#But then I listened to their couch scene and was like 👁️👁️

[saltpepperbeard]

oh my god. i was re-watching season 2 episode four because season 2 episode four my beloved, and found another symbolic relationship angle akin to the inn talks:

what stede says: then you…shaved your beard off…for me and…

what stede means: i was already panicking about the speed in which our relationship was going, what with everything i was having to work through, but then you stripped away a pivotal part of your identity for me. and it terrified me. i was already convinced that i’m the type of person to mess things up, and then i caused blackbeard to get rid of his namesake. i stripped him of his identifying element. it wasn’t me prioritizing or preferring that persona, but rather, i was terrified of that hurting you. i was terrified you would be upset or suffer for me, because of me.

what ed says: again with the beard. sorry if my horrible, naked chin disgusts you so.

what ed means: sorry if the person behind blackbeard’s mask is unbearable. sorry if you only find that legend and persona attractive, and not the softer man behind it. sorry if my actual personality and self are so undesirable like everyone says they are.

what stede says: i love your chin, naked or otherwise.

what stede means: i love you. no matter who you want to be, no matter who you wish to present as, i love you. ed, blackbeard, or otherwise. it’s not about just the beard. it was never about just the beard. it was always just about you.

Imagine if Delinquent!Angel just bumps into David in like a dorm party or something and he's just "....?" Like they were late and had a bike helmet on at first so he didn't realise who they were but when they took it off,, oooouh boi did David go "👁️👄👁️"

Out of class Angel is more playful, more bold, since they are usually very well behaved while doing their group projects, even David can't imagine how differently they act out of their classes.

David goes to parties only because he's dragged by Ash and Milo to socialise. He doesn't hate it but he ends up the designated driver most of the time.

A little out of place but imagine Angel riding a massive bike with David at the back and he's just holding on for dear life as they rode through the city in the night

~➰

David taking a break from the project and Angel gets up to leave, David asks them where they’re going and they come back with a spare helmet and chucked it at his head

“Put this on”

“Why?”

“You’re going on a ride with me”

“But—”

“You don’t have a choice david shaw”

And so they rode into the night.

(My Angel has long hair) imagine if they took off the helmet and did that slow-no movie scene where they shook out their hair and literally glowed. David’s staring at them like 👁👄👁 and Angel looks at him

“Cat got your tongue?”

David driving a drunk Angel home. Carrying them to their couch and (I know some people hate this trope and I kinda dislike it too but it works well) Angel just slurs something unintelligible, so david leans closer to listen and Angel just pulls him over and he falls on them

If Asher or Milo had been there they’d be whooping and whistling

David’s face turns 50 Shades of Red

Delinquent!Angel used to go street racing to earn money (and a lot they did win) and their friends pitched together to buy them a Harvey and they still have it

It roars so loud David wondered if lions could hear it in Africa
