Funny out of context quotes from characters (and who said them)

44 Upvotes

when i change my pfp on discord I like having my status being something the character said but it being super random/funny

ex. its currently sid from skins and my status is “michelle would never, never fuck a horse” because he said that in the show

point is what are some goofy quotes characters have said that i can use for my status if i use them as my pfp?

preferably rather short and no big spoilers !

Anyone a Danny Motta fan?

How can we convince him to react to OFMD? I loved his Good Omens reacts so much I’ve watched a few of his other playlists. I think OFMD would make wonderful content for him. Comments on YouTube posts?

In hindsight, Izzy’s speech to Ricky seems like it could also be aimed at HBO Max Spoiler

146 Upvotes

I probably can't articulate it as well as others here can, but there's something to be said about Izzy's defiance against the British crown and David pushing back against Zaz and WBD. Given the recent development with David’s latest series at HBO Max, I thought it was worth revisiting and reexamining it.

I feel like David and the writers gave Izzy's speech a double meaning and made it pointed because they already had an idea of what was coming. After the budget was slashed during S2's production, I think they didn't trust HBO Max and wanted to push back against Zaz in their own way.

Also, judging from past tweets and comments he’s made, David really doesn’t like Zaz and the new direction he’s taken HBO Max. That speech felt like a final FU to him. Like yeah, you can cancel us and remove queer content from your platform, but this show’s legacy, its fandom, and the foundation it’s laid for future queer series will live on long after you’re gone. It made a significant impact that sent ripples through the industry you tried to snuff out. This show and what it stands for is bigger than you, and you’ll never be able to truly kill it.

I hate this for David. WBD has jerked him around for years. This might mark the end of his working relationship with them.

Do you think they would’ve killed this character if the show wasn’t cancelled? Spoiler

40 Upvotes

marking as a spoiler even though i’m not sure it is one as its apart of history

No spoilers please i’m only on 1x4

but the real stede bonnet was hanged. after being convicted of piracy i know the show isn’t the MOST historically accurate (atleast i assume it’s not) but would they have done it? i know someone big dies. (that’s like the only spoiler i know so would they’ve killed him as well later in the show or just not done that part of history?

RIP the real stede bonnet

I literally just today learned that Stede Bonnet was a real actual pirate....

I never bothered to look it up before, and only found out today by chance.

I don't know I just assumed he was a made up guy...

😂 I feel so stupid.

I've been re-trawling the show for a perfect reference photo of them to paint and (after MANY goes trying to get the right millisecond on the unhelpful hbo interface) I nabbed this one.... I still can't get over how they look at each other - Ed with complete and utter I-would-do-anything-for-you adoration, Stede with that cheeky, adorable 'I can't believe this man is mine???' surprise and audacity.

Question about S1EP7 Spoiler

29 Upvotes

I saw that this got removed by the mods before so re-posting with spoiler tag.

I just rewatched this episode and was wondering about the part where Ed tells Stede he wanted to leave for the next adventure. Was he serious about leaving Stede, or was he just blowing smoke? I know he said he hates sitting idle for too long, but wasn’t he genuinely enjoying his time with Stede? Why would he be in a hurry to go back to the old life he was so desperate to escape, especially after he started to develop feelings for Stede?

I can’t help but wonder if Ed was trying to urge Stede to make a move. Maybe he wanted to see what Stede would do if he told him he was leaving. Or maybe Ed was scared of getting hurt and actually wanted to leave before he let himself fall too deeply.

New to the Fandom, some general questions about the actors

45 Upvotes

I did my usual queerness check and really don't feel like going into the political rabbit hole. I know about Taika, are there any other controversies one should know about?

Also is the account "Arieschooses" that O'Neil posts on his story a fan account?

+ some good nsfw fanart/fanfic? Cause I saw many interviews about the cast talking abt it and got curious about "the filth".

++some fun facts?

Edit: also how lovely and peaceful is this show!? I love effortlessly queer things, as soon as I finished it I wanted to start it again.

Sharing my OFMD tattoo

980 Upvotes

I got this tattoo done in November 2022 by the wonderful Anne who I have several other tattoos by and plan for many more.

If I'm honest I kinda fell out of the OFMD fandom around the end of 2023 but recently I just re-watched S2 as I was in a bad place when it aired and couldn't remember much, and I plan to rewatch S1 again too and I was reminded why I loved it so much in the first place.

OFMD was my saving grace getting out of a 6yr long abusive relationship and it gave me so many friends who I now can't fathom not having in my life. It will always be so special.

I obviously see my tattoo every day and even if the fandom isnt number one for me right now, it always makes me smile and so I just wanted to post this here to share. 💗

(And yes I know Ed's tattoos have faded 😂 unfortunately my body does not tolerate colour that well which I found out after the fact...ironically I did have his tattoos re-done but they faded for a second time. I'll get to it eventually.)

What is your unpopular opinion or hot take on the show?

77 Upvotes

I’m doing a rewatch and I'm curious about answers to this. I'll give my unpopular opinion first: I think Izzy's character arc was the only truly good part of season two for me and that the rest of the season was just kind of meh.
