hello. @myriadies - Tumblr Blog

Izzy's arc this season has made me realize that I'm not interested in queer romances; I want queer stories that aren't about romance. I've read so many gay romances, because I wanted to read about characters like me and I figured that's all there was, and I was pretty invariably disappointed by them. When it came to stories that had gay characters, but weren't romances, I figured "if they aren't doing anything gay what's the point?" And there are a lot of stories out there where a character being queer is just a biographical detail that doesn't actually affect their story.

But seeing Izzy find a place among the crew of the Revenge, and do it in a way that's so undeniably queer, is the exact kind of thing I'm looking for. There's so much more to queer life and queer culture than romance (not that I'd be opposed to Izzy having a romance, obviously, with all the shipping I do) and I love how that was represented in this show.

#izzy hands #ofmd #ofmd s2 #yes yes yes!#thank you op #also next i'll babble uncontrollable abt myself sorry #this is not to derail from op's post pls don't read further if it bothers you #i just treat my tags like a diary and don't rlly know if it's still okay (i think it used to be yrs ago)#anyways #like the first Big Thing i noticed abt myself after watching ofmd was that i'm aro #and that it explains a lot #and it's been so interesting to look at what type of stories i like and enjoy when keeping that in mind #like i hate romcoms and romantic dramas and just very romantic romance in fiction rarely interests me #my favorite books are the millenium thrilogy bc of the relationship between the two main characters #but i was like hmm okay i still like ofmd a lot and ship izzy w everyone so for some reason me being aro has no effect here #I WAS WRONG #in s2 i have no enjoyed gb apart from like a couple of cute/funny moments #the romance doesn't interest me too much #instead i'm thinking of izzy 100% of every episode #and his relationships with the crew are my bread and butter #they warm me up they make me want to write fic they make me tear up #but i'm also p sure that i'd be into any canon izzy romance too so like #The Theory Is Not Without Holes #to sum it up i've been noticing how my aro-ness affects the way i feel abt fiction #and what kind of things evoke what kind of feelings #and like - queer non-romantic relationships?#they evoke a lot of feelings #may i have some more please

Personally, i love when people give Izzy more tattoos than he has in canon bc it's always fun to see. But Actually it fits his character so well that he only has a few small ones. He's sentimental. It makes sense that his most prominent tattoo is the Swallow on his neck to represent 5,000 nautical miles, a little x that we for the most part associate with Ed as there is no one definition to an x tattoo, a spade on one hand that has been historically used to represent good luck (i think this might represent the fact that Izzy is, as Ed puts it, an "indestructible little fucker") and, quite possibly, a heart tattoo on his other hand that he keeps hidden.

All of these are sentimental to him, they mean something, Ed gets tattoos willy nilly and for silly reason, such as the spider tattoos, but Izzy doesn't. To him it has to really mean something. And it's just... the little details of his character that make me realize just how much love has gone into his character.

#izzy hands #accurate #yes all this!!#i also go completely mad every time he has a lot of tattoos in modern aus #that's the good shit right there

Man put that hand on Stede's thigh, couldn't look at the man the whole time, took it away, had some internal crisis, while trying to study the ceiling just to not look at Stede

In the wake of Jenkins calling this show a love triangle between Ed, Stede and Izzy, this fanvid feels more relevant and canon than ever. Lil Nas X's version of Jolene is so beautiful, and this is simply the best fanvid I've ever seen, in any fandom, ever. I really captures Izzy's POV and the more bittersweet side of the show.
