“Any pirate crew worth a damn has a flag.”

#OFMD #OurFlagMeansDeath
Image of a text post by user “sgrstk” that says: Instead of looking for red flags and green flags when you go on a date- try looking for black flags. You know, subtle pirate cues that let you know that person is down to steal a ship and avenge your death if something fucked up ever happens to you.”

Okay it’s been a HOT second since I’ve been on here. Studying is intense but I turned on our boys the other day for some relaxation.
Moving to a new place and I decorated a corner with some of my favorite piratey things!

Hope everyone is doing well! #crewforlife

TURTLE VS CRAB!!!

Loser gets his head cut off. Winner

GETS HIS FUCKING HEAD CUT OFF!
Two brass figurines are staged opposite each other on a wooden countertop. On the left is one shaped like a turtle. On the right is one shaped like a turtle. The turtle also has a brass sword balanced on his back. This is an homage to the beach scene from episode 1x08 of hit show Our Flag Means Death.

Eeeeyyyyyeeeee!

You can practically hear Nigel’s voice, can’t you?

In case you want to see how they did the prosthetic, check out this old post:

An image of actor Rory Kinear dressed as character Nigel Badminton from hit show Our Flag Means Death. He is dressed in military blues with gold trim and a white cravat. There is blood on the cravat that is coming from the faux sword going through his right eye. The post the user linked is about the vfx process for creating the injury. The post is from the Instagram of Vincent Van Dyke Effects, the studio responsible for the creation.

I do love they have to say “it does not authorize actual piracy.”

Good advice from Stede (probably).
Tumblr text post from user secondbeatsongs that says: Somehow instead of saying “as a treat”, I’ve started using the phrase “for morale” as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days. And so I will eat a small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale. I’m not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me.

And of course I read this as an OFMD thing 😂

#PirateBrainRot #CrewForLife
A tumblr post that says “if the kraken and sharks get good at the same time, we will have a beautiful toxic rivalry <3” Another user responded “I forgot hockey existed for a second so I was like… omg what is going ON in the underwater community???” A third user responded “current events at the bottom of the pacific.”

Leaving Auckland with a fun souvenir! Told Rosie we’d all go crazy for this if available online!

For now I feel extra cool at the airport!

Bill opening the show.

Also, full fuzz gone, and mustache making an appearance. Oddly charming, if unexpected!
Rhys Darby, dressed as his Short Poppies character Bill Napier, wears a brown-green jumpsuit and leans with one foot up on a stool. He has a large hat and brown folio in hand.

Decked out in my pirate gear (including my snake earrings that you can’t see) to see the show! This is going to be amazing, I can already tell!
A basic white girl does a peace sign with a snake ring and green ring. She is wearing a “Crew For Life” shirt and is thrilled that her random decision to watch “that silly” pirate show led her to this moment and all of her friends on this site!

This is my little doofus baby who can almost never be pictured without her belly up because she loves scratches so much.
She was a former show dog that was “discounted” because she wouldn’t hold poses. She wanted to be friends with the judges. She’s a much better lap dog anyway. Pure love ❤️ 🐶
An image of a tan and white corgi in a pink harness laying on her back in the grass. Her belly is up asking for scratches. The same corgi is laying on different grass, belly up of course. She has her pink harness on and is kicking her short legs a bit asking to be pet. A tan and white corgi lays on a sofa with a brown cover. The corgi has her front legs straight out in a stretch and is staring at the photographer inquisitively.

Ready with DJenks’ words of wisdom. Going to rock this chem test!

And then get absolutely sloshed to recover.

Why is having a crush so goddamn embarrassing?
Capture from Our Flag Means Death episode 1x05 where Edward Teach (aka Black (gap) Beard) played by Taika Waititi is dressed up in a fancy white silk shirt and purple vest. He is lovingly stroking the piece of red silk that his future lover and soulmate Stede folded lovingly and put into his pocket.

You know he would.
Prince Ricky Banes from Our Flag Means Death stands at a podium looking intensely at the audience. He is a twerpy middle aged white man wearing a blue British Navy officer coat, blue wool with white lapels and gold trim (god that would be so fucking hot in the Caribbean). He has a purple ribbon holding on a brown fake nose because his real one was removed by Spanish Jackie.

This whole scene. And the Redux. And every interaction they ever have.
A screenshot of the “You wear Fine Things Well” scene from episode 1x05 of hit show Our Flag Means Death. Two men are silhouetted in front of a full moon and dark ocean. Stede, on the left, is affixing a piece of red silk into the pocket of Ed’s fancy silk vest.

a photo i'd use as an album cover:

The ramp down to the opening of the Waikato glow worm caves.
I’m trying to think of how to describe this abstract pic. It’s weird for a reason. I guess “A spiral ramp in the shadows with intermittent yellow-orange lights glowing from the sides.” If you’re vision impaired and have a suggestion for this, please help me get better at it!

Just dropped my parents at the airport and won’t be seeing them for 9+ months.

Going to hide in a blanket fort the best way I can.
A tv sits on a brown wood desk with many trinkets about the base. On the TV is the beginning of episode 1 of Our Flag Means Death.
