been trying to wrap my head around the cancellation of "Our Flag Means Death" and why it hurts so fucking much. lots of folks who are much more eloquent than I have summed it up perfectly, but I still think it’s important I add my voice to the matter. 
It really, really sucks that the hurt is being compounded on us every time another queer/minority-led show gets prematurely cancelled. and for a long while, we also had to deal with the many shows that deliberately queerbaited us, which was a shitty and traumatic experience unto its own. And even though we’ve largely surpassed that early-‘00s-flavoured brand of queerbait now, mainstream queer media is still predominantly white-led. With the cancellation of OFMD, we've lost one of the very few intersectional queer shows in the mainstream. Shouldn’t we be beyond asking for crumbs at this point? Shouldn’t we get unabashedly intersectional shows helmed by and starring queer, BIPOC, and trans folks without them being axed for no rhyme or reason?
It’s exhausting at this point, honestly. OFMD has done so well in terms of viewership and engagement and fan response—almost entirely due to word of mouth and little thanks to the Max marketing team, mind you—and even still the show got cancelled? Can they make it make sense????
For me, the thing most akin to this OFMD situation was when Sense8 got cancelled. And yes, the fandom fought, and we eventually DID get a movie that wrapped things up years later! That gives me hope for OFMD, that maybe another network will pick it up, or maybe they’ll be able to make a movie someday. But what makes me sad about cases like Sense8 is knowing that the creators still had to force the narrative around the amount of time they were given. That the corporate overlords who only care about numbers and profit dictated how much time they had to wrap up their story.
And it fucking kills me that DJ only wanted one more season. One more season to complete the vision.
I'm just so mad that queer people are constantly being jerked around and used for profit and then left high and dry. And then we're given excuses like "oh there's no budget" or "oh there's not enough viewership, that's all it is". like, sure, maybe those are contributing factors, but then I look at all the useless garbage shows that have little viewership and high budgets that keep going forever and then I think "hmmmm, the math ain't mathing." It's fucking transparent; the corporations can spew all they want with their rainbow capitalism and talks about diversity, but the evidence is clear, and they can't convince me homophobia/racism/transphobia/etc. is not a factor in these decisions.
Anyways, back to OFMD. OFMD made me fall in love with fandom again. I drifted away from fandom for a while in my 20s, and while OFMD wasn't the first fandom that drew me back into the madness, it's certainly the largest. The sheer amount of creativity both within the show and outside of it has blown me away; I've read some of the best fics, seen some of the best art, and witnessed some of the most incredible creativity from people in this fandom.
And let's not forget the role of the show's creators and how they've interacted with us fans. They made us feel seen. And made us feel loved and valid, even when we were being weird and loud and horny. It's so fucking rare to see that. But they understood; understood that the show they made was for us, for any of us who've been marginalized or made to feel Othered or different or stuck in life or unsure of our identities. And they gave us so much love for it.
The story... man. The unique combination of quirky humour and bright visuals and dark, introspective moments, the gorgeous costumes and soft, lovely, unabashed queerness, and veteran actors and new actors all getting to shine, brilliant comedic actors getting to show off their dramatic chops and vice versa. For me, seeing Rhys Darby - an actor I've loved for a long time, but who I never thought I'd see in a leading role - getting to be the romantic lead in a queer role? And seeing acclaimed director/producer/screenwriter/actor Taika Waititi play opposite Rhys, as an indigenous Blackbeard? Fucking incredible. OFMD Edward Teach you will always be famous to me.
Anyways... despite my long ramblings here, I still don’t think I've been able to get to the root of WHY exactly this show has inched its way under my skin and stayed with me in the way it has. Maybe I'll spend years trying to understand it. But I DO know that it's in part to do with seeing both older queers AND a diverse range of queerness onscreen, in a way that I've never seen in media before. I DO know that OFMD has forced me to look inwardly, and allowed me to realize some important things about myself. About my own queerness, my own identity, things I'm still figuring out. I've cherished being able to see myself in Stede, in Ed, and each of the crew members. In Roach’s love for cooking, in Oluwande’s ability to mediate; in Jim’s quick temper, in the way Izzy builds walls to guard his heart. In Buttons’ quirkiness, in Wee John’s sass, in Frenchie’s ability to turn pain into humour; in The Swede’s silliness, in Lucius’ bluntness, in Pete’s soft heart beneath the skepticism. Lastly, OFMD has inspired me. To create, to write, to draw, to devour other peoples' works and worlds while I sit in sheer, overflowing joyousness at their talent.
so yeah. the news of this cancellation is upsetting and hurtful and disappointing. And it's making us cry, and it's making us grieve, and may make us hollow and numb at times because we've lost yet another thing we love so deeply before it was meant to go. It's so much more than "just a TV show". It means more to us than any passive mindless idiotic mind-numbing bullshit - because even though there's a time and a place and a purpose for that type of media, it's the thought-provoking work, the work that creators pour their entire hearts and souls into, that hit us deep in our own souls. The work that changes our lives. The work that has the ability to save lives, as I know OFMD has done for so many. 
please know I'm sending immense amounts of love and strength to those of you who are also hurting. we'll get through this, one way or another, and I'll keep up with the hope that we'll get more someday; but in the meantime, I'm holding you tight. ❤️️🫂

no honestly did jean genuinely not realize that the car in the ocean was a suicide attempt?? did he really think harry was THAT drunk or was he willingly misinterpreting it so he could shift any sympathy away from harry? because i can absolutely see jean seeing it as a suicide attempt but deliberately choosing to frame it as an irresponsible accident resulting from harry's alcoholism, because that way no one will be like "oh shit harry tried to kill himself?" and they'd instead join jean in condemning harry for his addiction

how would the rise or mutant mayhem twortlezzz react to have a short gremlin friend? Like would reader is short (maybe mikey's height or a bit taller) and she is a bit chaotic. Very blunt and slightly aggressive and at first seems kinda harsh but actually is very sweet once you get to know them. Also mood swings (me fr fr)
HELLO MY LITTLE SIBLING 😁😁😁I AM VERY EXCITED TO BE YOUR FIRST REQUEST AND I HOPE YOU HAVE FUN WRITING THIS!!! YOU ARE SUPER RAD BRO-BRO KEEPING BEING AWESOME 😎
HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL SIS I COULDN’T WAIT TO START WRITING THIS TYSM FOR REQUESTING!! I hope this is good, uhm, as you know it’s my first time writing so I rlly rlly hope this turns out well!! Also I don’t know enough about the mutant mayhem turtles so i don’t know if i will be writing for them atm but…ENJOY!! <333
rise! Raph-a-doodle
Okay, we already know mans is big, he could pick you up and throw you either way, he wont.
If you’re shorter than Mikey i think he might notice but i feel like he would be indifferent
He will definitely hype you up short or not :))
As for big man here, he’s gonna pick you up like a mf ragdoll Lol I thought I was funny there
Lord forbid someone ever tease you for your height >:( ”Say it again and I’ll pound you like a boss!” why did i write that
But in a way more scary tone
Your friendship is obviously like the short gremlin and the friendly giant, why would I need to explain? your short and he’s tall incase you didn’t know
Cuddles are a must if you're okay with it (platonic cuddles are a thing)
Just lay on his plastron or disappear under his arm lol
As for the chaos, he probably wouldn’t mind it as long as you're being safe
He would probably join in most of the time but he has oldest sibling syndrome :((
He does his best to keep you from danger please don’t make it too hard for him
Most times I do see him joining in on the chaos if it’s just around the lair
If it’s on patrol don’t expect him to be so careless though he is impulsive at times Raphie worries
As for your aggressiveness, I see him as the type of person to just chill and wait for you to come back when you’re doing your thing like: 🧍‍♀️
Big man is lowkey terrified of you despite the fact he’d be towering over you
I’m not gonna lie, you being kinda harsh at first would kinda put him off
He might shy away from you at first and it’s not you, it’s the demon in your mind telling you what to do 👹 it’s u
Once you warm up to everybody and you properly hang out with him he’ll be a lot more open to being around you
He’ll realize what a cutie you are (platonically) and he won’t fear you as much -if you’re loud he assumes your tough shit like that, i don’t make the rules here
He’ll be confused when he experiences your mood swings and depending on how severe they are he might panic -One second you’re: 💕🤗Then you’re: 🤬🖕
He'll be like 'uhm wtf'
But it’s okay because you’re his best friend and he loves you either way!!
rise! Neon-Leon
He’s not gonna pass up an opportunity to tease you
It's Leo dude
He's using you as an armrest and he's smug about it motherfucker
When he's not teasing you, y'all are chill
Another one to just pick you up because he can
His bitchass love him thinks it's funny when you get mad cuz ur tiny
Should ANYBODY that's not him make fun of your height just remember he has magic swords that make portals
He's going to match your chaotic energy because he's Leonardo
Y’all are gonna get in trouble a lot but he has magic swords and you’re probably awesome too so it’s okay
He'll be an asshole sometimes but you can put him in his place
He’s not gonna shy away from your aggressiveness or your blunt self but he’ll give you some space if he thinks you need it -or anger you even more
He’ll be just a bit taken aback at first from your bluntness but he bounces back quickly with his own retort -what you said wasn't even offensive, he just found the need to defend himself??
He probably provokes you and calls you 'lil gremlin in his own Leo way or sum shit
Despite his ignorant self I feel like Leo is understanding but he chooses to be a little shit about it
He will lowkey give you time to mellow out and then he gets to meet your sweet side -you might've warmed up to him after Mikey
He finds the fact that you speak your mind amusing so he doesn't get offended too easily most times -*dramatic gasp* “wHaT?! DiD?! YoU?! *points aggressively at you* JusT?! sAy! tO! mE?!”
He is going to be your bestie or your worst nightmare and it just depends on the stage of your friendship -jk he’s your friend and if he truly bothers you he would stop
Overall, you guys are just two dumbasses trying to have fun
rise! Othello Von Ryan
Doesn’t really care about how tall or short you are, but does notice your a bit lacking in the height region js a bit pooks
Probably makes you a piece of tech to help with your uhm… lack dare i say i say this as if i'm taller than 5'3"
He might have u run errands for him that might require more stealth getting illegal chemicals for him
He once mistook the top of your head as a table when he was tired not his proudest moment
You’re gonna make a good arm rest for him
Anybody makes fun of your height? There’s a virus in their device and embarrassing photos were somehow sent to that person’s entire contact list -he denies it was ever him but you know better
Your chaoticness worries him his tech's safety, not yours cuh
Probably puts you on a mf leash if you're the impulsive type
He’ll be in his lab and your lil’ gremlin self will just be there yapping away about literally anything and Donnie’s like ‘😐okay’ trying to work with your sudden outbursts where you raise your voice before going back to your normal tone he probably flinches every time you raised your voice
Appreciates you being blunt in a way, he knows if you give him a compliment, you mean it and that means way more than he chooses to admit to himself be careful he's lowkey fragile
Like Raph, he also might be put off with your harshness in the beginning but once you warm up to him, he’ll warm up to you
He’ll see how sweet you become and is ‘unbothered because he’s emotionally unavailable’
He’ll be yapping about his latest project and you’re about to go do something you probably shouldn’t
He doesn’t notice ‘til he stops and asks you a question and you’re sneaking away like: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/S9VDyPlNiz8?feature=share silly motherfucker
Can't keep up with your mood swings all the time so he'll just let you sort it out
He'll probably wait patiently
On the contrary to how he may act towards you, he really does like you
Overall you and Donnie's friendship is fun and he definitely instigates the chaos outside his lab
rise! Magic Mike
We alr know mans is a short king, he’s going to be excited to find somebody ‘round his height
The amount of small places you two will wedge yourself in oml
You two probably created a hangout spot just for the two of you you two were the only ones able to fit
Nobody's making fun of your height
Have you seen this kid?
You two just add onto each other and get into a lot of trouble
A lotta episodes js u an him getting in trouble LMFAO
If you’re taller than him you probably call him small one or sum shit you're not that much taller than him
He only allows it from you
If you're shorter than him roles are reversed
If you’re the same height, you actually aren’t, one of you has to be taller he probably won't accept defeat so goodluck shortie
He bakes and cooks with you
If you can't kitchen for shit you're now the taste tester and you're in charge of helping him reach things on high shelves
Yes you two will use each other to reach things
stand on his shoulders like in the cartoons or he'll stand on yours "Ow! Mikey! My shoulder's about to break!" "One second y/n I almost got it!"
Mikey’s not put off in the slightest by your aggressiveness in the beginning
He probably figured you out and let you open up at your pace
You being blunt honestly makes him laugh, the way you just say what you want
He's your bestie and your his fs fs
He doesn't mind your mood swings and js goes with the flow
I strongly believe he'll just match his mood with yours "omg! i love today!" "same!" 😀  "FUCK THAT!" "same!" 😡
He adores your sweet side and he'll show it
Is another cuddle bug (if you're okay with it)
Your friendship is very wholesome as it is chaotic
You could be doing something dangerous around town while having a meaningful and deep conversation
Overall, you guys match each other's energies and hold a lot of power together don't underestimate short people

Nico thought he saw another shark…
I like to imagine that later on when Nico gets scared and Callum’s around he’d just wrap himself around his finger for protection. Awww the fluff I could write with this. (Totally not gonna write this later :D)
I kind of hate how this came out, but I love it at the same time? Idek. I’m just having fun with drawing these two! I would love if you guys want me to draw something of them too! Don’t be afraid to ask!
Close up under the cut! :D

Hello smooches, its 🥝 anon. I'm sorry for not popping up on ur inbox for a very long time again (health issues, again.) i hope that you are doing well! I see so many Dotty's rambling when i scroll down a bit and honestly i can't wait to read all of it 🙏🛐 (and also hoping to see just a bit of Capitano content from u-)
So.. Remember when i said last time that i have a brainrot about Capitano's Childhood Crush with fragile!reader? In ur Capitano Childhood Crush fic, reader always sends a lot of letters to him but he never recieved them, right? (It was disheartening, just like what u said on the fic..) And, Well..
Imagine that all of the letters are about reader telling him about their conditions, their illness getting worse and worse, until the last one about reader wanting to see him again for last time..
When Capitano wanted to see them again, he sends some of his Fatui agents to search for reader whereabouts (since it would be too dangerous for reader's safety if he is the one who come to them, also he never see them among the crowds for a very long time whenever he and his troops came back, reader always come to see him..).
Now, imagine his reaction when his agents told him that reader is already dead a long time ago or when he finally found all of reader's letters 😔
I'm trying to make my ask not too long, æügh 😩😭 i'm sorry if its messy- 😭 anyways, sending virtual hugs for u smooches for still feeding us Harbinger content for more than a year now 🤗💞🛐 as always, bless u and ur big brain writings
-a rotten 🥝 anon
(Also recently, i saw an "early" story leak about the next region on twt that we will have Dottore boss fight in Natlan instead of Capitano. Idk if its true or not, but if its true.. then, i guess you guys Dottore lovers better prepare for him now 👀 i want to see some C6R5 Dotty mains here)
HI 🥝 ANON!! I MISSED YOU! And don't worry about popping in! I want you to take care of yourself first above all! I hope you enjoy the plentiful Dottore brainrots though :3 (and i promise to post some Capitano brainrots. Just for you.) BUT AHHH THIS BRAINROT... WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME SAD. (Yes, I remember when I put that in my fic! I can't believe it was so long ago though- you made me go back and reread it 😭)
Imagine if you live in a secluded part of Snezhnaya. It's quiet and pretty with only the servants in the house to keep you company. Capitano let you stay here instead of the mansion because staying in that big house without him would probably make you sadder. Though you are already sad without him, it's a bit better. But you spend a lot of time writing him letters. It was a habit of yours, telling him what you've done all this time even though he's not here. Some letters get sent, some don't. But you always put the happier stuff in the letters that get sent to him. He's out doing a lot of hard work, you don't want to bother him with your illness! Though anyone could see the lingering sadness in your letters. However, the battlefield is a tough place and the long distance doesn't help your case. Things are bound to get lost and go missing. So you're left waiting, and waiting, and waiting for your husband's replies that never come... Eventually, you stop sending them, instead keeping them in a box.
Although Capitano is busy with his mission, he wonders why you haven't reached out to him. Amidst the war and battle, he does look forward to your sweet letters, perhaps your handwriting may not be the best, but he loves to see how his darling is doing. He of course focuses on his duties, but he always thinks of you. So it wouldn't hurt to send an agent to report on you, since clearly communication isn't the best right now. When the soldier arrives and hears of your demise, he isn't sure how to break the news to his Harbinger. All he can do is hope that the letter makes it to him after the battle is over, so morale isn't too down. And it does. The Fatui win this battle, and the letter comes just in time. Ah, finally he can see how you're doing, Capitano thinks. But when he reads the first sentence, he's... well, I can't explain his emotions very well. Empty would be a good word. Why? Why didn't he know? Couldn't something have been done? You were find before he left, how did your condition worsen that quickly?
He won't know, because he won't ever hear your voice again.
AND YEAHHH i saw that leak too but. To be honest i don't really believe it, a bunch of story leaks have turned out to be trolls so tbh i don't really pay attention to them anymore, especially when they're so far into the future 😅 But my c6r1 Arlie savings are going strong right now! (400 wishes >:)

What do you think Roxanne would do if she had Baby Cassie, would she take her everywhere she went or would she leave her with the dca?
I imagine bc of her personality Roxy definitely works with the older kids (at least ones tall enough to race)
Tumblr media
She still loves Cassie though

i might have to delete my account
so recently there's been tensions between myself and @amorisbackandbetterthanever
i'm not tagging her so you won't send her hate- i'm not like that (this is a joke btw)
i think sometimes people get annoyed when you try to express your deepest love and feelings towards them
i personally go out of my way to stalk this bitch amazing soul on tumblr to let her know she's found- how do i get repaid for this selfless act?
well some people
( @amorisbackandbetterthanever )
find it necessary to go to extreme measures and block me!!
if you vote no, your giving all your human rights to @amorisbackandbetterthanever
doing this will give her control of what time you go to the bathroom, inhale, exhale, eat, drink, sleep, shower, and even if you paint your pinky toe nail. you don't want that. i'm telling you.
if you vote yes, you'll find i will not bother you anymore, your rights are protected, and my account stays!! yayyy (i won't actually delete my account) voting yes also shows that you care about your self worth, you want those rights, you want people like @amorisbackandbetterthanever to understand what actual love is.
after all, this only happens when someone ( @amorisbackandbetterthanever ) doesn't understand what love for your friends are.
@amorisbackandbetterthanever we are on your side, in the endgame, we're only looking out for your best interest.
if no wins over, i'll have to delete my account, my life savings, and i will run and never come back! you don't know what could happen to me in the wilderness, do i even know how to tie my own shoelaces? i'm not confident.
we can express our love for @amorisbackandbetterthanever is other ways than taking away your rights.
hell, we can all start stalking her on tumblr and letting her know she's found! 🥰
remember, i'm only on your side and trying to help.
this is Fizzy, out.
