I want Izzy Hands to be forced into the found family and feel so bad about it. Everyone forgives him. He's done nothing to deserve it. He DOESN'T deserve it. But he's forgiven. He threatens them and instead of getting snippy they just go "classic Izzy Hands we love him he's like a Chihuahua" and they gently tease him like they do everyone else and they compliment him during raids and they try to get him involved in storytime and mealtime and he realizes that they like him?? somehow??? he's been a dick why do they like him? and he just has to. cope. and learn how to not be a dick.
Bonus points if he goes up to someone on the crew (Olu? Frenchie? Lucius? Maybe even Stede or Ed?) and asks "why the fuck are you all being so nice to me?" and the only response he gets is a "why not?"

Ok no but like this is so important
because like, what if Stede Theatre Gay Bonnet gets the idea into his head that there should be some form of entertainment for the guests at the inn. Ed knows how to tap out a tune on a keyed instrument, so he gets a piano in, and then has the even more genius idea of reciting some of his poems to the guests, but to be honest he hasn't read them over since he wrote them and tucked them under Ed's breakfast plate like cheeky love notes passed under desks in school (or so he'd read about in books) so by the time a trio of merchants find themselves sitting by the bar, ales in hand, ready for an evening of pleasant chamber music, Stede's forgotten just how, shall we say, gingery some of his poetry was:
My dearest love is fairer than the sea, and in whose chestnut eyes I oft get lost. To rest against his bosom, there I'd be, just after we had sucked, and fucked, and tossed.
To sup upon the firmness of his root, and in his treasured hole I'd sheathe my -
And the merchants take one star off their Trippe Advysore review because the co-inkeepers ran out of the bar just as the poetry reading was getting interesting.

If I was in charge of ofmd season 2 would be an anthology exploring all the different Izzy ships. Episode one has Frenchie finding out that Izzy is secretly as musical as he is (and then they fall in love). Episode two has Roach taking care of Izzy's foot (and then they fall in love). Episode three has Calico Jack returning from the dead to find Izzy (and then they fall in love). The season finale is a crossover where all the timelines merge together and Izzy winds up in more loving relationships than he can count, as he deserves.

i made those after my last rewatch in may, posting them here before the season drops so i'm not tempted to add anything new (i still might fill out a third one because i'm very normal about this show)
can't believe some of them already came true, based on the promo's
if anyone wants to make one the template is from kinosfroggy!
i'm so excited for this season, ten days to go 💜

Series finale of OFMD.
Stede shoots up in bed, wide eyed, panting.
Checks the time on his phone (3am).
He looks over at the mop of salt and pepper curls snoring softy next to him.
Stede starts violently shaking his shoulder.
“Ed, honey, wake up, I just had the strangest dream”

== Articles ==
Our Friends at Tv Insider wrote a very awesome quote regarding the cancellation of OFMD while talking about Rhys Darby and his appearance in the new Night Court series.
"Night Court marks Darby’s first TV appearance since Our Flag Means Death ended in October 2023 and was criminally canceled in January. While we’re still grieving that loss, it’s great to see Darby in another romantic and comedic role so soon." https://www.tvinsider.com/1126692/night-court-rhys-darby-dave-foley-duke/

== Love Notes ==
Hey lovelies. I hope you had a reasonably good day. I was a bit out of sorts and if I was weird to anyone I'm really sorry, wasn't anything directed at you. Reminded me very much how we need to be able to forgive ourselves, and even though we can preach one way, actually doing it can be really difficult sometimes, especially in the moment. I'm pretty worn out tonight, so I'll leave you with @thelatestkate's wise words, please always keep on keepin' on. The world wouldn't be the same without you. Love you crew.

Hi, other anon! First ranty anon here. Thanks for adding the bit about Rhys and Taika! In my head I included them in the cast and crew who helped shape their characters but actually didn't put that in the rant... 😅 And I gotta rant again, sorry! Please yell at me if I'm annoying. I just gotta rant at somebody.
But of course canyon op downplays their contributions! They're straight, they don't count! Only Con does since he's the only queer one in the "main three" cast! Besides who cares about how wonderfully adorable and romantic their little ad-libs made Ed and Stede! Nobody cares about Ed and Stede!
/sarcasm
Never mind the (admittedly slim) possibility that either Taika or Rhys or both could be queer and just publicly identify as straight. I don't know or care if they are or aren't, that's their business. But downplaying their contributions to the show just because they identify as straight is not the best look. Same with trying to villify Jenkins for his original plan (which still doesn't matter because he scrapped it) just because he's cishet.
"Jenkins never meant for this show to be so kind to queers!" they say as if Jenkins had nothing to do with the casting of so many queer actors and the hiring of the astoundingly diverse writers' room. He asked for queer writers and actors to help him shape this! Why does canyon op try to paint it as queer actors subverting a straight showrunner to make something awesome when he asked them willingly to contribute? Is it not better that this cishet man went to members of the community to help him make his show a wonderful celebration of all types of queerness because he recognized his limitations? Do they not realize just how rare it is to have that? Do we not want more awesome queer media that treats the community with love and respect, no matter who makes it? Why try to paint one of the few truly good things we have like it's just barely dodged being yet another lame "queerbait" when it's anything but?
(sorry again but I just saw their additions and justifications and like...did you not read your own tags, canyon op? you are trying to turn people against Jenkins with your post and you are twisting his words to turn him into a villain and downplay his involvement and make the show entirely the result of the cast dodging around him and...I'll stop now. sorry! 😆)
I think the original poster blocked me, which I'm more than fine with, but I still do find it quite funny that I literally didn't realize they were going for a "David Jenkins bad!!" narrative.
It's hard to say who shapes what in a show like this; again, it seems pretty indicative that Jenkins is collaborating with others and not simply forcing through everything himself. The whole point of allyship is for those in positions of privilege and power to use that to hold the door open for others who aren't. (I know there are lots of people who take issue with Taika, for different reasons that are perfectly legitimate, but he has undoubtedly held the door open for others, and it seems that Jenkins has too.) So to criticize Jenkins for making a poor choice and then deciding he could make a better choice, and that turning into what we see on OFMD, seems not at all about allyship or queer rep, but about personal animosity.
Same goes for Taika and Rhys. Again, plenty of actors can and would categorically refuse to do the queer romance. Others would be entirely uncomfortable with it and try to brush it off. I know nothing about these men personally, but every interview has them talking about how proud they were and are about what they've been able to do. (It's also, TBH, unusual to see two straight male actors being so openly loving about each other, which I think is nice to see.)
What struck me and so many others about the first season is that...they actually did that. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop and it didn't. They're gay. It's a romance. There are bisexuals and trans/nonbinary people and asexuals and polyamorous people. The cast is hugely diverse. One of the leads is a biracial indigenous man and the other is the whitest man on the planet and they're shown falling in love (look at media history sometime and let me know how common THAT is). The big villains are toxic masculinity and colonialism. Classists get burned alive. Racists get their hands stabbed.
It is very much not a perfect show, and there are things it could do better, but what it does is fucking remarkable. You will not find someone more leery of white male artists than me, and it is always possible to be disappointed by a direction a show takes, even when its first two seasons are so good. But we should embrace it when art is done right and this show, so far, is done right.
I sure as fuck will not let a teeny group of dingbats mad that it doesn't conform to the story in their heads ruin that.

I heard your special interest is “the gay pirate show” and I am DYING to know more can you please infodump
*vibrating at the speed of sound* yeah I like this show a normal amount
But okokokokook thank you for giving me permission to talk about
Our Flag Means Death
So let's start like, in the beginning so you get context:
It's a romcom
That's very loosely based on a real life pirate
Named Stede Bonnet, an aristocrat who left his fancy life and family to become a pirate
He was different than the other pirates, wanting to be called The Gentleman Pirate and did things like pay his crew a salary
He also supposedly was the guy who invented walking the plank
That's just a little fun fact :)
His career only lasted barely over a year
But the most well known thing about him and his piracy is his stint with Blackbeard
Yeah that guy
Basically he got gravely injured, Blackbeard swooped in to save the day and he relented his crew to him while he recovered
They sailed together for a little bit until Blackbeard left him and marooned his crew
Stede tried to find him, but they sadly never met each other again
So 200 years later, this guy named David Jenkins who made one funny show that was canceled read the Wikipedia article his wife linked him and said "oh that was gay" and thus
The show was born!!!!
So you got Stede, played by Rhys Darby, the guy who was the background funny man in all your shit like Voltron and the new Jumanji movies
And Blackbeard is played by Taika Waititi, the guy who directed the new Thor movies and appears in all his movies in some way
AND OTHER REAL LIFE PIRATES APPEAR IN THE SHOW TOO, LIKE
Isreal Hands, who is called Izzy Hands, played by Con O'Neill
And Calico Jack, played by Will Arnett in one episode
So the plot of the show iiiiiis.....
Stede is sad
His childhood sucked, his dad sucked and he was put in an arranged marriage with a stranger
He finally decides to take the leap and commission a ship and planned to hire a crew and leave with his fam
But fam said "we are a wife and children Stede plus wife hates the ocean"
So he leaves them, and even though he's happier now, he still feel guilty for leaving in the middle of the night with just a letter about where he went
He tries to do piracy differently!
He encourages his crew to express their feelings in a healthy manner
And they even do arts and crafts at one point
Buuuuut he's a guy who has no idea what the fuck he's doing
And almost dies until Blackbeard swoops in to save the day
Who is actually Edward Teach the fucking adhd king
Who's pretty bored with his life of plundering and not even having to properly fight people anymore cause they just surrender when they see the flag
So he meets this fancy man who shows off his library and fireplace on a wooden vessel and a secret closet full of clothes
And is like "sign me the fuck up"
So yeah, that's the show's plot.
But if you might've saw in the very beginning, I said this is a romcom
It's a romcom
Between the leads
Thus: Gay Pirate Show
So but like, to give more context on how revolutionary this show is
It's not just between the leads:
There are two other queer romances in the show that get emotional depth and importance
And they said in interviews that all the crewmates are supposed to be queer!!!
So my fucking ship, my fucking babies, are interracial middle-aged guys who have a slow burn romance
And the other pairs are
1. two guys
(one initially portraying himself as a manly man pirate, the other a flamboyant guy who becomes a great therapist and friend to the main leads)
And 2. A fat black man and a Hispanic nonbinary assassin
No I'm not fucking kidding, they show this pirate who seems to have "plot twist! This dude is actually disguised as a lady!" But instead it's "plot twist! Their gender is knives!"
So the show is not just gay as an afterthought:
It's baked into the show's core
Yet it's not a source of angst and is shown to be liberating
They literally named one of the episodes This Is Happening to tell you This Is Happening Between The Leads
So yeah, this show is FUCKING AMAZING, especially after
So much queerbaiting
And all the romantic moments are made
To be romantic, not just in a "haha bros acting gay!!!"
Even the creator of the show admitted he didn't know what queerbaiting was when he made it
He just hired a diverse writing staff and made the show cause he wanted to make it and saw it as gay
So obviously this is fantastic, and definitely enough to get people to watch it if you wanna watch it at this point.
But it is very important for me to add this ain't the only thing great about this show.
So let me give some honorable mentions on how this show is the best thing ever and deserved all the Emmy awards screw the Emmys:
It's not just a comedy all the way through - There is some drama and hard-hitting moments that are given seriousness
They don't give a fuck about logic and historical accuracy, Izzy is supposed to be 17 at this point and time and he's played by a 50 year old man
They acknowledge racism and homophobia as a thing in this world
And the racists and homophobes get their comeuppance, usually by bodily injury or death
So. Much. Symbolism. With the clothes and the colors and specific items which makes me go insane cause it shows they took their time with this story
It wouldn't be surprising if it's hard to get into the show initially, but I find it's sort of a cool trick as you think the show is like "oh The Office but with pirates" before it hits you with the gay
Also the shows funny. It's a comedy, so you hope it would be funny, but it is really funny.
The show gives the cast a lot of room to improvise, so if you thought this one moment was really funny, it was probably improvised
A diverse cast in terms of skin colors and body types and accents
Also none of them are marvel studio body types
There's a sick black lady with a wooden hand in a couple of episodes and she's awesome
The leads played by Rhys and Taika are irl friends for over a decade, so the slow burn is believable despite being really fast
There's a funny moment where a guy named Izzy tries to be homophobic but it's just really awkward for him
The show plays with flashbacks brilliantly to show the inner minds of characters, so it's not some sort of afterthought
The women in the show, despite not being a lot of them, are given three-dimensions and shown to be friends
This includes Stede's wife, who gets a POV of her life and you feel sympathetic for her and root for her even
(which is also not afraid to show their lead man be an ass)
Seriously, the main ship has some of the best moments in the entire show
I won't spoil any of it, but when you see them, you will scream
And my personal favorite part...
The portrayal of trauma in the show
It's not a little thing - it's a major driving force for both Stede and Ed
In fact, it's basically the main plot of the show for Stede
And its very realistic how they show characters going through trauma
And its not all portrayed the same way either
This trauma is intrinsically tied to masculinity a lot of the time
And the entire show really is not only about breaking free from your role in society -
- but also about what being A Man is
Which works considering the judgement of gay love in society
... OK I think that's it for now
And if yoooou wanna know more about The Gay Pirate Show
It's on HBO Max
(And plenty of sites like this one here)
And is going to start filming s2 in a couple days!!!!
My blog of course has plenty of posts about the show
But my personal favorite ones are @snake-snack-stede @wearfinethingsalltoowell @knowlesian @vitruvianwatson @the-orange-in-red-silk @batsarebetterthanpeople @biceratops7 @twocarsonenight @prettybard
And plenty of others I'm sure I'm forgetting XD
But if you look at their blogs, you'll find others and go down a rabbit hole of shitposts, metas, art, etc etc etc that deserve lots of love

firm believer Stede doesn't have to win Ed's trust back. Stede shows up and someone gets stabbed and they go to the cabin and Stede explains everything and Ed explains everything and they cry and hug and kiss and Izzy loses his fucking mind because that easy? it was that easy?? he's made Ed angry and had to spend weeks making it up and Stede fucking Bonnet walks in with a beard and suddenly all is forgiven are you JOKING. but now Ed and Stede have to win the trust of the crew back bc Stede didn't just leave Ed he left ALL of them and Ed knows exactly what he did.
I feel like Stede would have an easier time bc he has the stories, he has group therapy, he's generally nice. with a lot of talking and crying and apologizing they'd forgive him. Ed has a uh. much harder time because "I'm fuckin Blackbeard" and apparently Blackbeard doesn't know how to apologize. the first half of the season is him figuring out how to be forgiven. the other half of the season is figuring out what the fuck we do with Izzy. David Jenkins hire me.

Day 11 of Stream Ink is Tea day! In the early 18th century, tea was about 3-4 times more expensive pound for pound than chocolate, so these two fellows are having a very special treat indeed, stirring in seven sugars and enjoying an accompanying marmalade toast, respectively. I’m imagining an aromatic jasmine tea, but that might be because that’s why I’ve been enjoying a lot of lately.

parasocial enemy (joking): stephen king
parasocial enemy (serious): david jenkins
I set up a saw trap for them but it's actually not a saw trap it's just a requirement that before they publish a project they must hire one of many possible editors to choose from and provide a record of their changes, enforced by me hanging over their heads with a blade like if damocles' whole thing was being incredibly passionate about narrative continuity and consistent symbolism.

All i want need from s2 is however their reunited (all the better if its saving Ed’s life) Stede’s shirt gets cut more risque than when he fought izzy and his pants are all but done for too…
Cuz Ed is going to have a very hard (ha!) time being mad at this sexy idiot. All muscles and tan and beard (by law).
And giving Izzy a sex dream about Stede that drives him to madness cuz hes so deeply ashamed.
Oh and if the og crew pick up a puppy on the way and Fang sneaks them on board for a trade that too.
Ya know what David Jenkins/ Alex Sherman u need to hire me already

favourite ofmd fics or arts? — god this fandom is so full of just... the most insanely talented people, but some of my favourite ofmd fics are hiring a mouse management officer (aka the fic where the crew of the revenge get a cat), weather the storm (a REALLY fucking good time loop fic), and perfect pretenders (it’s fake dating? how else can i sell this one to you, i mean COME ON)
biggest wish for season 2? — obviously for stede and ed to eventually talk things through, oh and i think established jim and oluwande would be ADORABLE
favourite quote: stealing vici’s choice of quote here because also my favourite, it’s so fucking funny (especially to me a person in science) “science tells us all the useful organs are on the right part of the body, so i cleverly took the sword on the left” / “is that right? i mean, the--the liver.” / “the liver? we don’t even know what that thing does.”
favourite minor character: frenchie, if he counts as minor, but if he doesn’t, probably spanish jackie
favourite episode: the best revenge is dressing well
has ofmd caused you to re-evaluate your gender: nope
favourite cast/creator quote or interview: that david jenkin’s quote about stede and ed knowing of each other and then meeting and just having chemistry where he goes on to discuss queerbaiting and feeling scene in a story... yeah... yeah that one
do cats have knives in their feet? — oh, absolutely, but i adore them with my entire heart
song that makes you think of stede bonnet: i don’t have a serious answer for this, but i saw an edit someone made of stede to “i have friends” from cxg and it was SO FUNNY, it lives in my head rent free, so that
song that makes you think of ed teach: doomsday by lizzy mcalpine
song that makes you think of izzy hands: .....i’m just a girl in love from crazy ex girlfriend
