okay more our flag means death brainrot let’s fucking go
season 2. stede gets back onto the revenge and is immediately thrown in the cell by ed, who won’t even talk to him or look at him. the crew isn’t allowed to visit him, he’s treated like a stranger
after a while, izzy walks in.
he yells at stede, why did you leave him why did you do this you absolute twat. you fucking moron
stede explains everything, silence.
maybe izzy starts talking again then, about the ring around his neck, about his feelings for ed, about everything
silence again.
the shot cuts to ed standing outside, he heard everything.
so i caved in and watched our flag means death (except the final episode because i’m scared) and i have some Thoughts(tm)
i love that it’s established right at the beginning that blackbeard is bored. he’s the most feared pirate in the seven seas but his adventures is repetitive, his crew fears him and he’s sick of his life in general
then he meets a crew of the most incompetent pirates he’s ever seen. their captain is barely a pirate, no one in the crew knows anything about being on a ship.
but most importantly, they’re having fun.
their ship has 8 flags because every crew member has crafted one, their captain reads them bedtime stories (and does voices!), they arrange a whole theater play to scare off enemies.
they talk to their captain like a friend, even call him by name sometimes. they’re not scared of him. some of them talk to blackbeard frankly, and they’re not afraid to hurt his feelings. they’re all friends with each other, some of them are in love. they’re a family.
and blackbeard, the scariest pirate in the world, finds out that being a pirate can also mean having fun on a boat with a family that you made yourself.
I think my favourite thing about comparing Angel and Spike is that one of them reads Sartre by candlelight, and one of them goes for joyrides while blasting punk rock, and then we get their backstories and one of them was a well-read poet and the other was a trashy party animal, and it's not the way round you think.
angel and spike being petty about each other is so funny actually because angel’s like (drops voice 20 octaves) spike is a killer. there’s no shred of decency within him, and you have to understand that. everything he does, he does with malicious laughter. he brings death in his wake with a song in his heart and he skips down the street like the lives he has taken are as light as a feather on his conscience, and he (goes on for 20 minutes)
and then meanwhile spike is just like. angel is an insufferably whiny prick. also he’s ugly and it’s important that everybody knows i’m prettier
hello all my dsmp followers who don’t engage in the walking dead, i have something for you i think you might find funny-
things that have happened in the walking dead that don’t feel real:
hershel telling rick that his ass is not fat enough to be a farmer
a literal soviet satellite falling out of the sky
rick and carl having a super depressing super serious conversation while michonne was in the background munching on some bread
alpha leading negan into the woods, making him get naked at gunpoint, only for him to turn around and find that she, too, is naked, and this is just how she tells him she wants to fuck him??
*talking to a statue of jesus* “AYO JC YOU TAKIN’ REQUESTS?”
the gang, for at least a second, genuinely considering naming lori’s newborn daughter “little ass-kicker”
the gang trying to survive a snow storm while negan sits in the corner of the room, chained to the wall, basically doing the equivalent of the “hey eric look at me- bitch.” meme
“language! i’m a kid, asshole”
a dog that was literally named. dog
tara walking back into alexandria after being missing for weeks in cheap plastic sunglasses with a big grin on her face as if NOTHING happened
“a baseball bat doesn’t have a pussy!”
a dude that literally pretends to be a medieval king, makes all the guards in his community (called the kingdom) ride on horses and act like knights, all while having a PET TIGER
aaron having a metal arm
that episode that was just carol making soup for 50 minutes while chasing around a rat and fighting back dog
“pardon me young man and excuse the shit out of my goddamn french-”
eugene’s first day at the sanctuary - getting a whole jar of pickles just because he can, doing 3rd grade science experiments, finding a plushie and naming it a gremblygunk, impressing negan and at the same time managing to annoy the shit out of him-
the governor bridal-style carrying tara and lilly’s father out of a room
those people that live in a junkyard and their leader, jadis, who makes sculptures out of wire while butt-ass naked, who kidnapped negan once and tied him to a skateboard, kidnapped rick and photographed him naked for “later” and turned out to have ties to one of the most cryptic group of people who literally no one knows anything about apart from the fact that have helicopters and have been in the background of the show since episode one???
“mother dick”
twd fans feel free to add, everyone else feel free to be confused </3
Just when I thought Ted Lasso couldn’t get better they did an episode about romcoms that ended with the classic “realization of love and then running across town before it’s too late” trope except it was Roy and his bad knee and his love for Richmond. *chef’s kiss*
