Shout out to @thebibliosphere for existing, and for being open and honest about health stuff in addition to writing some amazing sexy vampires, all while suffering some of the most terrible health stuff. I know I’m not the first or the last person to say this but: uuuh you’re literally the only reason I was able to get an MCAS diagnosis after having this *mystery illness* for my entire life and the past few years having it kick up to 11 and almost dying so many times now all while forgetting how to feel like a person so much that my second dose of cromolyn felt like I woke up from the Long Sleep.

So, yeah. Thank you.

STORIES TELLING: NED LOWE AND THE DEATH OF POOR REPRESENTATION IN OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH

In history, Ned Lowe was one of the most sadistic and violent pirates in the early 18th century, so he’s an obvious choice for a villain for season 2, episode 6 – Calypso’s Birthday.  What is interesting is what the OFMD writers chose to do with him.

Lowe announces himself to the crew of the Revenge with great fanfare (cannon ball attack) and gets right to the point.

Ed is thoroughly unimpressed.

Cut to Ed and Stede tied up while Ned attempts to set the mood so he can monologue about why he wants to kill Ed.

Ed knows what’s coming. He is going to suffer but he still can’t be arsed to meet Ned with anything but vaguely bored dismissiveness (and Stede is happy to play along).

Up on the deck, Ned prepares the crew for his big, dramatic moment of symphonic torture.

Note that the Revenge crew is tied down, braced by vices and generally unable to protect themselves from imminent torture and possible death, but their spirits are up. They don’t seem terribly fussed.

Then Stede uses his people positive management style to happily orchestrate a worker uprising in Ned’s crew.

Ned’s crew responds instantly; severing their allegiance to Lowe and telling him off.

The crew sails away and talks profit sharing while Ned dully threatens to hunt them down.

Ned is now a prisoner of the Revenge crew and seems entirely disinterested in his own survival.

And Ned sinks to the depths, without struggling at all.

There is a lot going on in this episode: pay and labor equity direct action, gay love engagement bliss, kink humor, Stede being a hero and saving his crew by playing to his strengths, then having to decide whether to kill in cold blood and feel the consequences of that choice. Ed having one more reason to be done with piracy (while being so impressed with and fond of Stede), and then watching his man make a fraught choice and having to deal with the fallout from that. (And, damn, I haven’t even mentioned the passionate sex bit.) Anyway, back to the point.

Now for the the meta part

The Ned Lowe sequences are perfectly in keeping with OFMD’s signature blend of madcap violence, humor, and big emotional gut punches. But something about Ned Lowe just strikes me as off for this show.

Ned is seriously threatening the crews’ lives, so why don’t they take him seriously?

Why does Ned have such a boring, throwaway backstory?

Why is Ned so nonchalant about his own death; like it’s a foregone conclusion?

Why does Ned have a silver violin and silver spurs on his slip-on dress shoes?

Why is Ned sartorially monochromatic?

And then I realized who Ned reminds me of.

This guy,

Earnst Stavro Blofeld in the James Bond film Diamonds are Forever (1971)

And this guy,

Scar in Disney's The Lion King (1994).

And this guy,

Xerxes, 300 (2006).

And it sure seems like Ned Lowe isn’t just an episodic villain. He is an archetype of the one-dimensional, stereotypical queer-coded villain that has been endemic in film and television throughout history. The OFMD writers have a lot to say about what to do with this kind of character:

Don’t respect him.

Feel free to openly mock him.

Don’t let him take your joy, even though he will hurt you.

He won’t disappear on his own. You have to throw something at him (take action) to make him go away.

Once he’s in the water, he’s content to drown. He’s not into what he’s doing any more than you are.

Oh and, just to be clear,

The LGBTQIA+ community has a very long history of turning shit media into better stories. So, hey, big media, prepare to have your crap characters wrecked (improved).

Now, back to our transformative pirate show with rich, complex queer characters and a multi-layered plot that surprises me every week and makes me feel big feelings - most of all, joy.

Final thought: I do wonder if Ned Lowe is monochromatically silver as a tribute to/poke at, Hollywood and the silver screen.

This meta was written before OFMD season 2 has fully aired. No idea what’s going to happen in the finale (and I’ve generally fled social media to avoid spoilers). I’ll be back, looking at everyone’s fascinating posts after episode 8 airs.

Winter Warmers, Day 2

surprise surprise, i literally just wrote this right now. oh well, have some maxiel filth <3

Prompt: Coming Untouched / Word Count: 434 oh wow

Max hums, shifting on his knees, closing his eyes and relishing in the slight burn of Daniel’s cock stretching his lips. His own cock, straining against the soft material of his boxer, is already hard and leaking while he’s gently suckling on the cock head. One of Daniel’s hands carefully cards through his hair, gently guiding him to go deeper. Max lets his mouth go slack, focusing on breathing through his nose. 

“Fuck, princess, your mouth-...”

Daniel groans, hand tightening slightly in Max’s hair. The blonde moans softly, his face now pressed against the base of the older’s cock, where it smells even more musky and woody and perfectly Daniel. 

“Can I fuck your mouth, sweetheart? Please?”

Max nods as much as he can, blinking the tears out of his eyes. Above him, Daniel grins, that soft, wide smile he only has for Max, before cupping his cheeks, slowly thrusting his hips forwards, building up a nice, steady rhythm. The blonde relaxes, cradled in the safety of Daniel’s hands, tears freely running down his cheeks. Time passes, both too fast and too slow, and Max finds himself matching the cadence of Daniel’s thrusts, rocking back and forth on his knees, cock trapped between his tummy and the waistband of his boxers, leaking steadily. It almost feels like an out of the body experience, the ebbs and flows of pleasure making him sway every so often, spiking whenever the older’s thrusts get particularly sharp. It keeps building up, up, up, the absence of actual stimulation slowly but surely nudging him towards the edge. But his own pleasure isn’t Max’s focus, not now, not when Daniel is unraveling oh so beautifully above him, his movements erratic and his hands tightening their grip as he thrusts once, twice, before spilling down Max’s throat, warm and thick and salty. 

His own orgasm takes them both by surprise, all sensations suddenly reaching their peak as Daniel rests the tip of his cock against the flat of Max’s tongue, and the blonde shivers, whining as he feels it, as if every single nerve ending decided to light up at the same time. He’s shaking, his cock an angry, purplish red as it blurts out ropes of cum, staining his already soaked boxers. When Max finally manages to open his eyes again, he’s shivering, and Daniel is kneeling next to him, holding him in a tight hug while whispering soft, gentle praises. It takes a moment, but he manages to hug back, shuffling on his knees until he’s perfectly curled in the safe space that Daniel carved for him in his arms.
