Just a friendly reminder that we really got to see this with our own actual eyeballs, and it wasn't some kind of vivid fever dream or something

i've seen a couple of posts like "why didn't they use a stunt double for the underwater scene" and like girl imagine trying to tell rhys darby that the scene where his character is a cryptid will be played by someone else

i’ve been meaning to draw something for ofmd ever since i watched it last month…then a week ago i remembered it was mermay!!!!

i spent an absurd amount of time on this thing and i am praying the colors won’t get fucked up too bad

a lot of the background/general color scheme was referenced from this gif by @ ofmd-ann

he’s so silly. fisherman ed has my whole heart

no offence but all the things we should've said that we never said. all the things we should've done that we never did. all the things that you wanted from me. all the things that you needed from me. all the things we should've given, but I didn't. if you even care.

Today sucks, here is a mental health checkpoint, please take a moment to look at this makeup artist putting makeup on Rhys Darby’s Tits.

The thing that gets me the most about this scene is that Stede doesn't rescue Ed. Not in the traditional sense. He doesn't grab him. He doesn't pull him out of the water. Heck, he doesn't even lead him out of the water.

No, what he actually does is just be with Ed, exactly where Ed is. And that's the most powerful thing he could do.

And, crucially, Ed is still underwater. Stede's presence hasn't changed the fact that he's underwater. But the difference is that the weight has stopped pulling him further down, and, most importantly, he's no longer drowning.

I've talked about how much I love the way that this show explores mental health, and this is just a shining example of that. Stede's love for Ed, and his unwavering supportive presence beside him, doesn't fix his mental illness. It doesn't pull him out of the water.

But, fuck me, does having that love and support make it all feel a bit more survivable.
