*SPOILERS FOR OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH SEASON 2 EPISODE 8 - THE FINALE*

In a fucked world, I thank this show for bringing me a little whimsy. I laughed, I cried, and I rewatched this scene several times.

[we-sail-ships-here]

I wanna talk about Izzy’s death. This will by no means be the only post I make about this, I just wanna get my feelings out, while my initial thoughts are still fresh in my mind.

I think his death was perfect. And this is coming from someone who loves him so fucking much. Everyone who is saying his death was unnecessary and cruel needs to listen and I mean ACTUALLY LISTEN to what he said to Ed while he died.

“Blackbeard was us”

“I wanna go”

“Just be Ed”

How do you listen to that and then call his death pointless and say it’s “burying the gays” and a cheap narrative choice.

FUCK OFF

Izzy had a life, he spent time with the people he loved, he made mistakes, he was forgiven, and he got closure from ed and stede. He was always going to die the way all pirates die. Because deep down that’s what he is. A pirate.

He’s not like Ed and Stede, who both have a complicated relationship with piracy and all it involves. He’s a pirate. He’s been narrowly avoiding and escaping death every day of his life up until this moment.

Izzy is piracy, it makes sense for him to die like a pirate, gunshot wound to the stomach, wooden leg and all.

Now that I’ve got all that out of my system I’m going to grieve on my own in the darkness of my room.

Lol I am in the process of making something so dumb

[poison-into-positivity]

I just feel like it’d be easier to move on from it if I didn’t feel like we have a fighting chance to save it, y’know? like if djenks had just been like “yeah sorry, the decision was pretty final so you don’t need to bother fighting it”, that would almost be less painful. but instead he is quietly encouraging us to keep going, meaning he thinks there’s a chance. and so the hope is sitting like a rock in my chest.

I love how stage-y this show's production is, there's a slight storybook quality to everything. Excited for season 2 to crack me up AND break my heart in new ways! ~

I should have prints at RCCC and Geek Girl Con!

MY PARENTS ARE GETTING BACK TOGETHER!!! (i mean we all knew it would happen, but still)

'when does fan service go too far" literally 🙄🙄🙄🙄 maybe it just WASN'T. MADE. FOR YOU!

[edscuntyeyeshadow]

I’m obsessed with how queer culture is woven into ofmd so well. whether it’s ed’s full leather get-up, wee john in drag, even tiny moments like frenchie namedropping fanfiction. all of it makes the show really feel like home 🥺
