Rip Klara you would’ve loved People Watching by Conan Gray

So when Jesus flips over the tables it’s “righteous anger” but when I do it it’s “taking monopoly too seriously” and “ruining family game night” ??

If Young Colin Robinson™️ never employs age-old annoying child technique of a wet willy (sticking a wet finger in someone’s ear, just so we’re clear here) on Dad Laszlo™️, then what’s even the point?

Hear me out

While we like to joke about Izzy being in the wrong genre, I would argue that there are in fact at least five distinct genre universes in the world of Our Flag Means Death, and all of them have different rules.

Stede Bonnet, and his crew when they’re around him, live in a Muppet movie. I didn’t come up with this analogy but it’s so accurate. Insane physical comedy and comedy-action where no one really gets hurt. Mild peril but you know everything is gonna work out. Terrible puns and sight gags, but room for sweet, genuine emotional moments too. The rules of time, space, probability and logic will bend for a good joke.

Izzy Hands is in a grimdark action/drama where if someone gets stabbed in the gut they will behave normally and fucking die. (Probably slowly and painfully, of sepsis.) Crucially I think Izzy also lives in a genre where you can only be subtextually queer, and violence (done for or with or to each other) is the only acceptable form of intimacy between men. This is why being forcibly dragged into Stede’s world, where everyone is busy having silly low-stakes misadventures and being gay and emotionally available all over the main text–and seeing his Subtextual Boyfriend go into this world and love it–sends him round the twist.

The British, Spanish and other imperialist militaries are in a Master and Commander-style naval adventure where they’re the heroes. This is why they all take it completely seriously when Stede (unintentionally) kills Badminton and takes hostages, even though we can see that he bumbled his way into it ass-backwards. This is also why Stede is so shocked to get actually for real stabbed aboard the Spanish ship. (“Did you mean to do that?”) He didn’t realize until that moment that he’d stepped into a different genre. The stabbing is one of the first Surprise Genre Switch moments we get and in retrospect it’s very important for setting up that in this world, the threat of getting hurt or killed is very real–which we need to understand to know that there are real stakes much later, when Stede almost gets executed by the British.

I think we as a fandom need to talk more about how Aziraphale and Crowley started as one character and were later split in two. That’s obviously not part of their canon now, but you can still see it there. Two sides of the same coin or perhaps a better analogy… shades of grey.

Do you ever fall in love with someone in your dream? It kinda makes me sound touch starved, and maybe I am, but I always find it kind of beautiful. In my dreams I’ve fallen in love with so many different kinds of people.

Hi hello I’m not much of an artist but I NEED this as Crowley please and thank you
