[scary-flag]

And another OFMD doll made! Soon in my Etsy shop!

[godasfarasyoureconcerned]

thinking about izzy and jim enemies-to-father/child practicing sword fighting together because he’s baffled by their bladework and they know there’s nobody better with a sword

thinking about izzy forcing jim to fight for the practice, to make them sharper. him pressuring them into it, coming at them with something wider than they can dodge, so they’re forced to meet his blade with theirs

thinking about jim fighting back because izzy is fucking attacking them on top of everything else they’re suffering through on the ship. about them eventually realizing “fuck it’s kinda fun to let off steam like this” as they hiss at izzy and metal clashes against metal. them begrudging at first but he’s incessant. an attack could come at any time. always be prepared. them eventually coming to find themselves looking forward to practicing their sparring

thinking about them surprising izzy with how quickly they learn. about him smiling from the floor up at them as they finally land a hit that knocks him flat on his ass. about their hair wild in their face, the hat knocked from their head during the fight, but smirking down at him in this light, they look like a younger version of edward

thinking about that realization almost sending him spiraling. that they look like edward from his vantage point at the end of their blade. that he might’ve made a mistake. that he might’ve made a whole series of mistakes, and that on top of everything, if jimenez outpaces him he’s basically signing his own death warrant since they’re young and spry and should he even be doing this? should he invest time into this stupid fucking project of his? should he make jimenez a more despicable person just to make them a better pirate? jimenez is too fucking good for this. fuck them. fuck me. fuck edward. fuck everything

thinking about jim smiling at his smile, sneering about how he looks on the floor. but when there’s something suddenly sad and strained in his eyes, panicky even, lowering their blade, because they aren’t blackbeard. thinking about them asking what the fuck his problem is. about them already knowing. just forcing him to admit it to himself here on the floor at the end of their knife

thinking about them addressing each other as “hands” and “jimenez” for a few lessons before the first names are brought up spitefully. about jim spitting “izzy” like it’s poison, to get under his skin and make him hiss “that’s first mate hands, dog!” thinking about izzy sneering “jim” like it tastes bad in his mouth, to hurt the feelings they care less about hiding than he does and make them hesitate before their next strike. but neither of them have to say “blackbeard” during these fights, and neither of them ever dare say “edward” except in their nightmares, so it’s really a reprieve

thinking about those names taking on different tones eventually. about izzy for once saying “c’mon, jim— you forget where your left foot goes?” but it’s more endearing than it’s ever been. about jim saying “oh, that’s rich coming from izzy nine-toes” but it’s half an invitation for more. and izzy biting at the bait, spitting “what’s your excuse, then?” as he swings his sword fucking hard. but them both grinning and watching where they place their feet and jim looking up at him from the floor this time but they’ve never been happier about it. not when izzy is lit by a halo of sunset that makes him look softer around the edges than he ever has before

thinking about jim having a rough day and glaring at izzy. him not making it any easier on them. him shouting “jimenez! back to work, dog!” and them finally snapping. thinking about them pulling their knife out and pointing it at him, but when they only say “izzy—” desperately, him understanding what they fucking mean. about him asking “what’s the matter, jim? twist in your fuckin trousers?” as he grabs his sword, but it’s only half sarcastic. them answering “swing at me or quit your bitching, old man! i’ve fucking had it with your shit!” thinking about him smirking before snarling and whipping his blade at them. them sparring until they’re both exhausted, covered in sweat and blood. about it not mattering who won, there were no winners, as they rip gauze for each other from the otherwise empty kitchen. about him not shouting at the crew for the rest of the day after that, and them through the next day. about them both feeling so much better because of it, despite the fresh wounds

thinking about izzy storming out of blackbeard’s quarters, dazed and covered in marks that’ll be dark bruises come morning. about him not throwing a glance at jim as he limps by, but him still snapping “jim—” like it’s an emergency. them following him in a hurry, immediately on guard. him only whirling on them with his blade and them ready for the hit. them relishing the opportunity and taking it easy on him because he’s fucking shaking. him being stupid, misstepping, being dizzy and unsteady with his bandaged foot anyways. them knocking him flat in only a moment. there being something wild and haunted in his eyes that makes them press their knife hard against his skin and hiss his name “izzy, you have to calm the fuck down, hombrecito. gonna lose your mind before i do, fuck” thinking about izzy muttering “jim— jim, please, i’m— fuck, he’s— mm— i-i don’t—” and them saying “izzy, izzy, yo se, izzy— like i’m a fucking moron— i know, izzy” thinking about those names being spoken softly

thinking about izzy calling across the deck “jim!” without even noticing the lack of formality, and thinking about jim turning to look at him obediently, like he might have something worthwhile to offer them. thinking about jim saying “izzy!” and it’s not just to deliver one sentence about their duties, and thinking about izzy only raising an eyebrow, because he knows whatever they’re approaching him for isn’t something stupid or poncey or a waste of his fucking time

thinking about old man grump and the little shadow child that he’s forced into this hell with him. thinking about that saint with the devil’s Hands on their shoulder. thinking about the dog whose favorite person is fucking losing it and taking everyone down with him, after a series of events that said dog played a huge part in. thinking about the poor dog they kept on board, “quite the specimen” and lonely as hell without the man who served as their voice for the better part of the last year. sad lonely old man whose best friend used to be edward, and is now his blade, except it might be jim if they swing that knife right. sad angry young kidnappee who lost their family at a young age, and then momentarily had a family of one with olu before losing that too, except izzy’s not a half-bad father figure if you ignore all the ways he’s fucked up

thinking. about izzy hands and jim jimenez. about them. thinking. ab. thinki. yeah

some of my favorite pirates, after a battle 🩸

[themistymountainscold]

*everyone is playing a board game together*

frenchie: i will put 'A' down to make 'A'.

jim: i will add onto your 'A' to make 'AT'.

ed: i will add onto your 'AT' to make 'RAT'.

izzy: i will add onto your 'RAT' to make 'BIOSTRATAGRAPHIC'.

ed: *flips the board*

[ourflagmeansgayrights]

Actually Stede and Jim would be drinking buddies if given the chance. They're both on different ends of the same spectrum, you know?

not sure i know what you mean by the same spectrum BUT. i DO think stede and jim getting drunk together would start off with jim being like "ugh, this guy is so cringe" while stede is being weirdly formal, and it ends with jim with an arm slung around stede's shoulder giving him a noogie and announcing to everyone "THIS GUY! THIS FUCKING GUY–" (hic) "-IS THE BEST FUCKIN' PIRATE CAPTAIN IN HISTORY!! I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID WHEN THE SPANISH CAUGHT US!!!" and stede is like "aww, i dont deserve that–" and jim is like "FUCK YOU!!!! IM GOING TO BEAT YOUR ASS FOR SAYING THAT!!!!!!" and then they wrestle in a friendly but still aggressively violent way and olu and ed have to break it up

For the overlap of people who like The Princess Bride and Our Flag Means Death, here’s the gender-envy revenge pirate duo.

[athenashaw]

Has this been done?

[ofmd-gives-me-life]

Anyone else think Jim and Roach would just like, argue about the best type of knives? No, just me? Ok

ᒥ💀ᒧ—         Saw a trend where you take photos of a character, choose a few colors, and make an (digital) eyeshadow palette. The first one I made was an Ed one--I named it "Tear Soaked Gun Powder" to be edgy. Then Lucius, named "Drowning (Homophobic)". And last but certainly not least, Jim with "Not A Fu*king Mermaid."

The sims 4 finally has they/them pronouns, time to make Jim Jimenez

OMFD Ask Game #16?

Thank you for the ask! I answered 'favorite gag' elsewhere, so we'll go with ...

16. What’s your favorite joke?

Jim's diary entry in Episode 02: A Damned Man. The text was originally in English and Vico translated it themselves into Spanish! From Vico's interview with the nerdsandbeyond.com:

The only thing that I added was more Spanish, and David was like, “Love it, here for it.” A couple of the writers are Latiné, and my first language is Spanish, so I said if I ever feel angry, frustrated, scared, I want to express it in Spanish, right? Or when I’m writing the journal — originally that was in English. And I was like, “If I’m writing, I would be writing in Spanish.” So I translated the whole thing into Spanish. David was like, “Yeah, I love that. Let’s keep that going.”

They also have the classic spanish guitar theme going in the background. It's "day twenty-eight on the lam" and we get a peak into Jim's backstory and character, that the disguise has something to do with revenge, and MY FAVORITE: "sweating my proverbial balls off." Said in the most deadpan angry-frustrated voice imaginable.

The showrunners could have kept up the disguise gag a bit longer but it works SO MUCH better to have Lucius threatened with death and to complicate that character relationship early! I had a lot of fun with the whole storyline playing out so naturally and building up to other jokes. See also: Coming Nana! Coming for some cake!

Underrated OFMD fics!

So I've thought of compiling a list of good but unpopular OFMD fics. There are many recommendation posts going around, but they mostly feature the same 10 authors (who are great, do not get me wrong!) - I have thought, however, that less popular writers need some exposure too!
