when i realized the gender aesthetic i've been going for all my life is "dimitri from don bluth's anastasia" i had to like. lie down. my gender is "1920s russian conman twink"
my favorite trope: characters who usually have problems with killing going absolutely apeshit feral jason bourne mode when someone they love is threatened
Me: So, historical Blackbeard, what do you think about all this fanfiction about you railing and getting railed by Stede Bonnet, and also did that really happen?
Blackbeard: You guys went to the moon?
Me: Yes, but I really need to know--
Blackbeard: The moon in the fucking sky?!
during the chain scene i think the part that gets me the most is stede and ed just beaming at each other because even though they've both been apprehended and may soon die they're just glad they're with each other
Literally before Stede rolls over mumbling feverishly that he's a coward Ed has his arm across him protectively. He's known this piece of raw chicken for ten minutes and he's already decided that Stede is his blorbo from his real life
it's selfish but i want more people to watch ofmd so i can just point at jim and be like "see? you see jim? i'm like them." without having to give a whole queer theory 101 lecture whenever i want people to use my pronouns.
absolutely rancid vibes about what the tumblr kiddies are saying about coladas. i'm gatekeeping this fanfic and this show because if they think stede breaking ed's heart is racist i have some fucking news for them about episodes 9 and 10
saw someone say The Kiss™ was stiff and awkward in a context that implies T and R are homophobic like. Babes. Sweet summer children. The Kiss™ being awkward and sweet WAS THE POINT, you think they're gonna jump down each other's throats?
There was a tweet i saw that was something like "wwdits fans shitting on ofmd fans like calm down that's your fucking brother" and i'm thinking about it for literally no reason right now
rhys was trying so hard and i love him for it. the panel was organized as a complete shitshow and they've known for MONTHS that the strike could extend into NYCC, so what they did feels pretty slapdash. the cast were amazing and did their best but i know they wanted to talk!!
having rewatched season two i have come to the conclusion that due to ed's highs being VERY high and his lows being VERY low he is unmedicated for bipolar disorder and he needs a scrip for mood stabilizers ASAP
sauce: i have bipolar disorder and that trajectory is VERY familiar
my coworker: oh yeah i started our flag means death, it's really funny
me, being incredibly hinged and normal: how far are you
him: episode 7
me: oh you're in for a treat. next episode includes will arnett :)
him: oh sweet i love will arnett

do you th
do you think tha
do you think that izzy would sing quietly for the crew on the breakup boat but not loud enough ed would hear him
always good to remember stede is not a full on uwu marshmallow softboi he's like a sweet candy that is full of ghost pepper sauce because he's a disarmingly bonkers man
rip ed teach you would have hated taking your medication but it doesn't go down properly with the water so your tongue ends up touching the pills and they start to dissolve and it's super bitter and nasty and you have to brush your tongue like five times to get rid of the taste

WHO REMEMBERS SEEING A BOTTLE THROWN OVERBOARD WITH ALL THE BOOKS IN EPISODE 10 BECAUSE IF THAT IS WHAT STEDE IS HOLDING I AM GOING TO EAT DRYWALL
Remember, kids: if you see someone shoplifting food, diapers, or baby formula, no you fucking didn't.
Nobody steals those things just for shits and giggles, and stores account for a certain amount of loss anyway. The real crime is throwing away food, letting it rot.
Now y'all one thing we're NOT gonna do is raise hell at the writers and DJ because they made a narrative choice some of us may dislike immensely, capisce?

i think i am inoculated against Oh No My Fave Died because i have been a sean bean stan since 2001 and i am used to this curse
Character: /dies
Me: Oh no! Anyway, /opens up ms word

i am weirdly serene about the run-up to episode 8. it's all going to work out. i trust the process.
i think s2e6 is my favorite now though
As someone who lost an uncle to Reagan's genocide?
Bite me.
The 80s was not all queer suffering, there was also joy and community. Lesbians sat by the bedsides of dying gay men so they wouldn't die alone. Including the AIDS crisis in a fanfic would have turned me off instantly.
Not to be a bitch on main but if you write a fic about gay men in the 80’s, ignore the AIDS crisis, and include a major plot element of “oh he came onto me I didn’t want that kiss!!” like people didn’t die for less then yeah your story is bad and you should feel bad actually lmao
