A Comparative Guide to OUR GOOD SHADOWS

A simple guide for queer (masc) people in search for some new show to watch!

23/08/29 UPDATE! - I've added Leverage and another question to the table.

List of series for future updates.

I hope you find this useful or at least entertaining, I thought of it while lying in bed half awake at 8am :)

I have to pause it and scream each time

Me when something LGBTQ+ happens in the LGBTQ+ series with the LGBTQ+ characters that I watch because they are LGBTQ+ and have LGBTQ+ characters: 🤯

new bts from OFMD writer Simone Nathan: “Been laughing about these for a full calendar year. Art dept on #OurFlagMeansDeathS2 were simply beyond”

I cant believe i just had a discussion with a guy saying that was denying the fact that Izzy is in part responsible for Ed’s legacy as pirate 😭 like:

1. It was always said in the series that Izzy is responsable for cleaning Ed’s mess

2. It was said by stede in E5S2 that izzy taught Ed everything he knows as captain

3. The noseless prince said that Izzy deserves as fame as Ed For being a pirate

4. In the last episode Izzy said they are both Blackbeard

5. Izzy is feared and know in all the republic of pirates

Like come on dude what show were you watching

[apunkapplepie]

Get it and its a pretty interesting interpretation but although we all know that Izzy and Stede are two little sarcastic bitches i don’t think thats what the scene meant, first Stede wouldn’t never laugh at Ed’s condition or use it in one of his bitchy statemnts

Also Stede was actively searching for a mentor, as Ed just said to him a scene before that he needed to practice more on how to be a captain, cause if stede just wanted someone to teach him how to be a pirate he would have asked Jim.

Implying that Stede went for Izzy and delivered that line means that the thought process from stede was something like “i need to learn how to be a captain, ill go for the crazy little man that drove my bf crazy because… idk he know how to sword fight?”

Ok so now that I have a David Jenkins interview calling Izzy daddy to wave in people's faces when they come at me for this, I can talk about the staging (said with perverted glee).

So these two scenes are both a domestic spat and they're both staged interestingly similarily. So the scene is set up with the same basic blocking. We've got a mean guy yelling and throwing things on one end. We've got the person he's yelling at on the other, in the middle we have a window and a bed. And the window is slightly closer to Ed/Mom. But it's mirrored so that Ed stands on the left and Izzy stands on the right, closer to the bookshelf. In both of these scenes we get Izzy/Dad yelling, Ed/Mom responding in a small voice, and then Izzy/Dad throwing something, and then advancing in a similar sort of stomping aggressive manner, and then ending the altercation by heading for the door. Like the staging is weirdly similar. the one space where Ed and Izzy diverge from Ed's parents in their blocking, is when Ed chokes him. And at that moment is actually reminiscent of A DIFFERENT SCENE with Ed's dad, due to the presence of the light house.

That big light in the background, knowing this show, is almost certainly a lighthouse. Which means, both of these moments are of daddy being choked by the kraken in front of a conspicuously placed lighthouse.

Conclusion: Is Ed mommy? Is Ed baby? Is Ed a monstrously oversized cephalopod? it is unclear, perhaps he's a bit of all three, but what is clear is that Izzy is definitely daddy.

I totally share your interpretation of the father figure thing okey? But after Izzy saying “yeah Ed says lots of things” he ask “what did he say exactly” as an: well lets see if something of what he said can be saved. After Stede says the captain thing Izzy nod as saying: well that part is true

Im not saying that Izzy was there since Ed was a little kid just after he killed his father, i’m saying he taught him how to be great as a pirate and then Ed supass him

There’s a difference between Ed’s ability to the fuckery and his ability as a captain/pirate/fighter what Stede claims in that scene is that Izzy is a taught him how to be a captain but Ed exceed all that and become the crazy tactic genius he is

Yeah… no, we don’t have prove that he lied but we have prove that Izzy agreed with what Stede said cause he wouldnt accept that unless it was total truth, we know from his speech that Izzy doesnt care about glory or fame

The problem here is that im basing what im saying in a canon quote from Stede and a canon reaction from Izzy (nodding) meanwhile you are basically saying that “you THINK Stede said that to gas izzy up” and that izzy reacted like that was a lie (although he as i said nodded in agreement)

But yeah i don’t mind that you have a different interpretation of the scene, their relationship was so complicated it cant be interpretated in many ways but that wont change jenkins himself said that Izzy was his father figure
