I'm never shutting up about this exchange actually:

Buttons: "The sea is my lover."

Ed: "Jesus Christ. You're still here, I forgot about you."

"But there's a cruel limit to the passion I can share with Her Majesty in this current form."

"No offense, man, but I just need you to not be weird right now."

"To love the sea as she must be loved, requires change."

"Oh my god."

"That's what I learned down in the old gravy basket."

*Buttons does his spell*

"Okay. Buttons, people don't change, not into birds or otherwise."

*Ed turns around and Buttons has turned into a seagull*

*Ed's face lights up, he has learned something important*

"Fuch yeah brother. Fly."

*Stede returns. Ed runs after him*

"Hey! Buttons turned into a seagull!"

Our flag means death is a show about how people who were miserable and stagnating alone can come together and change through the magic of community, love and support. They set up this silly joke about Buttons being a sea witch who can turn into animals just so they could have Ed witness the transformation (that Buttons needs to go through so he can love his lover as she deserves, because his current form makes the relationship unsustainable) and have his own epiphany about how people do, actually, change. If Buttons can change, Ed is allowed to change. He can trust that Stede has changed too, and will continue to change as their relationship evolves. He can learn what he needs to and go through his own transformation so he can love his own love as he deserves, so that they can have the fulfilling relationship they both want.

[actual-changeling]

i know we joke about it but i want to be serious for just a second and say that the new season of our flag means death is legitimately very heavy and deals with a lot of potentially triggering topics.

in my opinion, they handle them very well and i never once felt dismissed or reduced to a stereotype or anything similar. they're still there, though, and they do not sugarcoat or talk around any of it. just like in the first season, violence is openly shown on-screen and a lot of traumatizing events are either implied or explicitly mentioned.

all of it is directly addressed and discussed, and the jumps between silly and serious can be quite jarring at times, which is, i assume, the wanted effect, but it can still leave you dizzy for a moment.

if anyone needs a full trigger list i will gladly go through the episodes and compile one, just say the word!

#alex yells at the void #our flag means death #ofmd #ofmd season 2 #watch responsibly everyone!! #i'm serious about the trigger list btw does the dog die is not uh. there at all yet so. either reply to this post or send me a dm or ask #whatever suits you really

[iamadequate1]

What a day, am I right? I'm just making a bulleted list to remind myself of these goings on, and make some uneducated speculations that will be proven wrong! I'm in clown mode; I need it to make sense. I write these thoughts just for me.

Casey Bloys did say multiple rubbish things today, but it really points to us annoying them. So we should keep it up! 🥰 In the end, I don't think OFMD is staying with Max (which is good!), but we should keep up the noise to show OFMD's value to other platforms and just to annoy Bloys and Zaslav!

Long bullet list:

OFMD S3 was in preproduction, we're mostly sure of that. It explains the vague posting of the cast and crew in the week before the sudden cancellation. If it actually didn't have "the numbers", it would never have made it to this step.

The Emmys were last night, and the WBD/Max socials were posting dozens of posts across the platforms that OFMD fans were able to keep up with. It was exhausting! And OFMD keeps coming up in Emmys interviews that Bloys is doing. We'll be able to annoy them more efficiently once they slow down!

"I need Gay Twitter to come out and support Gilded Age," Bloys said in an interview released this morning. This is a completely nonsensical statement, and we don't have the context or tone to tell if he's serious or joking. Given the "No more OFMD on Max!" at the end of the day, I think it was serious. OFMD is all queer, and from what people said, Gilded Age has a forgettable gay side plot? That makes them the same? Do they think stepping back in representation is appealing? WBD/Max does not understand why OFMD is successful and think that lazy, minimal representation has the same resonance

"Gay Twitter": What I think is they want to keep a large, excited, and engaged fandom intact as they remove the thing they're excited about. This honestly feels like a desperate, quick band aid on a problem that Max was not expecting: they like the engagement, and they were planning to keep it. They had OFMD taken from them rather abruptly, and after years of purging queer shows, they had no show that they could slide the fandom into and retain the massive, free marketing. Because it feels abrupt to them, that's why I think it was David Jenkins that walked away from them, not a "the numbers" BS.

Why would Jenkins walk? More slashed budget, more slashed runtime, more executive meddling like what happened in Calypso's Birthday. At this point, I don't want Max to renew OFMD. I want OFMD to go to a different platform that isn't a dumpster fire.

Until tonight, I did not know that Casey Bloys is gay. I understand less now. He has to give the company line, but how much was him? Is Gilded Age his favorite show?

I will never watch the Gilded Age

Astroglide came to our rescue soon after the Gay Twitter thing, and David Jenkins made an appearance! In a second comment, he may have used the past tense, but that's what he has to do right now.

On engagement, if the cast and crew were really, fully done with OFMD, they'd be posting more retrospective material on their socials because this is the biggest thing most of them have done, and they need to advertise themselves in their profession. They're quiet. Rhys posted thirst traps after a few days. Alex Sherman was liking renewasacrew items today. DJenks showed up to joke about lube. Vico and Con posted on their insta stories the PinkNews headline that OFMD deserves an S3. They are all very, very quiet right now.

Bloys showed up late in the day with another banger: "Nobody likes to cancel a show. But the fact of the matter is the numbers weren’t there for a renewal. But I will say, whenever we cancel a show, if a creator can set it up elsewhere, we support them. That is an option for Our Flag; it didn’t make sense for us but it might be for someone else. We let the producers know if they can find a home, we’ll be supportive of that."

If pressed for what "the numbers" mean, they won't be able to answer. It's sure to become a common refrain with trolls, but it is a nothing phrase. We know the audience numbers, the critical reviews, the engagement, and the budget were perfect. "The numbers" either mean "not enough white cishet" or "won't be a franchise milked into oblivion."

"If a creator can set it up elsewhere..." Jenkins is totally in talks right now. There is no way this is going to be passed on by a stable platform.

I hope the situation that happened with Acme vs Coyote is happening again with TV shows: i.e., WBD/Max cancelled a product for no reason, so all studios should be cancelling pitch meetings with them. WBD/Max is failing and cannot support to nurture original ideas.

I know moving platforms will cause an OFMD S3 delay, but that just means more time until the last episode! Since OFMD actually has "the numbers", they're going to be picked up.

We got #hbdzaslav (happy birthday, zaslav) trending yesterday on his birthday, and I bet he didn't even appreciate it!

For the lolz, NASDAQ comparisons over the time since the OFMD announcment:

WBD (owner of Max): 1/9 open 11.23, 1/16 close 10.35 (7.84% loss) -- note also WBD posted a 2.82% loss just today

Amazon: 1/9 open 148.46, 1/16 close 153.16 (3.17% gain)

Disney (includes Hulu): 1/9 open 91.01, 1/16 close 93.05 (2.24% gain)

Netflix: 1/9 open 475.51, 1/16 close 481.24 (1.21% gain)

Comcast (includes Peacock): 1/9 open 43.21, 1/16 close 43.09 (0.28% loss)

Paramount: 1/9 open 14.53, 1/16 close 13.23 (8.95% loss)

Apple (includes Apple TV): 1/9 open 183.92, 1/16 close 183.63 (0.16% loss)

NASDAQ: 1/9 open 14,744.13, 1/16 close 14,944.35 (1.36% gain)

Remember that WBD wants to merge with Paramount, and they're the only two major streaming stocks in freefall. I want OFMD to flee to a safe harbor, and I want Max and Paramount to merge into a horror abomination that we can laugh at from afar as it implodes.

[jennifriend]

Dear OFMD,

I wasn’t sure who to address this to, at first. There are so many options, so many people instrumental in the creation of this show that means so much to me and so many others. David Jenkins, Taika Waititi, Vico Ortiz, Alex Sherman, and the rest of the producers, directors, writers, cast and crew. I did try to list out everyone, but it took up the whole first page. My social media follows exploded when I began watching.

The thing is, I’ve never quite been comfortable in my skin. I knew something was off about my gender as early as 8, possibly earlier, but eight is when I remember actually thinking that I wasn’t a girl for the first time.

I wasn’t a boy, either, but it was the eighties, and I didn’t know the term non-binary, or that gender was as much a brain thing as a body thing. So I shoved it down, along with the thought that the kids at my school should hurry up and learn the lessons already so we could go onto the next thing and that I hated wearing dresses, except when I loved it.

And then, I just . . . didn’t think about gender for a long time. Not when trans people were the butt of all the jokes in the movies in the nineties, not when trans stories, real trans stories started getting told in the aughts.

Someone gave me the word agender, once, when I was curious and asked what might describe someone who felt neither man nor woman, and never had, and I went with that. I still go with that, or enby, whichever I’m comfortable with in the moment. I was forty. Thirty-two years of not even knowing I was looking for that word, and I was.

And then a year or so later, someone talked me into watching Our Flag Means Death. 

I write. I’ve published. When you send a story out, you never know what other people are going to think of it, what symbolism they’re going to find, how they’re going to interpret this thing or that thing. So I don’t know if you realized when you finished filming the first season and sent it for edits, or finished the second season and watched us foam at the mouth for it, how the fans were going to react. 

There are a lot more of us out in the world that don’t feel quite right in whatever gender box we’ve been put in than anyone realizes, I think. And I think a lot of us gender-weirdos are fans of this show.

It’s not just Stede, and his love for fine things. It’s Ed, with his hidden silk, and his softly admitting to “maybe” liking “a fine fabric.” It’s not just Jim being outed, and everyone going right back to normal after they figure out that that’s what Jim wants. It’s not even just Wee John’s wonderful performance as Calypso.

It’s also Wee John sitting down to sew and saying he used to sew dresses with his mom. It’s calling Izzy the ship’s “new unicorn” and it’s also Izzy wearing make up. It’s everyone wearing flowers. 

It’s Spanish Jackie having nineteen husbands, and maybe some wives.

It’s a meme of any of the characters that’s just a screenshot and the word “gender” written across it.

It’s the concept of “assigned knives at birth” 

And it’s the community that this show created to let us feel free to explore all of this. We can bounce ideas off of each other, we can explore new identities, and you - the cast, the crew, the writers of this show - you have given us a safe space to do so.

I’ve been on the outskirts of a lot of fan spaces. I’ve never wanted to step into them because at their core, they seemed so toxic and gatekept. I’ve never felt that from the fans here (we’re not perfect, and there are a lot of very angry arguments over things that I hope you never see).

So yeah, this is my love letter to Our Flag Means Death, the show that helped me figure out, at forty-three, that my gender is, well, me. And it doesn’t have to fit anyone else’s label.

Thank you for creating it.

Thank you for writing it.

Thank you for acting in it.

Jenn

#text #my post #mobi #show:ofmd #ofmd spoilers

[areyoudoingthis]

This shot makes me completely insane. Ed's wanted to bury the Kraken and Blackbeard for so long, but now he's literally and symbolically digging himself up from the depths, he's swimming all the way to the bottom on purpose to drag himself back out.

And he does it in part because he's just been told "If you were ever good at anything, go and do that", and then rowed himself back into a nightmare, ships burning everywhere, Stede missing, and British soldiers harassing him while he's barely coping with what he's seeing. Maybe at first this is about bringing the Kraken back out of anger and dissociation, but that's why what happens next is so important. Because whatever his motivations are in this moment, he's doing something. The last time he was underwater he was drowning and Stede's presence saved him, this time he's taking action and doing whatever he can to fight back. And anger is only part of that, has always only been part of what moves Ed to violence.

Blackbeard and the Kraken have always been fueled by love, and fear, and yes, rage against unjust situations that made Ed feel helpless and trapped, and then left him feeling even worse for fighting back. And that last bit is what changes this time around and allows Ed to reintegrate, because for the first time, he's not alone anymore to deal with the aftermath, he's not a kid without a family, he's not a man crying alone in secret in an empty room without anyone to console him.

After he digs himself up, he emerges fully dressed on the shore, Edward Teach literally reborn on a beach at last, leathers back on and determined to do whatever it takes to find Stede. And it's such a powerful shot: he's all in black against the white surf, dripping wet hair completely obscuring his features and trailing tentacle shaped rivulets of water in front of his face.

The next shot we see is his shadow self, his dark, blurry reflection on the sand. The only bit of Ed's actual body we get are his feet stepping determinedly on the wet sand, making his way back to land and to Stede and towards his full self (although he hasn't realized this last bit yet).

But it's not until he finds the soldiers reading Stede's letter -and this is such a lovely representation of how the core of the show is the relationship between these two men- that all the parts of him are finally able to integrate into a single person when Ed embraces the Kraken and Blackbeard and Ed as being of equal value. It's reading the adoring, unhesitating declaration of Stede's love that allows Ed to redefine himself, to see his darker parts in a different light, the light Stede has cast on his life.

He reads the letter, realizes the depth of Stede's love for him, understands he's really committed to Ed for good (in permanent ink), that he didn't push him away by showing him his trauma as he feared, that sharing the story he's never told anyone else about his first and worst act of violence didn't make Stede reject him, that Stede loves him and wants him in his life for good. He has a short cry about it while he reads and processes.

And then he roars "you wrote me a lovely letter" and charges. A lot has been said about how angry in love the line sounds, and yes, he is angry, angry that he almost lost Stede again, angry that the British soldiers would mock the letter, angry that they'd hurt Stede and that they'd think they can do whatever they want just because they have the power, think they can separate them again after everything they've been through.

Ed has been afraid of his anger for so long, made up a tale and a whole different persona to hide it behind, but his anger has always been born of love, of the need to keep his loved ones safe, of rage against abuse and injustice, and this is what he needed to be able to see in order to start healing.

He's in love, Stede's in danger, he needs his protection, and Ed offers it unflinchingly and doesn't hate himself for it this time, sees the part of him that is capable of killing not as monster but as loving protector at last. Because the British are abusing their entirely illegitimate authority, and the man he loves is in trouble and may even be dead, and this isn't even a question for Ed, he'll fight for him.

And once he's safe he'll drop his weapons at their feet to kiss him and tell him what he's finally become able to say: he loves him. He's maybe beginning not to hate himself, and he loves Stede. And Stede reaffirms what he wrote in the letter, tells him that he knows, that it isn't Ed-Blackbeard-Kraken that's a dick, but life.

Is this arc done? No, of course not. Healing happens in stops and starts, it takes a long time, and that's why DJ has said from the beginning that OFMD was always meant to be three seasons long; the last season is going to be all about Ed and Stede dealing with their issues so they can grow and heal. But they were always meant to do it together, because that's when they're strongest, that's when they're able to shed a light on the other's darkest bits and help him see them in a kinder, loving way.

This was an emotionally charged step in Ed's journey of growth and self acceptance, but the issue will probably come back up in the future, especially now that he and Stede are slowing down and taking time to process their mountains of trauma and everything they've been through in a very condensed amount of time.

But this is still an incredibly significant moment for Ed. He's gone from panicking and hiding under a blanket in a bathtub to throwing parts of himself overboard to digging them up from the bottom of the sea towards the shore and the light, and wielding them intentionally to fight for what he loves.

Lot of articles tonight yall. Remember that every one of these shows you made an impact. It sucks cause a lot of them say "failed to find a home" which isn't true, we were robbed of one. But they still matter. The fact that they wrote anything at all shows we've been making waves. You still have power, as Chaos dad said. They didn't take that from you.

== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies.

I know some of you found out the news later than others, and it's still very raw for you. I'm sending so much love your way, I know you had less support than some of us when you found out and that's got to feel terribly lonely. I've talked to some folks who were fine yesterday, and not okay today, and vice versa. Just know we are here luvs, we are here, and we're happy to talk. We're all going to be grieving for a while. So please be kind to yourselves. Give yourself some grace, it's okay if you can't do much right now. It's okay if you don't finish that gif set, or that artwork, or that fic. It's okay if all you do is get by today. You are doing enough. It's okay if you need to have distractions so you're doing twice as much as you did before. Distraction can help a lot with nervous energy. Give yourself room to be creative, and to let your mind wander, it could use a break. Take some time to laugh if you can. Laughter really can be healing. I wish I had some advice for tonight. I wish I had some better words of encouragement, I know it's all very hard right now for everyone.

Please just know a few things, and you've heard them before, but I need to hear them once in a while so I'm going to say them to you.

You are loved.

You are worthy.

You are enough.

You are beautiful.

You are kind.

You are exactly the way you should be.

You are loved.

[actual-changeling]

i was getting all adhd-y and restless so i ran all the errands i neglected this week in an hour and a half, got a med refill, made a hair cut appointment, and bought groceries. and i am STILL brimming with energy for some reason.

where is this energy when i actually need it???

#alex yells at the void #at least i am now fully prepared to get destroyed by ofmd #do not worry you will all know once i watch it because i will return to tumblr and sound like insanity incarnate for two hours

[dearfriendsinhigherplaces]

-about me-

• im alex, im 20 years old

• i first learned about shifting in 2021, through youtube

• i just had my first minishift about a month ago

• the first dr i ever scripted for and wanted to go to was steven universe

• i started this blog because i dont have anyone to talk to about shifting with irl, im dying to share my drs lmao

• i shift for too many men im sorry i cant help it

• the main theme in most of my drs is friendship. i have a lot of drs focused around having a close friend group

• im a subliminal creator and ive been listening to subs for over 7 years

• i draw from time to time, mostly just pencil sketch portraits

• i do tarot

• im a northwestern wolf and crested honey buzzard therian

• ive got three tulpas

• im bisexual and a non-binary woman/demi-girl (im still figuring out the gender thing)

• dyslexia haver

• im learning danish and asl (poorly)

• social anxiety im not very good at talking to people but im down to have shifting friends

• favorite bands/music people: the beatles, will wood, idk how but they found me, the smiths, james and the shame, the mountain goats, chappell roan, bo burnham, tim minchin

• favorite movies: crimson peak, another round, a ghost story, nope, httyd, thor ragnarok, into/across the spiderverse, titanic

• favorite shows: hannibal, barry, bbc’s ghosts, supernatural, good omens, ofmd, bridgerton, the great, all of us are dead, atla, hazbin hotel, love death and robots, the end of the fucking world, sex education, breaking bad

• favorite video games: shelter 2, the sims, animal crossing, rdr and rdr2, bg3, detroit become human, resident evil 7 and 8, the isle, minecraft

-my main drs-

• hogwarts uni (modern, golden trio era, its a university, theres no war and does not follow the plot)

• the beatles (modern, i like the friend group dynamic so much. its sort of a fame dr)

• baldurs gate 3 (im not following the main plot. i literally decided to go to this dr for one trauma filled man)

• bridgerton (i originally made this dr to shift for anthony bridgerton and then i scripted my boyfriend in it so i could shift for him instead. he's a bridgerton and im from a family i scripted in)

• rdr2 (this does not follow the plot because the game broke me i cant go through it irl. i scripted that the gang breaks apart before anything goes to shit and sean and i get to live a lovely life together. i haven't scripted this one too much, im shifting to chapter 2 where we are at horseshoe overlook)

• adventure time (me and my boyfriend are group shifting here together)

• ghosts uk

• marvel

• percy jackson

-my other drs that aren’t really planned out much-

• hannibal (this is the second dr i ever made a script for/tried to shift to. im very fond of it. its based on the nbc show and it doesnt follow the plot. i scripted out basically all of the trauma stuff, and i made some murderous characters good people. this is basically a dr to hang out with will graham and learn some skills. when i shift here again im going to rework the whole script probably)

• sims 4 (i have a vampire sim and I WANT TO BE HER)

• changeling (this is a magical school dr, where im a shapeshifter and everyone that goes there is some type of mythological creature/monster. just a place to learn magic and hang out with people)

• hawthorne school (this dr is loosely based on the apocalypse season of american horror story, but it doesnt have anything to do with the plot of the show because thats scary and i dont want that. im a warlock attending the school)

• wings of fire

• botw

• marauders era, fantastic beasts era, hogwarts legacy era (gods i have too many wizard drs)

-my waiting room-

my main waiting room is a cozy beach house, with no people except me and my boyfriend (group shifting here with him). its pretty neat, i have a tv with a streaming service that has every show and movie on it, and through the streaming service i can choose what art style/medium i want to view the show or movie in. so i could watch like the office in the style of into the spiderverse or something lmao. but yeah its mostly just a big house with a library and an indoor pool and other cool stuff on the beach where i get to hang out and play baldurs gate 3 all day. i can also shift to any dr from there.

anti shifters do not interact.

feel free to ask me any questions about my drs/about me, im happy to share. you can ask about literally anything in this introduction, doesnt have to be about shifting. ill make posts about my drs all separately. I’ll mostly be posting about my shifting journey, my drs and just venting about shifting stuff.

happy shifting everyone!
