Some GIFs I made of my new music video. Had a lot of fun making the video. Can't wait for everyone to see it! 😄 I hope everyone can use the song to cope like I have these past couple months 🥰

New video is OUT NOW!

The news about OFMD's end of the road cancelation is rough and the stab hurt just as bad the second time but I have seen some people posting if they should stop their stories and fanart given the news- NO! Please don't! Take a break away if you need to but these are what give characters life- the love we have for them! They live and continue to experience the world through our creations!

This is coming from someone who has years in a fandom with my own OC I have fleshed out lovingly to an echo chamber of like 5 people(literally my icon boys). X'D I haven't given up, nothing more will be created to add to that film specifically, it's all about LOVE, COMFORT and JOY.

OFMD will be around for years!

This is probably true... the force of their attraction to each other would've broken the sound barrier! I do wish we could have seen it though.

Thanks guys! 💜 I’ve read all your posts, mb I should reconsider the concept of finished artwork. In my thought a finished work is with clean line, background and complex colors. Well, some more practice drawings, mb you want to see one of them as a full-color art?

It’s doooooooooooone! My second piece of OFMD fan art🏴‍☠️

This one took me two weeks. I took some artistic license with their hair because hair is hard lol. And I could analyze it for flaws forever, but I’m mostly content with the finished product.🥰

I am SO grateful to everyone involved with the making of the show and to every single member of the crew I’ve interacted with so far…thank you so much for welcoming me with open arms and being the very best humans! This community and this show give me so much joy and comfort, and I’m so inspired by all of you every single day.🫶🏼

So the Brain Rot is real on the Sherlock played by Taika/Rhys so I've been dumb and making silly shops/edits today. Please accept these as tokens of my affection. Also I'm sorry.

I’ve seen a few people saying that while no one could have played Stede Bonnet but Rhys anyone could have played Edward Teach. Respectfully I have to disagree. I don’t think anyone but Taika could have played Edward Teach. The vulnerability, the joy, the laughter, the sadness, the pain, every single layer that Ed has is played to perfection by Taika. The way you can see exactly how Ed is feeling without saying a word speaks to the incredible acting skills Taika has. The same goes for Rhys as Stede. Also the dynamic of the friendship between Taika and Rhys is what makes the dynamic between Ed and Stede so special alongside the wonderful writing. I just can’t picture anyone else playing Ed except for Taika and I can’t imagine anyone but Rhys playing Stede. Nothing would have been the same. I don’t feel like it would have been nearly as special as it is.

This is absolutely hilarious!

Even New Zealand managed to make better advertisements than Max

Call me delulu, but I woke up with hope in my heart today.

It's only been 2 months since the show was cancelled. WBD is run by an incompetent fool. WBD previously said they'd sell Coyote vs. Acme, but then made it impossible for anyone to buy it. All streaming services are struggling financially at the moment.

Daddy Jenkins had to tell us we've reached the end of the road, because that's the reality right now. Either WBD made it impossible for anyone to buy the show, or the actual realistic price was just too high for other streamers at the moment even if they wanted to buy it. “Many complimentary meetings, conversations, etc” sounds like someone was interested.

DJ and everyone else who worked on the show need to be able to move on, so they can make a living from other projects. They’ve all been holding their breath just in case they can start filming after all. The fans need to move on in the sense that we can't expect a renewal "any day now", like we did for 2 months. We can still hope that we'll see season 3 one day, but now we can be realistic about the chances of it happening in the immediate future.

Everyone who worked on this show has loved it so dearly that I'm certain that if season 3 gets greenlit in the future, they'll all want to work on it again. As long as DJ is in, the others are too. The Revenge can be rebuilt. The time that has passed can be explained in the story, if it needs explaining at all. If some actors won't be able to return, we'll get new characters added to our family, and we'll embrace them just like we embraced all the new characters in season 2.

Depending on what the problem for the pick up was, things might change very quickly, or they might take a few years. Who knows, if we continue being loud, a streaming service that quickly passed on the show in January might take interest in it later. A streaming service that offered too little might make a better offer, and WBD might accept just to get rid of us (because we're back to calling Max out on this bullshit and it's not a good look for them). Or, once the industry recovers a bit, a streaming service might be willing to reconsider spending a big amount of money on this show. And if WBD set an impossible price for the show this time, they might shop it around for a more reasonable price once Zaslav is out (or even greenlight season 3 themselves, but that’s delulu level 200). Even if we don't get a season 3, we might still get a movie, or a comic book, or a script book, or a blu-ray release, or the Jenkins Cut. And honestly, if someone was to announce they've picked up the show in a year or two... that's not a long time at all.

Pirate Daddy said that our campaign was noticed across the industry. They hear and see our love for this show. They know we're here for the show if it's ever to return. They know this show has potential.

So let’s keep having fun in the fandom. Keep being loud about Our Flag Means Death. Keep using the hashtags. Keep making fanart. Keep shouting about how unfair this cancellation was. We don’t have to do it with the same intensity as during the campaign (I know we’re all tired and it’s completely okay to step away if you need/want to), but as long as we as a fandom are consistent, they’ll see there’s a demand that just won’t go away.

There is always hope. It’s not the same kind of hope we had before January 9th, and it’s not the kind we had until March 7th. But there are so many variables, and so little time has passed. Who knows what the industry will look like in a year or two. I’d rather believe in a future that might just hold a pleasant surprise for us than throw in the towel completely.
