Yay!! This is mine that I got in Auckland from Dean Sacred, the artist who designed Ed's skull and snake back tattoo 😍

Rhys show review: 5 bajillion stars

There's no other comedian like him. He's a one-man sketch comedy show. His stand up isnt a series of punchlines strung together; the humor is carried through full-ass stories with characters, voices, sound effects, and physicality. What a delightfully twisted man
A button (or badge, as Steve Wrigley would insist on calling it) with Rhys standing against a blueish-purple background. He has his hands on his hips and is wearing his black R/D shirt and jeans. The text reads, "In 2025 I was in Portland and I saw Rhys Darby"

Family stuff is hitting really hard right now. I really wanted to see crew in Portland this weekend for Rhys' show but that's looking less possible. Been feeling this a lot lately, just that there's more bad than good. Holding on to OFMD community as one of the things that's good ❤️‍🩹 #crewforlife
Screenshot from season 1 episode 1 of OFMD. Olu grabs Stede by his lapels and says, "I said 'Do you want to live?!'" Stede has a distressed look on his face and responds "I think so! Probably!"

oh my new sticker from @tahernandez.bsky.social arrived at the perfect time
a sticker that says "We did win, David" in the pink OFMD font against a black background, with the white symbols from Stede's flag surrounding it (dagger, heart, and bone). The sticker is being held by a white hand and in the background is a sticker book with fanart of Stede that says "Be Gay, Do Crime" on a gray table

I don't know how subtle it is, but I guess it's not obviously a reference if you don't know the show! it's the mirror and the lantern used to make the lighthouse in the 1x04 fuckery

other options I considered were the crew flags from 1x01 or one of the decorative flags from Calypso's birthday

Yes it would be special to have the actual ring from Ed's costume. But what's even more special to me is the time I met up with @3taikas.bsky.social in Wellington to see Bret McKenzie and she said she had a surprise gift for me from the local Lovisa. Because this one is memories and community ❤️

my #OFMD shrine is coming along nicely
a picture of a shelf - laid on it is Samba's blue and orange bandana that says "Tender as Hell" with a hibiscus flower. On top is all sorts of pirate paraphernalia, including a sluts flag, fanart of the whole crew, a mini version of Stede's bookshelf and the lighthouse painting, a cross-stitch of Stede as Pinocchio, an AO3 cross-stitch, letters in bottles, half a pyramid certificate, a journal with Stede on it that says "Be Gay Do Crime", mini sketchbooks, a mini treasure chest, tiny ducks with pirate hats or pirate eyepatches. It's just very gay pirate

My last big Aotearoa story was that Bret McKenzie was performing when I was in Wellington so @3taikas.bsky.social and we got to see him make up a song about her shitty ex and his tomato soupy kisses, and we each got a signed egg cup that has feet

During my trip to Aotearoa last month...I was Ricked!

Erroll generously offered to meet me for a cuppa when I reached out, and I ended up in a life-affirming conversation with him and his actor mate Andrew for 2.5 hours at Ponsonby Central. Yes he's as fucking awesome as he seems

Another #OFMD reunion: John Bartholemew and Auntie!

In September, Maaka is going to be performing in a show with the NZ opera directed by Anapela!

Working my way through my Aotearoa stories, and one of the experiences that made the trip so incredibly special was getting to meet Maaka Pohatu: THE SOUL REAPER aka John Bartholemew! He suggested we meet at Swashbucklers in Auckland, the pirate restaurant where the #OFMD S2 wrap party took place! 🏴‍☠️

The word "Swashbucklers" is I'm against the background of a nautical map and there are two fish drawings above the word.

She signed my DVD and my flag and I got to tell her how much I love her and the show. "Our Flag Means Death for life," she said, and gave me another huge hug. It was worth everything to fly to Auckland that day for that moment.

"we're pirates" is going to be in my heart forever 😭❤️🏴‍☠️

okay this is for you @indarltonitrust.bsky.social and @kellykat53.bsky.social 😂 (I feel like enough happens in this fandom that there could be one of these every month!)
Ant-Man meme where Nyarie (as Ant-Man) asks: "What have I missed over the last 3 weeks?" Luis responds: "Ok so we raised CAD$9,063.08 for Rainbow Railroad in the Adopt Our Crew raffle. Like two more articles were published about OFMD being one of Max's best shows and cancelled too soon. Oh yeah and Max rebranded back to HBO Max lol. Lmao, even. We're still feasting on the chaos of TNUC. Dad temporarily changed his profile picture to him as a catboy from the con." Luis continues: "The top 3 execs at Ketchup open the Kudoboard to save OFMD so tiny clowning. On 4th of July Aaron Epstein from S1 posts a pic of the OFMD flag as "still there" so more tiny honks. The You Only Frame Twice animatic is released and it's amazing. An anonymous source shares a draft of Ed and Stede's first time from Calypso's birthday. We all lose our entire shit. Debates and discourse ensue over whether it's real." Luis continues: "Bruce Springsteen probably wonders why 'I'm on Fire' is suddenly blowing up. Dad confirms that it's real (and talks about bulging parentheticals). We all lose our entire shit TWICE. OFMD hits 38,000 fanworks on AO3. And that's been the last 3 weeks." Ant-Man/Nyarie stares back at him.

I made this one early in the renewal campaign days 😆
Multi-panel Ant-Man meme. Ant Man says: "So OFMD got cancelled?" Luis says, "Yeah, but we weren't ready to let it go. So we started harassing Max in their social media posts and called them on the phone. Casey Bloys said the numbers weren't there even though they totally were. Then he called on Gay Twitter to support The Gilded Age and Gay Twitter was like hell nah. We accused Zaslav of insider trading." Luis continues: "We raised $20k to put a billboard in Times Square. And to fly a plane over Max's headquarters. OFMD got nominated for a GLAAD award and Max said jack shit about it. All this time we're getting the petition up to like 85k signatures. Dad came on Instagram and pitched the show to other streamers. So since then we've been contacting Netflix, Amazon, and Apple TV." Luis continues: "Astroglide joined the crew and we did a watch-along with them and #LubeAsACrew was trending. We did that twice. Then Max said they were worried about violence in season 2, Dad called bullshit. We started getting a lot of major press coverage for our campaign. Dad posts a picture of a street in NYC and we all freak out. Some drama goes down with Renew As a Crew, idk." Luis continues: "We do a bunch of watchalongs of related shows and movies. Season 2 airs in the UK and we get Wee John Wondays again. Rhys joins Cameo and makes heartwarming videos that make us cry. Dad's been really quiet so we hope he's in negotiations. And that's been the first 30 days in the gravy basket." Ant-Man stares at Luis.

this picture makes me think of one of my favorite Stede descriptions from a fic

(the fic is "you and i collide" by doorwaytoparadise)
archiveofourown.org/works/41123373
The text reads: "Stede is a very handsome man, there’s no doubt about that, but sometimes Ed gets distracted by his own attraction to him and forgets that Stede is kind of just generally breathtaking. There’s a sort of romantic allure to him, only emphasized by the way he acts and dresses, that feels like he’s not quite real. Like a marble statue come to life, or a figure that’s stepped out of a painting."
