stizzy izzy is bottoming always but he’s also about 60-70% of the time calling stede a bitch and insulting his dick throughout. edizzy izzy is topping more than he would if it were up to him but no matter what he’s crying and whimpering and shaking like A scared wet beast. well they are both crying because edizzy is a nightmare. steddyhands izzy is too busy being spitroasted to do any of this

[loreleisekhmet]

ugh, kissing, gross!!!

[loreleisekhmet]

this is my first time participating in a kinktober event and I'm super excited ;w; I know DD content isn't everyone's cup of tea but a lot of the prompts from this list gave me some really fun (well, sad) ideas that I thought could be interesting to explore over the month, even if I only have time to do a small handful :>

💤 BlackHands (implied/referenced Gentlebeard) 💤 1,2k - Rated E (Dead Dove) 💤 Day 6/7: FREE DAYS — Somno & Identity Porn 💤 CW: Non-con, implied drug use, whump, unhappy ending 💤 The Kraken only lets his mask slip when the crew are asleep. Izzy wishes he had stayed blissfully unconscious.

[loreleisekhmet]

so here’s my take on season 2 episode 1 💖

[loreleisekhmet]

Talking It Through - Part 1/5

Me: what if Stede got back before izzy was able to do his gaslight girlboss routine while Ed was vulnerable enough for it to work and he had to talk about his feelings instead

Also me: what if you spent 3 months drawing a five part comic about it

Lol ok so these parts are going to vary wildly in quality bc I started so long ago but im excited to finally post them publicly! :3 I’m too soft on Izzy really but this is one of those times where I had dialogue in my head I HAD to get out, but bc I am an artist I can’t just write a fic apparently 😂

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: 1. Wide comic panel showing Ed and Izzy standing in the Captain's quarters on The Revenge. Izzy stands back on the right, arms crossed and scowling off to the side as he says, "You're really gonna let this... ponce just stroll back in-" Ed, wearing a flowery purple dressing gown, back to the viewer in the foreground as he folds some items in a wicker basket, cuts in with a casual "Watch it, Iz." Izzy continues, "-like he didn't ruin you then leave you high and fookin dry. Blackbeard wouldn't put up with that."

2a. Top left comic panel, Ed from the front as he turns to face Izzy, holding the basket of folded blankets. We see he is wearing his black undershirt and leather trousers under the dressing gown. He smiles mockingly at Izzy, brows raised in fake pity as he replies, "Aw, you seem upset, Izzy! Need to get something off your chest?" 2b. The next speech bubble crosses over to the top right panel, which shows a close up of Izzy's stern face staring at Ed as Ed steps closer. Ed continues, "Well, you know what we do on The Revenge!" 2c. Bottom left panel, profile shot of Ed and Izzy facing each other as Ed leans close with an easy grin, booping Izzy on the nose with his pointer finger. He continues, "We talk it through, as aaa...?" and trails off to allow Izzy to complete the phrase. 2d. Bottom right panel, same shot as previous panel. Izzy slaps Ed's finger away from his face, spitting "I'm not like Bonnet's stupid playthings!" towards the floor. Ed allows his hand to be slapped down, expression unbothered.

3a. Shot over the back of Izzy's shoulder as he continues to glare at the floor to avoid Ed's gaze. Ed is tall in the frame, a shadow falling over his face as his smile drops. He agrees, "No...you're not." The background of the room blurs together into smears of teal that darkens around Ed. 3b. Ed suddenly tackles Izzy around the thighs, fully taking him off the floor and knocking him outside the bounds of the angled red action panel. Izzy's arms flail and he lets out a shocked "Wha-?" as Ed wordlessly takes him down, face in shadow.

4a. Angled action panel of the wooden floor as Ed and Izzy hit the ground and roll, knocking over a wooden side table holding a tin mug with a fern. The mug tips out of the frame, spilling water and leaves into the darkening background. Izzy grunts out a "Fuck!" as his back hits the floor, one flailing hand locking around a piece of Ed's hair, Ed pinning him down with arms around his chest. 4b. Lower left, they roll so Izzy is on top, snarling as he rips out a strand of Ed's hair and aims a clumsy punch at his cheek, spitting "Fookin twat!" Ed grunts, face screwing up as he takes the hit, both hands moving to lock around Izzy's arms. The background is fully black now, angry red spots blooming around their forms. 4c. Red blooms around them again as they roll, Ed on top again and slamming Izzy's back on the floor, one hand pinning his shoulder and the other gripping tight at the arm that hit him. Izzy's breath is punches out with an "Oof!" And Ed snaps "Stay down!" /end ID]

2a. Artistic rendition of the last comment. Guillermo, now a vampire and grinning smugly to show off his fangs, leans into a doorway to wave and say “Sup, everybody?” 2b. Reverse shot of Nadja and Laszlo on the couch. Nadja is looking up from brushing her doll’s hair, confused and uninterested. The doll’s eyes move toward Guillermo in surprise without moving from Nadja’s lap. Laszlo lurches forward over a suddenly raging erection, eyes wide and mouth panting, hands gripping the back and arm of the couch and cracking the wood. The button on his trousers pings across the room from the force of his erection. Above him is red dripping text that reads “lust.jpg”

3. Reverse shot of Nandor glaring at Laszlo as he governs Guillermo with his cape, muttering “fucking guy…” Guillermo just stands there confused. /end ID

Classic interaction

(ID in alt and under cut)

1. Guillermo sitting on a couch, Nandor straddling his lap. Guillermo's cardigan is half unbuttoned and he has his hands resting on Nandor's hips. Nandor has both knees tucked into Guillermo's side and his arms braced on the back of the couch on either side of his head. Nandor's head is turned towards the viewer to glare over his shoulder, snapping, "Laszlo, go away! I am wooing! Pervert!" Guillermo, eyes going small and shocked as he looks past Nandor, startles and goes entirely red. A heartbeat line behind him flatlines.

2. Reverse shot of Laszlo leaning casually in the doorway, right hand raised to casually inspect his nails. He stares at the two with indifference and replies, "Don't stop on my account, old chap. I'm just making sure Gizmo here cleans the settee once you're finished ejecting his fluids onto it." /end ID

@blakbonnet @saltpepperbeard Your post has come to fruition…this comic hurt my teeth with its sweetness!! I should apologize for how long it is but...I won't.

(ID in alt and under cut)

ID: 1. Full body of Stede and Ed standing in an 80s grocery store. Ed, wearing a black tee shirt tucked into lightwash jeans, black boots, a light blue handkerchief in his back left pocket, and his hair in a high ponytail, is standing with an empty grocery cart with both hands on the handle and one foot up on the bottom basket. He glances from the empty cart and then to Stede, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. Stede, wearing a retro-patterned teal and purple short sleeved button up tucked into pleated khaki slacks, brown leather loafers, and a gold watch, his hair swept back in a big feathered quiff, holds his hands up defensively with a nervous smile. He says, “Oh- Darling, no. No, no, I’m too big!”

2a. Ed begins to stalk towards Stede with a mischievous grin, arms out in a grabbing motion. Stede backs up, smile growing even as his eyes narrow in warning and his hands try to bat him away. “Ed.” he says shortly. 2b. Ed darts forward and grabs Stede around the waist, scooping him up over his shoulder. Stede bursts into laughter, face going red, and yells “Ed! Put me down, you’ll hurt yourself!” 2c. Ed walks back toward their cart with Stede flopped over his shoulder and sings, “Nonsense, love!” In the background, there is a young brown woman wearing a patterned jumpsuit with long dark feathered hair facing the shelves as she browses cereal. There is a baby over her shoulder wearing teal overalls who catches Stede’s eye as they pass and reaches out a chubby little hand to wave at him in solidarity. Stede waves back automatically, clearly embarrassed but unable to stop smiling.

3a. Ed half-falls into the cart with a punched-out “Oof!” as he flops Stede down into it butt-first, his face buried in Stede’s chest and Stede’s legs flying up around him. 3b. Ed lifts himself up with his arms braced on either side of Stede, nose-to-nose with his husband who has sat up in the cart with a silly grin, one leg thrown over the side. Ed continues the previous conversation with a soft smile, “It’s like holding a couple of grapes.” 3c. Ed closes the last inch between them to smack a kiss on the tip of Stede’s nose. Stede reddens and snorts out a laugh.

4. Close up on the woman in their aisle as she chooses a cereal called “Matey Puffs” featuring a white cartoon Blackbeard with a hook hand. She glances over in confusion at Ed and Stede as they zoom away, Stede tucked in the cart and Ed driving, both giggling uncontrollably. The baby continues to wave after them.

5. Text reading “Later…”

6a. Stede and Ed waiting in line at the checkout. Stede is still in the cart, knees pulled to his chest, now surrounded by piles of groceries including a bottle of L&P soda, a bag of shredded cheese, a head of romaine lettuce, a bottle of wine, a few packs of meat, a bag of apples, a bag of Twisties, a loaf of bread, a bag of Roshuns, several packs of spaghetti, and a few miscellaneous cartons and jars. Ed, one hand on the cart handle, suddenly smacks the heel of his other hand against his forehead with a “duh!” expression. He exclaims, “Oh, shit! We forgot the oranges!” Stede turns his head around shoot him an annoyed look and replies, “What?? That’s the whole reason we came!” 6b. Ed runs off in a cloud of dust, shouting behind him, “BRB, Baby! Kiss kiss!” Stede cranes his neck after him in panic, unable to move from his grocery prison, calling, “Wai- Ed! Ed!!” 6c. Stede turns back around, red faced, sweating with nerves, and now a middle aged man alone in a full grocery cart. In front of him in queue is a bald man resembling Black Pete in a white suit with the sleeves rolled up, pushing his own cart. Behind him are an older dark-skinned woman with short gray hair wearing a puff sleeve shirt, long pink skirt, and pearls, holding a full basket with both hands and a large Māori man resembling Fang in a pink polo shirt and pleated khakis with a bag of dog food under one arm. They both step forward automatically to fill Ed’s vacated space.

7a. The older woman leans forward toward Stede with a small smile, saying, “You and your husband are very sweet.” Stede cranes his neck around to smile at her nervously, replying, “Oh! Thank you…” 7b. The woman loosens one hand from her basket to place it on Stede’s cart, continuing, “Let me push you forward, the queue is moving.” Stede drops his chin to his chest in relief, breathing out a much more genuine “Thank you.”

8a. Text at the top reads “9 minutes later”; Stede has reached the front of the line. The employee, who resembles Izzy, is wearing a blue striped button up and red bow tie under a yellow apron and stands, one hand hovering over the register as he stares down silently at Stede. Stede, looking small and scared, barely able to peek over the edge of the counter, stares back sweatily with wide eyes and says, “Ummm…” 8b. The employee startles as Stede cracks his head back and screams at the top of his lungs, “Ed!! Darling, where are you?? We have a problem!!”

9a. Ed suddenly zooms into view holding a bag of oranges, sliding smoothly between Stede and the register with a grin and a wink. He says, “Never fear, my love! I’m here!” Stede smiles hugely at him, full of relief and love. Behind them, the Izzy-like employee just glares at them, looking extremely tired, revealing he is wearing a large anachronistic button that says “service with a smile”. Stede cries, “You came back!” Ed replies, “Never left.” Both their speech bubbles are filled with pink hearts. 9b. Text in parentheses at the top says “he really didn’t.” We now see Ed from earlier, already holding the bag of oranges, peeking out from behind a shelf with a warm expression. He giggles, one hand to his cheek, as he observes Stede’s predicament from afar. Offscreen, Stede is saying, “Oh- Louise, we’re moving again.” Louise, presumably the older woman behind him in line, responds, “I’ve got you!” Stede continues, “Haha, getting awfully close to the front, aren’t we… I wonder what’s taking Ed so long…” /end ID

[loreleisekhmet]

I’ve seen a lot of people posting about how Ed deserves to be courted in S02, how he deserves the world, deserves to be gently held and cared for, brought back from the edge with a soft touch. That Stede needs to “make it up to him”.

While I don’t deny these points by any means, let us not forget that Stede was led out of his bed at gunpoint, verbally beaten into submission and finally made witness to yet another (accidental) death that he now feels responsible for. Yes, while he did run back to his old life—severely affected by Chauncey’s words and actions, and made ashamed of his little maritime adventures—ultimately it did lead to his revelation about just how much he deeply cares for Ed. What it truly feels like to be in love. Now Stede knows what he wants, he’s grown more confident in himself and how he wants to live, and I’m pretty sure that with this experience under his belt he would actually have the courage to fight for it.

However, Ed was left completely unaware of any of this—adrift, unmoored, completely bereft, believing that Stede had had a change of heart in the night and abandoned him. It’s no surprise that he would resort to ridding himself of reminders of the man who had shown him kindness and fine things, destroying his books, emptying his room, marooning the crew; trying to erase all traces of Stede Bonnet from his own ship. The problem is that Ed doesn’t know the depths of how Stede feels and so he regresses as best he can, trying to return to the Blackbeard he once was in an effort to move on, believing that’s all everyone wants from him anyway. But the sad truth is that he can’t do that either—Ed is already a man caught between two worlds and he can’t rid himself of the feelings that have swelled full in his chest, cresting like a tremendous wave threatening to pull him under. He’s caught in a hopeless sort of purgatory of his own making.

I’m so eager to explore how they will both react upon seeing each other for the first time again. I think without a doubt it will be A Bad Time™ (and believe me, I am so here for that because who needs feelings anymore) but I honestly cannot wait because I truly find their character development—both individually and as a couple—fascinating.

Ed is a wonderfully complex, chameleonic man but I think he suffers tremendously under the burden of expectation. Blackbeard—a name synonymous with fear and dread—is a hard title to shrug off when he feels like it, but allowing himself to just be Edward has proven to bring him more pain than he thought possible. The sheer amount of emotional upheaval and inner turmoil I can foresee for him at not only seeing Stede again, but hearing the reason why their plan did not go ahead… Will he simply feel anger towards a dead man? Or at himself for not anticipating something going awry and being there when Stede needed him—heaping more unrealistic expectations upon his own shoulders? Or at Stede for still running away and leaving their life behind? Will he push Stede away for the sake of the Blackbeard mantle; his pride hurt and heart broken? Or will he fall into Stede’s arms like waves crashing upon the shore—like he’s coming home?

Shame has been such a big part of Stede’s upbringing and his life in general, so I can only imagine how he will feel upon finding his crew on that tiny island, and seeing Ed and how he has now transformed. Overcome with guilt, Stede would likely assume all responsibility for Ed’s actions after believing Stede to have left him alone upon that little pier. And I’m so anxious to see Stede declare his love, because I have the sad suspicion that Ed has probably never been told those words before, other than perhaps by his mother. Certainly not in any kind of meaningful, romantic way. And I fear it may break him.

[loreleisekhmet]

I'm on my– I've lost count of how many times I've rewatched ofmd actually tbh. ANYWAY, I'm rewatching it again and I just don't think I'll ever get over it, truthfully. Even if we were to never get a second season (come on HBO, you fucking cowards) and it left us hanging on this gut-clenching precipice, I would still be so grateful that we have this. Every rewatch brings me new little things to appreciate and make me love it more (especially thanks to all the posts on here by other fans breaking down scenes/characters/etc).

The amount of euphoria this show has given me is unparalleled, in ways I didn't even realise were possible. In terms of gender, in terms of sexuality, in terms of age, in terms of simply trying to live as who I am. This show sends all the right messages in all the right ways because it doesn't beat you over the head with them and then expect a pat on the back for its efforts.

And speaking on a purely a personal level for a moment: As someone in their 30s who has—within the last year alone—completely rejected the gender binary for themselves, come out to family and friends, reassessed their sexuality, ended a long term relationship, started therapy, started to confront/come to terms with a history of abuse, fallen in love anew, had their heart broken, and has just quit their job and will be going for a drastic career change in a month... A show like this REALLY helped to cement so many uncertainties in such a turbulent time for me. That being an older queer doesn't mean you'll never find love again. That it's not an impossible feat for people to simply accept you for who you are. That if what you're doing doesn't make you happy it's never too late to start over and try something new.

And this is so, SO fucking important.

[loreleisekhmet]

something I love so much about the steddy hands throuple (or however you wanna call it) is the vast difference in sexual energies between stede and izzy, and the fact that ed is generally their bridge between worlds, having a foot planted in each camp, so to speak.

I'm just rambling rn but like, one of my absolute favourite things to read/see/think about is stede and izzy bickering in the way that they do, and understandably the sexual tension is high, and then ed just tries to diffuse it a little; a not-so-gentle nudge to push izzy over the edge into compliancy.

and of course stede likes that, he likes seeing that side of izzy and how ed can influence him, sway him with his words, watch the fight leave izzy's body when he finally admits that he does in fact want it—because he can't lie to blackbeard. izzy is always impatient and rough, but will always do as he is told (though he may still run his mouth, that much is obvious), whereas stede is soft and gentle, inexperienced but eager.

it's not so much a fight for dominance between them, but more so that they aren't quite in sync, so it's just... messy and a little awkward. but ed loves to watch them together, his two loves from two lives, both wanting and still trying despite the odds. and so he guides them, able to flow between these two energies as easy as breathing, matching them. giving izzy cruel words or a firm hand, squeezing stede's hand or stroking his hair—sometimes reversed, if it's one of those nights. he helps them find their pace, find a point where they can sync up together and then he just slides himself in with them, right where he belongs.

I like to think that stede teaches them all a thing or two about being gentle, romantic and sweet; and izzy brings that fiery, desperate passion into it; and ed helps to blend everything together, to mix up that sugar and spice into something they can all enjoy.

afshdhd sorry idk where I was going with this, my thoughts kinda ran away from me, but yeah... I just love them and their wonderful, fucked up little dynamic so much, it fuels me 💖
