Wait remember what happened to Martin when he went to investigate Jane Prentiss and she was like on the floor writhing and choking and stuff and he dropped his phone? Remember what happened to Alice in the alleyway with the drowning victim that was on the floor writhing and choking and Alice dropped the tape recorder? I'm going crazy help

[Part 2]
Ben’s death in the original timeline has more to it than it seems… Turns out its a key event meant to always happen in every timeline… The siblings realize that Ben’s body serve as a portal to another realm of dangerous entities that are bent on coming to this side… it doesn’t help that their Ben is escalating…

there’s something about how Stede crossing out DEAD and circling ALIVE on the wanted poster like the silly little lover he is manages to be, like…the heart and thesis of the show all in one.
it’s baffling. it’s goofy. it’s a bit sad. it’s optimistic, despite. it’s love in action. it’s earnest beyond belief.
and—quite literally—it’s choosing live.

[ cw: death mention / strangulation mention / stabbing mention / blood mention / self-sacrifice / codependency mention in tags / ]
I think a lot about how common it is for Raph to be the one to have direct focus put on him when Leo gets into all his near death experiences.
Like, when Leo is thrown off a building, it’s Raph who’s right there jumping after him, not even thinking about the consequences to himself when he does. When Leo almost gets skewered by the Krang, Raph’s right there to take the blow and send Leo to safety without a second thought. When Leo’s being strangled to near death, it’s a Krangified Raph doing the job, doing exactly what Raph would never, ever want to do. When Leo is telling Casey Jr to close the portal, it’s Raph who tries desperately to convince Leo otherwise.
Likewise, Leo is consistently very single minded when Raph gets forcibly separated from them. Both when in the sewers and by the Krang, Leo is dead set on finding Raph first and foremost.
I also think it’s interesting that during each of Leo’s near death experiences, the lightheartedness of his words during them goes directly hand in hand with both how close Raph is to him physically and how much danger Raph is also in in that moment. From a literal “I told you so” as Leo’s falling away from Raph to a soft joke about how “hero moves” are Raph’s style - both of these are on the more morbidly carefree side and both of these notably take Leo farther away from Raph and, in turn, have Raph not in immediate danger.
On the other side of things is the apology from Leo, heedless of the danger he himself is in as he seriously and genuinely speaks to a Krangified Raph face to face. Then there’s Leo’s freezing and desperation as Raph takes a hit meant for him and sends just Leo to safety, leaving Raph himself behind. Both of these involve much closer proximity and Raph being directly harmed - these together make Leo much more vulnerable in his words and actions, something not even the threat of death can make him.
These two care about each other so much, and they’re way too much alike for their own good.

Wait. Wait hold on wait.
I may be dumb and everyone else may have already figured this out but WAIT
I’d noticed the obvious parallels between OFMD Season 1 & 2 - the moonlight kiss etc
But it wasn’t until I wrote the following out that I realised *every* episode in season 2 is a mirror of it’s counterpart in season 1 (adjusting for the fact season 2 only has 8 episodes) and it’s made me love the show and the writers even more, if that’s possible!
Season 1
1 & 2 - Stede’s spiral. The Gentleman Pirate.
3 - Stede nearly dies. Ed saves Stede
4 - Recovery. Ed & Stede build their relationship
5 - Comic relief, costumes, & moonlight almost kiss
6 - Hilarity & trauma. Relationship deepens.
7/8 - Tension building; Ed leaves & returns
9 - Ed is excited. Stede is hesitant. Heartbreak.
10 - Stede realises he’s in love and goes to find Ed. Izzy creates a monster.
Season 2
1 & 2 - Ed’s spiral. The Kraken.
3 - Ed nearly dies. Stede (kinda) saves Ed
4 - Recovery. Ed & Stede rebuild their relationship
5 - Comic relief, costumes & moonlight kiss
6 - Party & trauma. Relationship deepens.
7 - Tension - Stede is excited. Ed is hesitant. Heartbreak. Ed leaves.
8 - Ed realises Stede loves him back and goes to find him. Izzy releases Blackbeard.
