It was the shocker of the century! This week, prior to recording our first episode, we got the news that the wildly popular, hugely successful, and critically acclaimed Our Flag Means Death was allegedly canceled by Max. Of course, we believe in the power of turning poison into positivity, so we're going to keep on believing that Season 3 is happening (Because it will! We will make it happen!). We're also continuing with our podcast plans! This week, hosts Carly Heath (Yayvid_Jenkins on AO3), Carly Delso-Saavedra, Lacey Bond, and Katie (LoopyDangerFrog on AO3) talk about everyone's favorite grumpy First Mate—Israel "Izzy" Hands, played by the iconic Con O'Neill. We discuss why we love him, how we'd like to see him depicted in fics, and what we'd like to see done with him in season 3 (may all our delulu come trululu). Here's the list of fics we talked about in this episode: Wave Hello to the Void - eefaevie, mxmollusca, zacharyboschhttps://archiveofourown.org/works/51218191 The author Mottlemoth - https://archiveofourown.org/users/Mottlemoth/works?fandom_id=72534322 - they only have 3 OFMD fics and they're all great.
