I haven't seen anyone else talk about these yet so forgive me if this is a repeat. But I found some of the ofmd costumes posted on Instagram and they're just so gorgeous I needed to yell about them!
This is the Instagram!
Just look at this pattern matching! This is the jacket from the party episode and I am absolutely obsessed. There's more information about it in the post!
And some detail shots of Blackbeard's coat from the same episode! This is like catnip to my brain.
Please go and give it tons of attention because as I'm making this post they only have a few hundred likes and I just need them to be seen. They also have a post on the all white coat here and it's just so beautiful!!
I JUST LOVE COSTUMES SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME

Look at you, hacker, a pathetic creature of meat and bone. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?
tumblr is the root of half the internets trends and memes
the curse of being on this website is knowing that shit like cottagecore and dark academia and the obsession with mushrooms and whatnot started on this godforsaken platform and not tiktok
the mushroom thing started with a fucking shitpost where it ends with "you cannot kill me in a way that matters" "im not fucking scared of you!"
"op what does this mean"
"decay is an extant form of life"
I KID YOU NOT
im glad you’re all talking about pirates of the caribbean, because i want it known
The plot might’ve gotten too complicated for most people to follow, but it was actually so fucking cool????
Because Davy Jones was a sailor, right? He fell in love with the sea.
Specifically, the sea goddess Calypso. And of course, that’s already romantic, a sailor in love with the sea…
But then it gets even better.
Because in order to be with her, he must become the ferryman of all who die at sea. And with this duty, he is then cursed, and cannot step foot on land…except, once every ten years, the only time when he can see his beloved sea goddess.
but because the sea is wily, mischievous, playful and wicked at heart, she fails to meet him.
and in his rage, he convinces all the pirate lords to bind her into human form. but he still loves her, and out of guilt, he carves out his own heart and stuffs it in a box full of love letters for her.
and then he goes on to abandon his duty, entrapped in his own bitterness, enslaving souls to himself and his ship…
and isn’t that the irony?
he felt abandoned and betrayed by the sea, and thus, he chose to abandon all the souls lost at sea, the people he had once sworn to protect and lead to the next life?
THAT SHIT IS SO SICK.
It’s so old world romantic.
i am adamant on this.
Pirates of the Caribbean wasn’t expected to be successful. Pirates were just not considered to be marketable anymore, they were like cowboys.
But this movie comes along, that puts the spirit of adventure into our hearts, and has this just…love, this real affection for an epic quest centered around sailing treacherous waters and the depths of the high seas.
Jack Sparrow, in love with the sea himself, Will Turner, the classic romantic after the damsel in distress, and Elizabeth Swann, defying that role and searching for an adventure of her own.
It’s like a love letter to the past, to the mysteries of the ocean, the dazzling fascination, the morbid attraction, the dizzying fear that all sailors knew every time they stepped foot on a ship.
it was an homage to some of the grand legends and stories we used to tell about the old world, a place that was fascinated with what could lie beyond vast swaths of perilous waters.
i know 2 and 3 were complicated, but…i actually have a fondness for the lore.
i wish they would remake it, and maybe make that amazing lore more clear and less muddied by convoluted inter-politics.
I think Davy Jones is suuuuch an interesting character, and his romance with Calypso was so thematic and fitting and so appropriate to the subject matter, and to the spirit of adventure, and it simply is not talked about enough.
