(I know I say it a bit too late But !)

The death of Izzy wasn’t a bury your gay. The cancel of the show was.

(psst, tell me if you agree)

what people need to understand about late-stage capitalism is that the people who run it are very, very stupid and very, very greedy and very, very shortsighted and it literally does not matter if:

the product is good

the product is popular

the product is beloved

the product has great profit potential but they’d have to invest effort to realise the profit

does. not. matter.

if you’re looking for logic in late capitalist behaviour, stop. There is none.

OFMD was honestly over for me (and a lot of other fans) with the way season 2 ended. We loved it. We devoted a year and a half of adoration, creativity, energy, etc to it. And the sudden drop into dark drama in season 2, even before the loss of Izzy, made some of us nervous. To reference The Gay Pirate Podcast, they made our singular show that was a safe haven away from Prestige TV™️ into the same thing everyone else was doing. We no longer felt safe to laugh and love and get attached to characters. There was definitely a faction of fans who decided they wouldn’t watch even if a third season did happen, because they felt so betrayed. So for me, and for a lot of others, it was over in October. Hugs to all of you who are mourning the fresher loss, I’m sending you all virtual oranges to stave off scurvy and winter blues. Thank you for creating this beautiful fandom, and letting me be a part of a fandom as it happened live, for once.

Hey, lovely souls. Just here to spread a kind word for anyone who's feeling (understandably) down today🩷

So OFMD has been officially cancelled. Is this the end? Of course not. It will never be.

I mean, even if we'd got S3 there would have been an end to it too. Is it unfair that our awesome cast & producers didn't get to finish what they started in the way they envisioned it? Of course. Is the tv industry absolute shit? Hell yes! So many good shows are cancelled every day, and so many more never even get to exist. We got OFMD for two seasons, a blessing none of us ever expected, that changed our lives in so many ways, that saved so many lives. And if you think about the ending, even though the last episode was rushed and budget was cut and all, we still got such a wonderful, poetic ending, Ed and Stede are together in their inn, love in their eyes, they're safe, they're happy, honestly I couldn't have asked for anything better.

The thing is, things in life are limited (apparently), but the underlying truth to that is that things that truly matter are infinite.

How so? I'll tell you a scientific truth: time does not exist, at least not as we understand it. Because time is just like space, ever-present, every moment in time is actually forever alive. Nothing can ever truly die.

Which leads to another truth: we are infinite, just like the Universe, for we are Universe too. We are stardust and love, and Love is infinite.

We are all one, you and I and everyone out there, we're one same thing. There is no end to something that was created with love. And damn, I've never seen such an outrageous, wonderful outburst of love in my whole life! There is true magic in what we created together, fans, cast, crew, producers... we healed one another, we came together because one day someone just as crazy as us envisioned this absolutely mad world of kindness and inclusion and diversity and sheer joy and against all odds the moment we saw it we jumped on the ship without thinking twice. We made it possible for this show to get a second season, and more than anything, we built this wonderful world around it.

Stories are so much more than imagination, they're not just actors playing a role, there is a point where it stops being just a story and becomes a world on its own, and that world translates into our world, and when that magic happens, when that bridge is created, something so much bigger emerges that forever merges both worlds. It's magic and it's a blessing and I can't but be thankful for it.

My loves, I know you're sad right now. I know we all are struggling for one reason or another, we're all fighting our own battles, be it about physical or mental health, work, study, family, discrimination, or anything else. And OFMD has fought by our side and helped us win so many of those battles already. So when you're in middle of the darkness and can't imagine there could ever be light outside, remember this: we are all with you, right here, right now. Wherever you are, we are with you, and OFMD is with you. Because the things we love do never truly leave us.

We keep saying that OFMD changed us, right? That means that it's become a part of us.

OFMD is and will forever be a part of who you are—and in you, it will live on forever. Be grateful, be immensely grateful, for gratefulness is the vibration that heals the fabric of the Universe and makes miracle happens. Crew, we got something we could never have imagined to begin with!! We are so, so lucky to have had this blessing.

Take the time you need to heal, cry, let out all your pain. But then please be brave and choose kindness, just like OFMD has taught us to. Choose to raise your vibration to that of love and gentleness and dare to believe that life has wonderful things waiting for you. There is hope, there is light, there is magic in your future, a whole life just waiting for you to have the courage to take the next step.

What do you think the crew of the Revenge would have done if they had been told their ship was going to forever stop sailing? They would have thrown another Calypso's birthday party just to celebrate the chance they had to spend so much time there together, and they would have looked forward, found new reasons to be happy, and a new life. Open an inn, for instance!

They would not want us to cry, they would like us to smile and be happy because of the journey we've shared. Or at least, smile through our tears!

You are loved, you are important, your very existence is an absolute blessing to this world. Please never stop being your awesome, beautiful, magical self, because the world needs you exactly as you are- that is why you are here!

Cheer up Crew - we have been so immensely blessed. Can only be thankful 🙏💜🏴‍☠️🖤

I genuinely wasn't expecting the enormous amount of statistical data linked and referenced in the #renewasacrew change.org petition, but damn.

I don't think Zaslav will walk back on this, but I do think there's a strong chance for another platform to pick it up-- in the modern streaming era we've seen it for Brooklyn 99, Community, Lucifer, The Expanse, One Day at a Time, and others, and that's not including shows that got final seasons (or even movies) well after their original airing, or classic shows that formed the blueprint for how this sort of pick-up could happen, or--

Well, okay, and also not counting that time enough people bugged the shit out of Arthur Conan Doyle that he finally threw his hands up and said FINE.

Anyway. Check out the data research embedded in the petition. In aggregate... it's pretty goddamn fishy that Zaslav decided this was a show to be cut. But it's a strong case as to why another platform should pick it up:

#a huge chunk of the work is done #it's only one season #and a fanbase ready to STRONGLY reward any platform that comes to the rescue #it's money on the table tbh #with potential for a big revenue boost for a startup #or a flagging (heh) streamer #and a lot of goodwill earned after the fact #our flag means death #ofmd cancellation #renew as a crew

Did David Jenkins do the right thing by scrambling to make S2 feel like a series finale because OFMD was always going to be canceled?

Or did he actually sabotage his chances of getting a S3 by making the finale feel too confusingly out of character and "final" in his attempts to wrap it all up just in case?

The question that will plague me for the rest of my life

I'm seeing all of the "we should be glad it even happened" posts, fuck that. getting a good queer show shouldn't be a fucking miracle we have to cherish. we asked for 3 seasons and we couldn't even get that, I am so sick and tired and you should be too.

OFMD

I continue to be baffled and disappointed by the decisions of streaming services. Honestly, I’m not especially dissatisfied with the way OFMD S2 ended (apart from Izzy’s fate, which I thought was bollocks), but it seemed clear to me that DJ felt he had more to do, more to say. Meanwhile the medium remains saturated with the bland, the formulaic, the safe. What’s to become of it all when these companies actively militate against risk-taking, even when it *works*?! Either way, not good news for the creative industries.

I love writing in the fandom, and I’ve got no intention of stopping now. They can’t cancel OUR creativity.

My existing OFMD fics are listed below; they’re not the best out there, but they come from a place of inspiration and love, and I hope they bring some joy. I’m also working on a multi-chapter modern AU which I can’t wait to share. I hope others will keep working on their stories and art, too.

I'm sorry to hear about ofmd, it was so important for so many

<3 it's still a good, fun show and I do still recommend it - albeit with caveats that Ed's so-called redemption arc is really badly written and the main disabled character is treated atrociously.

If you watch through to the penultimate episode of Season 2, you can pretend (as I did until the finale aired lmao) that they're going to actually pull together the threads of Ed feeling remorse and wanting to become a better person in a meaningful way, and that they're not gonna do All That Bullshit with Izzy. And that, um, there is some actual consistency to both Stede and Ed's arcs and characterisation....

I do hope there'll be a Season 3 at some point, from another studio, if only for other fans who enjoy the show, but I won't be watching unless there are radical writing changes made. And, um, more physically disabled people on the writing team lmao.

Still, good shows that become massive flops aren't exactly unusual (:stares at GoT:) and at least this has spawned a wealth of fix-it fic where Ed takes genuine steps towards accepting responsibility for his abusive actions, with Stede and the crew he didn't hurt as his support network, and his victims all heal slowly and find something approaching an actual happy ending. And, obviously, the guy who got abused and became traumatically disabled and had a huge mental health crash and tried to kill himself, then healed with the help of his found family, didn't do a complete 180 in the final episode on his deathbed and declare that his abuser was in the right, actually, and that he wants to die lmaoooo

can you tell I'm still salty
