Imagine telling someone on 2014 tumblr that in 2022 there’s gonna be a new superwholock (our flag means good shadows or smth) but with actual canon queer characters and writers that don’t actively hate you. Dan and Phil are actually together. Oh and misha collins is freaking bi
I’m 100% convinced that Izzy is going to get kissed on the mouth by the end of this season but I also have no idea who by. Like Frenchie?? Ed?? Stede?? Fang??? Lucius?? Roach?? Ricky??? Calico Jack back from the dead?!? A new character?? All very possible.
I wanna talk about frenchie being part of Blackbeard’s new crew. Cause I know he’s treated as haha dumb sometimes on the show (the women + cats comments/ can’t read or write, ) but I think he’s genuinley one of the smartest members/most experienced people on Stede crew.
‘Izzys in love with Blackbeard not Ed’ as far as Izzys concerned they’re the same person. Izzys known Ed for a lot longer than Stede and to his knowledge his version IS Ed. Stede is Izzys calico Jack, he doesn’t like who Ed is when he’s with Stede he wants his Ed back.
No offence to anyone involved but I simply think con o’neil takes boy kissing much more seriously as an art than Taika and Rhys and it’s criminal that he’s not yet been allowed to show off his skill set on this show.

the smallest angriest most repressed man from season 1 of ofmd is now in drag and comfortable making masochist jokes. I need to go lie down.
As much as I do love stizzy I think it’d be funny if absolutely nothing happened between them they just were slightly less antagonistic mortal enemies to each other for five mins and it makes Ed explode with jealousy for no discernible reason.
I will say I don’t think Izzy hands is for the gays with daddy issues. Not when Ed and Stede are right there. Izzy hands is definitely for the gays with mommy issues. I said what I said.

this scene was also so sad. Not just the implication that Izzy’s brain can’t handle the fact that Ed did this to him but also the way he’s referencing ‘dangling his legs over the side of the ship’ (taunting Ed) as justification for what happened to him.
The way he scammed those rich people *chef kiss* genius. His comments about seeing the whole world and the way he’s so pessimistic about being a pirate thinking they’re all going to die quickly kinda imply that he’s seen that before/ has a lot of pirate experience.
Yall don’t understand the daddy scene comes from Izzy mocking what he thinks gay people are like. Unfortunately he is very gay and gets too far into it and reveals his massive daddy kink. In this essay I will
Djenks: “yea it’s sort of a father and son relationship”
Con o’neil after portraying on of the most devastating examples of mutually unrequited, messy, toxic, horny, devoted love out there:
👁️👄👁️
Anyways entering headcanon territory but I think Frenchie is a very smart character who may be acting dumb sometimes because this is the most fun he’s had as a pirate in a while and I’m interested to see how that changed in season two. Also skrunkly
This interview is so funny because misha collins clearly left thinking Larry King was a little weird and Larry King clearly left thinking the supernatural set was the yaoi capital of North America.
Idk we didn’t get a lot of frenchie backstory in season one just a couple of hints but i wanna see more of him. Cuase Stedes entire crew know how to sow I wanna see what else about him made him be the only crew member (asides the clearly competent Jim) Ed didn’t maroon.

okay I know I’ve made similar jokes but this is actually low key kinda sad. Like at this point there really is nothing Blackbeard can do that would stop Izzy from loving him. Bros lost toes, a leg and nearly his life and he’s still devoted to this man.
I know they didn’t include it cause it probably didn’t fit right in the scene or whatever. But I’m forever going to be fascinated by what this scene looked like with the knife throw and how last minute they cut it out for it to still be in the trailer.

"yeah well blackbeard says a lot of things. but what did he say about me specifically?" He’s literally just a girl in love idk what more you want from him.
Remember when Izzy said “Ed the crew are exhausted, I’m worried about you, I have love for you.” And then Ed shot his leg off and Izzy went “serves me right.”… just what psychological horrors are you going through to think that’s the logical conclusion to that?!?!?
Seth Meyers, Amy Poehler, Bill Hader, Maya Rudolph, Jason Sudeikis and John Mulaney all being nominated for Emmys this year…. It’s like an snl 2007 reunion.
‘Think about what you’re doing Edward, do you really want to lick the kings boots?’ Israel hands, about five mins after he licked the kings boots to get Ed back.
“but nobody knows izzy pushed Ed to be the kraken!!!” It’s genuinely so funny to me that people think an actual conversation that’s gonna happen in season 2 is Ed going “I’m sorry I killed and tortured half your crew but what you don’t understand is Izzy was mean to me one time”
“Do you think I wouldn’t know the smell of my rotting former first mate?” I would know him by smell alone. His rot is so distinctive I can recognise it amongst all the scents in a ship. His rot is mine. I can pick it out in the air and know he’s alive. You can’t hide him from me.
Shout out to that time Seth meyers got so annoyed at horatio Sanz (who would often break in sketches with Fallon) for breaking that he live on air said ‘you blew it’

izzy hands *several toes down in an ongoing unhealthy relationship that is destroying him mentally and physically* also izzy hands *oh look it’s scowly face 😒*
Complain about the vico and con thirst trap/TikTok dancing videos all you want but within 24 hours they’ve literally combined received more views than the actual ofmd video did in a month. Like omg vico is *promoting* promoting this show.
So actually fun fact izzy never once violently put his hands on Ed and Ed actually did that to izzy. Multiple times. In some very extreme ways, with the implication that more violence happened off screen.
Whilst I’m posting hot takes I’m sorry but the ‘oooh daddy’ scene will never illicit anywhere near the levels of cringe as Lucius’ ‘cream of the Caribbean’ speech did. In that moment I longed for death.
Con O’Neil really walked into the audition for Izzy hands and said cool character but what if he was small and gay and a little bit of a masochist and David Jenkins hasn’t been normal since.
#ofmds2spoilers
man the more I think about it the sadder Izzy’s death is to me. Like the level of violence he faced was so disproportionate and he never really got a proper apology or reason for it. And the fact that his final moments are him apologising to Ed is so.
Can I say something? Maybe a little controversial but I don’t think Izzy enjoyed the toe thing. I know it’s a popular hc like I think he was thrown very quickly and aggressively into a weird fucked up subspace to try and cope hence the smile and the ‘yes Blackbeard 🥺’
Make your gay characters complex. Problematic. Nasty fuckers who do bad things. Unapologetic. Evil. Manipulative. Unlikeable. Three dimensional. Villainous. Not just the ‘cute’ teens holding hands.
