Deliberate Mistakes in OFMD

so…I’m a recent graduate of a massage therapy program. I’m reviewing material for my Mblex exam, and I came to a realization about something…

you know how Blackbeard prompts Stede to stab him in the lower left? And he claims there are no important bits there. 😂

Stede thinks the liver is there.

well, they’re both idiots,

the liver is in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen.

Now, gut stabbing is never good. Puncture your digestive tract, colon or small intestine, you’re in a world of hurt. Plus, back then, they had infections which is how they likely died.

bonus…

when Nick Krall’s pompous character says he wants thornrose (Stede) to “palpitate” his wife, he’s using an incorrect term. The correct word for manually exploring someone’s anatomy with your hands is PALPATE. Palpitation “makes you feel like your heart is beating too fast.”

Yeah, I’m a pedantic biatch, but I love this stuff, because it clearly deliberate! 🤓🤓🤓

SO proud of the Hoist the Ads crew and the amazing @renewasacrew team!

[camillescreations]

Why are people being so nasty to the ofmd fandom over our renewal efforts? I just blocked a guy who reblogged a post about the Times Square billboard who said that he hopes every single member of the fandom gets SHOT??? Who the actual fuck says that? And he's supposed to be advocating AGAINST genocide?? You know telling thousands of innocent people just trying to keep something they love that they deserve to be murdered isn't really against the whole genocide idea... right?

I've seen tons of posts similar to this, too, especially regarding the billboard. And, look, I get it, there is a genocide going on right now. No one in this fandom is denying or downplaying that. The fandom itself has raised money for Palestine, and the leftover money from the Hoist the Ads campaign is going to various charities. I didn't personally donate any money to the billboard, but I'm not going to bash the people who did. We are allowed to care about multiple things at once. And we are allowed to be excited about trying to get a show renewed that brings us immense joy without being told we're idiots or we should die. People are allowed to put money into things that they think are "fun." I really hope no one writing any of these posts has bought anything other than necessities since the attacks started, because that would be pretty hypocritical. And all these posts about how the fandom sucks aren't really productive? They just make people block you. And, frankly, they make people sadder in an already sad time. How is that doing anyone any good, guys?

I know what my morals are. And I don't need a bunch of trolls making me feel like garbage for liking something. I wish people would take the time they put into writing nasty posts that target people who are just minding their business and put it into other things. We would all be better for it, I think.

DJ and Matthew hunting OFMD Ads in the wild

[stardust-ti]

So, what's your most controversial take about OFMD?

I don't think Ed and Stede should get married in season 3.

They have a huge list of issues they still haven't addressed and are still relatively early in their relationship. If you skip past all that growth just to rush into the marriage. What are we even watching for?

Besides

They don't need marriage to be together happily.

I hate when that's the pedestal everyone worships.

So what do we think the odds are that DJ booked a flight to NYC as soon as he heard about the billboard and is going to be standing in Times Square incognito to take a selfie with it
