actually i dont think ive posted my thoughts on ofmd s2 overall here yet have i?

ok here goes: i think it had incredibly high highs, and at some parts i genuinely enjoyed it more than i did the first season, episode 6 being peak imo. however, it had equally abysmal lows with some glaring writing-, tone- and pacing issues that all came to a head in the finale.

i once read someone say that, if you ever feel like a finale ruined the whole story, maybe you should take another look at the story. there were most likely cracks and problems all along, and the finale did nothing besides dashing the hope that these would perhaps be addressed later. very rarely do genuinely well written stories go completely off the rails in the finale and ruin the whole thing.

i think this is applicable here in some ways, SPECIFICALLY in regards to edward. good god edward was a MESS this season, and it's so sad because i loved the starting point! the kraken era was absolutely terrifying and iconic as FUCK but... they shouldn't have leaned so hard into the drama and trauma of it all. don't get me wrong, i loved that it did. it's one of my favorite parts of the season and i'm so glad we got it. but if they wanted this arc to work with the overarching plot as they wrote it, they would've had to lighten up the tone here CONSIDERABLY. had they played the kraken era for comedy then sure! edward's bad youtuber apology would've been funny. his fast redemption would've been less jarring. the lack of consequences less disturbing. but as it stands in the show, this arc is too dark to function with the later episodes.

i feel like they wanted to have their cake and eat it too here. they wanted the gritty drama of ed coming off the hinges entirely but also didn't want to deal with the aftermath of such a heavy arc in their silly pirate romcom. be that due to time constraints and budget cuts or because they were simply unwilling to, doesn't really matter in the end. the result is the same either way: a very tonally messy season with some accidentally troubling implications regarding abuse.

and mentioning troubling implications regarding abuse; izzy. my poor, poor izzy... his arc was absolutely glorious. i liked izzy the second he showed up in s1 and i was absolutely EATING this season up in that regard. and i think in this case, they genuinely did fuck it all up in the finale with that one stupid choice:

choosing to kill izzy was the DUMBEST thing they couldve done here.

ive talked about this over and over and over again. ive reblogged so many meta posts. and still i am left absolutely flabbergasted by how stupid of a decision this was. the fridging, playing at the fallen woman trope, killing the beating heart of the season and the character who delivers what is essentially a thesis statement, killing off the character whose arc is about coming to terms with his disability, having him die in edward's arms, comforting him and apologizing after an entire season of finding community and love outside of edward, the absolutely godawful pacing of it all, the extremely easy and obvious solution of just having IZZY become the new captain of the revenge to mirror s1 and hammer home how much he has developed since then in one go... i could go on. and i have. it was a stupid writing decision, completely fucked the tone and pacing of the finale and took away attention and time from things that really would've deserved a better wrap up (lucius and black pete deserved better)

now. the whole prince ricky & zheng plot line... yeah that shit sucked ass, sorry. they bit off more than they could chew here. i honestly think those are the arc words of this season:

✨️ bit off more than they could chew ✨️

right off the bat: i think he was good as a concept. bringing in a foil for stede who just doesn't Get It as stede does could've made for very good comedy and drama (and to be fair there is some of that). but that shit got away from them extremely quickly. nothing about how he's implemented past his first episode works, and i think this is very specifically because he's mostly played as the comic relief in his debut episode. making this completely bumbling fool, who gets his nose hacked off on his first job, the main villain of your entire season is... definitely a choice. idk. he didn't work for me at all.

ok wow mentioning shit getting away from the writers. this definitely got away from me. this was supposed to be a short lil post. well. i guess tl;dr i loved this season but jesus christ there was a lot wrong with it. if you want to hear more thoughts. ask box is open. be my guest. i have more to say so even if you dont ask i might add more to this at some point but im tired and have work tmrw.

VENT POST ABOUT THE QSMP SITUATIONS

this is a terrible year to be a quackity enjoyer. I'm feeling like I'm just a random civilian who wanted to watch a bunch of funny cube men, just hiding in a bunker while a war rages on outside with me constantly peeking in and then quickly shutting the door getting overwhelmed

#doxxing isn't good kids shut tf up if you think it is in ANY circumstance #not necessarily talking about what lea said #but apparently someone leaked quackity's full address on twitter which could endanger him and his family like fuckin hell #i don't like talking about drama and criminal allegations being committed #but like dude...why did this have to happen? #currently not on any side all of these people are a fucking mess #why are all influencers and public figures having the maturity of an elementary schooler recently #heard around that someone broke into his house too but can't confirm that since i only saw people talk about it #christtttt #vent post #tw vent

TUMBLR ATE MY ASK ISTG anyway. do you think commie would look down at ancom's body - with remorse but no regret, because it was always going to go like this, because ancom's death was necessary. do you think he would say something, to the colorless corpse. do you think commie would tell ancom he loved qim. do you think commie would try to say sorry, at the very least, because what else is there to do? sorry. not real in the slightest. but commie just wants to see - maybe there is something there, maybe he will feel regret and have that if nothing else, maybe ancom's eyes will flutter open and green will seep back into qim as if nothing ever happened, as if this is fixable - obviously not. because when the word falls from his lips it just feels dirty. like a trick to manipulate someone who could never hear it. because commie isn't sorry. apologies are for when you wish you could take it back. apologies are for when you aren't going to do it again. but he wouldn't and he will. this is how it was always going to happen, remember? so. as commie does best. he picks up a shovel and starts to dig. ancom liked the flowers, after all. the grave isn't an apology, but he hopes, as he lowers qui into the ground, it's an act of compassion. a concession to qim. the worst kind, of course - useless compassion, concessions to those who can't register them anymore (he imagines ancom's voice, thanking him, and it's not something he should be allowed to have even in fantasy.) - but, it's something, right? / he covers qim with dirt and knows that it isn't.

(help why did you make me write centricide fic for the first and last time)

#OUUGUHHTHHHGGHGGGGG #MAN. MAN!!! #TWIGS CMON YOU CANT DO THISSSSSS TO MEEEEE #FUCK. FUCK!!!!!!! #A CONFESSION TO QIM. THE WORST KIND. #OKAY! OKAY. #IM GONNA KILL MYSELF? #BUT HE WOULDNT AND HE WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT HE WOULDNT AND HE WILL. #WHATEVERRR WHATEVER INDONT CARE. <- CARES SO MUCH IT HURTS #fave #<- so i can look at this later. jesus christtttt #schreitricide #twig.txt #speaking.mp4

i think i just ate my entire leg’s worth of pasta. groaning like tina belcher

#fine my thigh. #jesus christtttt i made half the thing but i also added broccoli bc i was like yummy broccoli :) but. the only time ive added broccoli to #pasta is when i was making pasta for the whole family so i just instinctively added the whole package in there #and if this wasn’t gluten free pasta it’d be fine i’d just stick it in the fridge and eat it later but gluten free pasta gets SO gross #as leftovers so i just. powered through. should not have i’m in physical pain #also i’ve been watching bobs burgers. it’s fine

oh and im having a bit of a dilemma… basically lately (the past month or so) i started to hang out with my sisters friends, theyre generally all a bit older than me and theyre really nice and friendly so that great! a little after i first started hanging out with them one of the guys started texting me and at some point he alluded to us possibly going out just the two of us and i honestly wasnt interested in that so i just told him id be glad to hang out but i wasn’t looking for anything other than friendship,, just as a disclaimer lol. and that was true, i wasn’t looking for more but then i started hanging out with them more and more and another guy (v close friend of my sisters) started being particularly friendly and hes just such a ray of sunshine and i just started liking him and wanting to be around him and then last night things turned definitely more romantic than i expected they ever would tbh… and i am sitting here feeling like an asshole about the first guy and idk what to do,, also because the two of them are close friends 😬 maybe i should talk to the guy im seeing and hear what he says aaa things are about to get awkwardddd
