I downloaded as much Tiktok stuff related to OFMD/The General Rhys / Taika Verse related creators as I could over the last couple days. If they're labeled just Tiktok/Tiktok Archive, that means they were the creators themselves.
If they say they were featured videos/search, it means it was just search results with interview/clips I thought would be helpful.
I'll add more as I find them hidden in other places

If there are any missing you all have from somewhere feel free to ping me I can add them (Not pictured but Con's in there too, I apparently never finished uploading him last night).

Hey crew, sorry for the delay. I was going to finish yesterday's recap this morning, and then my draft got nuked again due to my computer crashing, so yeah two day it is!

So some of the news that came out of Florida Supercon last weekend was Samba revealed in a panel that there was supposed to be an official OFMD Podcast and it was in the works until WBD said they "ran out of money".
You can read the Full Article here
== David Jenkins ==
Chaos dad came out and had some commentary as well regarding it-- and Samba had more to add.
There's a new trend this week! Folks on twitter have started up #FirstMateFriday in honor of Con O'Neill! There are so very many lovely tributes to him! I was only able to fit a few in, but they're all beautiful, and full of so much heartfelt love, and I'm sure he is out there basking in it all right now! Thank you to everyone who sent him some love today (and thank you to the lovely folks below for letting me share them!)
Also, special thanks to RudestFish on twitter for coming up with this love fest for Con!

== Love Notes ==
Hey there lovelies! I hope the end to your week was good to you! A lots happened in the last 48 hrs, and I apologize I'm so late sharing some of it. Please let me know if I missed anything!
I love how much people are really stepping up the love for cast members after all the Emmy stuff that went down. I see everyone just aggressively (I say affectionatly) loving so many of them and it's so heart-warming and uplifting.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, but your love and kindness is so incredibly impactful. You may never get to see the fruits of your love (although the cast and crew does tend to show us they hear us) but know that every little bit builds up. Maybe someone was having a bad day, and seeing how much we love them gave them that extra boost to get through it-- you never know!
There is an old greek proverb: "A society grows great when [folks] plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."
That is really true about kindness and support and love too. You are sowing the seeds and roots of a better tomorrow, even if you yourself never get to see the branches and fruit that love produces.
Never let the harshness of the world dim your light lovelies. Your kindness and love moves mountains tiny bits at a time.
I hope you all have a wonderful, fairly uneventful weekend (unless you want it to be eventful!) and get some good rest <3
== Daily Darby / Tonight's Taika ==
There is no theme tonight! Just Rhys being ridiculously hot, and Meow blessing us with this adorable Taika smile.
Happy belated Meow Day!
Rhys Gif by @ofmd-ann and Taika Gif by @blakbonnet!
Just wanted to make this thank you gifset of Ed and his c: smiles for every single person who celebrated #meowday and made me sob and cry an
i know djenks said he had no idea how healing and how groundbreaking this show would be for the queer community but i wonder if any of the other writers who worked on the show knew what they were making.
like if i was writing scripts for this and then watching them film it on set i think i would've had an out-of-body experience the whole time like "this is too good to be true. there's no way they're gonna let this happen. there's no way this show that i've been working on is gonna be allowed to air. taika waititi??? hello??? taika waititi is going to kiss a man on a television series??? he's going to fall in gay pirate love???? this is a fever dream. this cannot be real."
elliotpage Thank you @gucci 🤍
A few photos from the LACMA Art+Film Gala with my friend @jesthekid, and it was so nice to be reunited with @asaprocky and @juliagarnerofficial
hi bestie ❤️ do you ever think about jes tom saying ed throwing his leathers away is a trans allegory because I don’t think we as a society talk about it enough tbh
oh my god yes that made me so giddy when I first read it because like… a mainstream show where one of the main character’s storylines is a whole ass trans allegory? and it’s openly talked about in interviews? I’ve never seen that. cannot appreciate the queer writers of this show enough
