laughing through the pain with this one

[the-widow-olivia]

Every blessed second of OFMD is a “yes-and” from someone.

David said, “Stede’s gonna be a mermaid.” And Gypsy said, “Great! And he’s a goldfish.”

The writers said, “Never left.” And Taika said, “Great! And I’m gonna add a foot touch.”

Someone said yes to the nose jar.

Someone said yes to the double sandwich slap that broke Nathan.

Someone said yes to “La Vie en Rose.”

It’s no wonder the fans of this show are running around yes-and-ing each other with art and memes and fics and muppets.

Con is right - we all need to reach out for that yes, in every aspect of our creative lives. That’s when the cool shit happens.

society if we had 10 episodes and I could possibly watch Wee John telling Stede that pirate captains leave their slutty shirt ties untied down to their belly button and Stede going "😃 really? then that is what this pirate captain shall do!" and Ed getting a nosebleed the next time he sees Stede

“He could have been a great love, Izzy.”

Have you been loving #WeeJohnWondays! Would you like to give something back?

Kristian sets up WeeJohnWondays on his own, without pay, without studio support, arranging guests and navigating both the chat and a discord to find and ask relevant questions. He's absolutely lovely and has even promised that although there's only one week left of the show airing on BBC due to the new double-billed schedule, he's going to have two more weeks of WeeJohnWondays - one with Con and Gypsy and one with David Jenkins.

To thank Kristian for all the hard work he does for WJW, there is a fundraiser going on for Kristian Nairn's charity of choice, TeamHAVEN, which provides meals to folks in need in Northern Ireland. You can find the fundraiser here:

Last year this fundraiser raised a little over £3000. This year the goal is £5000.

TeamHAVEN is a small team tackling a big need in Northern Ireland. Their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/teamhavenbelfast) posts near-daily updates on the folks they serve. Recently they're reporting big crowds in wet, chilly weather. If you read through their updates you can get a sense for how deeply they care about their community. This is a crew for whom even £10 can make a difference.

THIS WEEK, ON WJW

Con chose violence once again by teasing us about Izzy's backstory.

- Izzy's biggest regret was not having let himself fall in love. Seeing Ed and Stede love so fully only made him regret it more.

- Izzy's emerald ring that he keeps on his necktie is related to that love.

- Con had a tattoo put on the inside of his wrist by his stylist in S2. It was a name and it had cut marks over it. We never got to see it.

- We would have that story developed in S3

- The scene where Izzy walks in on Wee John preparing for Calypso's Birthday was much longer. It ended with them both looking at Wee John's mirror and Izzy saying "Make me pretty."

=Cast & Crew Sightings=

= Wee John Wondays ==

I think everyone's favorite part of the day was when Nathan Foad appeared on Wee John Wonday's. He is by far one of the best guests ever.

Please go watch the whole damn live, but if you don't have time right now. Here's a clip from our fabulous friend @edscuntyeyeshadow who recorded it for us, I have just left it on repeat so I can continue to laugh.

A few quotes/highlights in case you can't watch anything right now:

Highlights:

Kristian's Garage Fire

Nathan's Writing

Nathan was VERY sick at the beginning of filming S2, Sick AF and had to learn how to roll and smoke cigarettes.

Nathan was not aware he was on camera when the sandwich hit him in the face.

Gypsy made him a jacket to wear IRL that matched his gorgeous one in the show (Gypsy is the best)

Nathan's favorite scene was the one with Matt Maher with the Art on the Wall.

Kristian's favorite scene was the one with Con O'Neill and asking to put on make up

Quotes:

"NOT TO BE A BIG THING RIGHT NOW BUT I AM" - Nathan

"Sniffed the air like a fox in heat" - Kristian

"You little gay bitch" - Nathan

"Mid town special" - Nathan, as Kristian

"Im a horrible un wanted nipple twister" - Kristian

"Needy puffs" - Nathan

Hey all, I already made a short post about it but the Kudoboard was overrun by some absolute twats today so I had to lock it down with a password. If you'd like to still submit something to the cast and crew that's still doable, you'll just need the pw. Please just DM me here or twitter, or Instagram, or wherever you can find me or the @saveofmdcrewmates folks also have it. We will be sending it off / locking it on Valentine's day early morning so please reach out prior!

Hey lovelies, I am really low on spoons tonight so I'm gonna let some other folks send you love on my behalf. See you tomorrow, all the love. <3

nathan foad on today’s ig live: “I feel like people are hanging on our every word in case any of us have any, like, information or anything- we really really don’t.”

[quarterlifecrisis-activated]

I saw on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the writers room for OFMD was bad because of the recently revealed scrapped plot lines. I get that you might not like those side stories but they didn’t make it into the show for a reason. Like they were cut for a reason, I don’t know how you can say the writers are bad for NOT going through with plot lines that are bad. I’m not a creative writer but I do academic research and let me tell you I have had horrible ideas that I pursued to scrap later. I imagine it’s the same for creative writing. Sometimes you gotta develop half baked ideas to find out what actually works.

[blakbonnet]

Original script: Wee John was supposed to play cupid cause the crew was so frustrated with the sexual tension between Ed and Stede, so Wee John gave Stede a makeover and then they danced and hooked up

Samba: but the actual episode was so much better than what we had before

[disabledpirate]

Izzy had so much left to be told. A tattoo of a name that was put on by makeup in every scene. His emerald ring. Falling in love. An entire backstory that Con has been sitting on and hoped to flesh out.

it's called wee john wondays because we won
