lol the way my first thought when I heard the song in the BT scene was WHAT'S THAT SONG. (and not even because I happen to have an honest to god MA in gender&media half of which was cinematography lmao. I know myself and it was 100% because I went to the Tumblr University of Supernatural Studies back in the day and it's just become an ingrained reaction now. i'm like a sleeper agent where background songs activate me.) anyway, thanks for doing the research!

🤣🤣🤣 We have all become expert professors in the Tumblr University some way or the other. I mastered in Stargate Atlantis studies and did my PhD in McShep subtext. Nothing escapes our notice anymore.

You're welcome. 🫡

STORIES TELLING: HOW RECURRING MUSIC IN OFMD CAUSES MENTAL DEVASTATION IN THE VERY BEST WAY

How the Blackbeard theme, Gnossienne No. 5, and Voi Che Sapepte reveal, reinforce and recontextualize the narrative. An in-depth analysis of key scenes throughout seasons 1 and 2.

Much gratitude to pocket friends who were so encouraging and provided valuable feedback while I worked on this.

Meta by these authors (links, below the cut) influenced this video:

@asneakyfox, @asongaboutpirates, @bakasara, @doyoueverstopandthink, @chaotic-neutral-knitter, @forpiratereasons @fresne999 @gaypiratepropaganda, @jaskierx, @medievill, @mxmollusca, @piratecaptainscaptainpirates @veeagainsttheday, @57flagsofdeath

Gnossienne No. 5 doyoueverstopandthink - i will literally never get over about how fantastic the transition from robert schumann's "träumerei" to erik satie's "gnossiennes: no. 5" is

Voi Che Sapete asongaboutpirates - Another little detail about OFMD that makes me go feral

Transformation in OFMD fresne999 - Half way through the journey of our analyses mxmollusca - The transformation from object to subject, from something that has things done to it versus someone with agency.

Ed's & Izzy's Relationship asneakyfox - you have to understand i have always felt the key thing that makes blackhands interesting...

chaotic-neutral-knitter - Izzy telling Stede "I know you think you understand him," and Stede immediately describing Ed's emotional state perfectly accurately... gaypiratepropaganda - On Izzy saying "because of your feelings for Stede fucking Bonnet"

Ed's Arc veeagainsttheday - Ed, Killing, and the Kraken in Our Flag Means Death S1 and S2

piratecaptainscaptainpirates - I've been thinking about how Ed starts directly killing people in s2e8 57flagsofdeath - Still thinking about this scene. Ed lights the fire place, puts a blanket on the floor to lay on, and puts the two cake toppers next to each other before rolling over and bursting into tears. asneakyfox - i've talked a fair bit about how i don't think "anger issues" is a very useful way to describe how the show frames ed's relationship with violence

Izzy's Arc bakasara - Trying to parse my thoughts on Izzy's death and why I had a different reaction to it than I thought I would. forpiratereasons - all right. i'm ready to talk about izzy.

Love & Relationships in OFMD jaskierx - posting some thoughts from the discord about how many 'irl relationship' things they're dealing with in ep7 and how much i am eating my mattress about it medievill - ofmd does not give a fuck about reality or history or anachronism but it draws the line at magic dick.

@bakasara

Doctors should snark at each other more, be a bit mean. Not for no reason, mind you. But if five doctors blow me off about symptoms and doctor number six FINALLY runs actual tests and gets a diagnosis, I think it should be Doctor Six's right to call up the other five and tell them they're lazy pieces of shit. That should be socially encouraged. Those first five doctors clearly can't listen to patients, but maybe another doctor might finally get to them.

it was a pointless exercise in outrage to assume in the first place, but it takes two seconds to see the other posts you reblogged and confirm you meant *the opposite* of what those two took away. people look for easy targets to get out their feelings at.

​yeah, I mean, I get it. You're scared and helpless so you go for the target you can reach (some rando on the shark are smooth website, in this case). After the US presidential election of 2016 I had to disable replies on my posts and anon asks because people decided to go after me as I was ~queerphobic and antisemitic for a post about. Being alarmed about the sudden rise of fascism. Following the US presidential election of 2016. If you think it doesn't make much sense, yeah.

The worst thing in the entire world is when you’re sweeping a big pile of dirt into a dustpan and it leaves that little coke line of grit behind. No matter how you position your pan or your broom and no matter how many times you sweep over it your outcome cannot change. As immovable as fate. I hate it so

lo fa anche la ponti se ti capita di guardare al supermercato. "with mother" significa non purificato, con i batteri aka mother. come coltura dovrebbe essere più o meno simile agli scoby che si usano per fare il kombucha

​posseggo aceto di mele. uso aceto di mele. ma il passaggio mentale tra "aceto di mele" e "ACETO DI SIDRO DI MELE CON "THE MOTHER"* BIOLOGICO CRUDO NON FILTRATO - bevilo addolcendolo con sciroppo d'acero" non era intuitivo. specialmente siccome lo vendono anche in capsule

OK but now that you're caught up: Eliot's little pause when he goes in to kiss memory!Q, just before actually kissing him

This has been fucking me up consistently since I watched the episode lmao like... it’s so subtle???? But at the same time it is SO MUCH

And yeah, it’s not technically Quentin in the flesh, but Eliot knows those lips well enough to remember how they felt exactly, and this is a moment he intends on savoring. It’s so tender and so familiar and tinged with so much gentle, aching regret that I almost feel like we shouldn’t even be allowed to see this. It’s too intimate. Too personal. Too deep. This is Eliot doing exactly what he knew he should have done in that moment and then didn’t and was so filled with regret he literally had to suppress the memory.

And while we’re here can we also cry about

how much he lingers? God Eliot Waugh is just... so fucking in love with Quentin Coldwater it breaks my heart. I understand what it is to love and want someone that terribly, and how breaking yourself away from them emotionally is like a death, and I understand why he would just have to forget his rejection of Q ever happened. But I cannot even begin to understand how that must feel after having just spent fifty years with that person, every day. Every night in their bed, every morning waking up together. Raising their son and watching him walk away. To know that they were the last sight your eyes saw before they closed forever when your old body could no longer sustain your life...

And after seeing this, you know that he meant what he said. If he ever gets out of there, he’s going to make it right.
