*All* of this. And please note that Fang & Ivan also both hop on the Yeah Let’s Do This Better train, providing evidence that this phenomenon is not specific to the original crew of the Revenge.

It is actually extremely important to me that y'all understand the importance of the talent show subplot to the structure of ofmd being not just a gay romcom but a story fiercely thematically opposed to toxic masculinity and amatonormativity; how Ed the Emo crying into his blanket fort and silk gown writing sad boy poetry music is the most emotionally healthy he’s ever been and a hairsbreadth away from sustained happiness.

Which is a hard sell with Stede still playing house and straight man a million lightyears and then one (1) rowboat trip away, but I swear the reason that Ed has this subplot instead of disappearing for twenty minutes of B-plot about mutinying against Izzy only to swan in as The Kraken at the end is because Our Flag Means Death correctly believes with its whole big gay pirate heart that Ed doesn’t need Stede to be happy.

I generally find romantic storylines in books & shows so uninteresting that I’ve literally wondered if it’s possible to be aro just in regards to fiction and then THESE two goobers come along & carve my fucking heart out with a snail fork what the fuck

Jenkins stole the ammo before the haters could shoot.

The bad comparison hot takes are getting to me. Who's gonna be the hero to fill out this Venn diagram so I don't have to?

[Image ID: Venn diagram of four overlapping circles with small image of character in each: upper circle is Aziraphale from Good Omens, right circle is Stede Bonnet from OFMD, lower circle is Crowley from Good Omens, left circle is Blackbeard/Edward Teach from OFMD. /end ID]

However I do not recommend “will you stop fingering my dents, and let’s get back to some accounting.”

If you have coworkers who are also OFMDers, please note that “don’t debase yourself for a man who hasn’t a single tureen on board” is excellent code for “do not give our crazy-ass boss more of your emotional energy than they’re worth.”

If Tumblr does not add an account option for “this is a single-topic absolutely obsessive fan-kid blog” then I’m going to continue to make it sad when it forces me to choose five topics I want to follow.
