want to see s3 open with a swordfight set to lay all your love on me (not giving up on this one) but it's ed and stede fighting on the beach, through the inn, into the bedroom, where ed falls onto the mattress and "surrenders" to stede. You'll Never Believe What Happens Next
Guys if I get hunted down and my legs broken broken for sharing these photos just know I did it for the gays but here are photos I took of the ‘you wear nice things well’ scene and the deleted Lucius opium scene (although even this is different than what Nathan Foad described in terms of what they filmed for this scene so-)
And then the opium scene:
Those are the only photos I snapped of the scripts themselves (they were on an iPad) but i may go back this summer and if I do (hopefully they have the season two scripts) I’ll take more photos if these ones don’t get my kneecaps stolen :)
just thinking about how someone actually sat down and wrote the nose jar into existence. like…someone came up with the character Spanish Jackie, and then they were like hmmm what if she had a jar where she kept the severed noses of her enemies, and then they were like hell yeah that rules—we should devote multiple minutes of our extremely limited screen time to said jar, which will then become a relevant device in more than one plot beat across both seasons.
With utter sincerity, I just fucking love these writers so much
Stede learns Ed is trans when they swap outfits, but not because he sees Ed naked, it's because he sees Ed's packer and he shouts "Ed! Your dick fell off!"
"Stab me" scene parallel but it's Ed making Stede give him his t shot
Stede and Ed meeting through grindr texts, Stede opening with "Good morning! I'd love to see a picture of your penis," Ed responding with "don't have one" and Stede interpreting this as Ed losing his penis in some grisly, horrible accident and not bringing it up for, like, a while after they start going on dates just because he assumes it's a very sensitive topic
Canon era Ed telling anyone who asks wildly differing accounts of how he got his top surgery ranging from "lost 'em in a game of cards" to "they're in a jar at Spanish Jackie'z" to pretending to look down at his chest in horror and going "shit! where'd those fuckers get off to??"
Ed wanting to be called a princess very very badly but feeling a bit embarrassed to ask for it, Stede never referring to him using even vaguely feminine terms to try and be respectful, and the pair of them spending literal years tap-dancing around the issue while trying to be respectful of each other's boundaries
Stede using an airhorn/buzzer/very loud noise-making device to correct people who use the wrong pronouns or say anything disrespectful (I wrote a fic about this one!)
