while we’re on the topic… gentlebeard moomins

ACTUALLY its a show about an othered and misunderstood man who desperately wants to fuck the ocean overcoming adversity by transmogrifying into a seagull

I know we already appreciate the wigs but that is an amazing wig up close

TOP LEFT: a bouquet of 2 edelweiss (nudging toes!) 3 sprigs of lavender, and 6 stylized mini orange blossoms, wrapped in Ed's black cravat. TOP RIGHT: a baby kraken, stylized with Ed's Disney Princess eyes, carrying two of baby Stede's flowers. BOTTOM LEFT: a Bluesky dm screenshot that reads "1 - wildflower bouquet tied w/ a black bow (Ed's cravat) - I think a variety of ofmd-coded flowers: pandorea like baby Stede picks, lavender, starflowers like Ed's hair, orange blossoms, maybe edelweiss but that's pretty huge? Not all, obviously, just brainstorming possibilities. Or just generally dainty wildflowers. I know you've done a cravat-bow before on Lucius's rent-free Ed lily" BOTTOM RIGHT: a stack of three screenshots, from top to bottom: Bluesky dm "4 - a friendly/adorable kraken, like Ed learning to love the darkness within?" an email screenshot "I also love this idea of giving the kraken a little bouquet, especially because they resemble the flowers Stede picked as a boy" and an image of Stede as a young child (played by Theo Darby) holding a bunch of pandorea in his left hand and holding a single blossom up to his nose with his right with a delighted expression on his face

as a Pirate Camper, I took a sidequest for more #PermanentInk by Midwest Crew

Chicago Cool Kids (or folks visiting the Midwest US) are so lucky to have @trewpenny.bsky.social for sensory-sensitive collaborative designs — and when I couldn't pick, they kindly did both in one session!

Thanks, Tali!

so lovely to see these guys healed! 🥰🥰🥰

deftly done

Ive seen this maybe 50 times and have never noticed Swede hiding in the barrel and popping up and down before

could never be me

Gulliver’s Pizza. It was like wandering into a 18th century antique gallery/grotto/dilapidated palace where every surface was stacked with beautiful treasures and carvings and hundreds of antique chandeliers and shag lamps hung from the ceiling. Also you could get pizza.

then ep 8 is Republic of Pirates and the split, and 9/10 is a double ep finale where nothing is rushed, the mourning and wedding gets twice as much screen time, and it ends with Ed and Stede sharing a kiss on the porch and calling each other babe

The next morning, Ed wakes up in Stedes arms, Stede blinks awake, they smile dopily in the light and start kissing again, cut to Ed making breakfast so Izzy’s snark about making your bf blush was accurate. Ep 7 plays out as an afterglow filler ep

Torture scene, Lucius and Pete save the day, Ned dies, and the cabin scene plays out slowly and naturally, leading to the romantic first time in the script

season 2 ep 6, Stede and Ed sexual tension ep, fleeting glances, accidentally bumping into each other while everybody rolls their eyes, crew decides to have a party to get them to cut loose, doll Stede up and rip a few buttons off his shirt, Ned shows up AFTER they start to slow dance #ofmd #ofmds2

I knew in my heart this existed

its because they werent young buff and ashamed enough

+ just the veil

you can watch Helluva Boss in the mean time, imo its even the better show 😈

I really think half the trauma is that it didnt feel like an ending because the cast couldn’t say goodbye with us

ow owowowowOWOWOowowow

so this isn't a perfect edit bc i really don't know what i'm doing but i removed most of the music (other than a snippet of the song's vocals) so you can hear Ed sobbing more clearly 💔
🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 ohno oh fuck

thousand yard stare

the way this is word for word what my friend said when introducing me to his work

have you seen merstede today 🧜🏻‍♂️

Hi all~

As some of you know, for a while now I have been compiling an #OurFlagMeansDeath behind the scenes archive. It has consumed many, many hours of my life, but it's truly just been a labour of love. 🧵

Here is the link for #OFMD S1 bts

I was so consumed by OFMD's structure and writing that I had a murder board. ominousrabbit.com/the-anatomy-...

And we always will.
