oh btw - watched gps (gay pirate show - can’t do the whole ofmd thing because i’ve seen people tagging stuff that for months and my brain still just reads it as ‘outfit of my day’ which i know doesnt make any sense but that’s the perils of skim-reading acronyms and having made an instagram in 2012 for you)

anyway i watched it, i don’t have the brainrot for it but it’s good, it’s fun! i like how much it’s willing to be silly and let anything be possible as long as it creates a scenario that’s funny or cool to see play out - lots of people ‘sailing’ what should be long distances in a little rowboat, randomly winding up in convenient/improbable places, downright sitcom-y tv tropes being bent to involve characters/situations from the golden age of piracy, costumes being historically inaccurate in the most creative and brilliantly designed ways (the 18th century take on pretentious theater director’s black turtleneck i am looking at you). The show itself is very unpretentious and up-front about what it wants to accomplish, and convincing the audience any of this was historically possible is not one of those things, which I can respect

if anything im slightly confused at the amount of stuff i’ve seen dedicated to just the two main guys tho! don’t get me wrong, they’re very gay and very funny and sometimes very sad/sweet, but in context they’re almost the least exciting part of the show - and I definitely don’t mean that as an insult, bc the highlight for me was absolutely the fantastic ensemble cast - really talented actors giving great performances of wonderful characters! they’re all so good! why have i mostly seen a million posts of blackbeard and blondcurls and occasionally sideburns?

Also, I know I just said the one thing it deserves more praise for is its ensemblyness so this is a bit hypocritical but you know who really deserves some more credit? Joel Fry
