OFMD Dumbasses In Love

When Stede doesn’t meet Ed on the dock, Ed immediately thinks “he hates me, he doesn’t want me”. It never occurs to him that something happened. He never thinks…well maybe a guard caught Stede. He didn’t know that Badminton kidnapped and further traumatized Stede. We know that Stede left to try to fix things; he thought he had to fix his family and save Ed from himself.

The heart of sit-coms is always misunderstanding based on miscommunication or no communication. So that scans.

If Ed and Stede would have spoken about it, if Stede explained why he was leaving, Blackbeard wouldn’t have gone to full Kraken. But then we wouldn’t have much of a show, would we?

The Rembrandts were onto something: it HAS not been my day, my week, my month, or even my year

are you a "maybe i got all of this trauma because I'm going to be the charismatic and funny character of a found family sitcom once i'm in my 20s and people will do edits of me with the songs american boy or lovefool" neurodivergent teenager or a "maybe i got all this trauma because i'm going to be the silly character from a rhythm idol game who will have the best events and songs and cards and people will use me as their twitter pfps" neurodivergent teenager

When a TV show has a punching bag character who everyone hates, but instead of being funny, I just find it genuinely difficult to watch

my personal headcanon for 'mockumentary' comedies

and i want to be clear, i don't think it is at ALL canon or intended

i just think it's a VERY funny and enriching way to (re)-watch stuff like Parks & Rec, Brooklyn 99, The Office, and heck, even stuff with a deliberately surreal/fantasy edge like What We Do In the Shadows

it's all being filmed by a magical, inter-dimensional documentary crew

with truth-compelling cameras

explains the question of 'do these documentaries ever actually come out?' [they do. in another dimension]

how are the film crew ALWAYS around, even late at night/in private/200 miles from civilization? [they're aliens/magic/from the future]

why are these (sometimes) competent people spilling their deepest secrets to a film crew, even when they know it's extremely embaressing and/or illegal? [they're being compelled]

so the next time you're watching something and being like, why is X admitted they have a crush on their boss Y, even if that would get them fired if people found out??

just imagine anthropological aliens up in space sitting there being like, 'ahh i see, human social hierchaies are indeed complex'
