#ofmd s2e8

I'm alternating between crying that it ended and being happy that we got s2 and got what we did.

The beach scene, "I love you!" "I know, I know that" 🥹 BABE! Pete and Lucius marrying! Alex Sherman's ass! Fishing! Ed thinking Stede's dead. THE LOVELY LETTERS. We got sooo much and it's beautiful and lovely.

This post is a lovely letter to OFMD and how important and special this show is to me (us) still, even a year after it ended. Seeing these two older men find themselves and love after having rough lives is very special to me and gives me hope for the future.

But this lovely letter isn't just to the show but to all of you amazing, wonderful, passionate and caring and dedicated and talented artists, writers, fans and enjoyers of OFMD that helped carry the love of OFMD through two cancellations and to this special anniversary.

I adore all of yall and I'm glad you are still here ❤️

I'm going to tag a few people but this is to every fan of OFMD out there, it's been the best time sailing with you and I hope to keep going 🫡

Remember the new still?

The letter he’s reading is the first one we see Stede writing on episode 1.

But the letter we heard Stede reading left something out.

You can see the letter says:

“Dear Ed. The crew and I are safe and thriving. Still a bit unclear whether you intended (?) to leave them for dead? Or perhaps that was an oversight? As I’ve renounced my wealth, [we’ve] been forced to take up [temporary] residence on the [Republic of] Pirates…”
