"So, we're innkeepers, then?"

"Thought we might give it a go."

POV DAVID JENKINS WHEN I FUCKING GET HIM:

[ringogoboots]

the queer rep in ofmd is spot on. after eleven episodes of blatant homoeroticism, two professions of love, one hook-up, and three breakups, these fucking guys are STILL calling each other "friend."

When Izzy first walked out I was worried that he would be made into a joke that the crew would laugh at

but then he started singing and the dancing began and I realized that he wasn’t meant to be a joke at all. This is the most open and happy we’ve ever seen Izzy and the show treated it that way. Not mocking him but instead celebrating this moment.

When we talk about queer representation it’s usually just focused on queer relationships, but what I love about this episode is it shows other sides of being queer. That moment where Izzy saw Wee John doing his makeup and had a realization that he wanted that too? That is what being queer means to me. The crew singing along and cheering for him? That is what being apart of the queer community means to me.

What i love about this show is that it shows queer joy, not in a sanitized way, but in away that is messy, beautiful, and without any mockery or shame.

I now must embark on my most treacherous journey yet (not spoiling the new ofmd episodes for my "normal" friends who didn’t get up at 2:00am to watch them)

[ringogoboots]

"edizzy is platonic" "edizzy is romantic" have you ever considered that maybe over the years the line between the two has become so blurred that it's ceased to matter? have you ever stopped to think that MAYBE their love for each other isn't transactional, that maybe it's just an unyielding care they share for one another (at times to their own detriment)? yeah, didn't think so. cuck.

absolutely 100% no hate to OP but like... they're not? I think a lot of the criticism surrounding season two (especially episodes 4 & 5) stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the story ofmd is trying to tell, especially in comparison to the first season.

while season one focused the majority of its attention on the more literal in-your-face happy-go-lucky pirate rom-com plot, a lot of the storytelling elements in season two require the viewer to really consider the metaphoric familial dynamics between the crew and their captains, how generational trauma can impact relationships, cycles of abuse, and so many other things that extend past what the viewer is explicitly told to think about. season two isn't just about reuniting the crew or even rekindling stede and ed's relationship. it's about rebuilding a family and learning how to let go, change, and be better not only for yourself, but for the ones you love. the reason a lot of people think the newer episodes are "dragging on" is because growing and changing for the better just isn't as action-packed as sailing the seven seas or whatever the fuck.

TDLR; they're not "hanging out," they're quite literally confronting the ghosts of their pasts and learning to live with the fact that they've done (in some cases irreparable) damage to those around them. thank you for coming to my TEDtalk.

Me watching the latest OFMD episodes: are they just…… hanging out now……
