I just started taking antidepressants for the first time this year and have never heard of this. With cold and flu season approaching, this is pretty important.
How many times will I thank
@danjlevy
for giving me what I needed to come out and feel safe and accepted? Idk but honestly it will never be enough, I can’t imagine where I’d be today without the incredible things he’s brought into the world
wild to me that ofmd is about people reinventing/rediscovering themselves in middle age and yet there are so many younger fans forgetting or choosing to ignore that fact entirely trying to gatekeep the show from older people. Like. Who do y’all think the show is by? And FOR?
I’ve never sat down to try to fully articulate my thoughts about OFMD but as a “late-blooming” queer person, something about it will always hit harder to me than media focused on queer kids and I want (and frankly deserve tbh) more of it.
@anne_theriault
My parents tell a similar story of when my oldest sister had her first baby. They walked in, the nurse said “oh good, grandma and grandpa are here!” and my mom started looking around for *her* parents.
some days I’m like “I wanna wait until ofmd is completely over before committing to a tattoo” but then I remember that even waiting is no guarantee and that I have a h*rry p*tter tattoo 🥴😔
Y’all really love to celebrate rhys being neurodivergent when it’s just him being cute and quirky and weird 🤪😜🤪 but the moment he displays some of the less socially acceptable traits of it you start talking shit. I see it and so do your neurodivergent friends.
People who are bending over backwards to justify your use of light skin tones in ofmd fan art maybe examine why…. it’s so important to you…. that their skin be light? like really think about it. think hard. do some some introspection.
It will never cease to amaze me that there are people who watch schitts creek and follow dan on social media and then still seem surprised when he comes out in support of like.. progressive ideals? and science? and basic human decency? lol
Taika saying after s1 that ofmd made him fall in love with acting again and during s2 specifically saying getting to improvise with rhys made him want to do the role more ,,,
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that
@SchittsCreek
finished airing over a year ago and
@calumshanlin
is still doing incredible work to engage with fans and give us fun things to look forward to? We’re very lucky
I don’t think I’ll ever emotionally recover from Kristian saying he often is able to tell OFMD fans apart from other fans when meeting us because “you guys look like me” 😭
gonna start gatekeeping rhys from people who’ve never actually seen someone with anxiety/neurodivergence have to sit in front of an audience of literal thousands of people and answer questions
Here’s the thing,
@Caseybloys
— it’s really hard to want to get invested in anything that
@StreamOnMax
@wbd
is producing nowadays. Why would we, when one of your most successful and highly-rated shows was canceled without rhyme or reason?
@OurFlagOnMax
deserved better.
#SaveOFMD
I’ll never understand why people think the Fold In the Cheese scene is the funniest in the show when the “I’m sorry I’m not a condom” Pregnancy Test scene exists
happy one year to this iconic
@TaikaWaititi
instagram post ❤️ I’m honestly just as excited for all the sweet s2 promo we’re sure to get as I am for s2 itself— if not more so.
“Oh Murray, you wouldn’t swear at us?”
Murray Hewitt (and his little suitcase) live in my mind rent-free so you know I had to embroider it because of who I am as a person.

Look, I don’t have the emotional energy to get into a big debate about anything right now, but I will say this: policing what other people do with their money is a slippery slope.
Spending money on *anything* is going to seem frivolous in comparison to humanitarian aid. /
As we’re preparing to say goodbye, I did my best to sum up everything
@SchittsCreek
has meant to me, but truthfully I could write a novel and it would never be enough. Thank you

Hi
@Nick_Offerman
! You broke hearts and became a queer icon with your role in
#TheLastofUs
. Bill & Frank’s story was told within one episode, but Ed & Stede’s needs one more season. Any chance you can help us
#SaveOFMD
by signing and sharing our petition?
No but I had such a beautiful convo with Kristian where I thanked him for being unafraid to take up space. In a world where queer people (and ESPECIALLY queer people in bigger bodies) are constantly told to make ourselves small, it means so much—
Don’t forget- as upsetting as it is to hear about What Could Have Been, we need to keep renewal efforts and messages *positive*. I want the team to have more creative control over s3 just like everyone else does, but we need to ensure we GET a third season first.
#RenewAsACrew
The vibes I’m getting from the
#SaveOFMD
campaign are akin to someone annoying their kidnapper so much that they give up and release them. I really don’t think Zaslav knows what he got himself into 💀
it is baffling to me when young people try to drag older people for still being in fandom. When I was growing up, seeing adults still engaged and passionate about “frivolous” things would have done a lot to assuage my fears of becoming boring and complacent as an adult
Idk man I’m just so tired of the “imagine being in fandom in your 30s lmfaoooooooo” discourse that pops up on a regular basis. It’s so boring. Mind ur business. Let people enjoy things, especially things that are meant for them.
This is Darby, named after our fearless captain himself. He’s hoping to see his namesake and role model continue swashbuckling, looting, and falling in love for a third season (and beyond). Who could possibly deny him? 🥺

One fun thing about getting a new hyperfixation is all the little side fixations they spiral into. Thanks to
#OFMD
I found
@cryptidfactor
, which appealed to my love of cryptids. So I embroidered the logo! Hoping to give it to
@rhysiedarby
when I see him in New Haven in July🤞🏻
Unrelated to anything else, every time I see someone shorten “AdoptOurCrew” to “AOC” I briefly wonder what Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has to do with ofmd fandom
I think what bothers me the most is that there are so few examples of this kind of representation specifically- people discovering and learning to embrace their queerness later in life. It speaks to a lot of us in ways that younger people probably can’t fully appreciate.
Picture it-the year is 2021. Rose Apothecary has just opened a second location, in Elmdale. Patrick has been elected to town council. Moira just won an Emmy. Alexis runs a PR firm with offices in New York and LA. Rosebud Motel Group has properties all across North America.
people can and should care about many things simultaneously and express that care in whatever ways feel productive and accessible. and tbh I’m weary of the notion that you have to prove that you care the most, about the most things, but only the right ones, and only the right way
I gotta say for me personally as an individual it is a red flag when someone tries to position themselves as an authority figure/spokesperson in any fandom space and also dictate who other people should be interacting with
I’m glad there are so many queer coming-of-age stories. Maybe if I’d had those growing up I would have figured things out a little sooner. But I see a lot of myself in a story about two fully developed adults having realizations about their sexuality!
People going to future cons with ofmd q & a panels, pls as Kristian more questions about queer rep 🥺 he’s so important to our community in so many ways and deserves to be asked just as many questions about it as nathan and vico
No but it’s really burning me up that people saw rh/ys giving genuine, sweet, heartfelt advice about what he does to make himself feel better when he’s low and are twisting it into some passive-aggressive “touch grass” bullshit
Thinking about Ed fashioning the bride cake topper to look like himself. Thinking about his sidelong glance at Stede during the LuPete wedding. Thinking about potential s3 proposals and a series-ending matelotage and that slow dance they were about to have.
#SaveOFMD
Idk man, I don’t understand the idea that shows like Schitt’s Creek and Ted Lasso being “nice” is somehow a bad thing, but honestly if that’s your only takeaway from them they’re probably not For You to begin with
thinking abt Ed as Jeff the Accountant straight up chugging his champagne when Antoinette starts flirting with him by saying he can finger her dents. the absolute gay panic he experiences. no idea what to do when being flirted with by a woman.
“Never left.”
My first
#OFMD
embroidery project- but almost certainly not my last- is done. (Also my first time basically creating a pattern from scratch!)
Thank you
@david_jenkins__
for this absolute gift of a show ✨💕
I’ll never get over this bc Taika hardly ever takes anything seriously but probably knows how self-deprecating Rhys can be and chose to answer sincerely… Roman Empire etc etc
to see him do it so unapologetically. I’ve felt too big, too weird, too different for my entire life. Seeing him in all his 6’10” glory wearing platform boots, covered in tattoos, dripping in chains and jewelry— not giving a SHIT what anyone else thinks—is EVERYTHING to me.
I’m an Izzy enjoyer but you cannot tell me that him calling Stede a namby-pamby and making fun of Ed for pining after him wasn’t thinly-veiled homophobia lmao like?? what IS this take
a reminder for myself today that other people might benefit from: even if ur fic isn’t counted among “fandom greats”, or isn’t something that everyone has read or constantly recommends, it’s still worth writing. Even if it’s just for you, and maybe a handful of friends.
also friendly reminder that comments like “lol we already knew” or “who did he think he was fooling” are super unhelpful when someone comes out actually! Don’t do that!
Patrick loves Schitt's Creek because it's where he and David fell in love and built their business together and he's not sure he wants to leave 🥺
#SchittsCreek
Not to be a cheeseball on main but there was genuinely a time at the start of the pandemic when I never thought I’d see live music ever again, much less get to go to Toronto again to see Noah play. I’ve never been so glad to be wrong
