Re-upping this thread on extensive anti-confederate resistance in the South since I'm again seeing "the South" again used as a blanket term for the horrific antebellum oligarchic social order that no shortage of people in the actual region hated and fought.

Like the fash who later took inspiration from them, the slaver regime never had the widespread support it pretended. Antebellum Southern governments were heavily oligarchic, with real power in a narrow slaver elite. Even in areas without as many plantations, like Appalachia, they held a lock...

I love the kisses in OFMD. But I remembered David Jenkins talking about the You wear fine things well scene, and "and that's a kiss" stuck in my head and needed to get out. It's a bit wonky and a bit wrinkled but here are a few that's a kisses

An embroidered collection of tiny "that's a kiss"s from Our Flag Means Death around embroidered I love you. I love you. I know I know that. With some twine (I panicked).

In all likelihood that was a coincidence born from reusing filming locations, as DJenks mentioned how great it was to be able to do that, but there's something about the idea of Stede's love, his hope, already connecting with Ed in his darkest place, giving him something to fight for, like... 😭
