Call for Participants!
Hi! I’m a post-grad fandom sociologist currently creating a record and analysis of the first six months of the release and reception of Our Flag Means Death. I’m looking for people to share their experiences with OFMD and in the developing OFMD fandom as it compares to their past media and fandom experiences.
If you are interested in being a part of this study, please take my survey! https://forms.gle/5XimKZkF5HXwoiTJ8
If you would like to participate in more in-depth interviews about your experiences, please fill out the contact information at the end of the survey.
So excited to hear everyone’s perspectives!
has everyone in the ofmd fandom decided we need there to be at least one scene with ABBA playing in season 2 (preferably when ed and stede see each other again)
sometimes i am hit with a wave of how much i love ed because i LOVE ed like. wow. edward teach is genuinely my favorite, ed is my baby girl, like stede might be my blorbo but ed is my baby girl, my angel, i love him, so much, like. his narrative arc? his ennui? his despair and his frustration and his hope and the way he throws himself into a new life but keeps a door open to the old one because he can't trust good things, they have come to him so rarely, but then he *does*, he throws it all in, he gives it all up to be with stede and it all goes so terribly wrong and he STILL tries so hard but finally gives in to his despair and his anger and his paranoia and he hurts people and hurts himself second most of all -
i need season 2. i need to know. that ed is going to be okay.
i'm pretty tired so idk if this will make sense, but as a lesbian fan of our flag means death, i have to say i don't like this trend of people demanding "lesbian pirates" in season 2 with no other context or reasoning aside from checking off another box on the representation checklist. saying "this story has gay men in it, so it needs to have lesbians too" just feels so cheap and disingenuous, as if the show's foremost purpose is to be a one-stop shop for all LGBTQ representation ever, or as if "lesbian representation" is a trope that can be tacked on as an afterthought, regardless of the story's greater context.
like, if there are lesbian pirates in S2, then great, but if OFMD continues primarily as a gay love story between two men and exploration of different ways to be a man, then that'll still be amazing and revolutionary, even if there are no lesbians.
i refuse to google anything about private schools in the 1690s for the a fic in which 90% of it takes place at a private school in the 1690s, but I will absolutely read the entire wikipedia page about wildlife in barbados just in case my off hand mention of a fox is inaccurate. priorities.
update: foxes are not common in barbados. i do not care.
Every Touch : The Best Revenge is Dressing Well (part 1)
hey since you're so good at ofmd meta, what's your take on why ed wants to meet stede in the first place? like after the scene at Jackie's I get it, it's the fact that this guy is apparently the only person not terrified of/filled with reverence for the myth of Blackbeard. But before that? Is it the fuckery Stede pulled with the hostages or the fact he compromised by splitting them up? Just the weird rumours Ed has heard about Stede in general? What makes him tell Izzy to invite him onto the ship after the hostage situation?
Hah, well thank you for the compliment about the quality of my OFMD posts!
As we know, before meeting Stede, Ed is suffering from ennui~ and other French diseases of the soul. Izzy is clearly full of all kinds of invective about Stede, but what Ed immediately takes from it is that something different has happened.
Izzy was doing the same-old, same-old and this fancy man, whom Izzy has undoubtedly said is a completely incompetent moron, still managed to best Izzy at his field of expertise--Ed SPECIFICALLY points out that Stede beat him at swordplay--make a deal, and get away with it.
And Izzy tries to point out the technicality. Oh, it was an ambush! It was unprofessional! (Which btw is a silly excuse since most of what pirates do is ambush people lol.) But Ed is, as we know, a creative thinker, and that's where so much of his brilliance comes from.
Izzy looks at Stede and goes, "He didn't do things the way they're Done!" and means it as a condemnation, but it's the biggest recommendation possible for Ed. Ed who is, himself, not only crushingly bored at the moment, but in general, weird and eccentric and whimsical.
(There's probably something to be said about the fact that Izzy has been Ed's first mate for years but is so unimaginative and inflexible that he still has so little understanding of Ed or rapport with him that he just fundamentally does not get this about how Ed thinks and operates, but I'll leave it to be said by someone who cares way more about Izzy than I do.)
So, Izzy shows up to report and goes, "The op went a little sideways because I met this absolute fucking weirdo and he was the worst." And Ed hears: "I just met the most interesting person you've heard of in years."
Like OF COURSE Ed wants to meet him after that!

I’ve been greatly enjoying your comments and tags, beard Stede is best Stede.
Look, I’m really, really trying to fix this. Any help you can give would be great. What do you need?
