#buttons is a sea witch

[thatonelostgirl-blog1]

Maybe buttons could resurrect Izzy??? Idk I'm in denial and shock. This can't be it. There has to be more. Please please please.

@deskgirl I did it! I’m not sure this was what you envisioned here, but I had to put the magical sea gull and sea witch as the supreme beings 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The only reasons I can think of for Frenchie being completely cut out of the shot during Izzy's death scene:

He was so overcome with grief that he excused himself so the trauma box would not burst open

He went running to grab Auntie's spellbook and flipped to "reversing death" and "summoning sea witches"

The way I was lowkey not entirely wrong about this???

Our Flag Means Death S2 – Impossible Birds & Red Flags

[neurosiscocktail]

Okay so here’s my pitch for the season 3 cold open-

We open to a close up of Stede’s face, he’s clearly concentrating, he’s sweating a little, and covered in blood. It’s pretty clear as we pan out to a shoulder shot that he just killed someone. He looks very sexy about it.

We switch to a close up of Ed’s face, sweaty, clearly has just been fucked. Maybe his top button is done up wrong. Who knows.

The shot pans out and we start hearing their conversation. They are outside the inn, digging up Izzy (stick with me)- they’re talking about how silly they feel for just now realizing this is the problem- OF COURSE Izzy has been so mad, they didn’t bury him with his ring! How silly of them! And they didn’t even notice until someone tried to rob them and Stede killed the robber (and they fucked about it). THAT must be why Izzy won’t stop haunting them. They tuck the ring into his breast pocket and start to rebury him.

Next shot- we find out that they think Izzy has been haunting them because of a the ~weird happenings~ at the Inn. The haunting does not stop after they bury the ring. This part of the episode starts very creepy, real horror movie vibes. However, we find out through the course of the episode that what they think is a haunting is just two whim prone chuckleheads with no experience running an Inn.

“All of the produce mysteriously went bad!” - Stede, whose experience with food preparation is putting marmalade on toast just left them too close to the fire and the heat did what it does to produce.

“The room keys keep going missing!” Nope. Ed simply cannot remember where he put them.

“The desk bell keeps ringing at night but there is no one there!” It’s buttons the seagull fucking with them.

They both think they’re responsible for the haunting and having a crisis about it. Idk, dealers choice about what they feel guilty about.

They are losing their fucking shit over this haunting. Maybe Izzy shows up once or twice in a Badminton style memory ghost.

We pan back to The Revenge. It’s a total parallel to what happened with the red suit.

They also think they are being haunted by Izzy.

The word “twat” keeps appearing carved into random places aboard the ship. Frenchie’s peanut allergy is back full swing. They keep sailing into storms by accident. Etc

They set sail for the Inn, desperate to ask Ed to control the ghost of his dead best friend or burn the body, anything to get rid of this fucking ghost.

It’s Jim fucking with them and dumb luck. (Except for the storm thing, it’s just impossible for anyone to read the weather as well as Ed)

They all meet up at the Inn, and now we have a Scooby Doo style episode where the ghost was the friendship and character growth we made along the way.

And then for an extra layer of comedy, maybe at the end of the season we see Izzy’s ghost just sort of old man loitering around the ship because he didn’t want to leave what I am affectionately deeming his kids.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

So the fact that The Little Mermaid, a tragedy about unrequited love, is being alluded to in a story about reciprocated love between two men has me so emotional. Powerful scene.

“there’s no version of ofmd without izzy” “izzy is going to come back as a ghost in s3” *rattling the bars of my cell* what about buttons. WHAT ABOUT BUTTONS!!!

[ohmyglobwhatthefrickamievendoing]

Me chanting "it's a comedy it's a comedy it's a comedy" with a big smile as tears pour down my face, waiting for izzy to just pop back up and be completely fine

because he got his leg chopped off and was completely fine and ed got beaten to a pulp and was completely fine and stede got stabbed and hanged and was completely fine goddamnit

what was the point????

i'd get it if they killed izzy off earlier but now? after he started opening up? after he started forming a family? after he & ed started healing? after he & stede started finding common ground?

if it's to kill off all the parts of blackbeard then why do it after izzy started moving on and finding himself away from blackbeard, why not let him move forward with his new family?

if it's because he'd never be fully over Ed and their weird dynamic means they can never be parted from from each other then i dunno build a room over gentlebeard's garage for him or something, let him walk in and be snarky about their sex life

They also had the chance to be so funny and have Izzy do his whole deathbed confession thing because he thought he was dying only for him to later wake up completely fine and have to live mortified with the knowledge that he was emotionally vulnerable in front of everyone

anyway fanfic writers you're my only hope

tldr: they should have killed izzy before they went out of their way to make me care about him because now i'm suffering

Like not only is the show gay as fuck - it’s queer, kinky, silly, sweet, and soft. But it’s violent and dark and deep too. It’s a show about trauma and healing and community. It’s about being capable of change and growth, of finding our truest self. But most of all it’s a show about love in all it’s beautiful and chaotic forms. AND A MAN TURNS INTO A SEAGULL

[flynnandsteel]

I'm rocking with Zheng Yi Sao's aunt because "sea witch" is undoubtedly the most accurate description of Buttons.

[your-friendly-sleep-demoness]

so can we all just be delulu and pretend that the seagull that landed on izzy's grave is buttons who will magic our wet cat man alive again?

[danglingthpider]

Goat Buttons confirmed. He had to work his way up to seagull

He probably came back to ask if they had any other vessels, then realised no one could understand him in goat form.

cracking up about the fact that the first season of ofmd had a substantial part of the fanbase obsessed with Taika's disney princess eyes - so for season two they went "Oh you want EYES? I'll give you eyes! Hold my trident-"

ofmd fanservice is just built different
