They have ample opportunity to write ofmd s2 off as a bad dream if they wanna make a better season Explains the weird character differences, obscure tone shifts, the bits that don't make sense Whose dream idk but figure that out & sound. They even had a dream bit at the beginning. You're welcome

always fascinated by ofmd s2 defenses that are basically "well the version of s2 that exists in my head is really good" like yeah I'm sure it is! I think the version of ofmd s2 that exists in my head is really good too!

If you had most of a mediocre but fairly long (35,000+ word) fic, would you just finish & shove it on ao3 or promise yourself you'll fix it up into something better first (& likely never actually do that?) It's probably gonna be option 2 but it seems like a waste (Edizzy, hurt/comfort, miscom.)

The Ed & Izzy have been edizzying so hard in my brain recently

I love writing narky Izzy lol, & Izzy's almost narky

I love when Ed has so little respect for Izzy's autonomy that Izzy is put in compromising positions Both Izzy & the crew having to pretend whoever didn't see Izzy being a footstool / human ash tray / Blackbeard’s beaten dog on the reg, for everyone's sanity

Steddyhands! For Even Keel zine 🙌

Strict tops Ed & Stede who use Izzy as their holes to fuck when they have sex, but nothing else

He looks so fucking pathetic and miserable, it’s actually so hot. I want to whump him and put him in a jar and shake him. #ourflagmeansdeath #izzyhands #whump

“Stop shipping Ed/Izzy! They’re a toxic and problematic ship! 😡” How can I NOT though when they look this cute together?? 🫠 #ourflagmeansdeath #edteach #izzyhands #blackhands

Stede sets himself up for failure in his entire time at Jackie's, a domino effect for everything next. Meanwhile S2 written in that "And then, and then" style. One scene feels disconnexted to why the next happens, few characters feel autonomous

We don't usually see each other's headers. Quote post with yours. Mine is the valentines edizzy art the wonderful @imrights.bsky.social made me !!! look at the babies

The problem with post-nut clarity is that it doesn't last long

My little sister has concluded that Arthur Shelby from Peaky Blinders has a *lot* of similarities to Izzy Hands & that's why she loves him She isn't wrong

thinking about how ed loves izzy so much

I'd love ofmd s3 if it was 100% like ofmd s1 & maybe 10% like ofmd s2 Those first couple of s2 episodes really could have added up to something. Something not fucking shite, anyway

[Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy] I already got this with a message saying "you" so ok whatever

Idk if I'd ever get a fandom tattoo, being a dude with 0 tattoos, but fuck me I'd get "A fucking pox on all of you" if I were drunk & near a tattoo parlour & I'm drunk often

So he's a fancy man with a fancy ship. And he travels with a brigade of imbeciles. Do I have that right?

Been to see the UK AIDS memorial quilt being displayed in Wakefield (usually in London) Each dedicated panel is the size of a grave plot many were denied May have had a little boo but so did everyone else. It's open another 2 hours before it goes back down south, if anyone fancies a cry in Wakey

I know this scene is supposed to demonstrate that he's an angry asshole or whatever but the way he *growls* his name when correcting him so hot to me for some reason.🥵 #ourflagmeansdeath #izzyhands

Izzy faces xD 🫶 #izzyhands #ofmd

Went the People's History Museum in Manchester & would recommend it to anyone, *esp* if you're working class. Learn your history The resistance & strength the working class have shown is historied & deeply fascinating. & many don't want you to know about it.

I'd love it if drunk me didn't scatter his jewellery everywhere like a knob

A kinda ooc thought that always makes me laugh is Izzy finally, *finally* getting to sleep with Ed, & the sex is so bad it fixes whatever's wrong with Izzy He leaves the captains cabin & like, just goes & becomes a carpenter or something. Leatherworker maybe. Starts going back to church

so sweet 💕

Getting 10k words into reading a fic to realise Steddyhands is already established 🥲 (The steddying is my favourite part)

#edizzy kiss <3

HOW I LOVE THEM ✨✨✨

Jealousy is the fear of losing something you already have and envy is wanting something that someone else has, so when Ed said "he's jealous" that was David Jenkins confirming EdIzzy is real.

Me little sister always bangs on about how creative I am (cos I write fanfic, thassit lol) & how she's not & she desperately wishes she was Watching Legends has given her first fanfic idea 🥺🥲 I'm so proud lol

Arthur (Con O'Neill) on Legends: We need to meet. It's important. Me little sis: "I'm on Blackbeard's ship! He's taken me toe off!" Piss off ya little shit lmao

🙂‍↕️💕

Is there any canon divergence fics where Izzy gets everything he thinks he wants in s1? Stede dead, Ed retired, captain of whatever ship, fucking miserable?

Wish I could read & write fic without getting too excited & closing the window like all of the time

If anyone ever wants to tell me, at length, everything that's wrong with Izzy Hands, I'll be here. I won't even argue. Let it all out. Plumb the depths. Hard mode: Izzy Hands, not Izzy fans. Heard enough of that

Going to celebrate pride month by running away to sea to join a queer pirate commune

I don't have a vomit or shit kink (particularly) but I DO wish I could have seen Izzy puke his guts up & shit himself during that storm Stede got a cut-away storm scene trying to keep his library together, why no graphic scene if Izzy failing to keep his insides in? Izzy Hands erasure

When does one become a Hot Old Man? 40? 45?

Muting the word Rhys, goodbye half the timeline

*sigh* Izzy Hands speech bubble

One of the many s2 scenes that strongly reminded me that Ed had his brains bashed in with a cannonball Cos, what...? u ok?

Shame we couldn't murder them. Even a little bit of murder woulda been nice.

The tumblr sicko fanfic trope sorter thing was so far beyond my Buttons-loving & soft gentlebeardy little sis (who loves a steamy fade-to-black) that I dug out the original one She's so cute

Beer haul brought to you by my search for the most ofmd related ones I could find @ the supermarket (The king of terrors one is Ed💜)

Calico Jack talking to Stede

Clingy They have a matrimonial bed but Ed insists on sleeping like that And every night is the same Izzy succumbed to him saying is the last time Over and over again #ofmd #edizzy #ofmdfanart #izzyhands #edwardteach #ourflagmeansdeath

I say as I put Edward Teach back on the boat again

Is it just me or did Ed seem weirdly out of touch with his own class/roots (which seemed v important to his character in s1) in ofmd s2? Like as a pirate, you work with largely working class men throughout & you grew up with v working class people, you should have skills & know how the world works

if they didn't want us to ship edizzy shouldn't have made them look so flawless together
