To the bold ff.net user in 2013 who tried to write Moby-Dick from the whale’s perspective, please get back here you were cooking

I too hate the treatment of queerness as a genre, but in the case of OFMD, it is actually a gay romance. That’s the central conceit: two gay pirates who meet and fall in love. It’s not a pirate adventure that happens to include a romance as a subplot (for instance, like Pirates of the Caribbean). The main driving force is a love story between two men, and the themes include toxic masculinity, homophobia, gender presentation and gender roles, and the violence of patriarchy and white supremacy.

It’s a love story.

OFMD really said "pirating is terrible for your back"

[image ID: Lucius on a hoist over the side of the ship complaining that it's just tweaked his lower back. Lucius being wrangled by Jim and trying to get away by telling them he has this whole thing with his back. Ed during the Ned Low torture time telling Ned to increase the torture as he thinks it's almost fixed his lower back. End ID]

The trouble with chasing after recs for fucked up media is that a lot of allegedly fucked up media is enamoured with the idea of being fucked up, but it's not actually fucked up about anything. The form is there, but not the substance. However, there's no way to communicate this to anyone who doesn't already Get It without sounding like a maniac.

It’s my favourite character’s birthday again, here are his… phases…

Went a little silly but needed to one up last year. Nevermind that it’s not the 14th on this side of the world anymore. I love him dearly.

I love evil Carmen as much as the next guy but it would have been cool if VILE used her capture as an excuse to 'bring Black Sheep back'

Girl why are you so stripped of your whole identity (name + hair + iconic colour + friends + personality) wtf... girl...

Do not let her joyous and whimsical nature fool you she is crazy

If this was a fic or whatever it'd probably follow Gray's POV, "yayyyyy she's back :D" vs "Oh god what have they done to her. Am I responsible for this. Ah. Yikes!"

If anyone else has ideas this is a uh- public concept? Feel free to steal this for your own things or shoot me some ideas. Go crazy go stupid!
