Kattt omg hon. You're so sweet to reach out and send me love. I love your work so much! I really appreciate you letting me read it and give you feedback! I always get excited when you have more :) and eee.. *hides under rock* I'm still getting used to this kind of random acts of love, thank you for sending me it. It really makes my day and brings my so many warm fuzzy feelings. I love being a part of this community with you, and ILU hon!! 😭😭😭

i'm unwell!!! because in stede's eyes, ned low was right!! ned says "he [ed] only likes you because of your bumbling amateur status" and calls stede blackbeard's "pet" just like izzy did in series 1

so stede steps up as a captain, kills the man who harmed his crew, and suddenly, for once in stede's life, he isn't a joke! the gentleman pirate is taken seriously and welcomed into the pirate community!

and what happens less than 24 hours later? ed calls their night together a mistake, AND LEAVES.

yes, obviously the situation is more nuanced, and these old men are once again struggling to communicate, but i 100% understand why stede went a bit of the rails at the end of episode 7. stede's been so focused on trying to help ed, that he's completely ignored his own ongoing identity crisis and trauma, and after the incident at the academy in series 1, this meltdown was long overdue.

Ed Teach + Eating 😇 continuing my poison into positivity series, where I shout out amazing members of the fandom who are tirelessly working hard in the background, I'd like to thank @gentlebeardsbarngrill for the carefully put together daily recaps, especially for those of us who are either not on twitter or just don't hang out much over there (because of the horrors). The first thing I do every morning is visit your blog and get updated on everything that's happening whether it's our renewal efforts or just general tomfoolery with the cast, and it instantly puts a smile on my face. I can't imagine the time it takes to carefully curate this info, missing nothing, and then keeping all of us updated! So thank you, you are amazing! ❤️

Part 2

[poison-into-positivity]

the really really cool thing about all of the @renewasacrew efforts is that, even if it doesn’t end up getting us OFMD 3, it’s still very much, if you’ll pardon the expression, making waves.

It’s letting Max and other networks know that there is a large, passionate audience for queer television and films, who do take notice when queer titles are axed prematurely. It’s showing other networks that following in Max’s footsteps could lead to real financial loss. It’s showing that show cancellations in general, especially for shows that are unique and boundary-pushing, make people very upset and can have genuine consequences for a brand.

Somewhere down the road, a queer show that a network is unsure about may be up for a renewal, and some executive might recall our campaign and how much money Max missed out on by canceling a queer show. At some point, a queer film that would’ve otherwise died on the cutting room floor might get a second chance, because the network has seen how much queer media truly means to people. Even if we’re just in the back of their subconscious, our outpouring of support for queer media has a very real possibility of leading them in the right direction.

So yeah, even if it doesn’t end up saving our show (which it still very well could!), it won’t all be for nothing.

And I just think that’s really fucking cool.

you know, if arthur had ever come to know that merlin considered letting a literal child die to save his life, however briefly, he would have been horrified. even if mordred did end up killing him. that's just not what arthur was about

[theorderofthetriad]

as much as the episode is fun, i do think calypso's birthday is the point at which the show irrevocably fucked up ed's character arc and by extension the rest of the show

nah.

So a month or so ago I did a little rant to my friend about Ao3 and how the ratios of works in a fandom are often different, and we couldn't get over the ratio of OFMD vs other fandoms.

I made some graphs because of course I did.

Where:

E - Explicit

M - Mature

T - Teen and Up Audiences

G - General Audiences

N - Not been given a rating

OFMD fandom be thirsty...

Here are some other fandoms for reference:

*What We Do In The Shadows

These are just some random tags I thought to try.

But like. There's a trend here and OFMD is breaking it. XD

These are made by searching Ao3 for the fandom tag. Seeing how many works are in each rating and converting that to a pie chart.

Because statistics can be sexy....

I found exactly 1 tag that has a higher E to other ratings ratio after like a ton of specifically searching attempts.

This fandom is amazing 😂
