TWO YEARS, NINE MONTHS AND TWELVE DAYS after #OFMD's (untimely, unfair and overall stupid and shifty) cancellation we are still HERE, alive...
... and kicking the (glorious) asses of The Hockey Gays™️ in a poll so tight no amount of lube would be enough!!!
God, I love us!!! #LongLiveOFMD #OFMD

The window is also visible behind Ed's blanket fort 2.0 moment later in ep3.

There was another false wall out here, too, that was throwing me off, because the only thing outside that door is the hallways and the staircase. But the exterior shots established this as a single-storey house, so the view of the staircase had to be blocked.

There are distinctive windows at the front of the house that you can see behind Ed and Stede in this scene; LOTS of set dressing was done to add in more curtains (and control light) and bring Anne and Mary's antique chaos inside. BTS from Megan Vertelle; cameo from @dimsimkitty.bsky.social 😌

Okay if you saw my post earlier re the inn, we were just out of position, but we cross-checked the details and found our way to the right location. More pics tomorrow in daylight, but for now, @asyouwish311.bsky.social's lantern boys sitting on the actual site of the inn 😍

I really love the interview with @neverleftpodcast.bsky.social about OFMD's music. So worth watching @spenglernot.bsky.social's video about music themes too!

Sharing the video link with my frames - a little Yayoi tribute and a comic book panel. Check out the website too, it is amazing!!

Frame in the style of Japanese artists Yayoi Kusama. Minimalist in color, maximalist in detail? Comic book style panel of OFMD's Stede Bonnet grabbing Ed Teach (team Belly 4ever), represented in the moment that Ed realizes that, yes, actually, he would very much like to get railed into next week. Featuring lyrics from the Etta James classic At Last (we were robbed!! #iykyk).

I left it unsaid, but I DO want to say that OFMD's fandom has never been worse than any other. My worst experiences here have been up to external harassment (I assume, since it was anonymous), me being in the way of someone's mental health episode, and past abuse that was reflected in the show.

I've told this story a lot, but too bad, here it is again. I didn't delurk in Jan 24 because of OFMD's cancellation. It was because a fic I followed updated with a scene so powerful that I couldn't get it out of my head—I had to Art about it. So thank you, writers. You gave me a reason to art again.

OFMD's wait wasn't even that long but the fandom seem to have been really creative and active. I went into watching it already knowing it was cancelled after S2 and that it didn't end on a heartbreaking cliffhanger (but no more).
I loved it and was astonished to find out how many fans hate S2!

We need to play around w/ Buttons ofmd's true form. Maybe he's a giant, horrible monster like demons from The Good Place or something utterly inconceivable like The Summer Hikaru Died. Buttons agonizingly ripping a piece of bone from his vessel's chest to impart it to Izzy to keep him alive hmmm

I didn't make it to a coverall bingo, but I did get 3 bingos, and I think that's doing pretty rad for me <3 excited to keep slowly picking away at this over the next couple weeks!!

The fic I read today to tick a few boxes off was Tansy Soup by Langerhan - a Zheng and Jim-centric Garlic Soup fic set post-canon. It's a fantastic hurt/comfort fic (read the tags tho pls for the theme)!!

The Archie fic I read today for another box on my #GarlicSoupWeek bingo card was Snakes and Shrouds by @clairegregoryau.bsky.social!! It's a fantastic exploration of Archie's backstory, and gave me so many feels about life.

“OFMD's LGBTQ+ representation and exploration of identity hit different because it portrays queer relationships without the typical dramatization often found in other media.”

Over a year after cancellation, #OFMD is STILL considered one of the best shows on Max 🤭

geekspin.co/13-hbo-max-s...
Our Flag Means Death This period comedy series follows the adventures of Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby), a pampered aristocrat who abandons his life to become a pirate, eventually crossing paths with the infamous Blackbeard (Taika Waititi). Why It's Worth Your Time: It's a delightfully quirky take on the pirate genre, blending historical elements with modern sensibilities. Our Flag Means Death's (2022-2023) LGBTQ+ representation and exploration of identity hit different because it portrays queer relationships without the typical dramatization often found in other media.

My beloved Sarge (and OFMD's John Bartholomew) Maaka Pohatu is in it as well! He posted a clip on IG.

I love, LOVE OFMD's Stede Bonnet. And I don't think anyone else but Rhys could have made me love him. I've got too much baggage to even *like* a Stede Bonnet, but Rhys made me sympathize and empathize with his Stede.

I think a lot abt this from OFMD's @david_jenkins__ re his writer's room (& not just bc I swooned over his ready use of my fave-rave concept, the sociological imagination)

“I think you need the sociological imagination of a well-rounded room, so that you can create something
