#ofmd opinion

[local-hyena-reblogs]

My thoughts of ofmd s2 :

The ship atmosphere at the beginning felt too much like my old house and I'm kinda glad I got kicked out. In that situation I was Fang and my brother was kinda like Jim. Or the other way around, when needed. I wish i still had a brother.

Also, my opinion on Izzy has radically CHANGED like in s1 I tought he was a little bastard and hated his guts, now I feel so much kitty for this poor little wet cat of a man man. Izzy stans you win. I have joined you.

LUCIUS MAH BOYYYY I KNEW YOU WERE ALIVE AHDHDKDKDK no but seriously hus first line literally being "Yes Queen" is peak Lucius. Poor child is traumatized.

PIRATE QUEEN. Is Queen. What else is there to say ? Also, she asks the real question "girl, how are you ?".

Frenchie got CAT CLAWS. The former cat hater now turned into a catboy. Kinda like me with Izzy lol. Also, peak coping mechanism, bottle it all up.

Fang, I feel ya. Relatable. I wanna hug you.

Archie, new gal. Looks cool ! I kinda see à thing where Jim and Olu will kinda go their own way, like Jim with Archie and Olu possibly with the Queen ? I wonder how's it gonna end, cuz Jim and Olu are one of my faves pairing so... yeah, kinda clouds my judgment for now.

And the rest of the crewww !! The Swede got married, good for him.

I think the whole thing with Ed and Stede was a bit over-the-top, but hey, that's good. Also merman Stede. Unexpected. Go David Go follow your dreams funni man.

I have NO expectations or predictions for what's about to come. Best way to not being disappointed lmao

realizing that um. the groom? in that wedding ed crashed? where he got the wedding cake toppers?

his suit is literally....... orange and gold. with fish scales.

i just think that's. interesting. especially because the wedding cake topper does not have this detailing.

meaning that ed noticed this Fine Fabric and it stuck in his mind as being stede-like. and his subconscious uses it to construct his vision of stede.

this is also where i point out (perhaps needlessly) that... this is a wedding suit. ed, on the verge of death, imagines his love swimming towards him, yes. but more specifically... his groom.

[paleoleigh]

The thing about Stede is that he is simultaneously Ed's big strong man, and also his baby. The same way Ed is the most brilliant competent man Stede has ever known and also a kitten. They really contain multitudes in this ship huh

[casmick-consequences]

Also; people who claim this to be "bury your gays" is absolutely hilarious.

You could've closed your eyes, pointed at any character of the show to die, and you could've argued about it being "bury your gays". It's the gay pirate show. They're all gay. No one is safe.

But also, Izzy didn't die a "tragic, unhappy death". He passed away, surrounded by his found family and in the arms of Edward. Not Blackbeard but Edward. Eddie. His arc came to a satisfying end, and that's pretty much the opposite of the good ol' original "Bury Your Gays" trope.

Can we instead of focusing on negative things just applaud Con O'Neill on his magnificent fucking performance as Izzy Hands? He acted his literal tits off in this role. The emotion and frustration, but also the happiness and the silliness. Con you're an absolute mad lad and watching you on my screen has given me many many happy stims <3 I love you.

ngl i did not expect izzy hands to be my favorite character in season 2, but here we are. [id in alt]

[mcchi-ken]

uhm i guess this ship is sinking (get it) so i better get all of the fanart out the way huh. call it blackbonnet pt.2 christmas clearance. please pleeeeease let this post not be flagged.

also bonus: something i think about constantly

it was an honor to be on this ship. will never forget the naked ass ed i drew that got 4000 notes. thank you

Jim: Keeping that suit is playing las maracas with the devil.

Stede: 🍸😌 Jim, I’m sorry there was only one

🌹 velvety suit ✨

You’re most welcome to borrow it 🤔🤭 Or well… look at it 😽😹💃

Jim: *silently pulls out knife*

[jellybeanium124]

izzy is swagless and I love him for it. he has all the social skill of a dead rat. he is a deeply odd little man who has never held a normal conversation in his life. he 100% thinks he's cool and does not grasp the fact that he's so fucking weird. izzy thinks he's the most normal guy to ever exist while being delusional about the state of reality and moaning "daddy... daddy..." at some guys he LITERALLY just met. he'll tell his boss he loves him but won't do drugs with him. when he was getting his tattoos done he absolutely sat perfectly still and quiet and stared off into space. he has zero understanding of personal boundaries. he's dramatic as fuck when he wants to be. he's wet and pathetic. he's got a -3 charisma modifier.

Jim my beloved

[bizarrelittlemew]

the (one) fish 😭

[xray-vex]

hey remember when the OFMD s2 teaser video dropped and there were people who were somehow CONVINCED that Stede was referring to Izzy when he said "I don't care what any of you say, he's actually a good guy" and not, y'know, Ed, whom they were literally just talking about in this scene?

like what the hell was that about

[jaskierx]

dunno about the rest of you guys but i kinda wish they hadn’t cancelled ofmd :/

[merricatblckwood]

At this point I trust the crew of ofmd with my life and i know season 2 is gonna be good but I have one fear and I'm not joking, I am terrified of them making stede more masculine because he becomes more badass and confident. I know it's something a lot of fans actually wish, the bearded muscular stede, but imagining it could happen makes me profoundly sad. I absolutely love frilly shirts cute nightgowns little shoes with bows stede. I love the fact that he loves clothes and he's kind of feminine, and I love the fact that he can still be badass. He was wearing a frilly nightgown and pink robe at his hottest, most badass moment when he told jack to get off of his ship. It's probably kind of stupid to be worried like this for something that may seem so insignificant, but I love Stede the way he looks in S1, and I'm obsessed with clothes and fashion and one of the many reasons why I've hyperfixated for so long on this show is the costumes, and especially stede's costumes. Anyway that's it I needed to get it out of my brain bye

[our-flag-means-yippee]

This might be a controversial take but personally I think the reason ppl ship Sprizzy more than LuPete is bc Izzy is seen as more conventionally attractive :/

[careful-knives]

Ok, so. I don't know what I'm feeling. It's a mixture of irl stuff (mostly worries) and hope.

Here's what I'm going to do:

filling the Netflix request form

sometimes talk to customers service on Netflix to keep asking for ofmd

keep recommending the show and asking people to ask Netflix for it

observe how wbd and Zaslav are doing

keep boosting all the tags on twitter

If anyone has additional ideas I'm open to include them.

i think that some of you need to realize that queer characters dying isn’t always a “fuck you” to queer people (especially in a show where queer is the norm)
