#our flag means friendship

Twilight says friendship is magic so you better listen

ed trying to get over a guy he only kissed once while sobbing on the floor every night about him is literally queer culture thank u for the accurate rep david jenkins

"you are HARASSING A CRIPPLE" ".....foot." "a shark ate it." for some reason this genre of humor (making everyone else vaguely uncomfortable by joking about your disability/bringing it up on every occasion a la "the weather is homophobic because it's inconveniencing me") is my favorite fucking thing. god i hope it continues. i hope izzy tells everyone he meets a different story about how he lost the leg (fought a lobster, cannonball incident, cursed by a witch, "what do you mean? my leg's right h--OH MY GOD"). i hope he has a spreadsheet entitled "jokes i can make now that i only have one leg". he's completely deadpan and no one knows whether they're allowed to laugh or not. it's great.

My dad's lack of media comprehension serves as a fascinating litmus test for gay subtext. He "didn't pick up on any gay breadcrumbs" between Stede and Ed until the moment they kissed, but he knew that Will Byers was gay just from "it's not my fault you don't like girls" in series 3. It took him way too long to realise that there was something fruity going on in Killing Eve, but he fully believed that Sherlock and John ended up together

I’ll always find you.

As pirates.

As creatures of the night.

As life long friends.

I promise that I’ll always find you, in any reality.

Ed and Stede love each other. But you know what's even better? They like each other! They are best friends! They bounce off each other and come up with increasingly ridiculous scenarios!

It's easy! Just like breathing. They understand their idiosyncrasies. Finds them charming, even. They expose each other to new things, new ideas. And laugh a lot. They just...pass the time so well. That's love and friendship!

i’m sure it’s been said before, but i keep thinking about how if stede had had a genuine friendship in his life before meeting ed, he would have most likely realized his feelings for him were more than platonic way sooner

Is this anything

it’s happening again…

I know I’m dreaming here but I really want Jim and Frenchie to have a weird little friendship this season. Like they were both kidnapped and as far as they know everyone else is dead so I’m just imagining them trusting each other out of necessity and then eventually getting just attached enough that they go a little out of their way to watch each other’s backs. I mean they still both have their own interests to protect and if Jim got a chance to escape and it meant leaving Frenchie behind or vice versa I think they’d still go for it but like checking after they raid a wedding to make sure they both made it out alright. Trying not to let each other out of their sight because they let the others out of their sight and now they don’t know what happened to them. That kind of thing.

literally one of the most beautiful and quietly subversive things about ofmd is that everyone, consistently, is saved from doing terrible things by the presence and intervention of others. again and again and again, stede tells the crew not to kill the hostage, olu talks jim out of killing geraldo, ed stops olu throwing izzy overboard, stede wakes up and saves mary from killing him. even and especially when it's accidental (waking up, showing up at the right time), the presence of other people is what makes these characters, who are to a person all shown to be capable of murder and are often not 'good' people by mainstream comedy media standards, better. and it's established right in the first episode wrapped in a joke! stede says traditionally piracy has been a CULTURE of abuse, and dares to question why. no man is an island in ofmd. it's a profoundly communal show where people exist only in relation to each other in a world obsessed with the toxic masculinity of the lonesome macho outlaw. this is also why it is so devastating to see ed transform into blackbeard, because the person who could step in and stop him isn't there.
