Guys if I get hunted down and my legs broken broken for sharing these photos just know I did it for the gays but here are photos I took of the ‘you wear nice things well’ scene and the deleted Lucius opium scene (although even this is different than what Nathan Foad described in terms of what they filmed for this scene so-)

And then the opium scene:

Those are the only photos I snapped of the scripts themselves (they were on an iPad) but i may go back this summer and if I do (hopefully they have the season two scripts) I’ll take more photos if these ones don’t get my kneecaps stolen :)

EDIT: thank you all for the well wishes but I will be fine (hopefully) worst case scenario the copyright holders get mad and ask me to take it down/I get a legal threat or somethin like that. Either way I’ll probably be fine I’m just being dramatic for laughs (although everyone’s concern really does touch my heart so thank you all 💗)

Now that I've ranted on the phone to my fam a bit, I'll just say this. I call utter bullshit here. I refuse to believe no other streamer wanted to make a deal - David implied as much when he said there were many complimentary meetings. This was Zaslav refusing to sell for anything but an insane price tag just like Coyote vs Acme. He knows it would be a hit anywhere else that was willing to fund and market it. And he'd rather sink our ship and take himself down with it than let it flourish and make his company look bad (as if it can look worse at this point).

So you know what? Fuck all this. This is the hill I'll die on. David may have waved the white flag but I won't. We were prepared for a marathon, not a sprint, and two months is not nearly enough for me to throw in the towel. I want to see WBD implode. I won't rest until we get something, anything - a movie, a graphic novel, a Samba's cell phone basement version of s3, I don't care. If streaming is dying, let us put that final nail in its coffin for what it did to us and so many others who have asked for so little and been spat at.

Make some fucking noise about this. It's not over until we say it's over. I love and respect David dearly, but I have a lot of fight left in me.

Quick word about DJenks tweeting the song "Candle in the Wind" (famously about someone dead before their prime) - there's no reason to think that DJenks would be teasing bad things. When we first got the news of the cancelation, it came with a prompt and thorough post letting us down easy. DJenks has shown nothing but love for this fandom and the renewal campaign - if he wanted us to stop, he would've said that, and he didn't.

Instead, he used a song that he's tweeted before about Lucius, pretending to mourn a dead character when we all knew he wasn't actually dead. Not saying it's anything, but it's not nothing. There's no reason to think that a creator, especially one who seems to care about the show and its fans as much as DJenks does, would try to tease bad news.

We're alright. He tweeted one song that he's used in connection with the show before and some emojis. He did not say anything of substance. No need to panic.

Mm thinking about how the scene where Ed finds the lovely letter Stede wrote him is intentionally about taking back queer narratives!

At the start of the scene, we see English soldiers reading it and laughing about it. "Some guy's all hot and bothered," the one reading it says. They act like it's a joke, like it's something to be laughed at. "Dear Ed, I long for you," he reads in this dramatic voice that sounds like he's barely able to hold back laughs.

And that's so often what queer love and desire is made into - just a joke.

And then it's not subtle at all - Ed fuckin' wastes those guys. He cares so little about them and their mockery of the love letter Stede wrote for him that he barely even looks at them.

The scene starts with these homophobic characters reading the letter like it's a joke, but then Ed takes it back and we get to hear that letter in both his and Stede's voices, with all the love and gravitas and sweetness it deserves. Their love, and this tangible representation of it, means so much to both of them, and we get to see that. And I love that, because yeah, these jerks talk about the letter like it's something to mock, but the show doesn't let them have a lot of space to do that before Ed takes it back and we get to see the letter for what it really is - heartfelt, and impactful, and a beautiful expression of queer love and desire.

It's a lovely scene.

who cares if people hate the show lol. my mom and dad like it. my dad's such a big fan of izzy he thought his full name was isaac. he put the show on repeat to help drive up the numbers. me and an irl friend went back and forth where I talked about it and then they talked about one piece. peace and love on planet earth 🫶✌️ people violently hating the show are such a teeny tiny minority of people who are aware of it. the normie opinion is that ofmd is good. the normie opinion is that taika is a good director and people like his projects. the normie opinion is being sad and confused that the show was cancelled. strangers on tumblr mean nothing to me when compared to my irl friends and family. don't give them the time of day. people who are actually in your life will be on your side.
