#olu/jim

nobody's gonna see this but fuck it

the reason I love ofmd is because it shows what it means to be queer and trans and neurodivergent. like that's it. everyone is a little into each other, any kind of relationship goes and there's no questioning from everyone else. their identities don't get in the way of their character arcs. jim gets to be trans and poly and there doesn't need to be 3 episodes to explain it. stede and ed? bro that's literally autism4autism. there's no male gaze or female gaze. that soft ass ponytail ed was rocking is straight up queer gaze. the love story gets to progress beyond what any queer story written for/by straight people could do and way beyond the typical hetero romance. I love the humanity of it all. I love the way people can do bad things but they can still be loved. they can be in the wrong and need to change their actions and mindsets but still be loveable. that's what makes me love it. unconditional acceptance

so i had heard the rumors about jim and oluwande falling apart but i gotta say i am thrilled with how their relationship was handled. they don't fall apart at all; they just grow a bit. it's just a shift. there's nothing in their interaction that ends their connection and nothing that really forecloses a continued romantic connection either.

jim's clear that they are telling olu about archie because olu's their best friend, not because archie has overtaken olu or become more important. olu's surprised but also immediately glad that jim's told him and they can joke about it a bit. oluwande turns around and still takes jim as family to zheng yi sao. they are family! they are best friends! whether there is more in addition remains to be seen, but those base facts do not change and will not.

there's no tension, there's no betrayal, there's no disappointment, it's just - they're happy to be back together, and jim communicates openly as soon as they're able, and there's no drama really. just joy at being together and being able to share together. i'm super excited for how these relationships will continue to develop.

Olu being completely oblivious to how much raw sex appeal he has is so funny to me always.

Furthermore I think it is fitting and DESERVED that he's wanted carnally by only the BADDEST OF BITCHES in the entire show.

As he fucking should be.

I did the painting of Jim a few moths ago so my friends would have something for Vico to sign at a con. I knew I was going to do an Olu companion painting, and what better time than before s2 comes out!

OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH | 2x07: Man on Fire

[xenantis]

It’s not about glory. It’s not about gettin’ what you want. It’s about belonging to something when the world has told you you’re nothin’.  It’s about finding the family to kill for when yours are long dead. It’s about letting go of ego for something larger.

The crew.
