Our Flag Means Death 02x06 - Calypso's birthday

(the song at the beginning is "Wasting My Time" by Harry Mosco)

[@politemenace5781]

Izzy finally feeling comfortable enough that he expresses himself through drag and song instead of throwing an insult at Wee John and then drinking alone in the corner. my heart

[@hannahgoodman8677]

Ed being protective of Stede is my favourite thing

[@ericamacs3875]

Yes so sweet

[@Huh9631]

I’m glad Izzy didn’t make fun of Wee John, I swear his character growth is one of my fav parts of this season

[@tigeechan2040]

I like to imagine when Wee John and Izzy were looking in the mirror together, Izzy asked, “Can you help me with my Look?”

[@Huh9631]

@@tigeechan2040 omg yes and being shy about it cuz yk 🤍

[@gardnerhill9073]

OFMD Season 2: Come for the Ed/Stede reconciliation, stay for the Izzy redemption.

[@deba6468]

Izzy putting on make up and singing La Vie En Rose was something I have never thought before, but I love this so much, I love this grumpy little man so much now

[@weebpotato2366]

Wee John ate with his look and truly embodied the spirit of calypso

[@martidodger7106]

Can we talk about how Con and Kristen are the oldest on the crew who are out (Kristen is gay, Con identifies as queer) and how amazing it must be to do beautiful drag make up and feel absolutely comfortable in their exploration and expression that them wearing drag isn’t for the butt of a joke or it in any way diminishes who Wee John and Izzy are as characters? Like that had to be amazing for these two older guys to have lived through so many reductive portrayals of queer men and restrictions on how men are supposed to portray and carry themselves, to just be free to wear make up and straight up serve

[@tigeechan2040]

I’m crying 😢 because I hadn’t thought about the actors behind the characters and this is giving me all the feels.

[@AdaSoto]

Just being surrounded by younger queer actors able to live their authentic lives must be such an amazing feeling for them.

[@ell2205m]

Have u watched uncle? Izzy’s actor wears women’s clothes every moment he’s on scene and no one makes fun of him in and everyone else acts as if it’s completely normal. It’s really refreshing to see, especially in a comedy that isn’t explicitly queer. Other Characters often mention being into the same gender and no one even seems shocked, a bit like ofmd in that way but the show is completely different. It’s so nice to see, especially in 2 different shows

[@alexandrapaul9448]

The throuple hug is just so perfect :')

[@martidodger7106]

I knoooow! I started chanting “Poly! Poly! Poly!”

[@anneb799]

@@martidodger7106 I love this tiny aspect with them. Insted of fighting on who gets to be with who, they simply say fuck it and love another

[@mgatwood42]

I love how Izzy let himself be curious and explore something new instead of rejecting it for being too scary and unfamiliar. He's finally opening up and getting comfortable with himself - just look at him and Wee John cuddling and caressing each other during the song! Jim, Olu and Archie are adorable together, too. I was worried Archie might throw off the dynamic, but she fits in so well with them.❤

[@knightmarionwikstrom]

as soon as I started hearing the words "hold me close" from Izzy's mouth, I physically and mentally had to prepare myself

[@shahrazed1000]

Can we talk about the little hand gesture that Ed makes inviting Stede to come stand next to him? It's giving me life 🎉

[@bellalysewinchester]

Physically I am here, mentally I am at Calypso's birthday party

[@b.n1429]

This was my absolute favorite scene of this episode. I love the drama and action but to see everyone just let loose and express themselves is heartwarming.

[@kaamos1243]

First the crocs on the first season and now they are having a full drag queen moment on the ship, love it! Only this show can do a nice little blend of 1700s and the modern era.

[@cherie..cherry]

Ned literally said “I’m doing it for the Lolz” 😂😫

[@finnmanielle9129]

Jim in this party scene is an absolute fucking delight

[@TheAnseup]

I knew Con could sing but omg this was too beautiful 😍🥹🥰

[@definetelynotsaturn]

izzy wearing makeup is one of the best things in this entire show. yes ed and stede are amazing but DID YOU SEE THAT LOOK

[@TheSkyCaptain]

I love the line "drama on the cheeks".😊

[@abednovak2998]

Ned low I will hate you forever because you ruined the party, interrupted Izzy's song, and Ed and Stede never got to dance (at least they got to continue some things, but not all the things)🥺

[@awesome13awfulness]

I didn't realize how much I missed Val until I saw Con this episode 💕

[@constanzaconiglioni3273]

1:05 LA TEMPESTAD SE ACERCA 1:30 FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS I love the little Jim speaking spanish moments

[@AdaSoto]

Thank you! I've been looking all over for this.

[@thescarvedinsect]

This scene kiiiinda made me ship Wee John and Izzy. XD

[@MaddyThomas100]

Omg yesss! I kinda wish we got a scene with Wee John helping Izzy put on the makeup🥺🥰

[@AdaSoto]

Izzy did have a spring in his step the next morning.

[@MaddyThomas100]

This scene give me so much comfort it's unreal!! 🥺🥰

[@lillianward2810]

I love that David Jenkins finally gave Con a chance to show off his Tony-nominated, Olivier winning voice.

[@moonlaney]

so which one of yous sold their soul to get us this scene

[@gferraro2916]

Stede was right, Low's worst crime that night was fucking up Calypso's Birthday.

[@rubyo1171]

the way they were allowed to ALL be happy for like 0.2 secs and that’s all we get-

[@stryder3211]

Gosh I love Izzy so much. 😭❤

[@gardnerhill9073]

I have been to Pride parades in San Francisco that were less joyously queer than this episode.

[@ericamacs3875]

Love this so much. I would love Izzy and Wee John to be together.

[@MaddyThomas100]

Omg yesss! I kinda wish we got a scene with Wee John helping Izzy put on the makeup🥺🥰

[@KatCrunch13]

Last season i kinda hated izzy ngl but now i love him so much omg hes probably one of faves ❤

[@uzurijocastilloreyes9365]

Aaaaaaa but how Ed protects Stede!!! I love you both .❤❤❤

[@WendyMarySheridan]

I just wish we saw the party continuing after the torturing! Izzy singing La Vie en Rose in full makeup is one of the best things in the show!!

[@HunterDriguez]

That sounds like…electronic music coming from a speaker 😂

[@user-ow2cn6cx4w]

Wait does this mean that in the show Izzy canonically invented la vie en rose? I don't think it already existed in 1717

[@fuzzyjozsi]

What is the name of the dance song in the beginning of the scene???

[@springleafy]

"Wasting My Time" by Harry Mosco

[@mmechrizma]

The song in the background? I can't tell what it is. Anyone know that song?

[@springleafy]

hi, it's Wasting My Time by Harry Mosco

[@CharminKing]

OMG! What in the world is going on with Roach’s eyes at 2:00?? Did something actually fall into the actor’s eyes or was Roach that surprised at Izzy’s singing? 😂

[@lpcoral2000]

Who the hell is calipso?

[@ThePrincessCH]

She's a figure in Greek myth.

[@stellasdoesstuff]

Greek goddess/nymph who lived on her own island. Odysseus is stranded on her island for years while on the way home from the Trojan War. In The Odyssey, we are first introduced to Odysseus shortly before he leaves Calypso's island.

[@georgiasoaps]

In the episode they explain that saying it's Calypso's birthday is just an excuse to have a big party.

[@harmonylynx252]

This may actually be my favorite scene in the entire show. It’s not full of action and adventure, but love and family. They r all a family and it’s beautiful. They are all finally together, both physically and mentally back. 💖🥹
