I MISS THE HIT TELEVISION SERIES OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH

[lisahafey]

I love Lucius and Stede's dynamic and I need more of them in S3, please god

[lisahafey]

Thinking about "technically the fire killed those guys". It's what Ed says when Jack tells Stede that Ed once burned a ship. And we don't really talk enough about that "the fire killed those guys" is something we have at this point already seen. Stede did it. He weaponised background knowledge and passive aggression and got the posh party boat crowd to set themselves on fire, and then gleefully watched with zero regrets. And then, in Man on Fire, there's another guy Stede doesn't technically murder because it's probably the fire that killed that guy (or would have). Definitely fire involved in the death. "The fire killed those guys" happens too often to not be an intentional parallel.

Ed and Stede really are very similar characters whose situations and actions are quite alike. (Also both of their first hands-on kills are done in self-defense and defense of loved ones, and it's not a triumphant victory but a traumatising necessity.)

But, here we have two characters. Both of them burned and sank a boat full of people. One of them gleefully watched, and then never thinks about it again. The other is shown to feel shame/regret when the boat burning is mentioned.

I think I'm just going to. Put this here. For reasons.

Off sick, so of course I binge-watched OFMD - s1 yesterday and s2 today. My two key takeaways:

1. It's SOOOOOO good. I mean, guys, do you know how good this show is? It's really fucking good

2. There should be more of it. Please refer back to point 1.

OFMD Dumbasses In Love

When Stede doesn’t meet Ed on the dock, Ed immediately thinks “he hates me, he doesn’t want me”. It never occurs to him that something happened. He never thinks…well maybe a guard caught Stede. He didn’t know that Badminton kidnapped and further traumatized Stede. We know that Stede left to try to fix things; he thought he had to fix his family and save Ed from himself.

The heart of sit-coms is always misunderstanding based on miscommunication or no communication. So that scans.

If Ed and Stede would have spoken about it, if Stede explained why he was leaving, Blackbeard wouldn’t have gone to full Kraken. But then we wouldn’t have much of a show, would we?

[lisahafey]

In my head, for Ed violence is never plan A or even plan B. It’s more like plan Z.

But for Stede? It’s plan B. When talking it through doesn’t work, he goes for plan B which may or may not include committing arson.

So if this is me, then I'll do my best, I'll take all the shit so you never have to. You can be you and I'll be the rest, yeah maybe that's who the hell I am.

You gotta get better, you're all that I've got.

I've got to get better I'm all that I've got.

What I love about the entire gravy basket and particularly the MerStede scene is that like the middle line, it could have easily been the trope of Stede saving Ed. But it isn't.

Stede is giving Ed the strength, hope, and love to save himself.

Happy birthday to the absolute legend @davidjenks!! Our Pirate Chaos Dad extraordinaire has brought us all so much light and love and kept our hearts racing at every turn.

We are so very grateful for you sir, and we hope you have a fabulous day today, and so many many more 💕

From all your proud pirate kids, Happy Birthday!

[lisahafey]

thinking about Ed Teach & all the life-altering moments that happened to him in Stede's bed

- thinking about how Ed went back to check on Stede knowing that Stede needed him but that he needed Stede, too & how they made love in that bed where Ed endured the worst heartbreak of his life & how the love they share is healing them both.

& Ed's remembering.

he's remembering the times he broke down crying so hard about Stede that he thought he might actually die from grief.

but Stede's HERE now.

& Ed's heart is full to bursting with love & wishes he could comfort his past self & tell him it'll be ok.

[lisahafey]

I’ve never seen Taika this happy while talking about any of his other projects. I love how much he loves this little pirate show and being Ed

[lisahafey]

Jeff's being really nice, Jeff's being polite!

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies! So much honking going on! We even have Ruibo Honking! And Honking coloring pages! That's all so great! I realize this is another short one today, but I wanted to take a moment to remind you of something so easily forgotten now a days.

You are human.

You are fallible.

You are messy. You make mistakes.

But you know what else you are? You are worthy. You are beautiful. You are complex. You are constantly learning.

But most of all-- You are loved. You aren't loved despite your flaws-- despite your fallibility and messiness-- you are loved because of every single one of the things above. You are wonderful because you are human. Your neighbor, your kid, your family, your moots, they are all wonderful because they make mistakes because they are fallible, because they are complex, because they are learning, and growing, because they are human. All of us are humans, lovelies, and that is such a fantastic thing. We learn, and we grow together, and we do our best when things go wrong to make them better for next time. Don't forget that your humanity, and your flaws are also what make you unique, and brilliant.

Don't give up okay? Don't let those things haunt you, but make you rise up and keep going. Love you crew <3
