Bluesky post by @ GheyAndWoke.bsky.social‬: “(Megaphone emoji) Hi crew! I know I said I'd close this board on May 1, but since the Paramount/Skydance merger is delayed, I'm going to leave it open for now! I'd like to send it when the merger closes, but I might revise that if it's further delayed so we don't wait too long. Stay tuned, and keep posting! (Pirate Flag emoji)”. Below is a quoted post from the same account, which reads, “I'd love your attention for a minute, crew! I've created a Kudoboard to send to Paramount/Skydance asking them to save OFMD. I want to collect as many messages as possible on it before sending it to them on May 1.” The quoted post includes a link to the Paramount KudoBoard, with a link preview featuring a photo of the Revenge sailing at sunset, next to a blue box with the text, “Congratulations on your matelotage! Please save Our Flag Means Death.”

Another Bluesky post from @ GheyAndWoke.bsky.social: “Two Kudoboards?? That's overkill!! That's right crew, I've made another Kudoboard to send to Ketchup Entertainment. Please sign this one too! I will send it to Ketchup on June 5, which is National Ketchup Day! (Tomato emoji) Read on for more.” Below is a link to the Ketchup KudoBoard, with a link preview featuring a photo of Stede's and Blackbeard's combined crew spread out on the deck and talking, next to a red box with the text “Looking for a premium series? Please save Our Flag Means Death!”

Just realized that I forgot to repost the #OFMDMerch thread from my old account.

I'll start with the unofficial merch I'd gathered before I took these photos for some #saveOFMD challenge.

Let me know if you want info about anything in particular.

@ofmd @ofmdfanart
#OurFlagMeansDeath #OFMD #hamykia

A miscellany of items made by fans of Our Flag Means Death. There are two t-shirts, a calendar, an artbook, a mug, a few doujinshi, a deck of inspirational cards, a notepad, a glasses cleaning cloth based on the piece of red fabric, and two rectangular objects wrapped in OFMD-themed wrapping paper.

Similar photo from a different angle. Some objects have been rearranged as well. For instance, now a glasses cleaning cloth inspired by the depression robe can be seen, there are a couple of bookmarks, and the wrapped rectangular objects turned out to be a couple of notebooks that look like old Romance novels. There's also the painting my friend made, which I'll talk about in the next toot.

💌 Love Notes

Hey Lovelies! I hope you had such wonderful experiences in reminiscing about our show on the anniversary! I have said it before, and I'll say it again, this show changed my life. It changed so many lives, and helped so many people feel comfortable in their own skin. It has truly been a gift to humanity and continues to give us love and hope every day.

I am so very grateful that this show got the two seasons it did, because I ended up getting to meet all of you because of it. We are such an amazing crew, and we have accomplished so much in the art world, as well as the fundraiser world. You all are shining examples of what humanity can be when love and kindness wins. Remember that when these hard days come along and all feels overwhelming. You are the light in the dark times. You make REAL change.

Special thanks to every member of this fandom for all you do every day, as well as the fan crews out there that are still active like @AdoptOurCrew, or no longer active like #RenewAsACrew / #SaveOFMD / #OFMDFanCrew for all the engagement and love you've spread over the last few years. We appreciate all your leadership and support <3

Love you crew, Happy Anniversary to our little Gay Pirate Show.

Oh, and Ruibo Qian, our pirate queen posted these two Love Notes that day so I wanted to share them <3

#OFMDLoveNotes #Crew4Life #CrewForLife #OurFlagTurns3 #LongLiveOFMD #RuiboQian

A silver ring on Ruibo's pinky finger. It has a flat, round top with the words 'Everything will be OK' written on it. 'OK' is at the center with the rest written in a circle around it.

Instagram Story posted by Ruibo (@ TheKingPrincess), sharing a post from @ navucko, which features white text written on a green background: 'The more you believe life is a miracle, the more miracles you will experience, create, and witness. - Ayesha Ophelia.' Ruibo has also added the track 'Ancient Source' by Calderda featuring Dianne Reeves.

🏴‍☠️ OFMD Cancellation Anniversary

January 9th was the 1 year anniversary of our first cancellation of Season 3. So many of you folks shared some wonderful feelings and memories you had that day and since that day. It was an anniversary full of melancholy, but it was also lovely to see how much people got out of the fandom since then.

Our friends over at @AdoptOurCrew also sent out some prompts on Bluesky to help us reflect about OFMD an what it means to us! Did you get a chance to share your thoughts?

Bluesky post by Adopt Our Crew (‪@ adoptourcrew.bsky.social‬): 'We were devastated last year when @ david-jenkins.bsky.social shared the cancellation news. But here we still are…building community, creating fanworks, and loving on our show. There are SO many reasons why we’d like someone to # AdoptOurCrew. Tell us why you think # OurFlagMeansDeath should be saved!' Attached to the post is a graphic that reads 'Share your love - Why should Our Flag Means Death be saved? # SaveOFMD # AdoptOurCrew'.

Bluesky post by Adopt Our Crew (‪@ adoptourcrew.bsky.social‬): 'If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that the # OFMD fandom is here to stay. It really is about belonging to something. Whether a virtual or in-person event, creating art, writing fic, yapping about the show, or boosting others - what’s something OFMD-related that you’re looking forward to?' Attached to the post is a graphic that reads 'Share your excitement - What's something OFMD-related you're looking forward to? # SaveOFMD # AdoptOurCrew'.

🌊 Letters To Sea For Season 3

The Letters to Sea for Season 3 campaign that was being spearheaded by the darling Molly, aka AProperPirate, is finally coming to fruition! Tomorrow is the day the letters should be arriving! Molly had a special message to share re the letter writing campaign!
(Source: https://bsky.app/profile/aproperpirate.bsky.social/post/3lfacrd5ccs2l)

Molly's Bluesky is only visible to people with an account, but @Hamykia has kindly crossposted Molly's graphics (including alt text) here! https://gaypirates.club/@Hamykia/113635636163025898

#OFMDRecaps #LettersToSeaForSeason3 #SaveOFMD #LongLiveOFMD #OurFlagMeansDeath

1st & 2nd posts in a Bluesky thread by molly (@ AProperPirate.bsky.social): 'Hi all! Now that we're past the mailing windows, I just want to thank everyone SO MUCH for participating in this campaign. I really wasn't sure what kind of buy-in I would get, but so many of you offered your creativity, deeply heartfelt words, and time. Thank you to everyone who wrote, shared posts, crossposted, and volunteered to print and mail for crew around the world. It's been a whole year since the Bad Day, but it's been a joy to be reminded of how special and impactful ofmd continues to be.' Molly quoted a post from herself with 4 images & the text 'Lets go Crew - Please join me in a letter writing campaign to try and convince Netflix to adopt # OurFlagMeansDeath! Our show's creators, cast, crew, and fans deserve a season 3! Details below!!' Attached to the quoted post are 4 graphics with info on the campaign. Alt text is too long for this post, so please refer to Hamykia's post.

3rd & 4th posts of Molly's Bluesky thread: I know it's still a long shot, but once I realized that joining another streamer was a possibility, I figured we should at least try. Maybe some random Netflix exec will be particularly moved. Maybe we'll just be a bit more visible, and folks will know we're still here. Anyway, the world sucks and there's a lot of fights that need our support and attention. More are coming. But we still deserve to have our stories and art and I believe they're worth fighting for too. Thanks again for being the best crew (pirate flag emoji, heart hands emoji).

5th post from the thread, with a collage containing many photos of letters written by OFMD fans. The post reads: 'Oh, and @ netflix.com, enjoy the reading material!! # OurFlagMeansDeath # LettersToSeaForSeason3.'

Bluesky post by Adopt Our Crew (‪@ adoptourcrew.bsky.social‬): 'We're feeling mixed emotions as January 9, 2024 looms large in our memories. Join us on Thursday as we come together to celebrate all things # OurFlagMeansDeath. # SaveOFMD # AdoptOurCrew.' Attached is a graphic with the text 'On January 9, 2024, we were blindsided by the surprise cancellation of Our Flag Means Death. One year later, the show has become the face of unjust cancellations and the fandom continues to grow. Join us on Thursday as we celebrate the show, the incredible cast and crew, and the special community that's formed around it. 1. Take action. 2. Share your love. 3. Show your pride.'

Seeing the exact same Discourse on the cursed bird site around the #SaveTheAcolyte billboard fundraiser as I did for the #SaveOFMD one (which was a LOT more money.)

I'm just not dealing with efforts that involve money anymore. You do you, give or don't as you please, and don't police OTHER PEOPLE'S wallets. That is all.

> showrunner plans a 3-season arc
> show gets cancelled after season 2
> still "one of the best LGBTQ+ shows with a happy ending" :_gayheart2:

Love that for us :ablobsunglasses:

I'm a bit disappointed. I was asked to make this design and spent many hours on this but have been ghosted for about six months now.
Today, I decided to finally release this into the void. My best guess is, that the cancellation of #OurFlagMeansDeath is somewhat complicit in why I was left hanging, despite several tries to get in touch.
So, enjoy this linocut and maybe you like it :)

Black and white linoprint of a sailing ship, the Revenge from Our Flag Means Death, held in the palm of a disembodied hand wearing a frilly cuff. The ship is flying Blackbeard's flag featuring a skeleton stabbing a heart, as well as the Revenge crew's flag with a cat surrounded by a dagger, a bone and a heart. A third flag holds the artist's signature.

🧵 4. Express your disapproval of the cancellation without being aggressive—show your love for the show, and make your story personal!
5. Feel free to bring up more of MAX's bad decisions: other cancellations (Rap Sh!t, Julia, Scavengers Reign, etc.), fumbling the NBA deal, and shelving completed films.
6. Try to call once a day! We want to flood them with calls. 🏴‍☠️

Tweet by @urcrazyfnafgirl saying "Just saw this on my laptop and thought I'd take a look. This show (#ScavengersReign) had 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and was labelled as one of the best TV shows of 2023, but it got cancelled after one season, but has now been picked up by Netflix. Bet you can't guess who axed it."

Tweet by @urcrazyfnafgirl saying "Yep. That's right. Max axed it. It originally aired on Max, and it got almost 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, yet it STILL got axed. But luckily it's now been picked up by Netflix. A 2nd season for it is unclear though. I'm just hoping that #OurFlagMeansDeath has the same outcome."
