@@Watersiteplay I mean no one really knows much about pirates of that era, lots of illiteracy among pirates and anti pirate propaganda being put out. But on the whole, yeah it's very reasonably historically accurate and not crazily less accurate than other pirate content. Even finding each other isn't that bizarre. It's not like pirates sat around in the middle of the ocean waiting to get lucky. There were only so many places you could go for repairs and supplies, not to mention where you could be reasonably certain to find prize ships. It's how piracy worked after all. Apart from Stede's crew on the Revenge if you didn't loot you weren't getting paid and if you weren't getting paid or the supplies were close to running out mutiny would be a better choice than death. So successful captains stuck around the shipping lanes until they headed back to wherever their home base was.

Honestly, I saw the fanart as was like: "New ship that will never canonically sail? Seems cool." Then I heard it was about pirates, so I gave in and watched the show. And.. I expected gay but I didn't expect GAY- (Lucius was a huge help honestly.) So... Pleasantly surprised. Now obsessed with fandom. And probably gonna look at some Gay vampires next.

[@GreyWithAnE42]

LITERALLY SAME I’m so used to popular shows, especially stuff that isn’t anime, just leaving it implied, because they don’t want to “upset the cishet audience”. But then they like- they actually KISSED. MAN, when I tell you I was grinning like an idiot the entire time I was watching this show- like all the little ways we see them slowly start to care more and more about each other, especially when we see Ed the moments before called for an Act of Grace, he look desperate. It’s just- aaaa I’m so so happy, especially with the non-binary representation!

[@JohnDoeisnthonest]

@@GreyWithAnE42 Omg- Don't even get me started on Jim. They did them practically perfectly under the circumstances! The questioning like, 'So.. do we refer to you as a lass now or...?', and the final point being, "I'm just Jim. Has anything really changed?" I literally had to pause there for a lil' bit. It made my Pangender heart burst with happiness in so many ways. The little actions before The Act of Grace too? The red handkerchief? (napkin? Some shii I dunno-) The way Ed IMMEDIATELY went to Stede after all the rich people upset, and made fun of him, instead of acting out as soon as he realized like before? The way he gets so comfortable with Stede so fast he's willing to lose Izzy? Those boys make me WEAK-

[@spookyho5994]

seriously, I went straight to “what we do in the shadows” after ofmd 😭

I really thought they were going the "Lucius as the token gay" route at first, and kept thinking "well they did all that but no way are they going to make the main two actually gay and like canonically and explicitly have a romantic relationship/feelings because that just doesn't happen often" and then THEY DID

I don't think I've even read a fanfic where Lucius actually died. In all of them, even the angsty ones, he's still alive. The fandom just decided 'nuh-uh, we're not doing that'. We need our boy alive. (And anyway, he has to be alive if the writers want to bring the crew back together. There is no chance of redemption for Ed and Izzy otherwise.)

@@clarencehemphill3403 It's mostly a part of being underrepresented in media and being made to feel dumb for hoping to be represented.

I could relate to most characters, but I never saw myself in them. I try to keep a healthy distance to them, in order to not become toxic or something like that, but I can't fault other people for clinging onto every scrap of representation they can find.

Question about fandom (unrelated to Our Flag Means Death, I'm just generally curious): I'm a Special Education major. Recently we learned about an evidence based practice for helping students with autism learn and practice life and social skills called Power Cards. Basically, you come up with a behavior goal the student needs to work on like keeping their stuff together, asking for help, using polite language, sharing toys, etc. then you make them a card with a picture of their special interest and 3-4 simple steps to do the behavior goal including why that relates to the special interest. Ex: My Power Rangers books are special, so when I come to class I will put them in the special box to keep them safe until it's time to read them again; or Obi Wan Kenobi puts his lightsaber away when he's done with it, If I put my materials away when I'm done with them like Obi Wan I can always find them when I need them; or Firefighters follow directions to keep themselves and others safe and do their jobs well, I can follow directions like a firefighter. My question is, if I also like the thing my students are obsessed with, is this an extremely short and sweet fanfic or because the entire intended audience consists of one specific student does it not count?

@@hah-no. Did you ever do Social Stories as a kid? It's like that but shorter. All it really does is use the special interest to reinforce good habits and explain why they're good habits.

@@mckayleepugmire9947 you're all good! i didn't take offense to it, i just thought it was connected to the show somehow 😁 (bruh i just saw that it says it's unrelated i-- 😂)

I love how accurate my izzy fixation is represented here thank you

[@jsantiago9485]

I expect this to always be the fandom standard! Stanning the found family crew all the way! Love the crew, Stede, BlackBonnet, Queen Widow Mary- only lady to give widows a good name

[@anniespring8986]

I watched this show today in one sitting and I didn’t think it would hit me this hard at all- I’ve said half of the things in this video to my poor family today and they have no clue what I’m talking about.

[@roqiroha_noodle8295]

the way I have been every. single. one of these. (in the span of about 20 minutes.) this is perfect!! lucius is in the WALLS I say!

[@EnkeliKauneus]

How did you portray my braincell processing this? This is so darn accurate it’s embarrassing. I think I’ve been through all these stages throughout the series! Thankyou for this! 🤣🥰😜❤️🏴‍☠️

Who would be in your harem (reverse or otherwise)? Mine would be - Seto Kaiba - Joey Wheeler - Ryou Bakura - Jesse Anderson - Crow Hogan - Kalin Kessler - Jason Todd - Dick Grayson - Jaime Reyes - Lloyd Garmadon - Zane Julien - Cole Brookstone - Chat Noir - Peter Parker - Zuko - Ginji (Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi)

Buttons is my comfort character. Every time that funky dude comes on screen I smile.

[@emilyrattini8462]

Never heard of it before now, but I now need to watch it immediately. Especially since discovering Visions of Atlantis, which is pirate metal on a much more wholesome level than Alestorm.

[@teamilkandhoneys]

Thanks for this, listening to Visions Of Atlantis now and enjoying it

[@angryhistoryguy5657]

I have had literally all of these conversations over the last two weeks.

[@ADragonAmongRoses]

I kinda love how this fandom is so great that none of these personas are cringe to me. Like, surprise of Izzy fans, but it's a little thing. AND HE RETWEETED WHAT?!

[@maoyuyue9983]

The fact that I’m every single one of them- This show is consuming my soul, stealing all my braincells and keeping my heart as a hostage

[@daishoryujin95]

To me this show is like Month Python by way of Wes Anderson

[@crow-jane]

I can’t unsee it now. I think you’re right.

[@marquis911]

Perfect description of Taika's work.

[@hufflepuff23402]

Honestly this show is just so wholesome I absolutely love it. Like I keep looking up KZbin videos and clips from the show because it’s just so cute I need MOREEEE.

[@ademers03]

And here I go into this fandom, confident I'm going to LOVE THIS

[@seineevee]

Not joking, this is the video that pushed me over the edge and into seeing OFMD
