SHOP UPDATE! 08 Jan 2024

My current update for the shop! Apologies on not having updated here, as of this moment, a little over 50% have been shipped out and received by customers before the holiday season! My shop is being handled by Atlass, dear friend and trusted mod of many many zines who is US-based, because I'm unable to (due to home and personal reasons). Worry not, she's being compensated for her work with a cut of the profits. She's also working on at least 1000+ orders (both from zines + my shop) and has had to manage my scatterbrained process. Delays are on my shoulders not hers, she's gone above and beyond to ensure your packages are safe and secured on their way to you. My utmost apologies for the delays, my thanks for your patience and understanding, and I truly am excited for these little guys to come home to you. <3

Seeing a few "those MEDIA ILLITERATE CHILDREN still INSIST that the finale was BURY YOUR GAYS" floating around.

I'm happy to break down my reasoning:

David Jenkin's post-finale interviews all make clear that Izzy's death was decided upon - even if only by David himself - at a very early stage.

Having established that Izzy would die, the writing team then chose to give him an explicitly queer narrative arc of self-discovery and joy, one they knew was going to end in a painful death.

They gave no other characters that strikingly queer arc of self-acceptance and expression - just the one they'd already decided to bury by the end. There were other queer characters, in queer relationships, but they didn't get queer arcs. (A character arc is the transformation or inner journey of a character over the course of a story. Being queer is not itself an arc; for example, Lucius's arc was about overcoming trauma. A character can be queer without a queer arc.)

The only character who did get a queer arc also got a grave.

You should be concerned by this choice from a writing team, especially if you are queer.

You should not be belittling the people who are voicing their concern.

As a side note, I was born in the 1980s. I grew up in the UK under Section 28. For what it's worth, I also have a first in English Literature. I've been suffering terrible media representation of gay people my whole life, and when I see it in a show which made a point of encouraging gay fans to feel safe and seen and respected, I'm going to point at it and scream very loudly.

#ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd spoilers #i need u guys to know how fuckin hurtful and messed up that finale was #all that trauma and healing only to kill him in a two minute sequence that did nothing #was gonna post this on main but i think i needed to vent here too

i think there's something so mean about how, when S1 ended and GB broke up, izzy AND his fans were called abusers (among other, horrifying things), i closed all my anon asks and twitter/ig dms because of it. i came into the fandom when the season just ended, "this feels like coming home" i said, and got a death threat a few days later. "i just want izzy to be happy", and a dm saying "you don't belong here" arrived. i got dragged in a doxxing scare, someone i know did get doxxed. now S2 has ended and what we feel is a disservice to his character, on the road to recovery and healing after the horrors of episode 1-3 and a suicide survivor dealing with disability, he gets killed off unceremoniously because 'he has no more role in the narrative'? just when he found a family and belonging he could've sailed with? he could've been written out without dying, getting his own happy ending. instead, he got killed by a stray bullet, on an avoidable 'suicide mission' (had someone else taken his place). and with us being upset, suddenly we have no right to grieve and be sad about this? suddenly we have people laughing at us and downplaying how heartbroken we are? we saw him happy and at home, we just wanted to end the show with that, him alive and experiencing the world with family. i related to him so much, of course it hurts. a lot of izzy fans started the S3 renewal campaign because we wanted to think everyone would get their happy endings. it's so sad to think about the show now. it's been more than a year and i still love this character and the community he's brought me. he's gotten me through tough times and given me hope. let us have this, let us be sad and upset and speak our criticisms, for kindness sake, for the kindness the show used to promise us. the same way people whose ships get broken up on cliffhangers and tragic ends are upset, let us have this too. this is a public message, but you have nothing good to say, if you're here to downplay the hurt, if you're here to laugh, please just scroll on by or block.

broken but not destroyed

WHAT A DISAPPOINTING AND HEARTBREAKING FINALE? To have the man who was abused, mutilated, and disabled for protecting the crew, to have a suicide attempt survivor who crawled on the ground, to have someone who battled depression and alcoholism, to cement his role as the 'Ship's Unicorn" (the figurehead that protected the crew) only to reduce him as someone who "had to die" because he had no more narrative feeling, what a slap to the face. DJenkins said he didn't want to fall back into old tropes and burying your gays, but there's an elder disabled queer man you just buried for what, to absolve Ed of his abuse? Izzy died thinking he DESERVED the torture done upon him. What a disgrace. Izzy fans rallied and kickstarted a S3 renewal Campaign. And many of us are heartbroken and grieving for a show who promised kindness but only justified the abuse we've gotten the past months? We stayed and hoped better because of kindness and belonging. "This show is kind" has never rang more hollow. I'll still love and create art for him, but I don't think I can trust any other queer show again. I thought this would be different. Do you want a queer show full of kindness and found family, for all queers, the disabled and survivors and the rough around the edges ones? It's not Our Flag Means Death.

Hello!! I absolutely love your art, especially for the one piece characters - so full of emotion & movement, & colorful to boot! I'm actually creating a playlist for izzy hands atm, & I wanted to ask if you would be okay with me using one of your works as the cover art, with a link to your art post included. if not no worries, I just wanted to check with you first before I did anything. I hope your day is going well, & thank you for making such amazing art, it's so awesome to see when you upload a new piece ^^ 🥰

thank you for your kind words, it means a lot, especially as a fan of both those shows <3 i dont know how delayed this response is but yes, go ahead, i'd love to listen to it when you have it ready as well
