#<- for our intros!

[fleshadept]

part of the reason the locked tomb characters are so memorable and complex is because they are very, very weird in the way only writers who understand that every human being is a little freak in their own way. harrow is the standout example of this—she is unnerringly pious to the rites of her religion in a way that to others comes across as zealotry but once we get into her point of view is revealed to be both, yes, because she is a zealot and also because the rituals and safety of painting her face, praying, etc calm her down. she eats penitently because she actually hates strong tastes. she is both schizophrenic and quite literally haunted, facts that recontextualize her behavior in gtn in an important way.

gideon is a butch and this universe’s version of a jock, and the first thing we see her do is try to escape harrow and the ninth and join the army (something that’s forgotten a little too often when people talk about her being “out of character” in ntn) because she wants to have a purpose, but we also come to learn that despite being raised in the literal dreariest place in the solar system she’s funny, sometimes even on purpose. she doesn’t know what a salad is. she reads sleazy porn magazines. she’s a talented swordswoman but is head over heels for every pretty woman she meets, to her own detriment at times.

every character is like this! they feel so real and complex because they have contradictions and weaknesses and opinions and incorrect beliefs and correct ones that are hard to tell the difference between.

#this is all to say you could do a homestuck intro for all of them. #cricket chirps #tlt #the locked tomb #gtn #gideon the ninth #htn #harrow the ninth #htn spoilers #i could also talk about how the gradual expanding of the zone of our awareness works to make the world more complex #because every book it feels like you have at least a significant part of the picture before realizing that what you thought was the most #important was actually a small thread in what’s actually going on

love that they introduced Ed as this menacing and intriguing looking guy who's smoking his pipe in a dark room and speaking cryptically to his little henchman and truly personifying Blackbeard, and then proceeded to spend the rest of the season telling us that we fell for his act he's actually an adorable man who wants nothing to do with that shit he only did it cause he was bored and it looked cool like 😭

#ofmd #our flag means death #meow speaks #I spoke to someone who started watching the show #and Ed comes up and she's like ~ that's your guy right? #well first of all yes lmao #but second like just your wait he's gonna burrow his way into your heart ✌️🥲 #and I remembered that yep the first time I watched the show #it was the perfect intro and I didn't know what to expect from him #cause I had no idea who taika was? #and look at me now barely alive

Incorret Quotes

I like to think that in the future Malleus and Yuu will continue in the role of "friends forever until death do them part" so…

Some time after NRC…

p1: you are here! pt2: next

Hearing the familiar sound of footsteps, Malleus waited as Sebek, his faithful knight, landed behind him.

Malleus: What it was?

Sebek: WAKASAMA…..

Sebek: … I, um, bring news. -

Sebek: - But, before I tell you this news, my lord needs to promise that you will not… execute me.

Malleus:Tell me - he said, losing patience with Sebek - or you will prefer execution.

Swallowing hard, Zigvolt continued:

Sebek: It's nothing important, my lord, in fact, no reason to overreact. - It's just that Prince Leona just…

Malleus:Contract leprosy? -

Sebek: No, my lord...Leona has just…

Malleus:Contracting the black plague? Yellow fever?

Sebek: Wakasama… - Prince Leona asked Yuu!… and here is the part where I will remind your majesty not to kill me…

Sebek: he asked if she would become his…

Malleus:Don't ruin my morning.

and so, Malleus flew away and left Sebeck alone.

Sebek: You're handling this incredibly well, Wakasamaa!

"god, I am such a slut for a time loop," I say, surprising absolutely none of my readers

#game changer #dropout #I figured out what was going on immediately lmao #I was like '...sam is doing some highly noticeable and repeatable movements during this intro' #'is this A TIME LOOP??' #all of us in our lives should get to write a time loop at least once so I'm happy for him

I just made a lengthy post about how to get into AO3, basically a beginner's guide to how to find fanfic, since I saw some people on the fantasyromance subreddit struggle with it (AO3 is fantastic, but it can be a bit daunting if you're not sure what you're looking for and how)

💌 Welcome to OFMD Lovely Letters! 💌

This blog is intended to be a space that celebrates Our Flag Means Death and its incredible fandom. While the show may have been canceled, its impact continues. There are still more stories to tell, more art to draw, more gif sets and edits to create. There will still be cons and meet ups. There will still be new fans discovering the show every day. There will still be friendships to be made, and existing friendships will continue to grow stronger.

In short, this fandom isn't going anywhere. 

But right now we’re all at various stages of being mentally devastated, and as a wise captain once said, the best thing we can do is talk it through as a crew. That’s where OFMD Lovely Letters comes in. 

How does it work?

Ask Box: Is there someone you think deserves a lovely letter? Someone who really makes you smile, who makes your time in this fandom better? Maybe they’ve written a story that makes your heart sing, or made a shitpost that you’re still laughing about days later, or they’ve been a really good friend to you when you’re in your blanket fort era. Maybe they’re a blorbo from your notes and you just feel good seeing their URL all the time. Use the ask box (on or off anon) to send them a lovely letter. We’ll tag them when we post the note in hopes it’ll give them a smile. And if you see the post in the wild, interact with it! Shower that person with more love and remind them that you’re happy they’re here. 

Submission Box: Is there a post you’ve written or that you’ve seen on your dash that you think would help improve the general vibe around here? Submit it via the submission box. We’ll be looking for posts that celebrate fandom (specifically OFMD) and the positive impact it’s had on people’s lives.

Please note: all messages will be moderated. We want this to be a safe space ship for everybody. 

Our hope is this blog will be an avenue to spread love and positivity throughout the fandom, through these lovely letters as well as some low-pressure events we’re planning for the future. If you have any ideas, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

Long may we roam. 💕

#masters of the air #motaedit #hbowaredit #jack kidd #unfortunately for him it seems like he was a good choice #but he should get to fly more! #forever disappointed he wasn't in the final ep #really he should get to copilot a nice quiet aid drop to holland with rosie #(I respect how much he commits to being annoyed at someone #like I don't think he's the type to pick fights but by g-d he will not give an inch) #also surprised to find he wasn't in ep 1 #which is good writing ig. a character intro that doesn't feel like one bc he feels like an established character already #watching it like 'hmm maybe this guy is growing on me' #turns out it was love at first sight. our hard stares met across a crowded room #edit #**

can we please take a moment to appreciate the absolute BANGER of an ep that is s2 e4 Barf Bum Movie Men. the Piss Shop intro. the anagram generator shenanigans. Sherwin Touchie, Dookie Mo Oil, and our FAVORITE beloved boy mr Unworthy himself. ELYSE GUESTING AND BEING THE FUCKING FUNNIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD. pissfoot gumtoucher origins. Scary's tummy ache origins. "i can handle anything. riding a horse broke my hymen." Taylor writing 'sExxxx Drippins' on his backpack. Elyse guesting. "cant you even tell what's wrong with my face?' 'all three boys look up at her face for the first time." LOU BEGA. the battle between Beth and Anthony over what the horn sounds like. trumpet acid. the popular kids have secret entrances and also a horse stable. did i mention Elyse guesting. truly one for the history books if i do say so myself

#took me until i listened to the Teen Talk to realize the title was an anagram for Mambo Number Five but thats also so deeply good #i absolutely think the piss shop intro is one of my all time favorite intros its so so good #SCARY TAKE THE KELLOG KNIFE #they had a wand o wonder. i got a wand o wonder. then our bages went off TIME TO BRING THE THUNDER!!! #IF YOU EVEN CARE!!!! #dndads #dndads s2 #barf bum movie men #hermie the unworthy #erica drippins #dungeons and daddies #sherwin touchie #scary marlowe #lincoln li wilson #taylor swift (not that one)

So, since folks expressed some interest: We talked about Taika's films on the podcast this week, focusing mostly on Boy, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and Next Goal Wins, as well as his public persona and the backlash against him.

This was a really fun episode to record (not least because my co-host has apparently been wanting to do this one for a while and didn't tell me!). I think we did his work justice.

(BTW, we do have a Patreon here. We're a little podcast, so money just goes to maintaining our website and hosting fees, and you do get fun things like bonus episodes and little treats!)

#taika waititi #podcast #next goal wins #hunt for the wilderpeople #boy 2010 #rhys darby #taika tuesday #on wednesday #karen yelling at me “WHAT CHANGED LAUREN” was my favorite part #also that is his voice right at the end of our intro introducing karen #she met him a while back and he was kind enough to do a sound byte for her

☆ writeblr intro ☆

Howdy, folks. I generally kinda hate social media, but I fuck with the vibe of tumblr, so I figured I'd give it the ole college try.

quick facts:

I'm 23

he/him

trans + queer

auDHD

disabled

Appalachian

my nonfiction writing:

I'm a big fiction / fanfiction guy, but I also write a lot of essays - both personal and analytical. If you're interested in nonfiction writing about grief, mental health / illness, gender, political issues, disability, etc., check out my substack idiot archivist. Some of my personal favorite essays include:

☆ death knows my name and it calls me friend - an essay about my experience with chronic suicidal ideation

☆ All Men Are Dogs: How Sex Stereotypes Eclipse Desire - an essay about how my transition has helped me better empathize with cis men

☆ A Name is Earned - a personal essay / creative nonfiction piece about my experience growing up in a fundamentalist Christian church

my fiction writing:

Although I write a lot of fiction, I've yet to really consistently share it online. But! I finally made an account on Archive of Our Own (find me here), and I'll probably be sharing on other platforms very soon.

I write a lot of heavy shit, so I tend to write contemporary dramas, but I'm a sucker for fantasy and sci-fi as well. ADHD brain demands multiple sources of excitement, so I tend to just write whatever's ticklin' my fancy at the minute.

I miss being in (digital) community with other writers / creatives, so I'm looking forward to connecting with folks here. I'm also just trying to get out of my own way and stop taking myself so seriously.

Life is short, the world is on fire, and the imaginary gay people in my brain want to be free - so I reckon I oughta let them, yanno what I mean?

Anyway, nice to meet y'all.

See ya when I see ya.

Would you believe that this was pretty much done for so long, but it took us WEEKS of procrastination before the chimp head above his name was done? Yeah, us, let's just not talk about that.

We love how Jol's dorm uniform design came out! It's got a bit of an original flare to it, we especially like the vest and the suspenders. Oh, and ignore the dorm emblem on his hat instead of a personalized thingie, it took us too much effort to replicate and we refuse to just trash it ^^' ^^'
