actually while im in soup mode i do think its very interesting having this season that seems very very geared towards the talking it through and sharing traumas and healing through that... and the balance between owning that your actions can cause great harm to others and that while explaining what contributed to those actions can be helpful, it doesn't take away that the harm was done...

and stede bonnet is, once again, encouraging all that in everyone around him and stepping into accountability himself, but also not actually sharing any of the trauma that shaped him or contributed to his hoofing it back to barbados at the end of s1

like hmmmmmmmmmm

#ofmd #ofmd 2 #our flag means death #stede bonnet #ofmd spoilers #spoilers #like im not saying him explaining yknow. being marched into the woods at gunpoint and verbally abused and traumatized.#and how he sorta wandered back to his house barefoot and Not All There largely as a result of that incident #desperate to try to do SOMETHING right ANYTHING right #im not saying him explaining that would make the effect on ed magically vanish or be totally okay or that it should mean he stops owning it #(it being that him leaving was very hurtful which he seems to understand)#but i do think it means something that he's NOT seemingly explaining any of this?? he's just like yep i left bc i was scared and i was wron #all my fault! everything that's happening is my fault!#and people are telling him to his face that all this happening was HIS fault at least partly!#and like. however things wouldve gone if badminton hadnt tried to murder him is a whole other thing but. im p sure he'd have at least #turned up to the dock?? if not for that????#idk its hard to explain properly i just like. would really love if stede actually did talk his shit out! explain what happened!
