Underappreciated OFMD thing: Wee John always has a place to sit.

I love that Kristian was accommodated during filming. I love that Wee John can be an active part of the crew without being on his feet at all times. Trust Stede Bonnet to have a ship that's more accessible than half of the concert venues I've been to.

Hopefully how we find them a few years down the line 💖

when I see something dated 2019 I think “oh that’s not too long ago” and then I remember that 2019 was not only five years ago but those five years have somehow contained several lifetimes

As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can't argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.

In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.

David Jenkins’ three words to describe Stede and Ed from his new interview with Awards Radar (x)

[newnewyorker93]

cackling at this, can NOT believe it's a real, actual quote. it reads so much like one of those clickhole pieces

[newnewyorker93]

also if that's how ed talks sober imagine what happens after getting some wine in him. tipsy stede giving tipsy ed physically impossible heart eyes while ed talks for 2 hours straight.

ways of a gentleman

if you don‘t personally own one but your roommates/parents do and you are allowed to use it, that counts as yes

Blackbeard, one of the most feared pirates in the Caribbean, is confirmed to be a catboy.

Frenchie: This is making so much sense

[newnewyorker93]

attack cats!

like i know we already know this but they’re best friends. yes they’re in love and wildly attracted to each other and are probably having weird sex (affectionate) right now but before all of that existed and after all of that is gone they are and always will be best friends who just want to talk and play together

Raise your hand if you have also been personally victimized by the barometric pressure changes 🥲

There is something about proudly proclaiming a show "tumblrista catnip" that makes me emotional.

Something about how for years tumblrinas were ridiculed by show creators.

Something about Supernatural having a meta episode set at a convention with all the weirdo fans that made the main characters uncomfortable. Something something about Becky and the message that fangirls are gross and obsessive.

Something about Sherlock and the way fans were portrayed as crazy obsessive nutjobs for trying to figure out how he faked his death.

Something about creators mocking fandoms, dismissing them as freaks. Something about queer people not being welcome to engage in their creations because "why do you have to make everything gay?"

Something about the malicious culture of queerbaiting throughout the 2000s/2010s, followed by Bury Your Gays tropes across the media landscape because hell, you should be grateful we even gave you queer characters to begin with - and everyone dies in our show! You ain't special!

Something about Destiel questions being banned from conventions...

And then...

Something instead about Good Omens, and letting the story adapt naturally, embracing the fanbase and leaning into the fanservice.

Something about Our Flag Means Death, and the genuine outpouring of love and affection between cast, crew, and fandom that culminated in an explosion of fanworks that were never once mocked or deemed gross or wrong.

Something about Sandman, and staunchly digging in their heels on the queerness of it all, refusing to give in to the homophobes and instead avidly mocking THEM on social media rather than us.

Something about the writers hearing about fandoms favourite ships and excitedly stating that YES! We DID lean into that because it happened naturally and made sense.

Something about a firefighter coming out as bisexual after 7 seasons...

So yeah, something about a new high quality show made FOR US. By creators that love US. Respect US, and WANT our love.

Something about US FINALLY being a target audience for the best shows being made on TV now.

Tumblrista catnip. Creators saying "we made this for you. You are important. Your voices have been heard."

It just... all got a bit overwhelming for a moment there.
