COMPLETE OFMD S2 CONTENT LIST:

To anyone looking for a complete list of trailers, vids, and photos released for OFMD season 2, here ya go.

(I’m not rly active on anything other than tumblr rn so i’m sry if I missed smth)

! LINKS CONTAIN SPOILERS !

So, first of all we have the official teaser trailer, released on August 30th: TEASER LINK

On September 14th we finally got the full length trailer. I’m assuming we’ve all seen these already: TRAILER LINK

There was a promo vid containing new s2 scenes that some people were getting on their TVs and recording and uploading to twitter. What some people don’t know is that that the official OFMD facebook account recently uploaded the same promo thats actually good quality and not just recording off a tv screen. Anyways if there’s a scene you’ve been seeing but it wasn’t in the trailer or teaser, its probably here: PROMO VID LINK

Here’s the links to some of those twitter vids if you don’t know what i’m talking about: twitter vid, twitter vid, These have the same content as the facebook link, just shitty quality.

Oh also Vico Ortez (plays Jim) posts a lot of s2 things on their tiktok. Nothing with spoilers just BTS (not the k-pop band I swear to god) I guess this doesn’t count but some of it’s rly funny: Vico Ortez tiktok

PHOTOS:

The first batch of season 2 photos we got were from Vanity fair on august 24th, but those photos plus a bunch of others are now available together somewhere i’ll say in a sec. Here is the article that showed us the first look at s2: VANITY FAIR ARTICLE

So, warner bros discovery gave us an *almost* complete collection of currently released photos. This does include the vanity fair photos but most of these you can’t find anywhere else. they say which episode every photo is from and let you download them too which is pretty cool. The site also has some great articles in the media releases section but they’re not that relevant. Go to the images section to see the s2 pics: S2 PHOTO COLLECTION

The final thing I found was the exclusive photo “The Streamr” posted on twitter. In fact there’s this whole thing happening with the OFMD twitter fandom and The Streamr and apparently they’ve posted exclusive photos that aren’t in the Warner Bros collection. Once again I am not actively on twitter so I don’t really know that much. I was only able to find one exclusive image posted by them but if there are any more please let me know. THE STREAMR EXCLUSIVE PHOTO

EDIT: found another photo on twitter! YET ANOTHER EXCLUSIVE PHOTO

EDIT: There’s a S2 behind the scenes vid from the max YouTube channel and it’s got so many extra clips it’s practically a third trailer!!! Also apparently there are some more articles that just released and I’m a bit busy rn but I’ll find and add them soon behind the scenes vid

EDIT: OMG THE MAX YOUTUBE CHANNEL POSTED A SCENE FROM EPISODE 1 AND IZZYS CRYING AND THE CREW IS COMFORTING HIM ITS CANON S2E1 SCENE

that is all that I personally know of but if there is anything else you think should be included please add it or lmk, I want this to be a complete list. If anything new comes out I will try my best to add that as well.

I was pretty confused where everyone was getting all the s2 info and I couldn’t find a complete list anywhere so I decided to make my own. hope this cleared it up for anyone else🤗

I am trying to trust David Jenkins not to hurt me

I am trying to trust that he wouldn't write a coming out/healing/self-acceptance narrative and then put a cap on it by having the queer character in question be killed

I am trying to trust that he understands how absolutely utterly awful that would be

I am trying to trust that this is a kind show whose writers want to do right by the viewers

but I've been burned so many times, I'm like a skittish animal. one whiff of danger and I'm trying not to bolt into the safety of the forest

So, we know that Ed hates being Blackbeard.

Even in the beginning of the season, he expresses his dislike of piracy, saying that his life is boring because he always wins without even having to try. He states that he doesn’t need to be there when the crew invade and loot a ship, because all his enemies need to see is Blackbeard’s flag to jump overboard and kill themselves before Blackbeard gets close enough to touch them.

Ed expresses his interest in Stede’s life outside of piracy, and tells Izzy that he is going to retire (and he will do so by pretending to be Stede, a non-pirate). We eventually learn that Ed killed his abusive father, but has not directly killed anyone since.

He suffers from trauma surrounding violence and abuse.

When Ed shaved his beard off after signing onto the Act of Grace, he told Stede that being Blackbeard was all in the past.

I’m fully aware that all the crew of the Revenge used some amount of black dye (face paint? makeup?) to create a more menacing look, but it’s interesting to me that Izzy coloured his beard black. Yes, Ed coloured his beard black, too. But it’s important to note that Izzy was the one who urged Ed to become Blackbeard again.

Essentially, Izzy was the one to first steer Ed towards re-becoming Blackbeard, and thus has a black beard to symbolize his role in shaping the pirate persona.

Furthermore, when Ed gets throws away his drugs and alcohol (shortly after shooting Izzy, the drive behind Blackbeard), he loses the black dye in his beard.

Ed doesn’t use black dye in his beard when he sails the Revenge into a storm because he is intending to die as Edward Teach.

So here's a thought...

Why did the crew keep Ed's body if they all thought that he was dead? They could've just wrapped him in a sheet and thrown him overboard, as is mostly done at sea.

My theory is that they kept just in case they did run into Stede again. They wouldn't necessarily tell Stede how he died (and they originally didn't because he was with Zheng and her crew, who would punish them for mutiny), but they wanted him to see Ed so he could know that he was gone, and he could have a moment of closure to say goodbye.

Ok i rewatched the trailer and I'm also looking at something Vico said at that convention about how the hardest episode for them to film (or most intense, something like that) was episode 2.

So, here's my poorly formed theory.

Episode 1 is lovelorn Stede and the establishment of Ed the wedding crasher Teach.

Episode 2, Stede is really good at tracking Ed down. Izzy has taken notice and is desperately trying to get Ed away from Stede because Izzy gets off to prefers kraken Ed

Usually, Ed is more astute and would notice the people trailing him, but whenever he isn't crashing weddings he's doing arts and crafts with wedding toppers so he's reeeally taking a backseat to captaining.

This is also why they sail head first into a storm, because Ed, who can usually predict the weather with near perfect accuracy, isn't bothering, and Izzy, as established, is a shit sailor and doesn't know the meaning of the clouds.

So, they're in a storm, a scene that I imagine was quite physically and emotionally intense to film (hence Vico saying it was intense, maybe there's even a moment of Jim thinking they won't see Olu again).

Ed is tuned out, but not as much as Izzy might think. He knew the storm was coming, at least within the last day, and he's already sick and tired of being the kraken.

So, he has a plan. They're sailing near the shore, and even in a storm, Ed is a strong swimmer. Or maybe he doesn't care much whether he makes it safely to land or not.

Either way, he's gotten everyone tied up against the ship and sailing her through the storm, he's not needed anymore, and if he were to mysteriously disappear during the storm, well, they'd all think he was dead. Whether he actually is isnt the point anymore.

The point is he doesn't have to be Blackbeard. He can be set free. He can live or die as Ed, and that's all he can ask for.

They hit a wave and Ed jumps ship, and washes up on the shore like we see in the trailer.

Izzy, for all his stupidity, doesn't believe that Blackbeard could fall off a ship in a storm. He underestimates Ed at every turn, but this time he doesn't believe it, not when believing it means he's lost his new favourite toy.

So, he let's Stede catch up with him. He decides it's time to make nice. Stede's tracked them down no matter how hard Izzy tried to drop him. They have the entire english navy after them and fucking Bonnet is the only one who made any headway in finding them.

Why?

Well, the truth is that its because Stede knows Ed, and Izzy isn't as good at losing people as he thinks, but that's for another day.

So, Izzy recruits Stede, he insists Ed isnt dead, but he's left, and Izzy needs him back. He asks if Stede has any leads on where Ed could be, and promises that he'll put up with Stede Bonnet's bizzare way of doing things if it means he can get Ed back.

Now, of course, Izzy doesn't actually plan to let this happen. The second that they find Ed he'll discreetly kill Stede and pretend like they never met. He'll do what he does best and take credit for things he hasn't done. But again, thats for another time.

The point is, Izzy asks Stede where Ed could possibly be going, and Stede has one answer.

China.

And, of course, the moment Ed does wash up on that shore very much not dead, his thoughts go to exactly the same place. He realizes that, though his heart is broken, he would still rather be free and be Ed alone than spend another day as the kraken, and if Stede wouldn't come with him to China then he can damn well do it alone.

This brings us to what we see so much of in the trailer, the unlikely duo of Stede and Izzy both equally pretending not to despise one another as they sail under a common goal. Stede, who still doesnt like Izzy but is happy to work with him if it means he can forget Izzy exists the second he's back with Ed. And Izzy, who does in fact fully intend to murder and discreetly dispose of Stede the second Ed is in his sight.

Shennanigans ensue, and that brings us to episode 3 or 4.

are we even talking about how stede starts off s2 in a white shirt (standard sailor garb) signaling that he is now a real sailor, but through the course of the season his outfits are getting darker? he's wearing a black shirt. he's growing a beard. are we even talking about the very real possibility of stede becoming the new blackbeard so ed can retire and run an inn/restaurant/fishing supply/gift shop

guys i think they are playing the “who’s he gonna get with” game because so far izzy has been intimate with frenchie, fang, lucius, john, ed, stede…. basically everyone and at the end what if he’s just alone/dies cuz i’m kind of expecting 🙁

IS THIS IZZY’S LOVE INTEREST??

okay i’m not really on any platform other than tumblr so idk what everyones been talking about but after my 7th rewatch of the trailer it clicked that the guy Izzy is literally having a candle lit dinner with could be a love interest.

so I know a lot of people assume that Izzy’s in love with Ed but like...

THEY ARE HAVING A CANDLE LIT DINNER HEHEHEH

also this new guy appears to be the “villain” of sorts for s2 based on the trailer which is going to be so interesting😁

once again i’m sure people have already been talking about this I just don’t rly see anything and wanted to share for anyone who didn’t get it.

ultimate awkward reunion idea: Spanish Jackie wedding. Jackie finds a new man for her 19th husband and holds a big pirate wedding. Ed is invited, but Stede crashes the party. the awkward tension would be palpable

I like imagining that when we see Lucius again he will not only have been living in the secret rooms and passages, with Frenchie and the others giving him food, but even while Ed was still at the academy and Izzy was captain he had already snuck into Stede’s clothing room and stolen all of the most outrageous clothing and stashed it somewhere else so every time we see him in the next season he’ll be wearing something utterly ridiculous and working it for all it’s worth. And possibly also working on a novel.

I love this gay ass show with its literally life ending injuries that heal immediately, but only when convenient to the plot, and its ridiculous use of modern phrases, and its laughing in the face of historical accuracy, and its kissing the face of the fans instead of trying to outwit them, and the way everyone involved in the show seem to go 'I KNOW RIGHT! I'M EXCITED TOO!' instead of mocking the fans

#i have so many feelings #i can't quite express the way everyone involved seems to want us to love the show #like when you love something so you show it to a friend and vibrate with excitement while you watch them love it #so that you can scream about it together #it feels like djenks and the writers and the cast and the crew are in on the joke *with* us #which contrasts so sharply to the way so many fandoms find themselves to *be* the joke #the joke being how much we love the show #the fact that everyone involved cares *so much* about the show is really obvious #not just this is a fun show but this is a *meaningful* show #i truly have never felt so much like i have a community as i have with this show and the fans of it #it is also one of the only shows i can think of (maybe some of neil gaiman's adaptations?) where the trademark over analysing and meta #and theories of the fans isn't ridiculed #this ties back into the being in on the joke thing #back when we didn't know blackbonnet was going to be *canon* canon #and djenks reaction to us freaking out that we were RIGHT was basically #well yeah?#i want to write a love letter to everyone but i don't know how #ofmd #mine #our flag means death #david jenkins #ofmd s2 #ofmd 2 #kissing david jenkins on the mouth

I just-

the way that queerness actually is shown fairly historically accurate in the show but not to the point where the lgbt community feels like 1-dimensional victims instead of people. The world is still the same as ours, Homophobia is there, it’s just… quiet. It’s not constant aggressive action, or violence permeating every moment of their lives… it’s the background noise.

It’s in the bullying Stede endures for not performing the ideal masculine, but it’s also the simple expectation and eventually enforcement that he’ll marry a woman. It’s in “anything goes at sea” and the calm, almost practiced defensiveness that prompted such a statement. The small confirmation that Hornigold would lose his mind at Ed having breakfast at a table every morning with Stede.

It’s not just seen in queer sorrow but community as well, even joy. How Lucius looks after Jim, Stede, and Ed once their queerness is known to him. How Ed kisses Stede in a quiet place away from expected public, the refusal to discuss Blackbeard further when the truth of being “lovely” to another man garners unsavory looks. In the best circumstances, protecting one another in a world that isn’t built for us is like breathing.

It even comes from people with no ill intentions. Mary doesn’t mean anything by “what’s her name?” but it tells us something anyway, about the world these characters inhabit. About which ones can step comfortably through it, and which ones must think carefully before even revealing they lack such luxury. The quiet understanding in tossing a stone in that perfect path by saying “his name is Ed.” It means something that she reacts in surprise, pleasant surprise, but surprise none the less.

It’s not a show without homophobia, but it’s not a show about it either. It manifests in the narrative the same way it does for most of us day to day: the white noise of heteronormativity.

that little scrap of red fabric is gonna blow right into Stede’s face I just KNOW IT I just know it. No walking along the shoreline of the island like “oh hey what’s this? Isn’t this Ed’s?” Oh no. No no no no no. It’s gonna be “hey guys what happened where’s Ed—” and BOOM red lace in right in the face. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the very first scene in S2. He’s gonna get facesmacked by it, because it’s funny, but it’s also symbolic for Stede probably realizing something is wrong back on the Revenge/with Ed. Bonus points if he falls over
