Feeling like all I want in life is a boxset of OFMD. I want S1 and S2 DVDs.

I want to own it, so that even if (when) Max decides to get rid of it, I know I can always watch it. I want to be able to watch it if my internet’s being weird, or lagging. I want to know that no matter what, I can revisit the characters who mean so much to me.

I want to be able to celebrate Calypso’s Birthday by throwing on the episode and hanging up some tacky decorations. I want to know that they can’t be taken away from me, not again. That the story that matters so much to me, a story of acceptance and compassion - a truly impactful story of self-acceptance above all else - I want to know that it will always be there for me. ugh.

hear me out,

total drama but it’s a 1970s, 24 hr loop, all of the kids live in a home together to try and not get found by the outside world. they all have different paranormal abilities and are known as Peculiars

oh and it’s a miss peregrine’s home for peculiar children au

what do we think

[usercelestial]

can't stop thinking about characters who are dogs. like characters who bark and growl. who bite the hands that feed them and that get mean when they're nervous like bad dogs, who can't help gnawing at a good thing until it bleeds. characters who are loyal and possessive and protective but reckless and feral and rabid. characters who wanna sit at the feet of their owners and characters that can't stop losing. characters who are kicked like strays and put in cages. characters who are muzzled and loud and obedient and mean. characters who are just foaming at the mouth for love and attention, characters who are hungry and savage. characters who are just. dogs.

"Izzy isn't the main character" - no of course not, that's not why his death made me sad. It made me sad that I will never see my favourite character again - in a show that I would have loved without him, but that I loved even more with him. It's the lost potential of his character in relation to the main characters that bothers me the most.

For me it's all about Izzy's relationship with Ed in all its fucked up glory. Give me two codependent, obsessed, can't-live-without-you-but-someday-I'm-gonna kill-you (we'll probably die together), violent but extremely vulnerable people who have so much history - and love; although some of it turned bitter - you can feel it in every interaction.

And mix it up with Stede - fascinating on his own, and definitely a main character - who comes between this dark, weird, incomprehensible entanglement like the prince cutting his way through thorny brambles to reach Sleeping Beauty's castle (the original name "Thorn Rose" is even more fitting).

The drama! The conflict! The jealousy! The romance of it all!

I love that Izzy gives Ed/Stede a different spin, it makes Ed darker but also more complex, and it acts as a parallel love story that seems to be everything that Ed/Stede isn't. But then in S2 you realize: wait - they're not completely dissimilar ("He's a complicated man"). The strands are converging. It's all about love, and Izzy and Stede love Ed very deeply, while Ed loves them both in different, but equally important ways. It's almost as if they represent the two sides of him that need to be reconciled before he can truly be himself.

That's why, for me, removing Izzy from the equation was a mistake, and so much potential was lost. There still was a fascinating story to be told, and the loss of that story hurt me the most.

Yes, Ed and Stede are the main characters, and their love story is the main story. In many ways, Izzy is the past, and Stede is the future. But Izzy and Ed and their intense emotions towards each other (it's no secret how much I love the murder/suicide scene) made the story more complex - and with Izzy and Stede growing to accept, understand and even grudgingly respect each other I was hoping for something extraordinary in S3.

Izzy's death put all those potential story arcs to rest, and I would have loved to have seen them explored.

Also, Izzy was fuckin' hilarious.

Page of Iz

I love drawing her so much ❤️❤️

genuine question @ ppl who think izzy is poor/ lower class:

why

fr tho im not trying to start a fight here i just want to know where this take is coming from. i've seen people state that izzy is poor/working class like this is an immutable fact of canon, but from what i can see, izzy might have a poor background, but we don't know enough about his past to say for sure. and he's definitely not poor now, during the events of season 1. he's not a wealthy aristocrat like stede, but he's definitely made a comfortable living working with ed. (financially comfortable, at least. i imagine life on a 1717 pirate ship is physically uncomfortable no matter how successful a pirate you are)

like if anyone knows why this take is so common let me know but i DO want to talk specifically with the people who believe this abt izzy. i honestly do not want to start discourse i just want to Understand

[arsenicflame]

so. anyone else think this moment was gonna lead to rebound sex? just me???

[laceratedlamiaceae]

I've transcended beyond finding Izzy hot and now I just want to tuck him into bed and give him a kiss on the forehead. he's too tired for sex he needs a nap first

[thecoolestcowboy]

(disclaimer: i understand that this is ALL part of the plot!!! NO HATE TO OFMD OR DAVID JENKINS AT ALL!!! these are just straight raw emotions after watching the finale)

i am absolutely so broken up about izzy’s death 😭 he was finally discovering himself bro and UGHHHHHHHHHHHH my heart hurts dude i’ve never been so torn up about anything in my LIFE. LITERALLY TWO EPISODES AGO, HE DID DRAG AND SUNG IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CREW. he had just begun to acknowledge the crew as his family and after that little piracy conversation with ricky? the crew burying izzy IN FRONT OF ED AND STEDES INN???????? HIS LITTLE FUCKING CRAVAT AND RING ON HIS GRAVE?!?!?!?! fuck off man. izzy had so so so much development and i hope he stays at least semi relevant in season 3💔💔💔 i will forever miss our little twat.
