i've seen a couple of posts like "why didn't they use a stunt double for the underwater scene" and like girl imagine trying to tell rhys darby that the scene where his character is a cryptid will be played by someone else

The thing that gets me the most about this scene is that Stede doesn't rescue Ed. Not in the traditional sense. He doesn't grab him. He doesn't pull him out of the water. Heck, he doesn't even lead him out of the water.

No, what he actually does is just be with Ed, exactly where Ed is. And that's the most powerful thing he could do.

And, crucially, Ed is still underwater. Stede's presence hasn't changed the fact that he's underwater. But the difference is that the weight has stopped pulling him further down, and, most importantly, he's no longer drowning.

I've talked about how much I love the way that this show explores mental health, and this is just a shining example of that. Stede's love for Ed, and his unwavering supportive presence beside him, doesn't fix his mental illness. It doesn't pull him out of the water.

But, fuck me, does having that love and support make it all feel a bit more survivable.

Why's he looking at me like that 😏

no offence but all the things we should've said that we never said. all the things we should've done that we never did. all the things that you wanted from me. all the things that you needed from me. all the things we should've given, but I didn't. if you even care.

The difference between Good Omens and OFMD seasons 2 is that GO reads like someone’s ship-happy fan fiction (executed to perfection), where OFMD is more unhinged than any fan fic in the first three episodes alone.

Also mermaids

YOU GUYS I WAS LOOKING BACK THROUGH ONE OF THE PANELS TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY HIDDEN REFERENCES AND

(when asked to describe his characters journey in one phrase)

(WHEN ASKED WHAT STEDES FAVORITE CRYPTID WOULD BE)

his cryptid loving ass is so excited about getting to be a mermaid

Now that everyone’s calmed down a bit after Attack of the Nipples (or has perished of thirst, either way) can we take a moment to appreciate the work of art that is this tail?

Like, the effort that’s gone into this is incredible.

Look at all those scales. All the colours. The pleated chiffon at the end? The glitter blending into Rhys’ skin? Just wow.

The costuming on this show always blows me away.
