"I'm simply going to harvest your organs." - F A L L O U T ( 11.04.2024 )
it's so important for your health and well-being to get overly attached to a fictional man who is both deeply amoral and unbelievably, pathetically sad

One thing I love about OFMD is how good the narrative is at turning endings into beginnings.
Endings are written into the story on a lot of levels. Our story begins with Stede leaving his old life behind, and Ed desperate to find his way out of the life he feels trapped in. We're told that the "only retirement we get is death," but the narrative refuses to accept that line of thinking. Characters are rewarded for carving new paths for themselves when everyone else says it's time to stop trying and just accept what you've got. The endings of those chapters of their lives are what prompt Ed and Stede forward to learn more about themselves and who they really want to be. What really matters in OFMD isn't what you did yesterday, it's what you're choosing to do today.
And OFMD is set at a transitional time. Historians debate when the European Golden Age of Piracy ended, but most consider the end to be a gradual thing, lasting between about 1710-1730. There's something there, about how Ed has devoted his life to piracy, became the best in the business, and now that way of life is ending. There's something about Stede finding his stride in it as it's dying.
And it would be so easy to think about how we left Ed and Stede as an end. They've got each other, they both know they're committed to each other, they've decided to retire together. In a lot of stories, that would be it. Curtains, no more to say. But this isn't an end! Not at all! It's framed as a beginning. Ed and Stede are beginning their lives together, and they'll have setbacks along the way, but it's the start of a new chapter in their lives.
There's just something about how this is a story about finding queer love and community and joy later in life, at a time when many people are sure there's nothing new left, not for them. And OFMD looks us in the eyes and it says "no, actually. It's never too late to start again."
Maybe we can just... get away? Start over. Reset.

Dear Ed, I long for you. Every day we spend apart feels like an eternity. I know you don't wanna hear from me, but I write these letters daily, hoping one will reach you. And I know we're not through. I can feel it in my soul. A love like ours can't disappear in an instant. We're joined to one another. Intertwined. We wrote our names on each other in permanent ink.
