Wait wait wait because fuck-

When Ed and Stede fight to reach each other across the beach, they're obviously armed. It's a whole thing. Ed's got a sword, Stede has a sword and a gun.

But they lose them when they reach each other. Stede seems to sheath his sword, but Ed just fucking drops his on the sand. You can even see Ed's boot hit the sword he's dropped when they reach each other.

And yes obviously part of this was because they wanted this scene to be intimate and sweet and they needed to hold each other like this. It's also very cute because it works with what we know about these two; when they're together, they feel safe, like nothing can hurt them, and when they reach each other they immediately think "welp, don't need these anymore" and lose the weapons because the most important thing is holding each other.

But it also really, really works, because it underscores Ed's biggest moment of character development this whole season: violence is a tool for love. He can use it to fight his way back to the man he loves, to protect him, and when he reaches him, he doesn't have to keep holding it. It's not an immutable part of him. He can drop it.

"Works for spiders, works for men."

I'm still obsessed with how Stede's go-to solution for things that make Ed upset is to just throw them off the fucking boat. If you scare his princess you're fucking going overboard.

Catch Stede at 3 am absolutely yeeting a blanket with a too-scratchy texture that Ed didn't like out the window. He'll do this in the inn too. If it makes Ed upset he's not letting it stay in the house

aside from the fact that izzy shouldn’t have died- what the FUCK was that funeral? (“fUnErAL”)

literally in the same episode theres a MARRIAGE (that izzy shouldve been there for) and everyone seems pretty fucking okay that izzy is dead. and zheng gives ed and stede a business proposal right after they fucking buried him. HUH?

where are the tears? where’s the closure??? the only one who cried was ed- for like 2 mins.

yall just gonna get married and pretend like your new unicorn didn’t just die? okay damn 🤡

Just seen a take that s1 Izzy was mad because he 'couldn't control ed anymore'.

...bestie...

Izzy's resignation speech is right there to show us that he has never been able to control Blackbeard, because he's Blackbeard. Izzy 'controls Blackbeard' like your horrible manager at Starbucks controls the CEO of fucking Starbucks.
