This is without a doubt the single most overhyped motherfucker in all of anime.

Bro does some grunt work for Mello, gets in a car chase, then dies instantly. That’s it. That’s all he does. If it weren’t for the insane, insane amount of fanmade stuff this dude got, I would’ve forgotten he existed.

To give you a sense of just how much of a fandom worm this guy is, on AO3, he has more fics of him than a good chunk of the main cast, including Misa and Ryuk

This has no additional filters active, it’s just for Death Note as a whole

I haven’t read the Death Note manga, but from what I understand, his role there is not much different.

I mean. At least he has cool goggles I guess

This is gonna sound corny as hell, but I think the thing that still makes me so fucking obsessed with OFMD isn't just that it's a great queer story, it's that everyone involved takes so much pride in telling a queer story.

The time when the cast and crew would openly mock fans who wanted to see queer storylines in their work was not long ago at all. The way mainstream shows like Supernatural and Sherlock talked down to queer fans who wanted to see themselves represented in their work was not unique. It used to be common for the cast and crew of these shows to talk about queer fan works as something shameful.

And in OFMD, the queerness isn't just part of the story, it's a major point of pride. The cast and crew never, not once, talk down to queer fans. Ed and Stede's love story is the point of the show. Characters do drag and it's beautiful and joyous. There's a canon nonbinary character whose gender isn't made into their only personality trait.

And our cast and crew love this show and take pride in it. Rhys says Stede was the role he was born to play. Taika talks about how he loves being a "gay icon" and how he's chuffed to find fan art of Ed and Stede. Vico talks about how Jim's story resonates with them. Samba is on set to film bts of scenes he's not even in, just because he loves the show so much. The queerness is an integral part of the show and everyone loves it.

It's just so, so special.

the one thing I absolutely need in s3 is ed and stede just fucking around again. acting stupid together. hanging out. want them to do more of that “blackbeard’s bar and grill” roleplay shit, fueled by rhys and taika’s unstoppable chemistry. but it’s gonna be different than in s1 because now 50% of the time those roleplays will turn into a sex thing

Rating the birds in my backyard by tendency toward violence

Northern Cardinal, 4/10

I'm sometimes worried the male is sexually harassing the female but I'm pretty sure they're just doing some elaborate public pickup roleplay. The rest of us didn't agree to participate in your kink, guys.

American Robin, 1/10

Literally just some dude hanging out. Never bothered anyone but worms. Big fan of the way you just stand there in the middle of the grass like you forgot what you were supposed to be doing.

House Sparrow, 10/10

You're a gang. You're participating in gang violence. There's ten billion of you living in a single wood pile and it's been civil war for three years now. When will the bloodshed end?

Tufted Titmouse, 1/10

A shy baby. A pretty little guy. I saw you on the neighbor's garage roof and time stopped. There were anime sparkles around you. Come back.

European Starling, 9/10

Why is it always you? Listen, I know, I KNOW the sparrows are the problem, and YET. When the fighting starts, it's always you in the middle of it, provoking them and then screaming like you're an innocent bystander defending yourself. I'm onto you.

Carolina Wren, 3/10

This rating is not for physical violence, which you don't engage in, but for your role as an incurable narc. A tattle tale. I know they're fighting again, okay? I see it. Our yard has been a warzone for years, you don't have to make a big announcement every time someone misbehaves.

Eastern Wood-Peewee, 0/10

If this were "birds who think they're better than everyone else," you'd get 10/10.

Red-bellied Woodpecker, 6/10

It's a utility pole. It's not a tree. You're surrounded by trees that are full of bugs. But there you are, on the utility pole. Committing vandalism.

American Crow, unrated

For who am I to cast judgment on the actions of La Famiglia? I assume you are doing what is best for the neighborhood. If I could, though, without criticism, make a single observation. That when large numbers of you gather in the ominous dead cottonwood - no? No, you're right. None of my business.

Great Crested Flycatcher, 5/10

Frankly, I think you could be doing more. I think your name implies a great potential. I think you should massacre the insects. I think your beak should drip with viscera.

Stay tuned for more criminal activity!

[luulapants]

(continued)

Common Grackle, 7/10

La Famiglia does not suffer you to stop in our neighborhood long, and I trust their judgement in this manner. You have the look of a guilty bird.

Tennessee Warbler, 2/10

You keep to yourselves, and I respect that. I get the sense that you could defend yourselves if it came to it, though.

Brown-Headed Cowbird, 3/10

You're not a crow, and eventually they ARE going to figure it out, kiddo.

Gray Catbird, 5/10

Would you. Respectfully. Would you shut the FUCK UP.

Eurasian Collared-Dove, 0/10

You're doing great, sweetie, everyone loves you.

Red-Breasted Nuthatch, 4/10

A comedian. A little jester of a bird. You're so silly. Sure sometimes you incite violence in others but, really, is that your fault? If it is, we forgive you.

Blue Jay, 12/10

If you could learn any human behavior you wanted, it would be how to build a bomb.

Honorable mention:

Turkey Vulture, 5/10

You weren't in my backyard, but you WERE eating roadkill in the street in my neighborhood. I know the animal was already dead when you got there, but you get violence points for frightening the small children that walked past you. Incredible work.

It's almost time for Zack and Cody's reservation at the Italian restaurant

[wistfulcynic]

enough about that other guy, i want to talk about stede in season two.

i want to talk about how he didn't even care that all his things had been destroyed, that his only concern was what that destruction said about ed's state of mind.

i want to talk about how he mucked right in with the crew at jackie'z and on zheng's ship.

i want to talk about that excellent belly flop into the fucking ocean when they found the revenge.

i want to talk about that absolute romantic hero moment on the rocky shoreline, giving the bottle a kiss before tossing it into the sea

i want to talk about how completely he understands ed, from burn the world or die trying to i know (you love me). i know that.

i want to talk about how he remains his bitchy, hapless, cringefail self while still growing as a person and getting better at things. His better may still be worse than other people's good but he's getting there.

i want to talk about how he gave up his swishy red suit because the crew needed him to.

i want to talk about how much more palpably comfortable he is in his own skin this season, with none of the finery that was a shield and a prison for him his whole life.

i want to talk about how he never, ever gave up on ed no matter what. Because stede was in Love, goddamn it, finally, and he was not going to lose that, to death or mutiny or anything else.

season two stede bonnet--i just think he's neat.

OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH Edward 'Blackbeard' Teach in Season 2

For the first time in my life, I'm truly and fully present. I used to view the sea as a battlefield, but now I can appreciate the bounty it has to offer, and all of the natural beauty that surrounds it. I am but a humble wanderer, blessed with this feast, no better than a heron, or a blade of grass, or some sand, or like... I don't know, a wave or something.

My condolences

my favorite little polycule thank you madeleine sami for the bts photos i love you

[dendromancer]

stede becoming friends with steak knife to the point of feeling devastated about his death after drinking and talking to him for less than an hour is the pirate-equivalent of two drunk girlies meeting in the club's bathroom

[valtsv]

“that sounds like a you problem” is literally one of the funniest ways to respond to criticism

HAPPY HALLOWEEN :) WEBTOON - INSTAGRAM

This image shows the protective suit worn by the plague doctors. It consisted of a heavy overcoat made from fabric which was also waxed, a creepy mask with glass eye openings and a nose which was shaped like a beak to hold straw and scented substances.
