Happy last week of April, crew! Let’s catch you up on some of the stuff that happened in the Our Flag Means Death fandom this week.

We had another crumb thrown to us by Vico! Check it out under the accordion.

OFMD Twitter was in a tizzy about The Wall…

I've never seen the fucking wall 😂
In dozens of rewatch I was always focused on their faces 🤣 https://t.co/G2iU71Bu5o

One of the actors from episode 5 discovered OFMD Twitter!

I have literally one line in S1 @OurFlagHBOMax but it was fun to be around @TaikaWaititi @rhysiedarby Joel Fry & @SamsonKayo and on one of the ships. It was my goodbye to LA. WIG! #OFMD pic.twitter.com/eXh3xqVUKf

The Rizzy Discord server sent Samba a fan-made version of Roach’s diploma, based off a Cameo video that Samba did for them about Roach’s backstory (diploma story starts about 3:15 into the video).

Okay Rizzy Server, this is hilarious after what I did to you on my cameo. Thank you😂🖤🏴‍☠️ pic.twitter.com/Y5YWtVEn9B

April 29

Kristian did a personal interview with the BBC which was very moving, but might be triggering to some.

Some other things that happened this week:

• April 25: For those in California, we discovered an OFMD-themed drag show airing in June!
• April 26: Taika did an interview, which was mainly about his other projects, but did mention OFMD in passing – plus there was a very nice photo shoot by Vinesh Kumaran (here and here).
• April 26: Collider listed OFMD as one of the best comedy shows on HBO Max.
• April 27: (HBO) Max released a video celebrating AAPI Heritage Month, and featured Ed for a microsecond at the end!
• April 29: Indiwire featured OFMD as one of the best LGBTQ series on HBO Max.

That’s it! Here’s to a lovely May. (Creators, don’t forget about OFMD Mermay!)
