David's been sharing some lovely memes/work from our crew again <3

Picture of a Tweet that was reblogged by David Jenkins:  LadyHawkeHeather 🧜‍♂️ 🏴‍☠️ 🖤 💕 @HeatherBayliss Oct 24#OurFlagMeansDeath #ofmd #OFMDfanart #ourflagmeansdeathfanart

Picture of Tweet, reblogged by David Jenkins:  Still gotta hang it but wanted to share the start of my motivational home office bulletin board. The
He also really got into responding to fans, and we ended up with some S3 and BTS commentary.

Image of Twitter Conversation:  @honeybeesboy: the simplistic, effortless queer intimacy is what makes ofmd so special to me. if i wanted dark and gritty queer narratives for the entirety of the show, i'd be watching something else lmao  @david_jenkins__  Yeah it wasn’t really designed that way. Some dark bits in S2 but we weren’t trying to make Euphoria. The tone is more Princess Bride

Image of Twitter Conversation:  Tweet 1: Dylan @Orphanednebula People definitely picked up on that and ran with it to some glorious places...  Tweet 2: @david_jenkins__ - It’s wild making something. You have no idea how the culture will receive it. We make guesses in the room but they’re often wrong  Tweet 3: Dylan @Orphanednebula - Much like I'm sure you believed in OFMD at all stages of the game, but couldn't have really predicted quite what would grow from it, nor how the changing state of the industry would impact that.   Tweet 4: @david_jenkins__ - Exactly. You just write your stupid little thing and try to have fun and not hurt anyone. The rest isn’t really up to you   Tweet 5: @david_jenkins__  *stupid as in it’s fucking awesome and I love it

Image of Twitter converstaion:  Tweet 1: @Skrifores -  And you nailed it   As a queer person who grew up in the “your life will be miserable and your friends will die and people will abuse you” times it beyond lovely to see joy and growth and comfort at centre stage instead of pain  Tweet 2 @david_jenkins__ - That was the consensus in the room. We were sick of seeing period shows where non-white, non-straight characters have only trauma based storylines

Image of Twitter conversation:  Tweet 1: @arcadia_tweets - I love that there is a way back to the light after the dark bits, while not pretending that everything in this world is pure happiness forever. Ed coming back from real darkness is very important to me.  Tweet 2: S1 is about Stede’s midlife crisis and S2 is about Ed’s. S3 would be about how challenging it is to keep a relationship together, even when you love each other. You don’t necessarily grow at the same time

== Surprise Rhys Darby ==

Rhys made a surprise comedy show visit in Toronto Ontario a few days back! Shocked, alarmed, and delighted fans who happened to be there!!


Also, while not related specifically to the last couple days, there were some absolutely lovely tweets from folks about Rhys and their interactions with him from cons that I thought would be nice to share!

Picture of a tweet: @WinglyCoded He's the second nicest person I've ever been a handler for at a con and #1 was over the top nice so he'll be hard to beat

There was also a new  'That Christmas' Interview that was posted:


== Samba Schutte ==

Samba was kind enough to share some adorable BTS with us on "how he was hired".


== Kristian Nairn ==

Kristian will be joining another con at the beginning of the year-- on Jan 18-19 2025 he'll be in Dublin Ireland at Mega Con Live!

== Fan Spotlight ==

= Cast Cards = 

Slowly catching up on Cast cards by the fabulous and kind @melvisik! First up today is Antoine Douaihy, one of our executive producers! Now-- I was getting confused on the different level producers so I figured I'd mention the difference here in case you were too!
Executive Producers: "The executive producer sits at the top of the production hierarchy as it is their job to source and secure financing for production. Without them, a film or show could never be made as they are the ones who kickstart the project."  - Toronto Film School

- Line Producer --

Another producer is up, Susan Parker! One of our Line Producers for the show!
"Line producers are at the heart of a production, hiring the crew, allocating the money and making sure the filming is done safely, creatively, on budget and on time. They are typically the most senior member of the production team, second only to the producers.
Working closely with heads of departments, they decide how the money gets spent, delivering the best possible product to the producer or series producer while offering the director and heads of department enough money to realise the vision." - ScreenSkills

-- Makeup Artists --

Last but not least for the night is Devan Weitzman, another of our fabulous make-up artists!

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies! Gosh it's been a wild ride this fall (and spring for those of you on the opposite site of the world). I truly hope yall are getting some rest and re-cooperation time. There's been so much going on. This Love Note is very short-- because I'm overwhelmed at the moment. Please just remember that It's OK not to be OK, ya? Sit with your feelings sometimes and give them some love, sad feelings are part of you too, and the more we recognize them and give them love too, the more we heal.
Take care Crew, this is a gentle reminder to be kind to yourself today <3
