Alma knows her dad is cringe, but when he goes to a live broadcast of their favorite tv game show… things get a little out of hand.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I panicked and googled and found this on YT as well, www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIcH...

I think a studio version of this might kill me (in the best way).

Also, found some opinions I still stand by:

Phantom of the Opera is overrated.

Being the oldest child is harder than being the youngest.

My wrist hurts after writing for too long and that is bullshit.

(I did not use the word “bullshit” in my diary because I was a very good kid)

Liv @the-widow-olivia.bsky.social · 2d

Ok, everyone is doing the “things I was into at 11/12 game” but I went and found my diary from that age and looked up FACTS!

I forgot that I spent like half a year watching Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet every day after school. 🤣🤣🤣

Sometimes smooching is cute, sometimes it’s desperate — sometimes it’s both (IMO this is both!)

We were all just sleeper agents and the activation code was the phrase “you wear fine things well” (some of us just had to hear it twice for it to work right)

I hadn’t sought out new fanworks since high school.

By Nov I was reading Fanlore articles to catch myself up on all the tags I didn’t understand.

By Jan I was drafting my first fic.

OFMD did something to my brain. 🤣

I don’t remember when in Oct 2023 I watched season 2, but happy almost anniversary to me thinking “hmm, I wonder if there is any fanfic for this show?” and opening a new browser tab while the gods of AO3 look on like the goblins in Labyrinth.

#OFMDFanfic

The Muppet goblins of Labyrinth all squeezed together. One says “Did she say it?”

All of them: SHIT UP!

A digital drawing of Stede Bonnet from Our Flag Means Death in a late 60s or early 70s version of the cursed red suit. He’s smoking a cigarette and looking dapper. There’s a blurry multicolor background.

Stede is getting his first tattoo. If Ed is able to rifle through Stede's entire briefcase of ideas and pro/con lists and flow charts and excel spreadsheets, and figure out what he actually wants.

Not a prop, but the correct pattern.

Liv @the-widow-olivia.bsky.social · 4d

She’s here.

Thanks, @jilliansauers.bsky.social for sharing your windfall, and for sending a cute lil teabag along with the cup and saucer! 🫖🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬

Off to the grocery store cause we clearly need more sugar.

The exact pattern of teacup used in OFMD S1, complete with lil butt-shaped peach. It’s sitting on a matching saucer (the show did not use a matching saucer, but who cares!) and both are resting on the replica breakup robe.

He can’t slow down, his car was designed for optimal performance at 90 mph.

And also if he slows down the feelings will catch up to him.

Liv @the-widow-olivia.bsky.social · 4d

I really like that as a fandom we have decided that Stede Bonnet is a maniac driver. I love this for us.
