First try of the leg 🦵 I take my hat off to @oneill.con for his incredible acting on this show - this leg was not the easiest prop to manoeuvre and he just did so incredibly well. Creds to Nick Weir our most excellent props master & Jake Walls for the prop making collab, our whole team on this was so fab 🏴☠️ #ourflagmeansdeath #ofmd

like i get that people are all he's sexy here
but all i can see is how much of a fucking struggle this is
like. do you have to have someone suffer this much just for 'authenticity' or whatever
like this is a real person we're seeing struggling. not just someone acting
i know con talks with positive feelings mostly about doing all this for izzy in season 2
but like what else are you gonna say as an actor who wants to be cast in future roles
i'm reminded of roger allam and philip quast both having the exact same knee injury; even now decades later
just because both of them played javert for a long time and acting out his suicide damaged both their knees in exactly the same way
like sorry but to me stuff like this is fucked up
and it shouldn't be seen as 'cool' or 'good acting' to put actors through this
and yes some of them want to do this but there's also a whole culture that celebrates stuff like this
anyway rant over
cw! ableism
tbh
