Our Flag Means Death 1 x 9-10 | Full-Length Reaction

I had to go back and watch all the after-credit scenes. So cute It's so cool hearing the history

Franklin

Heads up there are post credit scenes in season 2! Fun fact, even though it looks like Edward now just went full emo esthetic with the bleeding heart getting stabbed addition—that actually completed the historical(ly attributed to him) flag of Blackbeard... And historical Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet really did both take the act of grace together, then had some falling out and Blackbeard took the Revenge, threw out his books and stuff and marooned about half of Bonnet's crew (though it was more like 50 people)

need stede and blackbeard to reunite in season 2, though i feel like im gonna end up crying a lot 😭

alienqueen

went into this show thinking it was just gonna be a silly comedy about pirates, and now here i am crying in the season finale 😭 this show is so beautifully queer and heartwarming, i cant wait to get into season 2!!!! 😭💜

alienqueen

True true. Such a proud that And yes I love when comedy shows take serious matters seriously when it comes to it. See you in season 2

Franklin

That is so cool

Franklin

haha true

Franklin

gotcha! Ready to hop in season 2

Franklin

Oh shit. I totally botched that

Franklin

Thanks for sharing all that context with me. But then I see people who love their show with every bone in their body, and I'm always curious as to why. You explaining all this 1,000% makes sense. Where are you from, if you don't mind me asking? It's so unfortunate that your identity and existence are not accepted in your own land. I'm glad this show was the catalyst that showed you a different side of what's possible. Yeah you're right. I like these silly guys a lot. I totally forgot his mom gave him that silk as well. Sad sad. Mary mary. Legend I know how theorizing can be so addicting, and then consuming the actual story we've been anticipating falls short. That shit hurts smh 💛

This is some iconic internet lore right here. Love it

Fun fact, Evelyn's leopard is the same leopard in the WAP music video https://x.com/sambaschutte/status/1509244978278514688?lang=en

I just want to give you some context as to why so many people (including me hehe) were so hopeful you'd react to this show 🥹 It aired in march of 2022 and the second season was released in october of 2023. during that time a MASSIVE community around this show was created. it was one of the very few shows (at least at the time) to feature an older queer couple, without "if"s or "but"s or "creators confirmed their relationship after the show was over". no!!!!! it's a story about one queer person falling in love with another and specifically stating it. it struck me even more hard when i think about how rare it is nowadays, still, to meet an older queer couple because of aids. it's tragic, and seeing these two kiss felt like something in the air was healing. many, and i mean [a lot] of people discovered their own queerness thanks to this show. shit, i immigrated from my home country where it's gradually becoming illegal just to exist as a queer person, because i was drawing animatics based on this show and suddenly realised - if someone were to "snitch" on me - it would have actual fucking consequences???? that's literally what made my brain to "switch" and take immigration seriously. this show literally changed lives just because the lunatic (affectionate) david jenkins (btw he played the officer who's rowing in the end of episode 1) said "let's make them kith". i fucking love this show, it was the first time i dived into a fully and proudly queer community and became brave enough to question things about myself. i watched a lot of stuff since then - but this show feels like home, like a discovery, forever is and forever will. mkay, onto your actual reaction 😌🤌 i loooooved seeing you gradually accepting the rules of this extremely silly world 😂 your face at times had me absolutely wheezing. it's so clear you got attached to these silly guys by the end, it was just so precious to look at 🥹 the fucking silk man UGH. i was SO MAD about it, i drew a (possibly my best) animatic about it just because how much it stung me. it's the physical embodiment of his hope to fit in. it's the trace of his mother 😭 also, whatever happens, i will never forgive izzy for what he did to Ed idgaf. Ed found a way for himself to heal. he was healing!! only for this angry chihuahua to come and drag him back into the pit of despair with himself just because he doesn't have a purpose outside of "serving blackbeard". i guess you could apply the "you hate a character when they remind you of yourself" to izzy. i used to feel incredibly attacked by the change of dynamics with people dear to me, i felt like my whole world would crumble if things were to change. izzy feels like a state i want to never ever come back to and that's why it hurts to see. Mary is the GOAT. starting a therapy session after an attempted murder is what we call a healthy marriage 😋😇 I love her, I loved Stede's interaction with his daughter. the way he didn't fit in their lives anymore, but he's still loved. it's something he always wanted, to be loved despite fitting in or not, isn't it slightly ironic? no spoilers, just saying that i personally acknowledge season two's existence, but after being filled with endless love to s1 and drawing and fantasising !!!every day!!! for more than a year about how it might continue - I'm afraid, season two could never possibly satisfy the already build up expectations, that was inevitable 😔 I'm still sad about it, so I'm trying to hold in my excitement for s3 of "squid game" to not end up disappointed. that's a hard lesson I learned haha. That is to say, i hope you'll love it!!! I do feel like watching it without prior long theorising would be an entirely different experience 🥹 Thank you for the hard work and much love 💚💚💚

YESYES! As an elder millennial queer I'm conditioned to expect subtext not text and that kiss was such a beautiful surprise

melskmelsk

Everybody was surprised when they actually went the romance route with Stede and Blackbeard, love the finale and won't say anything about S2 other than I love it too but not everyone does.

i haven’t watched season 2 so i’m soo excited for next time but i know it’s gonna hurt so much 😭

lula

fun fact! stede’s home was filmed in the same house that was used as the mailroom in the good place :) in case that stained glass door looked familiar

Anait

there were a lot of “oh my god, this is happening” moments throughout their interactions, but i was still taken aback (in a good way) when ed and stede kissed. really enjoyed rewatching s1 with you, see you for season 2~

Beezy Queen

The look on Stedes face when the crew finishes the “talk it through as a crew” adage is so sweet :’) he’s so happy and proud lol. Love hearing ur thoughts about the relationships and messages in the story. Mary’s whole arc is so interesting and I love that conversation they have so much. Hope ur feeling better! Stoked for S2! Has one of my fav eps of tv ever in it. Won’t say which of course.
