#THE EARNESTNESS IN STEDE'S

[sevenspoonfulsofsugar]

beloved Someone who is loved; something that is loved. Much loved, dearly loved

Honestly what I want more of is Ed embracing his softer side in an awkward way like the breakfast in bed scene 💕

thinking again about how no one on planet earth could do stede bonnet justice quite like rhys darby and his funky autism swag.

[blakbonnet]

Ed has probably received the most egregious compliments in his life over his eyes and hair and tattoos and arms and ass etc and yet Stede will compare his toes to "perfect looking french fries" and he'll blush about that shit for weeks to come

is it weird that i find jason segel's dracula puppet musical love anthem the most beautiful romantic ballad i've ever heard, or is it just a sign of (i like to think) magnificent taste??? 🧛💓✨😭🙌

Pitching an episode called Fuck, Marry, Kill that's just 3 montages of Izzy fucking random guys, Lucius and Pete preparing for their wedding, and Ed and Stede trying to kill each other spliced together

I know you've got a little life in you left I know you've got a lotta strength left

[stizzysupremacy]

until I see s2 imma keep daydreaming about a Stizzy flavored reunion. Ed is too heartbroken and angry to deal with Stede when he returns to the Revenge and shuts himself away in the captains cabin. Stede is forced to work as a crewmate until he is accepted back as co-Captain. He’s gained some muscle and lost a lot of he complaining-about-the-discomfort-of-physical-labor and he’s turning into a competent fucking sailor finally. And he’s not dressed like a ponce anymore and he’s working hard and obey orders. Even the ones Izzy gives to fuck with him. And Izzy sees Stede, tits barely contained in a worn shirt, blonde beard, a nice set of sailor’s crows-feet developing. And oh fuck, the idiot is handsome and not quite as idiotic anymore. And Izzy can’t just ignore him because izzy has to run the ship while Edward is hiding. And as the only one Edward trusts, Izzy is forced to be the go-between for him and Stede and pass messages. Maybe it’s not so annoying after a while because Stede is trying to avoid annoying izzy into kicking him off the ship, so the first mate is getting some damn respect from him finally.

[poison-into-positivity]

I genuinely think Stede could’ve fixed Izzy if he’d had enough time. Not even in like a Stizzy way either he could have just helped him complete his muppefication

[annapotterkiku]

i really wonder if "blackbeard did say he credited you with a lot of skills" "you taught him everything he knows" etc was just bullshit from stede to coax izzy into teaching him how to be a proper pirate lmao

[napneeders]

anyway my Hc is and has been that Now that Stede Knows he's In Love he's going to think himself the expert on Love in a parallel to how he entered season 1 naively confident in his Vision of Piracy

[suddenrundown]

the only explanation i can come up with for why ed is wearing leather in episode 6 is so that there can be a joke about how much work it is for stede to get him out of it

[cuculine-nelipot]

Lowkey obsessed with Ed and Stede adopting a child *cough*de-aged Izzy*cough* and at first Ed defers to Stede's experience, but over time he starts sounding more and more like Mary ("Stede, you need to play with him, you need to spend more time with him, can you read him a bedtime story? But no that one, you know it gives him nightmares") prompting Stede to run away again.

[pealeii]

Xgycxyxoyfupfuxyf ed speaking gently around stede

[ask-stede-bonnet]

Everyone’s in line to comfort Edward if you ever leave him again, if you don’t want him plenty of people do

I want him!!! I want him until the end of time, until we're both dust and memories held onto by our loved ones, until the last star in the universe dies out. I love my darling Ed dearly and I have learned from my mistakes. I will never have second thoughts about that again.

[massiveaggression]

The OFMD brain rot is so bad that I was literally just fixing a treat for my dog while thinking about history in the show, then I thought of Jack's introduction and Stede being bitchy with "though in hindsight, I probably could have guessed" and actually laughed out loud. To myself. In my kitchen. While just remembering bitchy Stede Bonnet.
