Rhys sending selfies from his final few shows in Australia!

Selfie of Rhys Darby before one of his shows. He gives us a smoldering kind of look, smiling with his eyebrows slightly drawn together and his brow furrowed. Rhys wears a short, scruffy beard and his blond hair is styled with a swoopy upward curl at the front. Text at the top of the photo reads, “Two shows left!” A location tag at the bottom reads, “The Princess Theatre, Brisbane”, above the hashtag TheLegendReturns2025.

Instagram post from @ OzzyManReviews, shared to an Instagram Story. The post is a photo of Rhys Darby standing next to another man (the Ozzy Man in question) inside a pub. They both smile broadly at the camera, Rhys standing in a relaxed posture with his hands on his hips while the other man gives a thumbs up. Text above the shared post reads, “Pub chat video out soon with the legend that is @ RhysieDarby thanks heaps for not skipping Perth mate!” (With “mate” written as the letter m and the number 8.)

= Samba Schutte =

Samba's baking class is coming up soon on Saturday May 10th 10am! to benefit  @everymomcounts "We’ll reveal the never seen before audition process for Roach and YOU get the chance to audition for Roach with ME! Can’t wait! "You can still get tickets here!

Graphic with a photo of Samba Schutte as Roach, grinning as he stands on the deck of the ship. A green box with the following text has been placed in one corner of the photo: “Get your ticket for my baking class & you could be chosen to audition for Roach!” Above the text is the Momentus logo.

Part an episode script or draft, with the name “Roach” hand-written at the top. The script reads: “Ext. The Revenge deck – day. A knife darts in-between the fingers of a flattened hand, seemingly expertly. Cut to The Swede's face, concentrating, as he quickly moves the knife. Frenchie and Wee John Feeney observe. Roach: I call this game ‘stabby hands.’ He winces several times. Finally, he lifts his hand. It's bloody and cut up. Roach (continued): I'm pretty bad at it. Jim lies in a hammock with a hat over his face. Lucius sneaks past, eyes glued to Jim. He heads downstairs Into the galley. Int. Galley of the Revenge – moments later. Lucius comes to Jim's door. It's locked. He produces a specially bent fork and picks the lock. Int. Jim's cabin – moments later.”

Selfie of Samba Schutte holding up one hand to show a bandage wrapped around his little finger. His lips are pressed together and pulled to one side. “Actually bad at stabby hands ...” is written on the photo next to Samba.

As always, thanks to our friends over at @adoptourcrew who are keeping us up to speed on all the articles mentioning/related to OFMD!

Bluesky post from @ AdoptOurCrew.bsky.social: “‘Queer stories deserve more than a rushed conclusion; they deserve a full series run.’ Netflix's treatment of Heartstopper is the latest in a ‘long-standing industry trend of treating queer series as niche content.’ Sound familiar? # OFMD. Read more: (article link).” The post includes a screenshot of a section from the linked article: “Ultimately, true representation in media needs proper investment. Studios and streamers, especially in today's landscape, expect instant success for queer series and are less likely to allow slow growth as they do with more mainstream stories. For them, investing in a final movie is more often than not a much cheaper route as it eliminates long-term actor contracts, condenses production schedules, and is much easier to market. There's also the unfortunate side to the industry where some companies will greenlight queer content to simply ensure they meet inclusion quotas, but rarely sustain these shows long enough to allow stronger audience investment. We live in a world over-saturated with content and studios and streamers need to understand that overnight hits are rarities these days. They need to stop seeing LGBTQ+ stories as special projects and the pattern of early support to early cancelation needs to stop. This decades-long trend sends a message to those watching, which ultimately states that while LGBTQ+ stories are good, they're not important enough to finish properly. It reinforces that queer stories, complexities, and happy endings are too niche for mainstream TV – and that needs to change. Heartstopper's upcoming movie finale continues this pattern. While it is ultimately a cause for celebration, as Netflix puts it, it's also a quiet reminder that queer stories deserve more than a rushed conclusion; they deserve a full series run.”

== Love Notes ==

Hey lovelies! That's it for April, I know I have some to catch up on from earlier in the month and I'll try to get to them as time allows. You got this lovelies, I believe in you. Whatever you're struggling with right now. You got this. 

An illustration posted by KatieAbey on Instagram: A sparkly purple poop with big round eyes and a smile, drawn on a yellow background. Its eyes are a little crossed and one is half closed. Text in black capital letters reads, “The next time you're feeling disempowered and blue. Remember the sheer power that lies within you. You're expansive made of stardust and all things true, you're a wondrous, awe-inspiring galactic poo.” The last 2 words are written below the poop in extra big letters; the rest of the text is above it and a bit smaller.
