Let the Cool Pirating Begin!

Our first #CoolPirates is the one and only Vico Ortiz! 💜🤍💛🖤

Vico is a nonbinary, polyamorous, Puerto Rican actor, activist, and drag king. They're known for their role as Jim in #OurFlagMeansDeath, Serena in Craig of the Creek, Tefe in Harley Quinn, and Hunter & Fern in Fiona and Cake.

They star in the award winning queer comedy series These Thems (from today's Watch Party!), which is free to watch on YouTube. They perform as a drag king, known for their character Vico Suave. They are a passionate activist, and support The Dru Project, the Los Angeles LGBTQ Center and LaBori Vogue.

Vico pushes for the visibility of queer, nonbinary and latine folks everywhere, and openly advocates for the queer community in everything they do. Follow them on Twitter @ V_Vico_Ortiz and on Instagram @ puertoricanninja to keep up with their current projects! 🐙🏴‍☠️

Come Get Your Meetup Goodies!

Pirates Take London! 🏴‍☠️ The Leicester Square billboard goes live tomorrow! We're meeting there at 6pm GMT! #BeABillboard Let's show the world our love for Our Flag Means Death, for each other, and our will to fight for marginalised stories. ❣️ It's about belonging to something! 🦄

If you can't make the meet-up, don't worry. The billboard will be live throughout the day on 11th, 12th, 18th and 19th March. ✨ We'd love to see photos and videos, so please tag us in your posts! 💕

We want to thank the organisers of the billboard and meet-up! 💜 They've not only worked tirelessly for weeks, but have personally funded stickers, badges, and a Safe Space Station with hand sanitiser and masks. (The error in the first print run made us laugh. 🤣 Can you spot it?)

Our Flag Means Death is about including everyone, so we put together an accessibility guide for the meet-up, which you'll find below. If you have any accessibility questions, please let us know! 💜 All further donations made to our ko-fi will go to charity. As there are only a few hours left on that fundraiser, instead visit the #InSoupNow fundraiser in aid of Team HAVEN, who provide meals to unhoused neighbours in Belfast. 🥣🐙💞 https://tinyurl.com/insoupnow

Bonus: Jeff is an artist. His favorite colors are on the palette. What do you think these colors remind him of?

Oh, the date and time of birth are also not accidental 👀

Tomorrow !!!

Ahoy, crew! We will be taking our messages to the streamers' London HQs on Monday 11th (Netflix), Tuesday 12th (Amazon), and Wednesday 13th (Apple).

Will you spot them in the wild? If you do, snap a pic, and make sure to tag us in it! 🐙🏴‍☠️

As with the billboard, our advertising trucks are paid for and locked in. But we think this is a fantastic opportunity.

How will they be able to forget the beautiful, passionate, indestructible pirate hoard trailing in their wake? 🦄 While it may not be the right time for streamers to pick up the show now, if the TV landscape changes we want to make sure Our Flag Means Death has made an impression.

With these lovely punny messages, how could we not? 😉💕 P.S. : The flag waves! 🏴‍☠️

We Ride to London!

Following David's announcement, we've been getting a lot of questions about the plans for the billboard and the meet-up. The short answer is: Our plans to meet at the Vue Cinema in Leicester Square on 11 March at 6pm have not changed, and the billboard ad will run as planned. 🐙 The billboard is booked and paid for already. It was, and remains, a great way to shout our love from the rooftops. We are considering the possibility of changing the design for the 18th & 19th, so keep an eye out for more information. We think this is a perfect opportunity to come together and celebrate our show. What's more, we want to show everyone that we are here to stay, and we will never stop fighting for marginalised stories. This fandom built itself through word of mouth, passionate recommendations, and pure will. It's turned into something beautiful, something powerful. We will always have each other, our community to belong to. We are in this together, crew. After all, it's about belonging to something! 🦄

You can find all info on the London meetup, including the RSVP page and our accessibility guide here: The only change is that we are now at 100% funding, so all further donations made now will go to charity! https://ko-fi.com/helpsaveofmd We can't wait to see you all there! 🌹🐙💕 https://www.tumblr.com/saveofmdcrewmates/744198826186981376/crew-across-the-pond-assemble?source=share

Our good friends over at @saveofmdcrewmates also had a message for us.

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies. Boy. What a day it's been, huh?

Never thought the clowning/honking would stop. I have to say, I'm glad at least that David saw all our commentary about "if he thought there was no hope he'd say something" and did in fact say something.

It's a bit of a hard pill to swallow, I know. We're all going through the various stages of grief right now. Some of us are already progressing on at a quick rate, others are still at the beginning.

I know I've said some of this across the platforms so I apologize if you've heard it already, but I think it's important to hear.

YOU DID EVERYTHING YOU POSSIBLY COULD.

Whether it was only signing the petition, or tweeting every day for a week, or just supporting your crewmates. Every little bit to every large bit you did--

You did EVERYTHING you could.

None of this is your fault. None of this is David or the Cast's fault, and certainly none of it is the fans fault. You did everything you could, and even if it feels like it it was all for nothing, it meant so very very much.

Every Cast and Crew member got to see how much they meant to you. Smaller cast members like our friends Wendy Anderson, and Damien Gerard, and Dominic Burgess have all gotten to feel so much love from us. They've come in and participated with us in our various fuckeries, and we've gotten to know them better because of it!

Every single streaming service we targeted got to see just how much queer media means to us. So many new fans got to join us on this journey because we were loud, polite menaces, and we made a safe space for them to join us. Not just streaming services and new fans, but products, and groups too! Fucking Astroglide did watch parties with us, squishables got involved! Q+ and Pink News!

News Media ALL OVER THE DAMN PLANET looked at us and commiserated and shared their distaste for our loss.

ALL OF THAT MATTERS.

If ONE streaming service picks up a true queer show (not just queer bait) because they saw our engagement, it was worth every single tear lost.

If ONE queer kid, years from now, gets a show where they feel represented because we fought for our silly little pirate show, it was worth EVERY SINGLE EFFORT.

IF ONE of your crew-mates felt included and decided to stick around on this planet a little longer because of it, IT WAS WORTH IT.

IT MATTERS.

It already matters so much, to all of us. I get to spend every day, feeling hope in humanity because of this fandom. Every single day I come online and I see just how creative, and kind, and accepting you all are, and it gives me so much hope for the future. I feel loved again, for me, not who I pretend to be in my day to day life.

We raised money for SO MANY charities. We made LITERAL differences in people's lives. People we don't know, and who don't know us. Do you know how incredibly powerful that is?

Do you know just how much those tiny ripples cascade over this entire earth? Kindness is one of the most powerful driving forces in this world. It is not quantifiable in any way, and yet it makes such an impact.

We have some of the most amazingly talented, and resourceful, and brilliant people on the planet in this crew. That's all of you. You are absolute treasures, every single one of you.

And you know what? You didn't fucking deserve this.

You deserved your show back. You fought hard for it, and you are allowed to be angry about it. You are allowed to cry, or scream, or lie on the floor and not get up for a while. You are allowed to grieve.

Some of you haven't got there yet. Some of you are still fighting the good fight, or trying to support others, and just know lovelies, we will all be there when you struggle too.

I've said it before, but grief isn't linear, it comes in waves, and no matter how each of us proceeds tomorrow, it's going to continue to take time to heal from.

Whatever YOU NEED to cope, do it.

Do you wanna "Fuck it we ball" and keep fighting? Fucking do it.

Do you wanna go cry in a corner and take a week off? Fucking do it.

Do you wanna go hug a fellow crew-mate and tell them a goofy ass joke so they laugh? Fucking do it.

Do you wanna go read fanfiction til you pass out? Make sure to drink some water, but go fucking do it.

Do you wanna draw, or sing, or write something that gets some of this awful energy out? Well? You guessed it--Go fucking do it.

BUT a gentle reminder lovelies:

Don't go hurt anyone, they don't deserve it.

Don't hurt yourself, YOU don't deserve it.

We've got discords, and tumblr, and twitter, and dm's galore. If you need support, reach out. I know so many of your crew are reaching out to each other to send love and support, and dole out all the hugs.

Lean on each other.

We are in this together.

We still have each other, and we will continue to.

This is not the end for OFMD. Whether it gets renewed in 10 years, or gets a movie, or graphic novels, or some other medium. This is not the end. It's certainly not the end of any of the cast & crew's careers. We will have so much to support them in going forward.

This fandom, these friends, don't end with this.

Keep making your fanfiction-- write and draw your own s3! Share it! Take this wonderful piece of queer art and joy that means so much to us and keep extending its infinite universes. Write meta and discuss and laugh and cry about it. We have lost the potential for s3, but we haven't lost what we already have, which is a glorious piece of media.

We have the cast & crew who continue to support and send love, and share our artwork and stories.

We have each other.

Now I'm gonna go mama bear on you and ask you to consider some things:

Have you had any water lately? Have you had anything to eat? Have you slept? Have you gone to the bathroom lately? Have you been outside, even for a moment?

Then finally, going with one last thing. This song helped me a lot today. Maybe it'll give you some love today too.

Just Begun by WILD

Not your vibe? Are you angry? @celluloidbroomcloset reminded me of this gem today:

This isn't the end crew.

This fandom is our home. We've just begun.

== Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika ==

I realize the vibe might be off for these gifs but you deserve dopamine inducing gifs, you can fight me about it later.

This is Not the End.

Hey, crew. We know this is a blow, it is for us too. But now and always, we're in this together. We have created a family here, and as David told us before, we have our names written on each other in permanent ink. And a love like ours can't disappear in an instant. 🐙💙

From the bottom of our hearts, we thank David Jenkins and the entire cast and crew. You brought us a story that made us feel seen in a way we had never experienced before. We can be family, if you want. 🍊🧡🐙 We at SOFMD are currently taking a moment to sort out our next moves. In the wake of the announcement, it is important for all of us to take time to regroup, together. We've built an international movement from the ground up, as a crew. Thank you to all of you who have accompanied us thus far on this journey, and we hope you stick with us going forward. We're not done yet: we're indestructible little fuckers! 🦄 In the wise words of our captain: We Talk it Through As a Crew. Please make sure to take care of yourselves 💜: -Reach out to friends -Practice self care: drink water, get sleep, breathe deep -Do something you enjoy Here are some resources if you need extra support: https://findahelpline.com https://988lifeline.org We'll bring back an announcement on our plans soon enough. For now, all of us here are with you, whether you are taking some time to breathe or preparing to fight. For love! 🐙🏴‍☠️💙
