I Don't Know How Many People Will Understand This Parallel, But What Buttons Is In OFMD Is What Tom Bombadil

I don't know how many people will understand this parallel, but what Buttons is in OFMD is what Tom Bombadil is in LotR.

I mean, two funny little guys who handle magic unlike their world? Who seem insignificant until shown bizarre power (transforming into bird/rejecting the One Ring)? Who are able to talk to the nature (Karl/Old Man Willow)? Who are in a relationship with some kind of water element (the f*cking Sea/Goldberry)? And who are also respected by the elders of their world (Auntie/Lord Elrond)? And who are just as big of an enigma to them as to us?

Honestly I don't know what conclusion to make of this, but it was fun to notice.

I cannot express in words how much I love the crew in Our Flag Means Death. I adore how much personality they all have even tough they are stuck in the "background character" group. I would honestly watch it if any of them would have their own spin-off. I mean, I like Ed and Stede just fine, but look at these babies!!!

Frenchie: Oh, don't get me started on Frenchie, I adore the man. He's the literal impersonation of 'looks like a cinammon roll, could kill you'. My man is a DnD bard who invented pyramid schemes *and* fanfictions. Plus he may be the genius of his age while still believing in witches and crystals.

Wee John: Roomies! Man, how much more I'd like to see of this beautiful Drag Queen. Long live Calypso! And how much I whish to know if he sews his own drag clothes.🤔

Black Pete: It's not healthy how much I'm invested in "Blackbeard's most trusted man". He thinks he needs to create cool stories to get the others to like him, but he's actually very soft and caring. I mean, have you seen the finger he gave to Lucius? He's an angel.

Lucius: If it weren't from Ori from the Hobbit movies, he'd be my favorite scribe of all times. My man is underpaid for all the realitionship drama he has to listen to and his bonus consisted of getting thrown off the ship (which is, like, rude). Also, he can pickpocket Spanish Jackie???? Hi, yes, I'd like to order a backstory, possibly 20 hours long, please.

Buttons: Oh gosh, the Sea Witch. I'm in need of much more explanation and screen time dear writers. And he straight up talks to animals and curses people? Aunty took one look at him and went: "Yapp, that's the Sea Witch". I wonder how Frenchie haven't declared him an evil witch yet.

Roach: My man is a maniac cook whose also the medic just in case. He's half crazy and I couldn't thank him more for it. He also let's Stede request orange cakes from him which is just very sweet overall. Bro also invented peanut butter (like we wouldn't notice it), then fed it to an allergic person, then blamed it on a curse.

the Swede: It's most certainly not fair how well written he is for him to be standing in the background. He has the voice of an angel, please! He might not be the smartest person in the room, but he fucks like a jackhammer, I mean he became hot. That's something.

Jim: Oh, sometimes I cannot comprehend how great Jim is. They're mute, then a mermaid, then neither, 'cause they're just Jim! They're exactly the kinda person to give up revenge for 'not feeling the vibe' anymore. They also would kill anyone who hurts their crewfamily without batting an eye.

Oluwande: Don't even get me started on this beautiful, lovely teddy bear. He's the best hearted, but still serious and trustful of all. He literally gets along with everyone and we need so much people like him. Today's message is to be more like Olu!

Thank you for listening to my Ted-talk, don't worry, the 'why I love Izzy' will be a separate post will be, I couldn't fit him here.

Plus stuff I want to mention that this isn't directed against the writers, I know there were more than one problems with the founding of the second season. Rather, this is a compliment for all the hard work for these *excellent* characters! xx

Let me introduce you to my version of the JWCT Bingo! As you may see there's a lot of movie and book references as well as cameos I'd love to see.

Thanks to my sibling's idea there's also a bonus point: I can cross out any of the squares if Ben - at any point - shouts out his full name. That is hilarious and I want it.

(Also, I'm a Dr. Wu apologist.)

Girls who like history be like:

"I could have fixed him"

And the guy is literally Joseph Stalin

For reference this is how he looked like young:

"That unfortunate who wrote this yearns for love behind measure, so that love would keep him from committing things he is too afraid to do. He was beaten for things he never would have done (if only he would have been loved). He is the child who was not loved and who was beaten for it because they could not endure that they did not love him. He desires love this way, so he wouldn't be hurt. [...]"

- Attila József, Hungarian poet.

This line begins the Hungarian Musical called 'Én, József Attila' [Me, Attila József]. It's a very strong beginning and it left its print on me. Attila was a tragic poet, suffering throughout his entire life, especially with mental health and he committed suicide at the age of 32. He made an enormous impact on the whole of Hungary.

The original detail:

"Az a szerencsétlen, aki ezeket irta, mérhetetlenül áhitozik szeretetre, hogy a szeretet vissza tartsa őt oly dolgok elkövetésétől, melyeket fél megtenni. Őt olyasmiért verték, amit soha nem tett volna. Ő az a gyermek, akit nem szerettek s akit ezen kívűl azért vertek, mert nem tudták elviselni azt, hogy nem szeretik. Igy kivánja ő a szeretetet azért, hogy ne bántsák."
