Now that I've ranted on the phone to my fam a bit, I'll just say this. I call utter bullshit here. I refuse to believe no other streamer wanted to make a deal - David implied as much when he said there were many complimentary meetings. This was Zaslav refusing to sell for anything but an insane price tag just like Coyote vs Acme. He knows it would be a hit anywhere else that was willing to fund and market it. And he'd rather sink our ship and take himself down with it than let it flourish and make his company look bad (as if it can look worse at this point).

So you know what? Fuck all this. This is the hill I'll die on. David may have waved the white flag but I won't. We were prepared for a marathon, not a sprint, and two months is not nearly enough for me to throw in the towel. I want to see WBD implode. I won't rest until we get something, anything - a movie, a graphic novel, a Samba's cell phone basement version of s3, I don't care. If streaming is dying, let us put that final nail in its coffin for what it did to us and so many others who have asked for so little and been spat at.

Make some fucking noise about this. It's not over until we say it's over. I love and respect David dearly, but I have a lot of fight left in me.

Sometimes I think about how right before Ed kisses Stede he gazes at him with the full force of his I love you eyes and Stede has to look away for a moment because it must be like staring into the sun.

This is taking a long time 🫠

Shoutout to podfic narrators, I’m so thankful for what you do!

Ofmd fic writers know exactly how to appeal to my interests

[baggnshield]

i know a lot of you are feeling like this was wasted effort, the entire fight but let me tell you something - before this, all i had were shows that baited us openly and us, knowing full and well what was happening, still supported those shows and settled for crumbs because "it was the best we could hope for". the actors, cast and crew made fun of our art and fics, not even hiding their disdain, and we just shrugged through it all.

then ofmd came along and gods, a brown lead? who thinks he's unlovable and then the show goes on to show me that he's the most worthy of love? he's a genius in his field and clever and kind and quirky and full of love? an older queer discovering love so much later in life? not crumbs? explicit representation? the cast and crew gleefully laughing at homophobes and racists right alongside me and people who look like me? even the antagonist honours the pronouns of the nb character?

it was cancelled and it's devastating and take your time to grieve but it wasn't for nothing. some of us were here back when things were worse. and are still living in places where queer rights are LOL. it means something to get two seasons of this, it means something that they made love while fireworks went off, it means something that we were on Times Square, it means a lot. take pride in that. YOU did that. All of that.

It didnt mean nothing.

and speaking of hot..

I'm glad this happened in the first place because jfc look at the world and look at the tv landscape right now, it's so surprising it was allowed to take off in the first place. it got a happy ending and yeah they never got to finish the story but they still told some of it and it changed so many lives and people even with the little it was offered. Through bloodied knuckles and clenched teeth, they still managed to tell a godsdamned good story because - good art endures. Fandoms older than us, older than the creators even have lasted and will outlast everyone.

Long may he roam ❤️‍🔥

added subtitles to Stede calling Ed his boyfriend and now I'll go scream for a while-

[poison-into-positivity]

Thinking about “he just happened upon the ship that I was bleeding out on”, and… Stede still doesn’t know the lengths Ed went to in order to meet him, does he?

“The chances of us meeting each other in the first place [were slim].” No they were not. Babygirl your man tracked the Revenge to two different locations, sent his first mate to personally find you and invite you aboard, and obliterated a Spanish naval vessel, all just so he could have one conversion with you.

Ed was down catastrophically from day one, but Stede still thinks that Ed saving his life was a happy accident.

every morning after waking up and before I check my phone I can't help but just idk stupidly imagine that something happened while I slept and we got picked up by someone and my dash would be overflowing with screaming and sobbing and I know, trust me, I knowww it's so stupid and dumb but I just- ugh
