Though the fandom often speculates about his posts, we are all certain of one thing — he is forever solidly “Behind us”!

All of our love goes out to David: it can't, and won't disappear in an instant. 🐙💙

This creation of a supportive environment that embraces and encourages diverse talent to take the lead in storytelling is one of the foremost legacies of OFMD.

We are confident that David will continue to devote his career to serving the community. Not only this, but that the networks forged and bonds created among the OFMD cast, crew, and fandom will be the catalyst for continued creative, queer projects.

Throughout our research as we put together the #CoolPirates series, we noted how the writers we profiled gained experience and credibility during their time on the show. They moved from positions as assistants, to credited writers of episodes. They were able to develop connections and relationships, ones that allowed them to support each other in achieving further opportunities.

For the purpose of this particular project, we wish to emphasize one significant action that was prioritized by both David as well as Taika Waititi: the nurturing of a writers' room where queer, trans, and nonbinary voices of color were centered by the radical act of hiring and promoting queer, trans, and nonbinary writers of color.

That is just the tip of the iceberg! There is so much more we could list. Lest we forget to mention his support of fan creators, both online and in person. He has lifted spirits by profiling fan works that have recently been limited by more legalistic entities.

As a crew, we wanted to dedicate our final #CoolPirates post to the one and only David Jenkins. Without him, there would be no Jim and their journey, no outpouring of acceptance from the crew. None of Spanish Jackie's trans husbands. No Ed, Stede, and crew learning to break the bonds of toxic masculinity. No promise of our beloved polycule, and certainly, none of the queer joy this show exudes in all its glory.
