Sobbing Actual Tears 🄺

Y’all I love the dynamic in episode 5 so much…

One of the reasons I love ofmd is because Ed and Stede are both repressed in ways that are inherently exclusive to queer men but in completely different ways. It makes the way they learn from each other so interesting and informs what they need from each other.

Y’all I Love The Dynamic In Episode 5 So Much…

Stede’s able to present himself in a way that reads as queer by modern standards his whole life because of his aristocratic status, but he doesn’t want it. (And yes modern standards matter in a historical fiction show that has lines like ā€œew, lameā€ šŸ˜‚). His whole life he’s been blamed by everyone in his life for not being ā€œmanā€ enough, not being able to even fake it till he makes it. The fact that his queerness is worn on his sleeve at all times with only the virtue of period typical straight obliviousness keeping him hidden makes it so he almost kind of has a ā€œbeen there done thatā€ attitude about it. After all, it only ever lead to bad things.

Meanwhile Blackbeard is the exact masculine ideal Stede thinks he (himself) should be, and he doesn’t want that. Ed’s the perfect definition of a ā€œreal manā€ but it’s something he was forced to hastily toss up like a wall for defense decades ago without actually considering what makes him feel like himself. He lights up at the promise of colorful fancy clothes, he likes being soft and kind of ridiculous, he wants to be the one who’s wooed by someone he likes. But he can’t ever really have an outlet for those things because he accidentally became the literal poster child of traditional masculinity. (It’s the classic ā€œran into the closet so hard you broke through the wall and don’t even know where tf you are nowā€ lol)

So what happens in episode 5?

Ed let’s Stede ā€œsave the dayā€ instead of him which culminates in a ship on fire (peak swash buckling), and Stede let’s Ed stand under the moonlight and basically hear that he’s pretty.

People complaining about Lockwood and Co in AAALLLLL the Dead Boy Detectives posts on YouTube and Instagram, and alllll the complaining and speculating in the DEAD BOY DETECTIVES tags.

PLEASE please stop. I’m SORRY about your show. I’m sorry it was cancelled.

Dead Boy Detectives is a property that ties into The Sandman, was created decades before the Lockwood books, and is based on Neil Gaiman characters.

There’s a lot of reason for us to be happy and excited and I’m here in these tags to celebrate THIS show.

Complain to NETFLIX via direct message, tags, DMs, tweets whatever but can you PLEASE let us be excited for THIS show?

https://archiveofourown.org/works/64328155

i’m gonna tag people here if you commented on the original post, obviously if you want your name removed feel free to reply or message me!!!

@rowlev @pipthecow @non-main-branch @pre-raphaelite-s @dat-carovieh @mmmerlenoir @justhugsplz

concept: season three episode eleven of TOS where kirk and spock are sped up, but mccoys counteragent to slow them down doesn’t work.

they’re stuck on the enterprise together for years in their perceived time all alone with the rest of the crew in near suspended animation.

spirk ensues.

they finally find a way back and they’re like literally married and the entire crew is like. what the fuck??

While we like to joke about Izzy being in the wrong genre, I would argue that there are in fact at least five distinct genre universes in the world of Our Flag Means Death, and all of them have different rules.

Stede Bonnet, and his crew when they’re around him, live in a Muppet movie. I didn’t come up with this analogy but it’s so accurate. Insane physical comedy and comedy-action where no one really gets hurt. Mild peril but you know everything is gonna work out. Terrible puns and sight gags, but room for sweet, genuine emotional moments too. The rules of time, space, probability and logic will bend for a good joke.

Izzy Hands is in a grimdark action/drama where if someone gets stabbed in the gut they will behave normally and fucking die. (Probably slowly and painfully, of sepsis.) Crucially I think Izzy also lives in a genre where you can only be subtextually queer, and violence (done for or with or to each other) is the only acceptable form of intimacy between men. This is why being forcibly dragged into Stede’s world, where everyone is busy having silly low-stakes misadventures and being gay and emotionally available all over the main text–and seeing his Subtextual Boyfriend go into this world and love it–sends him round the twist.

The British, Spanish and other imperialist militaries are in a Master and Commander-style naval adventure where they’re the heroes. This is why they all take it completely seriously when Stede (unintentionally) kills Badminton and takes hostages, even though we can see that he bumbled his way into it ass-backwards. This is also why Stede is so shocked to get actually for real stabbed aboard the Spanish ship. (ā€œDid you mean to do that?ā€) He didn’t realize until that moment that he’d stepped into a different genre. The stabbing is one of the first Surprise Genre Switch moments we get and in retrospect it’s very important for setting up that in this world, the threat of getting hurt or killed is very real–which we need to understand to know that there are real stakes much later, when Stede almost gets executed by the British.

ā€œYou’re alright darlinā€™ā€ The endearment slipped from his lips faster than he could process it. He tensed, waiting for a sharp retort. It never came. Instead, he felt Spock’s chest rumble slightly against his own, a deep thrum that made him bite his tongue to keep from laughing with glee when he realized where it was coming from.Ā 

Spock was purring.
