I'm having complicated emotions (though mostly giggling madly) about the fact that people are recommending The Terror and Black Sails to Our Flag Means Death fans purely based on them being Age of Sail series with "queer representation". Like... sure, I guess? But I'm not sure if serious-as-a-heart-attack horror or drama series are what OFMD fans are looking for.
HOWEVER.
What if I told you there is another pirate show out there with a lighthearted tone, colorful quasi-Age-of-Sail setting, and plot centered around a lovable crew of misfits creating a found family on a pirate ship?
Our Flag Means Death fans looking for a new boat media obsession, I think Netflix's One Piece may be the show you're looking for. Have fun, and I'll see you all at Funky Bar on Mirror Ball Island.

I have some thoughts about the whole finale. Like everyone I guess.
- Budget cuts kind of made this whole season feel rushed. However, despite all of that, it was still enjoyable and I did like it overall.
- Funny despite the drama. Good.
- Finale left me neutral. That’s all. I didn’t hate it, but it’s not my favourite thing. I still hope for a GREAT S3 Finale if renewed, however. Potential is there!
- Honestly, Izzy’s death isn’t a big turn off for me. Am I sad? Kind of. Is it something that would make me drop the show? Nah. Is he even really dead? Could we see him as a ghost haunting the inn in a S3?
- NO BURY YOUR GAYS. If more than 75% of your cast is queer, killing ONE off isn’t burying your gays, it’s just killing a character off. Some of you need some critical thinking course.
- The inn part kind of makes me happy.
- MATEYS!
- This season has some of my favourite OFMD scenes. Stede and the cursed coat? The " Soft" joke? Lucius being petty? Izzy signing in drag? Ed and Stede’s kiss scene in the finale?
- More Zheng Yi Sao. PLEASE. I love her.
I also think it’s good to add:
- Some of you need to stop complaining about the queer rep. What’s the issue with this show? I can’t even see it.
- As someone in their mid twenties, seeing how far representation has come makes me feel warm inside. This show is proof we can make progress happen as a community, despite all of the hardships and current pushback.
- Queer shows always get the short end of the stick when it comes to cuts and cancellations. Please understand this too.
- Actors and writers did amazing with what was given to them. Bravo! Let’s just hope that if there’s a s3, its ending is gonna be way more satisfying.
- Go read DJ’s interview.
I’d say the positives outweigh the negatives overall. Because of the rushed aspect, I’d give the overall season 8/10 and the last episode a 7/10.

I have a fic idea that is very. Very. Definitely the filthiest and kinkyest thing I've ever written. I may. Post it anonymously if I do write and post it XD
It's just very Very. And I may be talking it up overly much. But **looks at Ed and Stede** These bitches love S&M and power exchange (while still being ridiculously schmoopy about it) good for them good for them!

Calypso and the Pink Unicorn's pirate drag show !!!!!
[PRINT] - [COMMISSIONS]
Wee john served so hard it should be illegal 16 dead countless injured, I am dead Calypso was so hot
Process (and my french rant on why I hate the choice of la vie en rose) below vvv
Final without the text
Rough colors
Sketch !
Sorry english people, but what follows is too french an opinion to voice in english (I'll sum it up for u in the end <3)
Ok alors je suis désolé, Con o'Neill chante vraiment très bien ca n'a rien avoir avec sa performance, mais vraiment la vie en rose c pas possible. Le man est sur les champs Elysées a me vendre des tours Eiffel en plastique jpp- Franchement pipe et jambe de bois ca serai mieux passer. Ou les demons de minuit !!!!pourquoi pas les demon de minuit ?????? Chanson hyper connu française. Ok c moins cucu que la vie en rose, mais bonus point plus kinky (je pensais jamais decrire les demons de minuit comme etant kinky mais here we are-)
Ou juste n'importe quoi d'autre-
(And words of wisdom from my evil advisor @quijicroix : légende vivante (de Lorenzo) ça va avec tout. Ou une chanson triste de jul (pas bande organisée, tu peux pas ken dessus). Après tout le monde déteste la police ou nik le front national c les chansons les plus romantiques que je connaisse. Y a santiago aussi, avec le gros mat la. Les trois mâts, pour le steddyhands.)
Tout sauf la fucking vie en rose pitier (meme si, encore une fois, Con o'Neill la chante vraiment bien)
Welcome back english people ! To sum it up : la vie en rose is a french song for tourists that set up a fight or flight reaction in every native speaker. I'm glad people enjoyed this, but I cannot describe the cringe and disappointment I felt when they decided to have him sing this song- (even tho he sings it beautifully (which is part of the disappointment))
They are SO MUCH love songs in french, why this one.
PS : at this point (ep7) I don't know why Stede is still bothering with Ed "I'm hitting the banks didn't tell him which one" teach, when Izzy hands is right there ????? Sir please open your eyes
