you know what i'm so tired of? the influx of negative clickbait articles surrounding the possibility of ofmd s3. i've seen things like "taika says he isn't sure whether he wants to return for the third season" and "the show will go on without ed and stede." and the worst recent offender was "stede might be the one to breakup with blackbeard in the third season" because it misconstrued rhys' words when he was talking about ed and stede likely reuniting with the crew.

and like...intuitively i know that they are all indeed just clickbait, and are trying to take advantage of everyone's desperation for any sort of s3 news. and also, i feel like the negativity is pointed and purposeful, because it gets people talking and subsequently spreads the article around faster/gives that particular site more attention.

but man do i hate it, because it does not mix well with my anxiety.

#OFMD #OFMD Season 3 #also it's so weird to me because i feel like the fandom would take off running with POSITIVE news--arguably even faster than negative #to quote an og fandom lol: 'hope. it is the only thing stronger than fear'#so you'd think they'd try and get a tidbit of positive thinking and focus on THAT instead #like 'the crew and our swashbuckling sweethearts may have separated at the end of season 2...but their stories with each other aren't over!#'they're all a family and will more than likely cross paths on the high seas once again' TYPE DEAL #AS OPPOSED TO TAKING RHYS' WORDS AND BEING LIKE 'oh lol stede is going to breakup with ed actually'#and not even ed because they always use bLAckBEaRd which instills an even deeper contempt in me tbh HSDJKLS #but it drives me bonkers bananas because i KNOW that wouldn't be the case #and i KNOW the show is the relationship #and i KNOW david said that they're done breaking up and that the third season would be focused on their maturing relationship #BUT EVEN STILL #//EVEN STILL//#ANY SORT OF WHISPER OF DOUBT GETS MY ANXIETY SHOOTING OFF AND I JUST SHDJKLSDLS #I SIMPLY WISH THEY WOULD STOP DOING: THIS
