Can I also say how touching it is that Stede said he believed Ed would he happier without him, who, even in his fantasies, could only picture Ed wanting him as a picture of masculinity with a beard and no hesitation to kill. Stede still, deep down, doesn't understand why Ed would ever want him as he is.

But who did Ed see coming down to rescue him? It wasn't a manly recreation of Stede with a beard, masculine style and a killing spirit, it was a merman. Someone bright, colourful, by all accounts a rather feminine perception of Stede.

That was who rescued Ed. It wasn't who Stede thought he needed to be, it was someone soft, and bright, and graceful, and expressive. Someone feminine, someone queer.

I just think that's beautiful.

I just want us to remember for a second that Rhys actually did this FOR REAL -

no CGI, he actually put on a huge silicone mermaid tail made with 5kgs of glitter and 3000 scales and swam in it, with no prior training because he somehow ALREADY KNEW how to swim like a merperson?? Like he’d been practising his whole life?? And then he managed to give the most loving, perfect look right on cue:

Taika is amazing in this scene as well obviously, but I think about Rhys in that tail all the time, being dumped into the water tank from a wheelchair because that was the only way to get him in. I love it.

I had started this before we got the news about cancellation. This is Ed giving up his land legs to be with MerStede.

I hope these gay mermaids give you some comfort in these trying times.

I love OFMD with my whole heart and am glad we even got 2 seasons. This show inspires me to make art but also to be unapologetically queer.

Thank you David Jenkins and the whole Our Flag crew ❤️

they used betta fish as reference for merman stede's tail in ed's dream and i made the terrible decision of looking up the symbolism of this fish now i don't know what to do with what i discovered (i'll probably kms or something like that)
