i love the way your hair.. your beard and all that
23, queer, they/them. wanted to stop lurking from my cringe porn account main (lmfao rip) so here’s a place for me to only think about ofmd and mr hands first mate hands or god as far as you’re concerned. spoilers tagged #ofmd s2 spoilers. minors stay back
driverminnie:@dvidjenkins created ‘Our Flag Means Death’ and if you haven’t tasted it’s rare confection, you should probably walk the plank. Best time ever. Our episode echoes the inward and outward screams of Who’s Afraid Of Virgina Wolfe.. (see how the fabric of my costume is the same at Liz Taylor’s? 🥇 @gypsytaylor ) Heaven all round ( or hell)
This might sound weird, but. One thing I really, really love about Our Flag Means Death is that it shows men crying. And not a few manly tears either, but full on ugly sobbing
Ed's PTSD breakdown in the tub, Izzy's mental break under the Kraken's pressure, Ed crying over the breakup, Izzy crying over the unicorn note, Fang crying over his dog and over Izzy
It's just really meaningful that we see grown men cry! And cry realistically. It's still not something we see a lot of in media and I just. Really like it
not to sympathize with izzy for a hot second (sorry) but bro the hope... the hope bro... the crew doing something nice for him and passing along the hope stede gave to them. stede's hope leaking through into izzy without izzy even realizing it. realizing for the first time that there can be a life for him without screaming and harassing people, that he still has a space on this ship even if he's no longer the man he once was.
“hey lou reed” by the servant was playing in my head on repeat for no reason while i made this one (it's a gorgeous song though; i'm probably just obsessed with it). i thought it should at least be more “golden days” or any slade song? anyway here it is.
in my head cj is the one person who magically gets izzy to be more relaxed and playful around him because izzy realised it's an absolute waste of energy to be serious with him (and also that he is serious enough when he wants to be).
also, i have a reference photo for this which is here. it's just loosely inspired by the composition of it but i love this series so much.
Ed and Stede would try to do sexy roleplay but get so distracted by making up the story that they'd end up doing a three hour improv routine and forget to have sex
