I've said this before, but something I love about OFMD is that Ed and Stede's kisses carry both narrative and character weight, and they are deliberately choreographed for that. The first kiss is awkward and uncertain and sweet; they don't know what to do with their hands, they're sort of half turned each other, very tentative, but there's this sense of relief underneath it. It's not making out, at all; it's more meaningful in terms of their characters and their relationship's progression.

And each kiss moves them forward. It shows their desire for each other, their movement towards one another, the places where they're on the same page and where they're not. Those kisses are significant to them and to the audience, far more so than if they were all the same or if they were all deep and intense and passionate.

The way Ed and Stede touch each other, beyond kissing, is important and their kisses are symptomatic of other emotional elements, including developing intimacy.

And I'm gonna say that I find it a lot more meaningful and moving than shows or films where the leads just make out with tongue at intervals. That's just...boring.

“And I know we’re not through. I can feel it in my soul. A love like ours can’t disappear in an instant. We’re joined to one another. Intertwined. We wrote our names on each other in permanent ink.” 🏴‍☠️
