I've been enjoying the surge in Goldenboy posting today. Just the best. Ruthless pirate legend vs guy who steals purses at public hangings. Ben is gliding across the deck like an evil Father Christmas, and there's Izzy, doing a little lurk. All 4 of his braincells are occupied with weird devotion.

Ben picking Izzy up by the scruff and presenting him to the other pirate captains like, "Isn't it fun? I found it in a bin."

and then for hours used passive voice to pretend they had no idea who was behind the apparently spontaneous explosions

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Imho one of Stede's BEST traits is he is brave enough to try and build good relationships even with ppl with people who he knows do not like him. so it makes me a little sad when ppl refuse to observe or think on how Stede is not liked by most of the characters he encounters. guy has balls for days

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Ed stays over at friend's, and after a few days they're like "shouldnt you be getting home?" Ed's face falls "Its not my home... anymore". Everyone gossips if its a big spat with Izzy, but actually Ed saw a bug in the entryway last time he was there

violent imperialist regime change in the name of resources is our favorite song. our recurring bit. we're usually a little slicker about it is all

okay i am sorry to be that bitch but the one word you can't use to describe this is "unprecedented."

It’s a dark night when you look at the news and are forced to admit that you no longer believe in the power of the FIFA peace prize

The US unilaterally and illegally using state violence in South America to achieve the goals of capital is a long-standing tradition

DO NOT try to black bag the president, other countries. He would be a huge baby about it

Kind of amazing how someone as dumb and unsophisticated as Trump is simply manages to perfectly crystalize US foreign policy this century. He's on Fox & Friends just straight up saying "yeah we're going to put our own guy in there and take the oil"

i like izzy because i like ed, it’s always been that way for me, so it is wild to me. they’re so similar even tho they’re so different. they have decades together, of course they are. they’re both pirates, both inexperienced in love, both quick to anger, both traumatized and violent, etc.

how can i not ship theeeem

#HausofHands I'm doing the final 19 orders today, but my rural post office is closed and I'm buying postage online - for that, I need recipient's phone numbers. I've messaged everyone still waiting for their shipping notification, so check your ko-fi accounts!

you cannot blockade a country and bomb its capital cities and capture its leader without being at war with it, is the thing

If you're in or around NYC, this beautiful dog desperately needs a home. I guarantee he will make your hard days bearable and your best days better. Please consider adopting, so he doesn't have to suffer in this kennel. This account also has some other great soon-to-be best friends in NYC

I've been following Yukio Akamine online for 20 years. During this time, the world has seen Myspace and Facebook get overtaken by blogging platforms such as WordPress and Tumblr, which in turn got overtaken by social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter. 🧵

RIP Dick Cheney, you would have finally found something to like about the Trump presidency (illegally overthrowing a government for oil)

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

we have not "apprehended" the president of venezuela. we have invaded a foreign country and kidnapped its leader. what the fuck are we doing here, i am going to lose my mind

CW dub/noncon Ben digs his thumb into the edge of Izzy's shiner. The swollen lower lid gives easily under his nail, and he watches Izzy bite down the urge to squirm. So the boy has *some* good sense left in him. "Fighting on my ship," Ben says. "When you know how hard I work to maintain +

A good reminder of how major media outlets inflated and outright lied about the famous toppling of the Saddam statue in Firdos Square in 2004, which was a carefully stage-managed propaganda operation conducted by the U.S. military.

he announced that he black bagged the sitting president of a foreign country on the same website where he posted an AI generated image of jb pritzker holding a mcdouble

Stede and Ned can be cute, as a treat 😚 Commission from the wonderful @imrights.bsky.social 💖 #gentlefiddle

Just your occasional reminder that Venezuela’s oil reserves are greater than Saudi Arabia’s, and nearly 4X those of the United States www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/b...

eyes up here

Also yeah, Kis is right. Repeatedly calling people's blorbo a bigot then acting 😱 when people get upset about it is disingenuous as fuck. Especially when you *know* there's been nasty shit over this before, where people have used blorbo's supposed bigotry as justification to harass other fans.

If Izzy is homophobic for participating in a toxic relationship than so is his BOSS, Ed. The problem with that is then ofmd becomes this shitty white savior show about how a Good Gay from money came to enlighten pathetic poverty stricken Problematic Queers. Like, sorry no thank youuu 😪

I've said before that Ifeel a lot of folk in this Fandom valourize wealth (It makes me uncomfortable)

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Izzy Hands

I just think you're probably kind of an asshole if you cant even stomach having it pointed out that your beloved guy is rich and entitled, but want to pretend calling someone else's blorbo a bigot repeatedly isnt loaded, upsetting, or divisive

okay but real talk ofmd is about people learning to be a community so naturally s1 is gonna have stuff like Stede's main character syndrome and Izzy being an asshole when he's mad. the point is they become better people!

Another shot of Rama Duwaji and her date.

the interpretation of Izzy as homophobic has a sanitizing effect on ofmd in so many directions. It sucks so hard. I dont get how this is your favorite show if thats canon to you. You could have incredibly queer pirate rom com where two bitchy gay men fight over the most beautiful man in the world

Papor

Our Flag Means Death was low key doing some cool, radical stuff to have the conflict in a gay rom com be that one of the guys sort of has a husband already. So many ppl rejected a waaaay more interesting story for another boring lesson on how homophobia is bad, cuz thats in their comfort zone

Sorry children, someone ordered a galley clean-out bc of health concerns 😟 @dracothelizard.bsky.social I swear, I will draw sth serious and beautiful for your Roach week, but I could not resist to get this on paper xD #ofmd #ofmdfanart

First art of 2026

🤡Maybe 2027 can be the year when fandom ppl stop insisting that their headcanons & personal interpretations are The Only Correct & Good Ways™️ to watch sthg, especially when the source material doesn't support it & those involved w making it have explicitly refuted certain things as not being canon🤡
