The thing about OFMD is that not a single character is genre aware. Stede thinks he's in fucking Bridgerton on a Boat; Ed thinks he's in a soap opera; Izzy thinks he's in the fucking Bible and he's Judas. None of them know they're in a slapstick comedy. That's why the stakes are all over the place and why they all take themselves so seriously while doing the most batshit insane stuff and then get angry at each other about it. Izzy's sitting over here going, "I am your most devoted follower. I am the only person who loves you enough to betray you." Ed's response is, "Yes, it's me...thought I died?...well think again... " and Stede is standing between them like, "Ours shall be a spring wedding!"

OK, but, like, remember when this happened? On TV? In a pirate show? And how it was perfect?

and anOTHER THING
ofmd does not give a fuck about reality or history or anachronism but it draws the line at magic dick. and I just. I LOVE THAT. the whole show is so symbolism heavy that like, buttons turning into a seagull and flying over the revenge just after izzy accepts the unicorn leg is an acceptable redemption—but the main boyfriends have real actual realistic problems and miscommunications and baggage and trauma, and saying sorry and I love you isn’t enough actually, and physical intimacy doesn’t mean emotional intimacy, or even comfortable physical intimacy. like sometimes you love someone and you hurt them and you don’t mean to, and they hurt you and don’t mean to, and an apology and an orgasm aren’t always enough? and honestly gd bless this show and its writers. they are the real ones.

A little amends comic that is half trying some new brushes and also half wish fulfillment. I understand Lucius’s perspective as a fellow efficient gay in the work place & all his bitterness in my bones lol. I think all things are fine on his end after not getting killed off by the British tho, but he would appreciate it anyway

so you know how ed wore his hair like this:
and we all took severe damage over how jaw-droppingly gorgeous he is?
and you know how stede never got to see him like that (in a healthy, happy way)?
may or may not have rectified that in a fic, and then some.

Stede: Well, that was fun!
Ed: He's insane. I want him to fuck me so hard I can't see straight.
