kristiannairn: So we wrapped on #OFMD last week. I’ve been away from home almost six months now, but not once did I feel a single bit lonely , thanks to the people I’ve met and family/crew I’ve made during this wild and crazy experience. I can’t wait for you all to see it, and I can’t wait til you meet the rest of the crew if you haven’t already. They are literally the best.. the BEST. never have i laughed so much and so hard :) Thank you @taikawaititi and @dvidjenkins for having me, and literally bringing me on board , and everyone else who worked on the show. I have so much love for you all. See you all on the high seas 🏴☠️
kristiannairn: So , I’m not gonna try to tag everyone in this video, because there’s a lot .. a lot of the best people ever. Thank you @sambaschutte for giving me this amazing memory to rewatch. This was my last day on S2. #crewlove
Pirates of tumblr, have you heard? @ SaveOFMDCrew is organizing a billboard in London to coincide with the UK airing of season 2 of Our Flag Means Death! We know a potential buyer is closely monitoring the UK reception of the show, so let’s make sure to show up!
Donate towards the billboard!
More info about the ads (twitter thread pictured above)
Meanwhile, be sure to stream the show on BBC iplayer and check out @ kristiannairn on insta for Wee John Wondays!
More BTS! The particularly exciting part about this post was Samba's words:
"Last scene of the season, it was a heavy one which required extreme focus and emotion, and I decided to clown around☠️ What were they gonna do, fire me?👀
#readtheroom #ourflagmeansdeath #ofmd #ofmdseason2"
A lot of folks are feeling like there are two important points in this message:
"Last scene of the SEASON" (vs series)
"I decided to clown around"

Needed more reasons to love Vico? They're a Good Omens fan as well!
== Don't Panic! ==
Many of you have probably heard about a lot of Our Flag Means Death Props being sold off at auction. Several crew-mates have made some excellent points as to why not to panic yet. I saw a tweet somewhere and now of COURSE I can't find it, but just a reminder, props are not the SET itself. The Set not being sold off is a huge plus, props come and go.
Thank you to @OFMDBingo42 and @cumulativehchaos for your thoughts and reassurances regarding this!
And a final note I whole-heartedly agree with from @chaotickraken91

Hey my darlings. As you can tell, today has been a very VERY long day. There is just SO MUCH going on. I don't know about you but it feels like something's building. Maybe it's just til OFMD's 2rd anniversary on Sunday the 3rd, idk, but i've got a good feeling.
Either way though, whatever that hype is, it's so nice to see everyone having fun and engaging so much. You are all so wonderful and deserve to smile and enjoy yourselves.
You are allowed to be loud and excited about things! In fact, please be! It makes us all excited too, and I love "seeing" you smile and in your element.
I'm off to bed, but I'll leave you with @thelatestkate's latest picture that's so very true. You deserve to be considered. You Count. Love you all.

drawn in honour of @saveofmd_crew 's amazing #coolpirates event, which took place across all their social media platforms. i was tasked with creating some neat #ourflagmeansdeath artwork! over three days, i posted some never-seen-before drawings, all inspired by your favourites from the show because it really is about belonging to something. 💜🏴☠️
this piece was inspired by the one, the only, the completely fabulous @kristiannairn !
queer representation is pretty far and few between in the modern, streaming world. even then, with the content that is on offer, it's difficult to find characters or witness scenarios that really grab you by the lapels and scream, "hey, look! this is you! isn't it beautiful and wonderful?!"
Well, 'Calypso's Birthday' not only grabbed me by the lapels and gave me a hearty shake, it also made me cry tears of joy and feel so safe and seen. for a total of 24 minutes, i saw characters with whom i related in terms of gender and sexuality, dance, sing, and love. i witnessed nothing but acceptance and pure queer joy. and goodness, do we need to see more pure, unadulterated queer joy on our screens.
as always, if you like my work, please consider buying me a ko-fi. i fully appreciate that we're in the midst of an economic crisis, so there is no pressure. 💜

I have so much love for you all. See you all on the high seas 🏴☠️
The INSANE amount of love, adoration and admiration I have for Kristian for doing this for TEN (!!!) weeks in a row, inviting the most wonderful people, knows no bounds!
Ending the Lives with the one and only, the king of kings, the showrunner extraordinaire and the most creative human being, David Jenkins was well worth staying up for (and being severly sleep deprived tomorrow)! That man’s mind is the most wonderful and insane thing and I will forever be grateful for his existence!!!
I love our little show and its people so very much!!!
[Image ID: screenshot of a tweet posted by @/kristiannairn. It reads: My lovely crew. Seriously, the minute I can talk about or repost all the amazing Calypso art, I will do so 100 percent. I´m loving it, and it means the world ! X #whatshappeningintowels? /End ID]
