#Stede assumes it is

✨Zaddy✨ would go into Stede's growing list of mistaken Pirate lingo, right next to "doggy heaven"

there are people who go "I acknowledge that this guy I am madly in love with is maybe annoying to some people but couldn't be me can't relate" but not Ed. He can't even comprehend that anyone in the world wouldn't be absolutely delighted with Stede. Would legit listen to someone talk shit about Stede and before even reacting, he'll open the heart shaped locket he's wearing with Stede's picture inside, point to it and ask "this guy???"

If you aren't driven to despair by the thought of drawing boats, Ed and Stede cuddled up in the crows nest

Anon, I feel slightly too Seen with that "driven to despair by drawing boats" thing.

If I have done my math correctly…

If you start season 2 episode 6 at 11:36pm (and skip the recap) on December 31st you can start the new year off with Stede & Ed doing the deed complete with fireworks to launch you into the new year!

Izzy Hands and Mary Bonnet have so many parallels between them that it’s wild. Emotionally distant husband (Izzy is wife-coded AF so it’s fair to make this comparison with Ed) who they’ve been with for a long time. Their husbands are very unhappy with their life. They’re both having to tell their husbands to pay attention to them, do what they’re supposed to, stop being so whim-prone. Izzy is the one tending to the crew, reminding Ed about their welfare, and Ed seems too distracted to really care. Mary is the one taking care of the kids and has to ask Stede multiple times to play with them, and he seems far too distracted to care (though he does briefly). Neither Izzy nor Mary are happy either, but they’re still trying to make it work beyond what their husbands are. And eventually, Izzy and Mary’s husbands leave them for something ‘better’ unexpectedly, and in a way that’s a betrayal to Izzy and Mary. When Stede panics after Chauncey kidnaps him in s1, he goes back to Mary and tries to pick up where he left off but it’s clear he’s not wanted by Mary. When Stede doesn’t show up on the beach, Ed goes back to Izzy and tries to pick up where he left off, but it’s clear this gentle version of Ed isn’t who Izzy wants him to be. When they finally have distance between themselves and their husbands, they both find themselves and are finally happy toward their end of the time on the show. Mary has her painting and her found family of widows and Doug. Izzy does drag and sings and whittles and has his found family of the crew. They both support their former husbands’ new love at the end of their arcs.

Izzy and Mary’s husbands fell in love with each other, but only one of these characters got to be happy at the end of their very parallel arcs in a way where it felt complete to end their time on the show.

Idk. It’s something.

"The man's half insane"

"You're just an insane, unpleasant shell of a man who's merely posing as Blackbeard."

"I should have let the English kill you. This - whatever it is that you've become - is a fate worse than death."

"This is Blackbeard. Not some namby-pamby in a silk gown pining for his boyfriend."

soulmates 🥰

so it’s august.

two months out, officially.

which means there’s a very VERY real possibility of actually getting promotional material this month.

like, a teaser could legitimately drop if they follow the same two month out teaser/one month out trailer pattern.

we could legitimately see season 2 stede for the first time, more of season 2 ed, and get glimpses of what’s actually in store for us like,,,

If I had a nickel for every time Ed wore his boyfriends robe, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice

[dyketennant]

the fact that i live in a world where michael sheen and rhys darby may be up against each other for best actor is perhaps a fate worse than death

Same same but different… but also same
