ofmd at the beginning: haha watch this silly guy run away from his family to be a pirate and befriend blackbeard himself

ofmd by the end: kindness and gentleness will prevail against toxic masculinity. the world is cruel but you’re never too broken to love and be loved. change is both possible and inevitable. queer joy and community is worth fighting for

Overwhelmed tonight with fondness for Ed Teach. This is a man whose entire life has been filled with people determined to harm him. His memories of the love he received from his mother exist alongside the memories of the cruel words and abuse from his father, and he grew up and came into his own in a culture of abuse, full of other people who were just in various stages of fucking each other over. Time and again, he's had his character warped into a caricature of himself until he's convinced that caricature is all he is, he's been denied his own humanity. He has led a life that led to him being so utterly convinced that he is not only undeserving of love, he's inherently incapable of being loved by others.

And yet. Despite all of that, Ed's first instinct is always, always gentleness. Even when he didn't know Stede was worth trusting, he woke him with the softest, easiest touch he could. He loves feeling soft fabrics, is easily excited, and loves to play. He desperately longs to make genuine emotional connections with others; he wishes beyond hope for a gentleness he's convinced he can't receive in turn. His first impulse when upset is to wrap himself in a blanket and hide. When others insult him he gives them chance after chance to walk it back. He thinks himself a monster but he's so incredibly kind, gentle, forgiving, patient. He dreams of wearing a wedding dress, he loves tenderly holding Stede's face in his hands, he is desperate for genuine affection.

Tragic, that the guy who's so scared he's unlovable is also the most lovable man ever.

man i love ed so much. he pulls funny faces at himself in the mirror. wears his hair up in a pretty bun with pieces framing his face. drinks his tea with 7 sugars as if he’s not sweet enough already. eats with his fingers. has giant princess eyes. makes a pillow fort or hides under anything soft when he’s upset. hugs stede after the lighthouse fuckery with a whispered “yes! we fucking did it!” while he shakes stede gently bc he’s so genuinely giddy and excited. cannonballs off the ladder to go catch fishies with fang. loves stede’s teeny tiny model of the revenge. he does that silly arm dance thing with stede’s shirtsleeves flowing around. he brushes his nose against stede’s after their first kiss. has a little bite of toast before hurrying off to take breakfast to his boyfriend. how can anyone hate this guy? how can anyone be mean to him? he’s wonderful and i’m kissing his forehead ok
