had told stede who his boss really was, & stede freaked & was like โomg yes, canโt wait to meet him,โ ed would still have been into him? i say yes absolutely bc stede wouldโve showed up dressed to the nines & put on like a flash mob or somethin
the way edโs face collapses a moment after lucius says, โwhat if life just begins again,โ bc he cannot picture a new life for himself in which stede isnโt beside him; collapses bc the last time he was planning a new life, he was on the beach with stede planning it wอiอtอh him.
Stede saying, โI justโฆ I thought that when I did marry, it could be for love..โ in episode 4 will forever be foreshadowing for the Ed and Stede season 3 wedding that is already set in stone and definitely happening and you will never change my goddamn mind
just thinking about season 1 opening with the crew being fed up with Stede and his gentle approach to piracy while heavily contemplating mutiny compared to season 2 where the crew proudly accepts the title of โsoftโ and continuously follows Stede around like a bunch of ducklings
guys are u gonna make fun of me if I admit I just got actual fuckin goosebumps thinkin about when Ed cut Stede off mid sentence bc he couldnโt wait to kiss him & then Stede kissed him back & they leaned into each other & breathed into the kiss & then Stede made that lil sound
hi, if itโs not clear, iโm an ofmd stan account and this tweet was a plea for fandom pals to just be a bit kinder to each otherโsince itโs spread quite beyond that, iโd like to make it very clear that blatant transphobia, homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. should never be tolerated
the fact that stede is so worried about ed after the kraken he literally breaks the door in (really fuckin loudly) and just walks over to him to look him up and down to make sure heโs physically okay, and Ed just gives him a lil shake of his head, fuuuuuck me runnin ๐ฉ๐ฅบ
literally how could anyone think stede didnโt miss ed so bad it made him wanna die, the fucking way he says his full name so sadly when heโs talking to the orange, and the way he reacts to the men wanting to ask him about Ed and he just canโt talk about him anymore except to say
love that ed made it clear that a fuckeryโs purpose is to frighten a crew & make it easy to do pirate shit, like raid them & what not, and Stede hears that and goes โok Ed but what if instead we brought them to OUR ship, stole nothing, AND gave them a performance of a lifetime?โ
every single time ed thinks of himself causing stede any sort of pain or disappointment he looks fucking devastated and devastatingly beautiful simultaneously. itโs actually hard to look at. ๐ค๐
listen, I am still furious with Stede for showing up at Maryโs showing absolutely pissed, but it also broke my heart because Stede is a man of decorum, we never once saw him drunk on the revenge; heโs just completely lost without Ed and his crew, itโs so fucking sad.
just got really fucking sad thinking about how much time ed had to himself as he rowed back to the revenge. how many times did he call himself an idiot for thinking he could have stede? how many times did he tear up as his mind replayed their kiss over and over? fuck man :(
i can also try to put this out there so my words arenโt misconstrued, but it seems itโs unfortunately just part of the social media experience, and thereโs not much I can do about that. im gonna mute this, but i hope yโall had a great goddamn day & I hope tomorrow is even kinder.
in season 2 Iโd like to see Stede lose control and punch the shit out of someone for disrespecting Ed so we can watch Ed go from shock to giving Stede bedroom eyes from across the deck for an entire episode - just hear me out, David, damn ๐ฅด
guys what the fUCK, the way ed literally looks stedeโs body up and down and then has to blink to make himself refocus and look back at his face??? lmaooo, down bad from day one. ๐ฉ๐
nothing delights me more than Ed having the most illustrious pirate career known to man and still being bored out of his mind just to meet Stede, fall in love while oftentimes doing the most mundane shit together, and saying it is the most fun heโs ever had in his life.
i feel very grateful to be experiencing ofmd as it comes, if that makes sense? like i know itโs torture waiting for future seasons, but i am absolutely delighting in the fact that iโm going to get to experience ofmd stretched out over several years instead of as a weekend binge
no one will ever be able to introduce a character like this ever again, this was a once in a lifetime experience. all that being said, heโs so fuckin hot???
Ed and Stede exchanged rings the first day they met each other and we still forced ourselves to consider them just bros bc weโd been so traumatized by queerbaiting, ooooo boy how about that
act of grace is so painful bc itโs just ed and stede in a constant battle desperately trying to save the other. ed tries to take the blame for nigel, stede immediately fabricates a story of how he killed him to save ed. ed signs his name away to save stede from execution, giving+
will never get over stede seeing ed pout once and immediately becoming homicidal lmaoooo.. and the way stede looks at ed absolutely delighted by his reaction to seeing his racist ass bullies tear each other apart? knowing he made it happen for him? theyโre in love, your honor ๐ฅน
stede and ed coming together at sunset and ed left sitting alone at the dock at sunrise. an end and a new beginning. this fuckin show man, when does it stop hurting ๐ฅด
i think my obsession with the way that Ed looks at Stede in these clips is that to me it doesnโt just scream โiโd very much like you to run me through this fuckin second,โ it also screams, โfuck, i am very much falling dangerously in love with you and iโm MAD about itโ
i think I fully fell in love with Stede the moment he chimed in to his familyโs conversation over dinner to gently murmur, โI like Arthur. He has kind eyes.โ The way he says it with so much sincerity and softness, it almost hurts. ๐ฅบ
nothing hurt more than watching the relief wash over Ed once he knew heโd finally pushed the crew to their breaking pointโ once heโd finally made them see him as the unlovable monster he believes himself to be, if only so his misery could finally come to an end
#ofmds2spoilers
the way Ed has every inch of his body turned to face Stede bc heโs the only one Ed wants to talk to. Ed unconsciously creating a physical barrier- turning his back to the crew, removing their access to them- so they might be able to live in their own lil corner together a while..
i too would like to pull a stede bonnet and disappear overnight with barely a word leaving behind everything I know and love for a chance to feel alive ๐ค๐ป
weโve talked about stede getting to tell his side of what happened to him but what about Ed looking up at Stede & quietly saying, โI waited for hours, you knowโฆ Waited so long, I watched the sun come up and thought about you every second. And you justโฆ didnโt show.โ
just picturing drunk Stede trying to guess Edโs crush:
โokay okay so theyโre a cute older blondeโฆโ
โyup.โ
โand they have legs for days-โ
โ-thatโs puttin it lightly but yeahโ
โthey know all the latest fashion trends and lookโฆgreat in teal?โ
โgoddamn right they do-โ
fuck, iโll never get over Stede being the one to continue the kiss. Stede being the one to take over and encourage Ed, mirroring Edโs movement when Ed shifts to move closer so their lips wonโt separate for a single second ๐ฅบ
watching actors with my body type get to play the love interest and the tough but lovable/soft character without their shape ever being discussed, made fun of, or depicted as a major source of stress/self-doubt for them?
that shit is fuckin beautiful, man.
i know we love to call stede a busted jar of mayo or an unseasoned raw chicken breast or what the fuck ever when heโs bleeding out on the deck, and normally iโd agree with you, but then i see this photo and honestly Edโฆ yeah, i get it
thinking about the first time stede makes edโs tea for him post reunion- ed takes his first sip and goes quiet for a moment, and stede is terrified thinking heโs messed it up and edโs too polite to say so. โEverything alright, Ed? Is the tea too bitter, too sweet? I swear, I made
yโall ever sit and think about the fact that Ed still has no idea that Stede loves him back? that Stede is just as broken-hearted to be away from him as he is? that heโs been serving tables and sleeping in cellars and working in towels just for the chance to tell Ed he loves him?
i will never forgive izzy for this. the way he stripped edโs already crumbling worth, went straight to the healing wound & clawed it back open again, just to please himself. to maim him enough that the only way for him to plug it closed was to try to turn it all off completely.
we donโt talk about the way Stede looks at Maryโs paintings after he returns enoughโ heโs just so fucking proud and in complete awe of her, and so changed by his time away with Ed and the crew, he can actually *see* the value in her hard work like he never could before.
sorry, just thinking about the chain/foot touch scene today and how no man will ever be able to make something as iconic as this againโhere you go so you can have a reminder of that too ๐
god i know i talk about this scene way too much but โour prayerโ coming in right after Ed very seductively & quietly says, โoh yeah, iโve heard of you. iโve heard all about you.โ and beginning when Stede smiles lovingly up at Ed is so fucking GOOD, the music blows my mind ooof
also I swear the alt text is never meant to be rude or mocking or anything, I just actually type what I see and add a lil spice so we can picture it together in a fun way, just to note that!! ๐
the way Edโs hand started immediately rattling against the table like a plea, like Ed was subconsciously begging Stede to hold him, begging him to touch him and help pull him from the depths of his own self hatredโ i am so fucking unwell
