since the trailer confirmed Lucius is alive my theory that he was kept buoyant by his wooden finger grows ever stronger
#look at where we are. look at where we started
STEDE & EDWARD ☾ OFMD 1.05 | 2.05
↳ @lgbtqcreators battleship bingo: parallels
You make Stede happy. / I'll never leave you. I'll never leave again.
‘the izzy antis must hate s2 lol lmao’ must we?? i got to see him get stabbed by stede and shot by ed mate i’m absolutely golden
When Ed says "no more booze, no more drugs, and most importantly no more stede." that is a different clip of him saying stede like it's edited together!!!! 💀💀💀
Just watched episodes 6&7 of our flag means death season 2
Um.
WHAT THE FUCK..
i love david jenkins so much, he really said “the gays won’t care about the logic of time and space so long as we give them pirates who kiss” and he was absolutely right. at this point ed could have his full beard back at the beginning of season two with no time jump at all and i would just say thank you. lucius could survive being thrown overboard due to the buoyancy of his wooden finger and i’d be like yup, makes perfect sense, no notes. i am willfully forgetting everything i’ve ever known for this show. i am not just suspending my disbelief, i am loading it into a cannon and blasting it to the heavens.
When I saw him so broken, I didn't know if I should be mad at Stede or Ed at this point but what the fuck goes on
Love how Ed plans to use Stede’s mangled corpse to free himself from piracy and Stede ends up using a mangled corpse to free himself from the part of the world he doesn’t want to be in anymore
I’ve seen and heard a lot of people saying they didn’t understand why Stede went back to Mary but listen. Just minutes before, we see Chauncey telling him that he messes up everything he does. Of course we know it’s not the best idea to go back. We know that it actually makes things worse— for him, for Mary, for Ed, for pretty much everyone but Izzy. But he doesn’t know that yet. Stede doesn’t know that him “ruining” things actually made them better for people. So he does the one thing he thinks will fix it. He goes back to Mary. This should fix his marriage, make his children happy, get Ed back to being the most fearsome pirate ever. Stede likes to do what he thinks is best for people… he’s just wrong a lot of the time
ok so normally i don’t make actual posts, but i’m so curious about the shark story izzy creates. like yes, it is removing edward’s part in maiming him but now he is placing the blame on himself solely.
he talks about dangling his legs over and the shark jumping up and snatching one and while i don’t remember the quote exactly, he did say he deserved it. so while he is taking away edward, he is basically saying a tainted a sea creature and got was he “deserved.” but instead of the kraken, it’s a shark.
i love izzy and have loved him since season 1, but i know a lot of people are upset about the lack of mention of the navy incident and i do hope it gets brought up again and i believe this story of his kind of opens a gateway for that conversation. since these past few episodes are so fast paced and the crew, while going through so much under blackbeard’s captaining, haven’t exactly had room for the blame discussion.
i’m glad that izzy’s bonding with the crew and am so glad he’s actually integrated himself with him now, but i do hope the navy thing does get brought up at least for some closure.
Stede and Izzy scenes cause it's actually a wholesome experience watching these two do their shit without Ed for the moment
#they will always come back to each other

Nigel and Chauncey getting stabbed/shot in the same eye.
Everyone blaming Stede when it was just an accident.

The parallel of Ed saying he could fake his death. And also that scene where he said he’d thought he’d have a cooler death than this. “Like being eaten by a tiger…”
And Stede faking his death with a jungle cat.

I think Mary and Stede really do love each other. Not in a romantic way of course. But they definitely love each other. In an unconditional, under the surface kinda way. They hated being with each other because they didn’t make each other happy in the roles that they were playing.
Them talking it through (as a crew).
I think that if they met under different circumstances and played different roles in each other’s lives, it would have been different. Good different. Really good different.
That’s where they’re going. They figured out why they made each other so miserable. And the fact that they want to make it right, to make each other happy. Shows that they love each other.
I like to imagine that they stay good friends. That Mary and Doug get married and have a good life together with the kids. The kids love Doug.
Stede goes off and finds Ed. They realize they love each other. They stay together. They sail the seas.
Every once in a while, they come back and visit Mary and Doug and the kids. The kids listen to them tell stories. Alma is fascinated. They take them on the ship.
Everyone is happy.

Stede not being cut out for the pirate life when he was on the ship out at sea, b e i n g a p i r a t e.
But Stede handling himself perfectly and being all feral and pirate-y while back on land. Him being able to talk about death without exploding. Him putting a knife to Doug’s throat without a second thought. The oomf. The oomf that Blackbeard taught him. The “Now that’s a fuckery.” LIKE COME ON

Not “Stede” getting crushed by a harpsichord in episode 10 after saying we must face the music when they were found by the Spanish.
I know it’s just an expression but that’s funny come on.
Vico Ortiz said on their tiktok that in an original draft, Jim’s favorite color was going to be purple, but it was changed to teal. There’s also a little detail of Olu’s earring being teal.
Stede and Ed are also shown in teal and purple.
I like the idea of Olu and Stede being teal. And Jim and Ed being purple.

The parallel of Stede at the beginning, leaving Mary and his family to sail the sea. Alone on this big ship with all his things. Nervous and scared about how he’ll fare as a pirate.
Then Stede at the end, leaving to find Ed and his home, where he belongs. Alone on this tiny boat with nothing. Confident and determined. Happy.

It’s not the kraken and the lighthouse. It’s the ship and the lighthouse !!!!!!!
Stede and Mary got married in front of the lighthouse, and they were told to be lighthouses to each other. Mary gave Stede and lighthouse painting for their anniversary. Stede gave Mary a ship for their anniversary. These little gifts represent who they are to each other. Stede is the lighthouse. Mary was supposed to be the ship, but she didn’t like it. She didn’t want it.
Stede goes off to sea, and he takes the lighthouse painting, and the model of the ship, and the ship itself. Along the way, he meets Ed.
Ed is fascinated by the model ship and the big ship. Instead of thinking it’s ridiculous like Mary and everyone did, he thinks it’s incredible.
When they realize the Spanish are into them, and they need a plan, they say, “We need to be lighthouses.” This goes back to choosing Ed over Mary. Except Ed isn’t the lighthouse. Stede is the light of the lighthouse which the Spanish avoided. Stede is still the lighthouse. You can’t have two lighthouses.
Everything happens, they get caught, Stede goes back to Mary, etc. Mary is living fine without Stede. As Ed said, you’re supposed to avoid lighthouses so you don’t crack up on the rocks. That’s what Mary did. She avoided Stede She wasn’t the ship that goes with Stede’s lighthouse. Ed is.
At the end we see Ed, a mess, looking at the lighthouse painting while on the ship. He went back to the ship. He chose the ship. He’s the ship. And he’s a mess because he didn’t avoid the lighthouse. He cracked up on the rocks.
By the time Ed realized he was the ship, he had already crashed.
Hope my rambling makes sense.
If you've seen the stills shared by Entertainment Weekly you must agree that this comm for bromelads has been a powerful manifestation :B
Babygirl and his new bff 🐰💕
Sssssoooooo. The trailer uhu?
My reaction to this video is just
Hey guys I did a thing.
I've been working on this since October, and I'm glad to say it's finally done. With a heavy heart I say I deeply love this show and am sad there's no renewal.
That being said, I figured we all deserve to have our own pity party. So here's my new OFMD FMV
