hey mom i made it on the news in the most ridiculous way possible
continue spamming max's social media, don't forget to hashtag and tag other streaming services!!
Message Max feedback team if you have an account, [email protected] is you do not. Be respectful! I know people are heated rn, but aggression will only hurt our chances.
The emails passing around that go to higher-ups have been error returned to me, but this ONE below.
They said they were out of town to mid-January but appreciated my feedback and was reading many others sent to them. They expressed they would send the information up for reconsideration with a more detailed response once they returned and knew more but that they were listening and keep an eye on their official page for any updates.
It's something, at least. Getting personal messages back at all means they are reading them.

in the discourse landscape of gay shipping I think a crucial element is the underdog effect. official approval of your ship from showrunners (ie ship going canon) compromises your marginal status as a fandom shipper on tumblr, and in the long run produces a sore winner subjectivity where you must constantly insist that your ship is still good and subversive. destiel is a good edge case as it went canon in the most homophobic way possible, thus maintaining something of an underdog status despite it being explicitly addressed in the text of supernatural, while still ultimately losing its fandom dominance as evidenced by it constantly losing in shipping polls. ofmd shippers in this respect occupy a conflict of class interests in which their gay canonicity confers a level of comfort and stability that gay shippers who have to work in the posting mines doing web weaves will never experience. therefore, we can consider ofmd shippers to be the petit bourgeoisie of the fandom ecosystem, caught between the big bourgeoisie (tv writers) and the proletariat (stuckys), predictably choosing to engage in downwards class conflict to maintain their narrowly privileged status

an interesting thing about s1 of ofmd is how mutiny is a major plot point in the pilot and then doesn't really come up again until episodes 9 & 10 (notably these are 3 of the 4 episodes written by david jenkins, with ep 9 being co-written with yvonne zima)
the pilot takes pains to establish a couple things about piracy and the world we're in:
1. being killed in a mutiny is a real and constant danger for pirate captains
2. one commonly known reason crew members have been known to mutiny is if they perceive their captain as weak and they think that's a problem
3. the expected way for a pirate captain to respond to this is via disproportionate violence against one of the people threatening mutiny
this is probably supposed to inform how we react to some of the things that happen at the end of the season.
what i am saying here is the show wants you to know from the start that
- within the context of a culture of piracy in which the above three points are widely understood, for a member of a pirate crew to go to his captain, accuse him of acting weak, and then tell him to "watch [your] fucking step" is going to be understood unambiguously by both people in that interaction as a clear threat of mutiny
- furthermore it will be understood by both of them as a deliberate challenge for the captain to prove that he isn't soft by responding to this in the expected way

Content Label: Mature: Sexual Themes
Extremely controversial opinion alert: I think Ed and Stede have the most exceedingly vanilla sex where they switch who tops and bottoms and where the only kink is an aggressively adorable praise kink that frequently makes them both cry.
However.
This only applies when they are having sex as Ed and Stede.
But these are two exceedingly cringefail theatre nerds we're talking about, and the second they start roleplaying as different characters in bed, there are no holds barred when it comes to kink.
Its not even a matter of "who is the dom today and who is the sub?"
The question, as they pull out their journals full of elaborate character notes, is
"Are we playing Thomas Quinton and Chester Swatch today? Or are we playing Geoffrey Cashe and Robin Wood? I'm in the mood to bust out the ropes, which currently only works in those two stories, though I'd happily return to The Dread Pirate Davies and Jeffery Stapleton soon if you're in the mood for some character work later."
(Id: #reblogged for truth #their biggest kink is the cringefail roleplay itself #they're periodically safewording out of the scene to critique each other's acting choices /end ID)

YOU GET IT!! Except they have different sorts of "safe words". There is, of course, the classic safeword. The "i need to stop and we need to check in on me" safeword. This is a distinct word from the others because its important to have a word that just means "stop, I need to get straight into aftercare."
However, they have other words they use too to stop a scene.
Then theres the "he wouldnt fucking say that" word. The acting choice critique, the character work critique. Notably its often self critique. Stede will use this word and go "do you mind if I try that again? I feel like I wasnt channeling Robin Wood with that line"
And Ed nods and goes
"Yeah i noticed it feel a little off, lets try it again. Should we start from your last line, or go all the way back to my entrance?"
The third kind of safe word in the PLOT safeword. This means "there is a plot hole" or "i have a new idea and we need to pause so i can add it to the notes" or "this uncovered my characters tragic backstory and we need to pause to unpack it."
Essentially, safe, communicative, cringefail sex.
#im carrying this to the illogical conclusion#that there are episodes of these sexual series which are in fact not sexual in any way#but rather necessary for the plot#it starts out with stede offering brief recaps of the last ahem installment#then recapping and filling in some narrative gaps to contextualize where they're picking up#which spirals into stede needing to /see/ the way x plot-significant interaction would take place if he has ANY hope of calling back to it#with any degree of emotional impact (something he very much hopes to do-- 'it's the drive behind the passion!')#but this is not a unilateral progression#when ed looks distracted over breakfast it's because he's planning#through a series of accidents lucius is up to date on at least 3 story lines at any given time#sorry lucius (tags via @co-captens )
No, that is the exact logical conclusion to this post. And you are so right. Like they're sitting around the table in the dining hall for breakfast, Ed has a thousand yard stare and is mindlessly poking at his eggs.
Stede puts a gentle hand on his shoulder.
"All right, dearest?"
Ed blinks, turns to Stede and nods, then asks thoughtfully
"Do you think Thomas Quinton's brother would have taught him how to tie a knot?"
Stede pauses to think.
"It depends which brother. Is this the brother who was tragically murdered by Swatch's crew, or the one who joined Swatch's enemy, betraying both Swatch and the Quinton family?"
"The one who was tragically murdered."
"Mmm, makes sense. In that case, yes, I do think he would have done that."
"Me too. We should add that in to our next scene, get a little character work in when Quinton is tying up Swatch."
Pete leans in, because everyone is at the table listening.
"Who are-?"
Lucius puts up a hand.
"I'm begging you not to ask them that, babe. I know too much as it is."
