I’m gonna deep breath through this disappointment and figure out how to turn poison into ✨ positivity ✨

there wasn’t anything ofmd did wrong. it’s a symptom of a bigger problem

there wasn’t anything the cast, crew or fans could have done differently

we have a show that treated its characters and audience with care, respect, understanding and love. it will never leave us

here’s to ed and stede running simultaneously the worst managed and most loving inn the world has ever known. and to the crew of the revenge who stop by to see their dads every year and relay to them the gutsy mishaps they found themselves in and “have you seen how many noses Spanish Jackie has???”. and to the quiet wind that rattles through the walls at night, that more than one guest swears sounded just like a hoarsely drawn out “twwwaaatttt” 🍻🫡

one of the few joys left in this late capitalist hellscape is escapism in media and TV execs are just intent on extinguishing that too.

like i fully just dont wanna watch anything new anymore bc chances are im gonna get left with half a story.

Idk why but Narj has the same vibes as an Infinity Train supporting character.

I mean come on. Look at him.

Not complaining btw. I love Infinity Train.

Anyway, this week on the podcast my co-host and our guest (both entertainment journalists) talked about Sundance and the lack of money in the industry right now, despite which Netflix is currently buying up a huge number of features and documentaries.

When I mentioned that Max "might be around next year," this provoked a good bit of laughter.

Your schadenfreude for the day.

i'm so sick and tired of streaming platforms cancelling queer shows after shows themselves so supporting and shit with said show for what? make more generic straigth-centred shows?

a few thoughts on ofmd

I had an absolutely shitty day yesterday and wasn't on socials, so when I came online and saw that one of my main sources of queer joy had been cancelled my 2024 just got that much shittier. Seeing all the tributes and new fan art on here is making me angrier at HBO Max.

Granted, the film & tv industry has always been a sausage factory, but with streamers you now have people who hate sausages & know nothing of how they're made churning out endless tons of substandard shit-laden product with no care for the result as long as it makes them rich. Instead of building a brand on a range of quality projects that can be profitable, critically acclaimed and popular, they'd rather wring every penny out of a handful of derivative IP because at heart they don't care about the creators who make their product or the audience. When this ends up affecting diverse queer media, it hurts even more because these kinds of shows literally have life-changing impacts for underrepresented creators and viewers. With our rights increasingly under attack that rep is needed more than ever.

Fandom will be fine - our joy and creativity and sharing lives on long after the source media has ended its run. But to cut a show like Our Flag Means Death prematurely in times like these is a deliberate choice and one we're seeing more and more. It's chilling and concerning.

Everyone’s reactions here to ofmd being cancelled are making me cry. No one is even fighting for these shows anymore, we’re just tired and angry. We’re tired of every queer show being cancelled. Angry that every show we hold special is being thrown away with no explanation. Ofmd does not deserve this, but we know from experience that we are ignored when we scream.

So, unkindly,

Fuck hbo max. Our flag means death was beautiful and you destroyed it.

#i’m distraught #this show was so incredibly special to me #it literally won an award like a week ago #it does not deserve this #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd season 3 #ofmd cancellation #fuck hbo #hbo max

thanks the goddess for fanfics. i'm so sad and i really hate the hbo new board (since hbo was bought by discovery they have made some atrocious decisions around many shows with a big damage to creators and fans).

but i see a pattern, which is giving me even more grief.

the two queer shows of this and last decade, ofmd and sense8, were cut short. and that's because queer joy is dangerous. Black, Brown and Indigenous joy is dangerous. autistic joy is dangerous.

that's because NOT perpetuating racism, lgbtq+phobia, toxic masculinity, sexism, colonialism; because bringing queer joy, bringing Black, Brown and Indigenous joy; bringing trans joy - it is a danger for the heteromatrix; it is a danger for whyte supremacy; it is disturbing the comfortable; it is comforting the disturbed; it is pushing the semantic field of "possible", "expectable" and "thinkable".

Our Joy Is Revolutionary.

so thanks the fandom writers for the fanfics, because they are awesome.

support your favourite fanfic writers.

secure your access to the show; if you can, give your thanks to the creators for giving us this joy; take care of yourself and your community; allow yourself to feel loss and grief.

credit where it's due: i picked up the revolutionary joy take long ago in one of Asiatu Lawoyin's posts on their ig. they are a Black, disabled, AuDHD, ND+, trans, queer, abolitionist educator and coach and i encourage all of you to check them out.

Because of the new Velma show, some people are now saying there should be less minorities in media. The world is devolving people and we have hollywood trustfund rightwinger babies like Mindy to thank for it.
