G'night nerds, I love you.
P.S. I can't believe we're getting new #BattleBots AND new #OFMD on the same day in less than a month!!!! π
I've never had a better birthday weekend. Or felt so comfortable to be myself
This past weekend camping and exploring the world with #ofmd queerdos has really shifted the way I feel about myself and about other people. I don't think I'd really understood the sorts of friendships I want with people before this
I adore my alone time. But I need more of this. More neurospicy queerdo nerds who get just as excited as me about a dramatically shaped rock
I love this show and the fandom so much
Day 7: songs that remind me of my favourite characters
So I'm really not great at remembering artists or song titles. I don't make themed playlists. Music is both very important to me and also too much.
All that said, pretty much every song I hear makes me think of #ofmd. This show is my whole brain, it colours everything
So there's my entirely non committed answer. All of the music.
#30DaysWithOFMD Day 7: pt 1. Busy day for me, so here is the playlist I made after S1. It has all the songs from the show (not including the actual score and Frenchie's songs), plus a bunch of other songs that evoke #ofmd for me. Some are very specific character coded, some feel like they cover a lot of plot. I'll pick some favorites later for pt 2.

Attention #OFMD cosplayers! I'm organising a little something to celebrate season 2!!
Video links can be sent to me via DM here or the bird app or you can email me (which I will provide at the time) #OurFlagMeansDeath
I forgot to share here, but the most recent chapter of This Is Forever has been updated. πππ²
You can find it here, https://archiveofourown.org/works/45084028/chapters/125697085
Please leave kudos, comment, and rec if youβre enjoying it. Every update feels like fewer and fewer people are reading it and Iβm INCREDIBLY proud of this story and think youβll love it as much as I do.
@piratejamming he had a very stressful day at work, so his husbands gave him popcorn and told him to go on a walk. Now he's being harassed by ducklings

#30DaysWithOFMD #OFMD :blobcatpirate:
Day 6: Fav supporting character(s)
Mary: she's smart, sensible, assertive, and direct even when Stede is way too up in his head. The way they grow in their relationship is inspiring and somehow believable, bc she develops so much as a character despite relatively little screen time. For a pirate show it was always gonna be hard to get women's stories in there, but they did a fine job with her.
also Evelyn: Kristen Johnston I mean OMG. She is everything.
My wife and I have been working on the Wikipedia "Sailor tattoos" article for more than a year now, which happened after I watched #OFMD and remembered a talk at the GLBT Historical Society in 2020 about 19th century gay sailors (CW for descriptions of historical homophobia and sex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXa4xnJfcpQ).
I am pleased that today I finally found a way to work in a Tom of Finland illustration, a fun and silly treat for anyone who reads all the way to the end! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailor_tattoos
Day 4: Reasons you like OFMD
The dismantling of patriarchical ideals.
Nana's instant acceptance to Jim saying "I go by Jim these days."
Frenchie's pyramid scheme.
Roach's "Come back! It's just a dream!"
Oluwande.
Roach slapping the naval officer.
The indigenous man telling Olu that Stede's going to get them all killed.
Actually, all the parts with the indigenous people. Especially when the guy rolls his eyes and calls Stede and Pete racist.
