I love ofmd for showing us that everyone is loveable no matter what they look like.
The cast of ofmd aren't conventionally attractive (although we still crave them carnally) and the crew all come in different shapes and sizes.
But every single one of them are loved by someone and choose to love each other.

COMPLETE* OFMD SEASON 2 PLAYLIST
I'm obsessed with the music featured in Our Flag Means Death, and have been slowly identifying music used in the show. The result is this playlist. It features several instrumental pieces that I haven't seen on any other OFMD playlists (they might exist, I just haven't found them).
Why the Astrix* ?
I'm still working to identify several songs/instrumental music from the show. I isolated the music as much as possible from the dialogue and sound effects, but some of the tracks have a lot of background noise that interferes with music identification apps. Apps like Shazam are also not as good with identifying classical music as they are with music genres like R&B, Pop and Rock. I've tried a number of other methods to identify this mystery music, but haven't been successful. If you're a classical music or 1970s & 1980s African Pop and/or American Funk aficionado, please take a listen to see if you recognize anything. With your help, it would be great to make this a fully complete playlist.

It’s easy for people to criticize protectors for how we react to perceived threats —
Some of us get defensive, some of us get loud, or completely freeze up, or run for safety, or suddenly collapse and can’t move, or become mute, or have extreme fawn reactions … and to the outside, it seems over the top.
Or maybe you think it’s not fair that we saw you as a threat because you got angry and yelled. Maybe you think it’s childish that we sprinted out of the house or scary that we kicked into “fight” mode.
We had to identify threats fast. We had to do what it took to survive. To protect our system and our physical body and mind.
And we can and should learn to react more proportionally. But our instincts aren’t ridiculous or made to victimize you. They made sense in the traumatic environment that created us. They’re the only reason we’re still here now.
We still fall back on that because it worked and we survived.

♡ ⁔⁔ IMPURANGELIC ... !!
[PT: Impurangelic. End PT]
— A gender related to impurity and angels. This gender is the feeling one may have of feeling defiled or impure, while wishing they could go back to when they were pure. This gender is also related to the song "Pure as a Lamb" by Baby Bugs, fallen angels, mourning over what could have been. It embodies mourning, melancholy, and a wish for a softer reality.
— This gender was created with trauma survivors in mind, and I would prefer if only trauma survivors use it. Despite the religious themes to it, it is not exclusive to religious trauma survivors. This term was not created to aestheticize, glamorize, or romanticize trauma; it was created for coping reasons. The use of the word "impure" is not meant to be derogatory, nor is it meant to promote or romanticize unhealthy mindsets. Once again, this is a term created by a trauma survivor to cope with feelings related to their trauma.

Begging people to stop seeing skills like compassion, care, kindness, empathy, patience, and whatever else less as inborn identities, but rather as skills. Essentializing "goodness" to the degree that you identify as kind rather than doing kind is going to destroy your self-image, but also what you think is kind.
