Hi! This is a blog dedicated to the following:

Adding image descriptions onto Our Flag Means Death posts (art, memes, edits, screenshots of interviews, etc)

Reblogging Our Flag Means Death image descriptions made by others

If you've received a notification saying that I (or anyone else) reblogged your post with an image description, please add it to the original post! You can just copy and paste it under the image/s in the post. You don't have to credit me (or anyone else) for the image descriptions; in fact, please don't. Image descriptions are an accessibility measure, not a type of art.

(plain text: the last two sentences of the previous paragraph are bolded.)

Also, if you regularly describe images on OFMD posts, send me an ask saying so! I’ll follow you :D

RHYS DARBY as Stede Bonnet & CON O'NEILL as Izzy Hands in OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH (2022— ) Episode 2.05

[bisexualshakespeare]

[ID: gifs from Our Flag Means Death showing a scene between Stede and Izzy. Izzy shirtless and turned away from Stede. Stede says, "But Blackbeard did say that he credited you with a lot of his skills." Izzy says, "Yeah well, Blackbeard says a lot of things." He turns to Stede. "But what did he say about me, s-specifically?" "Well, specifically, he said you taught him everything he knows. Made him the Captain he is today." Izzy sort of nods like, 'well yeah.' /end]

Season Two!

Hi everyone! I’m planning on making this blog active again for Season 2. It was fun being able to describe and categorize all these posts for the fandom, and I’d like to be able to do it again this year.

I’m also somewhat busy, though, so I would also like to add: if you are interested in being added to this blog to help describe & post, please let me know! DM me if you’re interested!

And as always, please tag me in posts you’d like to see described, or in posts that have already been described!!

something that frustrate about tumblr is hard see when picture have alt description … very often not realise and think something not describe but then is , just in alt . wish would be more visible . alt text popup also really bad because so small , so even when need for self because brain buggy , and picture is describe , still can not use good .

like web designers think OK make small because for blind people so will not see whatever horrible choices , but is not only people who use as access tool .

[zillycripple]

sorry , want to add as a blind person : its not good or accessible for us either , and not actually made with us in mind . especially the fact that the alt text image that shows up in the corner is so transparent it is invisible unless the image is extremely light , and yeah how tiny the popup is . they also make it very hard to add the alt text , which means no-one does it ( not that sighted people on average care about adding them in a majority of cases , especially cases where they do not also struggle to see things . )

[meadow-realm]

Is it most helpful to have in-text descriptions, or both? If the 2 descriptions would make the screen reader repeat i guess in-text is the preferable option but I’m not sure if screen readers would always do that

[zillycripple]

one or the other — generally i would say plaintext descriptions in the post itself are more accessible to everyone . ive met blind people who disagree , so its a matter of opinion , but id rather people used plaintext descriptions that are accessible to all people who struggle to understand and make out images than operated based on what is just good for screenreaders !

[meadow-realm]

Thanks for the feedback! That’s good to know, especially that it does double up. I’ll switch back to in-text, & reblogging so my mutuals can also see as a PSA :)

[ID: Digital drawings of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Both of them are wearing modern-day casual clothes as they stand next to each other behind a glass window and look at fish, sea horses, and an octopus. Stede is saying "Look, Ed! So beautiful." There's also a photo booth strip showing three pictures they've taken. In the first, they are smiling at each other. In the second, Ed is giving Stede a kiss on his cheek. And in the third, they are kissing each other. "You make me happy :)" is written at the bottom of the photo strip. Below the photo strip are two aquarium ticket stubs. /end ID] @ofmd-described
