#brain really said no u DON'T get to stop thinking about ur blorbos that shit is FULL TIME

[ourflagmeansgayrights]

man by the nature of the circles i follow i generally don't see a lot of takes from izzy stans, but both the notes of the post you reblogged and the original twitter thread just make them look like their izzy brainworms have destroyed their reading comprehension and situational awareness. 'hehe there's two ways u could take that' clearly only one was intended. 'ur so right izzy is fucking blackbeard and he can build a pillowfort' YOU'RE SO EMBARRASSING. the show's creator is annoyed enough to actually voice some push back against the racist idea that history's greatest tactician needs this wet purse dog of a man to do basic tasks. these people really said 'i'm gonna ignore the actual issue being pointed out here and make this about my blorbo and my ship instead' and i don't know how anyone like this is gonna get through season two when they find out izzy isn't the main character they think he is.

ok tbh as amused as i am at the interpretation of that tweet as david jenkins getting so annoyed abt people thinking ed is an incompetent imbecile and is tweeting “ed knows how to build a blanket for on his own for fuck’s sake” i dont actually know how much of The Discourse david’s seen or if he’s aware of how many ppl genuinely believe shit like “izzy is the brains behind blackbeard.” it’s possible he just logged onto twitter and saw that tweet at the top of his mentions or whatever (idk how twitter works) and was just casually like “wtf obviously ed can build a fort by himself” and it’s not meant as an @ at any particular fans. and quite frankly i wouldnt want it to BE an @ at any fans. as toxic as parts of this fandom are, if david or any other showrunners started directly @ing people like “hey your headcanon is racist” it would only make shit worse. if i was a writer for ofmd i frankly wouldve stopped looking at ofmd twitter after a month bc it got so choked with rampant racism and it would make me go insane. like i hope jenkins et al have some distance from the fandom discourse for their own sake.

BUT ANYWAY about the izzy fans. as much as i personally am an ed stan first and a human being second i DO understand why izzy fans would make the joke abt “oh so youre saying izzy is having sex with blackbeard AND he knows how to build a blanket fort?” and i also think the majority of izzy fans KNOW theyre making a silly joke. like they know what david is actually saying. as far as im aware Not All Izzy Fans are the type to believe the “izzy is the brains behind blackbeard” headcanon so im not gonna assume every fan making this joke are doing so to intentionally downplay/ignore ed’s intelligence. i think a lot of them are just making a joke abt their favorite blorbo and while yeah i think the main focus should be on MY blorbo and how smart he is, this joke is so low on the list of shitty things ive seen izzy fans do that im basically just like. eh. whatever. definitely SOME of the ppl making this joke are the type to think ed is stupid and who warp the whole show to focus on izzy but i have no idea who or many so im not gonna worry about it. the joke is kinda annoying to me but im ALSO kind of stretching the tweet jokingly to be like “David Jenkins HIMSELF said that izzy is a useless first mate” (which i DO believe, but im not gonna use this tweet as proof that dj himself confirmed it)

that being said i dont think it’s a funny joke bc izzy obviously has never gotten laid before in his life and also izzy’s never experienced any joy so he obviously DOESNT know how to build a fort. and also of course youre right that there are izzy fans who will not be able to cope with the next season of the show not treating izzy like a special little main character but again this tweet is a single line from david abt a silly headcanon im not gonna get mad at ppl for not using it as a talking point abt racist fandom discourse. idk if david meant that line to be lighthearted or not so im not gonna take it too seriously except to say that ed’s blanket fort had better structural engineering than half the boats he’s ever raided. if the Revenge came under attack or if a huge storm blew through, stede’s cabin would be a disaster but the blanket fort would be completely unharmed

I know you’ve kinda talked abt this before but I’m thinking abt it so hard so I just wanted to share: our emotionally inept, social cue missing adrian x frustrated nobody really understands they’re struggling but is too embarrassed/scared to reach out for support reader EXCEPT Adrian has spent so much time studying their body language and the way they act and what they laugh at/get mad abt etc. etc. because he’s so infatuated with them that he gets them perfectly to the point where it’s almost creepy/stalkery, but like—just the thought of him caring abt you and getting you THAT well when he’s known for not being able to pick up on things UGHHH IM REELING 💕 His unawareness is very very cute and I’m not saying he loses that at all cause he is a dumbass at his core but just 💘 mmm…blorbo :) (Additionally: Pre-relationship, Chris telling him it’s weird he knows so much abt their mannerisms that he doesn’t try to get involved even when he notices they’re acting different cause he’s embarrassed abt it (in his own weird way cause, yknow, he “doesn’t have emotions like people do”) until he genuinely can’t stand to see them suffering in silence anymore GRRR IM GONNA GNAW MY ARM OFF I LOVE IT)

Not necessarily a request, especially if it’s too specific (wasn’t sure if it would be, if it is then pls just enjoy the idea!!) but if u wanted to write something/had any ideas to expand on this at all pls…type away. Doesn’t have to be exactly what I said ofc, not at all, but anything along the lines of the main idea I said in the first part would have me swooning, I’m sure :) Hope ur day is going well and regardless of what u decide to do, enjoy my brain vomit and lmk ur thoughts 💕 don’t stress urself out too much!! Much love 💘

NO YES I LOVE THE INTENSITY OF THIS THIS IS SO SO GOOD I LOVE YOUR BRAIN VOMIT

you're so nice to me also reading the words "don't stress urself out too much" was nice i feel very warmed

but YES YES YES i love very intense adrian who gets like Too Intense but that's just how your dynamic is and you know him so you're like yeah that's adrian. like you accept it and he's way too much and maybe other people think he's jackshit insane and off the wall bonkers but you love that shit about him

chris telling him it's weird and then adrian getting embarrassed but he STILL CAN'T STOP TRYING TO DEFEND YOU BECAUSE HE CAN'T STOP NOTICING YOU AND YOU CAN'T STOP NOTICING HIM AND RESPONDING IN KIND BECAUSE YOUR KIND OF FREAK MATCHES HIS KIND OF FREAK

WOW OKAY YES MUCH LOVE I'M MELTING OUT MY OWN EARS
