This is the real truth right here.

hung out with some fellow ofmd enjoyers tonight and I'm just. so fucking SAD about the cancelation still. like this is my soulmate show. there are many other stories that I love, but nothing has ever made a home in my heart like ofmd, and idk if anything else ever will, and I know it's just a show but it was instrumental in getting me through some of the hardest periods of my life and I want it BACK ;_;

And yes, I am absolutely and completely bonkers.

Whatcha gonna do, Izzy?

Izzy decided to take the elevator.

Probably easier than rowing in a dinghy to the Republic of Pirates.

As a divorced person who remarried later in life: yes.

Just because the RIGHT NOW isn't the RIGHT PERSON doesn't mean your CORRECT NOW won't ever happen.

Sometimes you need to wade through the muck in order to learn to cleanse yourself.

Man shoutout to Stede fucking Bonnet I am so proud of him. Going from having to ask his wife what being in love feels like, to writing the most earnest and saccharine love letters in bottles. Every day. “I long for you.” “Intertwined.” “We wrote our names on each other in permanent ink.” Kissing them before throwing them into the sea. Every day. He became the world’s biggest romantic dreamboat and he is exactly what Ed “I’m afraid I’m unlovable” Teach deserves. The classic Stede move of “I don’t know how to do this, but once I learn how to do it my own way, I’m going to completely reinvent what it means and it’s going to change lives for the better”

It took me a long time to understand how to accept myself.

It took a long time to accept that I'm flawed.

It took a long time to accept that I've hurt people.

It took a long time to accept that redemption is possible.

It took a long time to realize that FAMILY can be CHOSEN.

Thank you, OFMD, for giving that to me.

Politely, I am feral for your izzy hands cosplay

I have like a SHITLOAD more to post I just didn't want to dump it all at once - and I am VERY thankful for your compliment. Didn't realize how much I could transform until I did it, and this is the second time I've gotten into Izzy. It's THE BEST feeling.

[celesmaxwell]

Yeah, they got cake.

I'm not in the "IZZY 4EVER" boat, nor am I in the "IZZY SUX" boat. And in the absence of writing a very long essay about all of it - I've cosplayed for 24 years. It's just what I do.

I have felt shame that caused self-destructive actions, I have felt pride that caused me to hurt others. I have been the complete and utter asshole. I've been hurt by the complete and utter assholes.

I don't think the show would have been as impactful to me if it weren't for Mr. O'Neill's performance.

He gave us a performance that would make some HATE the character and some that would LOVE the character. He gave us a character who would undergo a transformation. He gave us a character who would demonstrate that it's possible to learn self acceptance. He gave us a character who would resonate with people who have been broken and people who have broken other people. And at the same time - a character that was an absolutely toxic person, living in the grey area.

And then he sang for us.

Izzy is just Izzy. Love him or hate him, he's just Izzy.

Izzy has a soft spot for sweet foods, especially cake. Do with this information what you will
