💌 Love Notes
Well hello there lovelies. I know this is for a May post but Happy Pride, everyone! I know I'm behind again, what's new? I hope everyone is staying safe, and being so very kind to themselves right now because as we all know the world is flooded with so much hate right now and so we've sometimes gotta be the ones to give ourselves the kindness we deserve.
To anyone struggling right now, with life, the state of the world, personal issues, whatever, please remember how very strong you are. I know it sucks to continuously be strong, and certainly doesn't feel like you are. But you are. You've made it through every hard day so far, and you are still here, and we are so grateful for that. You can absolutely keep making it through – don't just do it for us, do it for you ok? We love you crew.

💌 Questions / Love Notes
Hey there lovelies. I would love some feedback when you have time – I don't know if life will make it harder for me to do recaps for a while – so I would love it if I could chat with a few of you that read regularly about some ideas I have regarding a Discord server that might serve the same purpose.
If you're interested in brainstorming with me, please feel free to DM me here or on Tumblr (ofmdrecaps or gentlebeardsbarngrill)!Sorry for taking up a bit of the love notes for that!
Been a lot of crazy things happening out there. I truly hope you are staying safe, and you are getting some rest in all this.Please remember, you are worthy the way you are. You are beautiful and worthy of life and happiness, no matter what anyone says okay?
We are gonna get through this. Take care of yourselves.
Some love from @thelatestkate 💜

💌 Love Notes
Hey lovelies. I know that Mother's Day can be a mixed experience depending on your personal situation. If receiving a belated Mother's Day wish makes you happy, then I am sending them your way – if it's complicated, or hurtful, I'm sending hugs instead.
You are wonderful and perfect as you are, no matter what.

💌 Love Notes
Hey there lovelies, I've got quite a few recaps lined up. It's been a crazy month for me... I figure everyone else is having a similar time, but I certainly hope not! I hope you are having the best times of your life.
But if you're not.. just know it won't always be this way. Sometimes we gotta move back to move forward again, and like this note from Positively Present says.. sometimes we've got to let go of some things to make room to grow.
Please be kind to yourselves lovelies. Be kind, and give yourself some grace.
Love you Crew.

Hey lovelies. I hope you're all doing okay. Love Notes are short tonight because I'm not feeling very well. If you're struggling with something you've done, try to forgive yourself if you can.

💌 Love Notes
Hey lovelies, back to catching up again, I've given up on worrying too much about it, it is what it is, at least I'll get April done tonight.
I hope you're all staying safe out there, like @thelatestkate below, I really don't know how to fix the world, so I'm just taking little steps forward to keep sane and do my best at what I can. Please remember that you're wonderful, and no matter how bad things get, they can always get better again. Be kind to yourselves, lovelies. <3

💌 Love Notes
Hey lovelies. As I was getting ready to post this, "This Woman's Work" started playing, and hand to goodness it came up randomly on Spotify (after I'd chosen the below Love Notes art already). I thought it was a good sign to send out a gentle reminder that we all still have a little life in us yet.
Things are tough right now. Every day we're fighting, every day we're pushing back, and it's exhausting. Please take a break. Please handle today and no matter what happens, even if you stay on that break, come back to this world tomorrow. You have so much life left in you, and you have so much love and kindness to give to this world, and this world to give to you.
You deserve soft times, and love, and we're gonna have to fight for them for a while, but I hope you know you deserve them, and they will happen one day. We just have to hold onto hope.
If I was going to be stuck in the Gravy Basket with anyone, I'm glad it's all of you. Love you Crew.

💌 Love Notes
Hey there lovelies! I've missed you! I'll be working on doing a lot of catch up over the next week or so now that taxes are finally done!
Tonight I just want to remind every single one of you how well you're doing. Shit is hard right now. So hard. We are experiencing things we never thought we would, and yet here you are, still here, and I'm so very proud of you for that.
You are still here and that means so much to me and everyone else. That being said, please oh please take some time for you. Whatever you need to recharge some of your battery. Read a book, listen to your favorite song or album on loop, dance around your living room in your underwear, eat something tasty you enjoy, cuddle with your fur-family, hug your favorite person, visit your favorite place!
I know that that's not always possible for everyone, so If you're not able to for any reason, please take some time tomorrow to close your eyes and imagine some of those things you love. Sit with the in your mind and enjoy them there for even just a few minutes. Our imaginations can change our brain chemistry – and it can actually help with our anxiety.
Anything you can do for you – do it! We need things to remind us of how good the world can be. Of the love and silliness that's here, and that as bad as shit is, we can still poke our heads into happiness once in a while. Anyway, I'm rambling sorry... I hope you are hanging in there, and getting any ounce of rest you can Crew. Stay safe out there. Here's a lovely reminder from @thelatestkate ! 💖

💌 Love Notes
It's been a while lovelies! Jeez! What a year it's been so far. I tell ya one of these days things are going to calm the heck down and things are going to get easier, they just have to.
Today I just wanted to share this post from @thelatestkate to remind you that tomorrow can be so scary when things are uncertain and we never know what's going to happen - but that doesn't mean we have to always look to the future.
Sometimes, when things are hard, we need to sit here in the moment and process them so we can deal with tomorrow when it comes.
Please remember to get some rest and be kind to yourselves lovelies. 🫶

💌 Love Notes
Hey there crew. It's been a while. I'm sorry this edition is so small after such a huge amount of time. Trying to keep them to 2-4 days, but we'll see how that goes with how behind I am.
It's been a lot lately. Home, work, the world, the fandom, just a lot's been happening all at once. I've been trying to focus on a few things that I've had to work on outside the fandom as well as taking some mental health breaks and that's been keeping me busy.
So tonight, for the love notes, I just wanted to take a second to say thank you. So many of you have been so kind to me and so many others over this past year + that I've been here. Even if I just get to see your name pop up on my notifications for a like or a reblog, or if we chat, or I just get to catch glimpses of your works across the various platforms, it brings me a lot of joy.
Some of you, I only really know through tags. Others I know from discord, or bsky, or instagram. Some of you I've never spoken to outside of tumblr - but I can honestly tell you, you have improved my life by being here.
Others of you, I consider you some of my closest friends. Friends I've never met, miles away around the world, and your influence on me is so incredibly profound - and even if we never meet each other in person, I will never be the same because of you.
I'm so very blessed and lucky to have found this place - to have found you all. I know a lot of you feel the same way about the people you interact with here on the day to day.
That being said, the world is a complicated place. Sometimes things don't go the way we planned, whether on a personal, fandom, or global level. Sometimes people disappoint us, and spaces we thought fit us shift in shape.
No matter what changes for you in this world, I want you to know that your kindness, and your interactions with me and everyone else have made a positive difference. Thousands and millions of tiny interactions continue to happen within our fandom every day.
Some of them don't go the way we hope they will - but the majority of them, are beautiful. Sometimes we have to learn from them, and they help us grow, and sometimes they nourish us in hard times.
We are a community of wonderfully kind people who were brought together by chance. Thank you for being here. Thank you for making my life better, and this world a better place.

💌 Love Notes
Hey lovelies. I know this week was a bit of an emotional roller coaster! The 3 year anniversary of OFMD was on 03/03 and then the 1 year anniversary of David telling us 'officially' there was no renewal was on 03/07.
I remember that day really well. I remember crying at my desk for hours while I tried to work. I remember streaming OFMD with several crewmates trying to find some semblance of calm. It's hard to believe it's been a whole year.
The renewal campaign efforts were so intense those first few months, and then David's message hit us all like a ton of bricks. But you know what? You all still kept showing up.
Whether it was for renewal efforts, menacing WB execs, supporting your fellow crew financially or emotionally, raising money for marginalized groups, for cast & crew in their continued endeavors - you kept showing up.
That's what community is. We show up for each other.
I know the craft fair has been a big topic for several weeks now, and I'm loving every ounce of it because look at what it's done. Over $100,000 for trans youth, our sibs that are currently being targeted by so many people in the US and across the world.
I know we can't afford to spend that much money all the time, but it's so incredibly inspiring what you all can do when you band together.
Please never forget the power you have, individually, but especially as a crew, as a community. We rally together so well because this crew is kind and loving and even when we have our inter-fandom squabbles, we still come together when things are most important and make magic happen.
I hope you know how proud we all are of you lovelies. I hope you all are proud of yourselves for the immense impact you made on so many lives, just by being kind.
Rest well, remember to hydrate, and take some time for you.

💌 Love Notes
Hey Lovelies! I hope you had such wonderful experiences in reminiscing about our show on the anniversary! I have said it before, and I'll say it again, this show changed my life. It changed so many lives, and helped so many people feel comfortable in their own skin. It has truly been a gift to humanity and continues to give us love and hope every day.
I am so very grateful that this show got the two seasons it did, because I ended up getting to meet all of you because of it. We are such an amazing crew, and we have accomplished so much in the art world, as well as the fundraiser world. You all are shining examples of what humanity can be when love and kindness wins. Remember that when these hard days come along and all feels overwhelming. You are the light in the dark times. You make REAL change.
Special thanks to every member of this fandom for all you do every day, as well as the fan crews out there that are still active like @AdoptOurCrew, or no longer active like #RenewAsACrew / #SaveOFMD / #OFMDFanCrew for all the engagement and love you've spread over the last few years. We appreciate all your leadership and support <3
Love you crew, Happy Anniversary to our little Gay Pirate Show.
Oh, and Ruibo Qian, our pirate queen posted these two Love Notes that day so I wanted to share them <3

Hey there lovelies. I was able to finally get this up! Only a couple days behind now. I'd really like to go back to the 2 day recaps because there's been so much more going on lately and it's hard to fit in one tumblr post for any more than 2 days at a time!
I hope you all got a chance to read Chaos Dad's OFMD Fic. I've already seen so much fan art and fics built off of it - which is so uplifting in my opinion. I know there's been questions on whether this is canon, whether it's what we'll see when we get an s3, and I think the answer right now is we just don't know.
It feels very much like a gift to keep us engaged, and spread a little joy and love in the fandom, which we can always use. So don't fret either way okay - just try to enjoy the ride if you can :).
I have to say, like so many others, my favorite quote was: "Your Fight is My Fight, your Family is My Family."
I really hope all of you know that's exactly how I and so many of your crewmates feel about you too. I know times are uncertain right now and we're all struggling to get through. But this IS all of our fights, and you all are our family. So please lean on each other if you can.
You got this lovelies, Happy Tuesday. <3

💌 Love Notes
Hey there lovelies! I feel like every time I come in here to write to you there's just so much that's happened and I'm so many days behind I just don't know where to start.
So tonight I just wanted to remind you that things will get better. They may get worse before they do, but they WILL get better.
I've seen a lot of scary things, but also so many uplifting things these past few days. People are stepping up, and not being quiet, people are fighting back, people are not giving up hope.
They're taking the threats we all face across this planet seriously, they're being loud and they're being assertive, and they're making a difference (and even annoying people enough for them to take action!)
Every single day matters. Every single voice matters. Every single kindness matters.
So whatever is going on in any given day, please remember to take a moment to be kind to yourself too. You are a very vital piece of this complex ecosystem we call Earth, and you make the world a more unique, diverse, and fantastical place.
Things will get better because you are kind, and you are resilient. Things will get better because you will make them that way - simply by being you.
Whatever happens lovelies, we WILL make things better together.
I love you crew, be kind, and most of all, be safe out there.

Hey there lovelies. We're coming up on a new week here soon. I know the past few have been doozies. Something I wanted to remind you of tonight... is just how fucking powerful you are.
You continue to get through every goddamn day like a fucking champ. Whether you are crying or sleeping or busting ass, you are still here and I am so damn proud of you.
You mean something. You matter, and you would be surprised how much you can survive when you have to.
So no matter what, you keep going, okay? If you need to take some time off, if you need to rest, or reach out for help - do it, do what you need to do. If you feel unsafe, reach out, there are a lot of groups out there who can help.
We love you, we want you to be happy, and be yourself, and most of all we want you to be safe.
You are made of love, and kindness, and that is so much stronger than any hate thrown your way.
You are beautiful. Don't forget that.

💌 Love Notes
Hey lovelies, I have been constantly thinking of you all the past two weeks. I am trying to keep my spirits up and share things when I can.
I hope you know that no matter what, you are perfect the way you are, and that the actions of a certain US president don't define you. AT ALL.
Please remember that what's going on in the US is a dying breed trying desperately to gain back the control they lost with progress, and so many of you are doing so much to prevent it. You're doing all you can.Remember to rest, people are still fighting even when you rest. I know it feels so hard right now, but please don't give up okay?
Love you crew, since I'm so behind I'll be doing some shorter love notes til I catch up again.

Please remember to rest, and take care of yourself.
Drink your water, eat some food, and laugh if you can.The world feels dark, but you are the light within it. You make it beautiful, and keep it kind.
You will shine brighter when you can recuperate and rest - so please take care of you for a while.
