Explaining The Importance Of The Flag Change In OFMD Episode 10

So, we all remember when Ed decided to change his flag from this (ep2):

To this (ep10):

right?

But because episode 10 was such a rollercoaster of emotions, I feel like we overlooked this key detail that has been sitting right in front of us the entire time. But I managed to figure it out today and it blew my mind to pieces.

So I decided to do a bit of a google research and apparently there is a certain code of meaning behind certain symbols on pirate flags.

-The skeleton is obviously an homage to the devil

-The drink in its right hand is hence supposed to signify a toast to the devil/evil/cruelty

-The spear in its left hand means war

But what about the bleading heart that Ed forced Frenchie to add?

Well, when I watched the episode for the first few times I always thought of the bleading heart as a metaphor for Ed’s pain which he wants the whole world to know about by showing it on his flag - but no.

Holy fuck no. It is SO much worse.

The bleading heart means that no quarter will be given.

Now “hold up, hold up”, I hear you say, “What does that mean?”

“To give quarter” was the moral code amongst pirates that when an encountered ship was willing to surrender a fight and their goods their lifes would be spared.

So you might have already guessed it, “no quarter given” means that even if the enemy surrenders their lifes won’t be spared.

Or to put it quite literally:

(The new) flag means death

Ed’s heart and mind have been broken so severly that as a result he went from being the man who told Stede that he couldn’t and wouldn’t kill again, to the man who promises anyone, no matter how innocent they may be a certain death if they get anywhere near him.

This man has been triggered so much by Stede’s crew that he literally dropped them of on an island to forget the pain of the love of his life leaving him yet still decided to keep Frenchie around to have someone who could create this new flag.

He willingly accepted the pain of having someone around who reminded him of Stede just to create a physical promise to himself and to Stede that Blackbeard is back - more cruel than ever - and that Edward Teach is now a relict of the past.

Gus and Hunter had a YouTube channel about human realm cryptides and obscure folklore

They talk about classic cryptide theories vs new ones.

Special guests include Luz, Masha, and Matt (he just wanted to be included).

They rate popular cryptide sighting videos on how real or fake they look.

Gus accidentally posted a video of Viney and Puddles one time, and Hunter accidentally showed a picture of Eberwolf one time.

When that happened they looked at each other for a solid five seconds before turning to the camera and saying "Sooo fake" and "0/10. Looks awful".

People send in questions and Hunter will immediately pick up a giant old tome and answer "So according to this text there are several tried and true methods to kill a vampire, but the most effective way is to cut off the head, cut out the heart, burn it and place a steak into the chest cavity where the heart was, then bury the body in a locked coffin." While Gus nods along the entire time and will occasionally add in a "yes, yes. Makes sense".

They host it weekly from Camila's basement and it becomes a hit

Sometimes you just are trying to live out your day and then your brain thinks:

What if in the opening titles of Season 3 Aziraphale and Crowley aren’t walking together anymore.

[ineffablelunatic]

I saw this on twitter but haven't seen it being shared here yet so:

During the moment Crowley shields Azi with his wing, a tiny star is created.

If you're into astronomy this may look familiar:

They created Alpha Centauri in this moment.

Their first display of love created the place that Crowley always wants to run away to with Aziraphale. He's taking Azi somewhere that's relevant to both of them because THEY MADE IT.
