If you haven’t watched Our Flag Means Death yet, then you need to watch the first season immediately. It follows a privileged aristocrat who abandons his wife and children to become a pirate in the 18^th century. If you’re all caught up, here are some of the most hilarious tweets about the best show on HBO right now:

Representation Matters

I love telling people that the only straight representation in ofmd are two seagulls

The Improv Acting Is Genius

Sorry i just found out that all of the actors in OFMD had to improv their characters' backstories in their auditions and I am simply on the fucking floor imagining Vico Ortiz pitching "they were raised by a knife wielding nun"

Be Gay, Do Crimes

Our Flag Means Death is very loosely based on actual history but more importantly, is an entire TV show adapted from "be gay, do crimes"

The Most Breathtaking Fanart

if our flag means death has taught me anything its that if you give queer people good representation they’ll start making renaissance-painting level fanart like they need it to breathe air

Couple Of The Year

someday years from now we’ll be able to go on youtube and watch videos titled “Ed & Stede, all kisses seasons 1-3” or “best moments from all the seasons of ofmd” and we’ll forget all about this in-between stage of waiting for it to be renewed that we’re currently in 🙏 🕯

You Lucky Ducks

it just hit me that some of yall out here are 15-16 enjoying ofmd or heartstopper and not everyone went through their mid teens being emotionally destroyed by sherlock

Stars Are Everywhere

I almost never care about guest stars, so how does Our Flag Means Death keep deploying them in a way that fills me with delight every time?

The Way It Should Be

yeah there’s good queer representation on ofmd but everytime there’s a person being racist they are punished or kiIIed and i think that’s beautiful

Seriously!

why can’t billionaires do something useful like bringing back our flag means death season two

Renew It Already

It’s Not That Complicated

Our Flag Means Death and Abbot Elementary understand the fundamental thing that tv shows have been missing: we just want to see characters we like having a pretty good time

More Queer Characters Please

The absolute crazy success of Heartstopper and Our Flag Means Death should finally show the world that we're here, we're queer, and we are so damn tired of your queerbaiting and gays being buried ffs I promise you will still make a lot of money if two dudes hold hands

Season Two Ideas

“anne bonny should be blackbeard’s ex on season 2 of our flag means death!” you fools. you cretins. she should be spanish jackie’s ex
