Our Flag Means Gay - Blog Posts

caught myself relating too much to stede then pleasantly realising its bcs of how autistic-coded this man is and i love that the fandom sees it too!!!!!!

Just ranted to my friend and:

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩SPOILERS FOR EP 8 AND 9🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Do you know what's sad about ep 8-9

Stede left his entire livelihood behind to go be a pirate and then he meets Ed and Ed doesn't want to be blackbeard anymore, he's thinking about giving it all up and then it gets to episode 9 where they get their comeuppance when they get arrested by the English and call for an act of grace which strips them of their piracy and means they work for the English instead. Stede set out to be somebody, to get a name for himself, to become bigger than all of his bullies, to be greater than them and he gets that chance stripped away from him and Ed- eds just okay with it because he doesn't have to be blackbeard anymore and then they have this whole conversation where stede asks what makes Ed happy and eds like- you and then they kiss and stede says you make stede happy and then Ed comes up with an idea to move to China and things and start a new life and get new backstories and you can see how conflicted stede is because he wanted to be somebody and with this he cant. But he so desperately wants Ed too because its the only time he ever felt love and its painful because he so clearly wants an eventful life but he also really wants to choose Ed too and it's just- painful

All I want is for them to be happy😭

They better renew OFMD, If not for the gays, do it for our fallen brother.

I love these gae pirates SM

izzy isn’t homophobic

Nigel and Chauncey getting stabbed/shot in the same eye.

Everyone blaming Stede when it was just an accident.

ofmd spoilers

The parallel of Ed saying he could fake his death. And also that scene where he said he’d thought he’d have a cooler death than this. “Like being eaten by a tiger…”

And Stede faking his death with a jungle cat.

i NEED someone to get married Elizabeth Swan and Will Turner style. PLEASE

taika waititi is a silver foxy mother fucker and i want to lick him up and down

I think Mary and Stede really do love each other. Not in a romantic way of course. But they definitely love each other. In an unconditional, under the surface kinda way. They hated being with each other because they didn’t make each other happy in the roles that they were playing.

Them talking it through (as a crew).

I think that if they met under different circumstances and played different roles in each other’s lives, it would have been different. Good different. Really good different.

That’s where they’re going. They figured out why they made each other so miserable. And the fact that they want to make it right, to make each other happy. Shows that they love each other.

I like to imagine that they stay good friends. That Mary and Doug get married and have a good life together with the kids. The kids love Doug.

Stede goes off and finds Ed. They realize they love each other. They stay together. They sail the seas.

Every once in a while, they come back and visit Mary and Doug and the kids. The kids listen to them tell stories. Alma is fascinated. They take them on the ship.

Everyone is happy.

Samba Schutte’s Instagram is the treasure we were looking for all along.

also Taika Waititi, David Jenkins, and Con O’Neill’s twitters

Stede not being cut out for the pirate life when he was on the ship out at sea, b e i n g a p i r a t e.

But Stede handling himself perfectly and being all feral and pirate-y while back on land. Him being able to talk about death without exploding. Him putting a knife to Doug’s throat without a second thought. The oomf. The oomf that Blackbeard taught him. The “Now that’s a fuckery.” LIKE COME ON

ofmd spoilers

Not “Stede” getting crushed by a harpsichord in episode 10 after saying we must face the music when they were found by the Spanish.

I know it’s just an expression but that’s funny come on.

Vico Ortiz said on their tiktok that in an original draft, Jim’s favorite color was going to be purple, but it was changed to teal. There’s also a little detail of Olu’s earring being teal.

Stede and Ed are also shown in teal and purple.

I like the idea of Olu and Stede being teal. And Jim and Ed being purple.

The parallel of Stede at the beginning, leaving Mary and his family to sail the sea. Alone on this big ship with all his things. Nervous and scared about how he’ll fare as a pirate.

Then Stede at the end, leaving to find Ed and his home, where he belongs. Alone on this tiny boat with nothing. Confident and determined. Happy.

It’s not the kraken and the lighthouse. It’s the ship and the lighthouse !!!!!!!

Stede and Mary got married in front of the lighthouse, and they were told to be lighthouses to each other. Mary gave Stede and lighthouse painting for their anniversary. Stede gave Mary a ship for their anniversary. These little gifts represent who they are to each other. Stede is the lighthouse. Mary was supposed to be the ship, but she didn’t like it. She didn’t want it.

Stede goes off to sea, and he takes the lighthouse painting, and the model of the ship, and the ship itself. Along the way, he meets Ed.

Ed is fascinated by the model ship and the big ship. Instead of thinking it’s ridiculous like Mary and everyone did, he thinks it’s incredible.

When they realize the Spanish are into them, and they need a plan, they say, “We need to be lighthouses.” This goes back to choosing Ed over Mary. Except Ed isn’t the lighthouse. Stede is the light of the lighthouse which the Spanish avoided. Stede is still the lighthouse. You can’t have two lighthouses.

Everything happens, they get caught, Stede goes back to Mary, etc. Mary is living fine without Stede. As Ed said, you’re supposed to avoid lighthouses so you don’t crack up on the rocks. That’s what Mary did. She avoided Stede She wasn’t the ship that goes with Stede’s lighthouse. Ed is.

At the end we see Ed, a mess, looking at the lighthouse painting while on the ship. He went back to the ship. He chose the ship. He’s the ship. And he’s a mess because he didn’t avoid the lighthouse. He cracked up on the rocks.

By the time Ed realized he was the ship, he had already crashed.

Hope my rambling makes sense.

the feels ™️

Most people know Stede and Ed are both based on real people.

Less people know that Stede Bonnet was hung to death in December 1718 and Edward Teach was killed in battle with sailors November 1718.

And S1 is set in 1717.

This worries me for s2 or future seasons.

Made this to celebrate ofmd s2 release... those who get it get it...

This scene was giving hardcore YouTube apologist vibes like “abide by the guidelines”?! 🤔🤔🤔🤔 sounds rather familiar…

So I saw people talk about grey star jacket that Ed's wearing on the picture with Jackie.

And when I watched analysis of the trailer I noticed that Buttons is wearing the same jacket (and i didn't see anyone talking about it). So it might be a uniform or they were wearing the same thing at different points of time.

Also we saw Stede wearing a red cravat. And some people assumed it was Ed's cloth (maybe I'm wrong and I just thought that for a moment).

But I noticed that during the fight scene the guy who was punched by Stede is wearing a similar cravat.

I drew Ed wearing Stedes clothes cuz im sad after the last ep :')

omfd and good omens

so as i’ve been reading fics for ofmd, yk, as you do, i can’t help but notice that a lot of the dialogue (especially from stede) in these fics is very aziraphale like? it almost feels like since we associate ineffable husbands with blackbonnet we’ve also just decided that the dialogue should look the same for them. 

i can’t really pinpoint it better than this but the way stede says stuff like “dear” or “darling boy” in the fics because canonically stede doesn’t talk to ed like that. obviously i’m not against it but it IS exactly how aziraphale talks to crowley in good omens, canonically. 

i think it probably has something to do with the cinematic parallels that everyone keeps pointing out between the two, but has anyone else noticed that?

thought it was interesting, anyway, carry on~
