Goth dork screaming about OFMD from the safety of my brainrot containment area. Queer 30s fic writer/reader, double threat. 🔞 (she/they) Banner

Are we forgetting his little rope swing maneuver when introducing himself to the crew? The fake toots and general goofery at the fancy boat party? The man is capable of UNTOLD levels of cringe, the fact that he is a devastating smokeshow does not change this 😂
seeing ppl say they're ignoring the back tattoo as canon oh you guys don't understand the deep seated cringe of edward blackbeard teach. he's in his late 40s & still shopping at hot topic, he loves to XD when texting, he slides down the railing when there's only 2 steps left
SCREAMING forever, look what

Thank you SO MUCH Liz and Ram, this is WONDERFUL!! 🥰😍
Ever end up on Etsy and find something that is just…just SO specific to the cross-section of thoughts in your head that you have to sit and stare off into the middle distance for a bit? Yeah. 👽🏴☠️🏳️🌈🗡️
I am asking, humbly and with nothing but love in my heart, for
@OurFlagOnMax
to release blooper reels for both seasons of OFMD at some point. Think of all the joy it will bring. Thank you for your consideration 💜
i don’t understand how people say the first 3 episodes of ofmd aren’t funny as if stede bonnet trying to push an entire ship back into the ocean by himself isnt peak comedy
kinda convinced that hornighost's costume (assuming he's a figment of ed's imagination) is inspired by a christmas carol. like, does this not scream nautical jacob marley to you?? if that's true too there's so many implications about his purpose story wise and i'm eating it up
NEW THOUGHT: remember Stede's "ghost" Nigel thing in ep2?
And the tribe elder said "Everything is coming from you. Until you resolve this guilt, you'll continue to be haunted. But there is no ghost 'cause they don't exist"?
VERY interesting potential Hornighost implications 👀

LITERALLY this. Do you know how much TV I’ve watched in my life? SO MUCH. Not a single other show I’ve seen in the last 15 years lit my brain on fire so hard I developed a whole new hobby (I did NOT write before) and inspired me to make friends on the internet about it 🏴☠️🏳️🌈💜
I have consumed so much media in my 40 years on this earth.
What is it about these 2 idiots that means I can't bear for them to be apart?
What gave them the right to set up home in my brain and never leave??
Oops, my fingers slipped. Here’s 8.5k words of, and this is a direct quote from a beta reader, “literally the brattiest Stede I’ve ever read” just in time for

Went to pick my car up from the repair place and the guy ringing me up saw my 'created by David Jenkins' keychain and was like "HELL YES, nice keychain" and I was like "YOU TOO, HUH?" and then we bonded about

for like five full minutes 🏴☠️🎉
It just occurred to me that Roach cares so much about the oranges because he is both the cook AND the ship's medic. He, like, double cares about them on a professional level.
Accommodations are rustic, but that’s a beach getaway for you. Proprietors are charming but I do wish they’d build an accessory guesthouse. (Bring earplugs.)
Not sure what the ouija board is for, but it keeps spelling out ‘twat?’
Also, suspicious bird activity

My level of delulu is that I just assume OFMD S3 is happening until I hear definitively otherwise. Only time will tell how rude my awakening will be—in the meantime, I’ll just be over here honking my clown nose 💀🤡🎉

Hello, I am currently sipping an absinthe cocktail at a “secret” vampire speakeasy in New Orleans in a black velvet dress before my evening appointment to get fitted for custom fangs. Inner child Jenn won HARD today, friends 💀💀
"Who ARE you again?" has such strong parallel energy to "Where's your ship and crew? You'd think a REAL pirate would have those."
I fear we may be collectively sleeping on Louis' capacity for sass.
No, but can we talk about how sapphires Ed rolled up to Stede like “I’m going to rock this hot nerd’s world” & then the MOMENT the script flipped, he discovered a wellspring of love within him that he never knew existed and it overwhelmed him in the most lovely & joyous of ways??
40% budget cut on S2?? After the debut season they had?? After the fanbase that emerged and the numbers they got?? After S1 got short-listed for a goddamn Peabody award??
The disrespect, holy shit 🤬🤬
no wonder they were trying to rush emotional beats & fit everything they could into that last episode (for better or worse). if i was told my show was getting a FORTY PERCENT budget cut for its second season, i'd easily assume there'd be no third.

The cute, tattooed, very gay hostess at my local burger joint showed me a picture of her dog after I complimented her rainbow overalls and asked if I was going to the roller derby event at the restaurant tonight—I’m a character in a SMAU now, right? 😂
Hey all: I got laid off on Friday (last week was sooooo cool for me) and have been doing that thing where I’m fine—REALLY—but also, I sometimes have to retreat into a hole with no warning for a lil sulk? Love you all, I’ll be around when I can and when my head’s back on right 💜
Please, this man is a LOSER (affectionate) who just happens to look very cool and sexy in leather. Stede and Ed are cringe4cringe and I will die on this hill 😤

Right? I feel like a lot of that b-plot must not have fit in the eps because it felt like a REALLY sudden shift from “wearing garlic necklaces and dancing with Jim and Archie” to “actually, he’s been pining over Zheng the whole time as well.” YOUR TIMING IS SO BAD OLU holy smokes
No fewer than five consensual forehead smooches to this gif maker for capturing this moment. Even in a dream sequence, the overwhelm, the disbelief, the DESPERATE joy and relief when Stede saw Ed again, I just— 🥹🥹🥹

YES thank you!! I was trying to find the words to describe it and why it was so funny and all I could come up with was “Ed’s on his ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ bullshit right now, huh?” 😂

One year ago, I shared my first fanfic on AO3, the first fiction I'd written since college. Since then, I've posted 40 stories—350k+ words!—and made so many INCREDIBLE friends all because these goofy pirates wouldn't leave me be.
I love yinz so much—THANK YOU for being so rad 🥰
"He falls in love with Blackbeard, the pirate he thought he wanted to be. In his quest to emulate his hero, whom he perceives to be tougher than him, he finds a man who loves him for the ways he is soft." BRB WEEPING
"Escaping from a white-collar life of obedience in favor of, well, I guess, queer piracy [...] may be unappealing on its face. But when the former no longer offers longevity or safety, the lure of adventure is obvious."
