Whatever else you wanna say about Izzy’s death I find it so heinous to say shit like, “He didn’t blame him because it was his fault, he provoked him” girl Ed is not a wild dog. He’s a human being. If I provoked my roommate by telling him he’s a shit roommate who I hate and wish was dead, he’s not allowed to even hit me, let alone chop off 3 of my toes and shoot me in the leg and whatever else is implied by All That (which for my own sanity I have to ignore or else it gets worse 😩)

#like the implications to me #as someone with a basic amount of knowledge when it comes to abuse #is that this is the final escalation of their relationship #like this is that final horrific lead up to when an abused partner gets murdered #and he very much does attempt to murder him and does basically do some weird family annhilation shit #and like that shot was dark as hell #but because we know we’re Supposed to be in silly pirate land #we give some leeway to the gratuitousness of the violence #that is heavily coded as domestic violence which was already a bold choice for the main romantic lead #until we can no longer give leeway because what the fuck did he just APOLOGIZE #for Making Him Abuse Him?!?!?#there is a difference between setting up a character #as a man who does violence to random others because he’s in the violence job and it’s a genre show #and making him a man who does violence (mutilates) his wife coded subordinate for… speaking out of turn and saying the equivalent #of fuck you I want a divorce #anyways sorry one day I’ll stop getting mad #pirate bitching
