Izzy teaching Stede to fight hand-to-hand as an excuse to get to mock him and make him feel bad about himself, only as Stede gets better and actually manages to land some hits, Izzy realises he's kind of getting off on getting knocked on his back by this idiot. Like, the first time Stede makes his nose bleed, Izzy's severely tempted to get nasty right there on deck.

Just, Stede immediately panicking because he just hit IZZY in the nose, and there's blood, and he's apologising and waiting to be stabbed to death and Izzy just like 'fuck yeah...do that again, but harder'. And that's it, that's the moment Stede's like...holy shit, am I...into this???

So they keep 'practicing' until eventually they're both leaning on each other to stay upright and Stede tastes blood on Izzy's teeth when they kiss.

Ed witnessing this utter train wreck with a coffee in one hand and just being like 'ha, noice'.

EDIT - so this is in my wip folder now...

EDIT 2 - I wrote it (with some changes to the above scenario as plot demanded) now set post s2 ep7...

Why I think Izzy’s death was actually necessary despite me being sad about losing my favorite* character…

So I am once again looking to reframe a moment/scene involving Izzy around Ed because as much as Izzy was his own character (with a wonderful redemption arc) his function in the narrative imo is as an extension of the Blackbeard persona and therefore Ed and his perception of himself

Ok so this is gonna be long but I think it’s necessary to frame this properly

Izzy and Ed’s relationship is one of misery loving company and instead of finding ways to legitimately pull each other up and heal from whatever brought you to that place it turns to one of toxicity where you either repress the trauma (Ed never telling anyone that he killed his father, that he feels like a monster) or express it in ways that only perpetuate the misery. At this point that constant cycle of misery is so familiar it can be difficult for the participants to recognize what they’re doing to themselves and each other and it’s difficult to not fall back into those patterns.

So while Izzy is making strides and having his arc, instead of saying to Ed maybe don’t go looking for darkness when you’re standing in the light, don’t look for trouble or problems that don’t exist just because that’s what you’ve come to expect he says maybe you’re just a mopey twat and there isn’t a fuckin storm, when Ed does apologize for his leg Izzy’s only response is fuck off.

They can’t communicate with each other effectively and it’s already caused issues. When Izzy tells Ed to listen to the feeling of throwing away the trappings of Blackbeard, Ed does but he has also been told by Izzy that Ed isn’t good enough so why would Stede want him now that he’s not gonna be Blackbeard. I think Izzy meant well and had the right sentiment but the fact is that the damage of what they do to each other has already been done. Izzy doesn’t just represent the devil on Ed’s shoulder, he’s the voice in his head telling him he’s worthless without Blackbeard.

So could the narrative have just said Izzy went off on his own or went with the crew in the end? imho no they couldn’t because in order to have a healthy relationship with Stede, and just to be a generally well adjusted person Ed needs to love himself and the constant knowledge that his self loathing can just pop up out of nowhere (something explicitly shown as an Izzy staple) won’t allow him that freedom. (I recognize this isn’t how self development/self esteem works irl but this is a dark comedy rom com just let some things be hand wavy.)

Sometimes the best way to help each other grow and be whole is to recognize that you need to let the other person go. That’s true for BOTH of them.

Izzy dying was the only way they could finally communicate honestly without the jibes and the looming Blackbeard of it all they could just talk to each other as family as people who love each other (this is not my ship and I have a serious issue with the lack of nuanced takes on love in this fandom but that’s a separate issue).

To give Izzy some grace here I would like to point out that his story can also be seen as one that tells the audience that toxic people in your life or people you have complicated relationships with are allowed to grow on their own and make positive changes for themselves BUT that does not mean you have to accept them back in your life, you are not required to give them space after they’ve wronged you. You can celebrate their growth but you don’t owe them anything. Ed can recognize that Izzy has changed but he was never going to fully excise Izzy from his life he’s too familiar and too much a darkness to hide in and it would have created more toxic situations. So yes Izzy had to die.

*I always mean favorite side character because my favorite character is EdStede/StedeEd. If you don’t love them, together and separately then you don’t love the show because this is their story

[samuelroukin]

no but izzy is such a poseur with only tattoos on his hand and face like babygirl you have an entire juicy body to put some fun pictures on and all you have is that?

[lesbianballofgender]

I think we all forgot that Izzy moaned ‘Daddy’ in season one so… here’s your reminder

[sinfulsunni]

really wish they did some closer shots on izzy’s face during the amputation scene so I could sexualize it :C

[jellybeanium124]

in 1x04 wee john tells izzy "be a dear and make me one of those" and I know there's at least a 60% chance that wee john just wanted to piss him off, but on the off chance john was serious and wanted a hot drink, why the fuck would he want what izzy's drinking?? there's a 100% chance that what's in that mug is the darkest dark roast ever made and it's probably not even of great quality.

[cryptix23]

I have seen zero posts about Izzy's "anything you do to me will just turn me on" wtf people

[who-the-fuck-knows-blog]

now that we have canon confirmation that izzy wanted blackbeard/‘provoked’ ed into blackbeard because it was the only way he felt needed to ed, it was the closest he felt to ed was when they were a team and he thought that ed would discard him if he didn’t keep blackbeard alive (because he is in love with ed, not blackbeard, but he didn’t think he could have ed.) i will just block you if i see you saying izzy did it because he was power-hungry or to get his own rocks off… lol

[beelzeballing]

rewatched ofmd (yes, 2 days after i first watched it) but with 2 of my siblings this time. my brother was SO INTENT on hating izzy cuz i keep simping for him but a bit into s2 he finally cracked, paused the episode and went "fuck okay i have to admit something... i actually love izzy, he's hilarious" and i just started screaming "YESSSSSSS HAHAHAHAHA". im still the only izzy simp aboard but i made both of my siblings into izzy likers and thats enough.

i was a little devious even cuz everytime the unicorn appeared, id go "omg heyyyy the unicorn" so the unicorn would be BURNED into their mind by the time The Scene happened. yknow, for a bit more oomph. it worked!

im just a silly little guy whos also a genius... orchestrating situations... collecting converts. izzy converts.

[carrymelikeimcute]

You were in the master bedroom’s bathroom showering after Izzy just returned from recording It's So Easy with Axl Duff, Steven, and Slash. Izzy got home and played the final recording tape on the VCR. It was without the music it was all just the original audio. He wanted to set the mood for when you were all done showering. You got out of the bathroom. You saw Izzy. He was lying down on the bed. He started to stroke his dick while being restless about using his new toys on you. He stopped when he heard the door creak and he saw it open slightly. He stopped not because of the shame but because he wanted to fuck you. You saw the packaging the toys were in. You were always so excited about him trying new ways to enjoy yourselves in the bedroom. You loved when Izzy would inflict pain on you because he was a sadist. You were a masochist. You loved the tingling pain he inflicted on you. You went over to the bed excited for what was coming your way. “Are you ready?” Izzy said in his raspy voice. 

He picked up your favorite toy. The nipple clamps. It was a form of BDSM Izzy loved doing. They hurt you but they felt good. They helped you stay hard for him. You loved the feeling of lady boners. Izzy was hard watching you get excited to obliterate your dripping wet pussy. This time it was his dick quivering for your attention. You threw your clean top off and threw it on the ground. You first took off Izzy's black vest. You then took off his dark red shirt. You threw his pants on the bed. You saw his dick had grown 4 times in size. 

“Let me show you how much I love you,” You said looking down at his dick.

You held on to his bare pale thighs as you let his tip slip into your mouth. You let your tongue swirl circles on him for a little bit. You could feel his erection and you could feel his precome dripping into your mouth. Izzy grew impatient. He grabbed your head and forced his cock into your throat. Moans left Izzy’s mouth as your mouth slid back and forth on his long cock creating friction. He was close to his orgasm but he wanted to come inside of you. He stopped your head from going any further. He picked you up and threw you onto the bed. Him seeing your tits made him go wild. His hands grabbed your tits over and over again harshly. He picked up the nipple clamps you knew he enjoyed using on you so much. It was a silver chain with clips on each end for both your nipples. You moaned at the thought of him using them on you.

“Izzy.” You moaned as he clipped them on. 

You had to hold on to his shoulders. You felt your pussy throbbing again like it never had. You watched him. You felt your nipples harden when he put them on. Your lips made their way to his jaw. You started to leave wet trails of kisses while moving up his sharp jaw with your mouth. You saw Izzy hold his hard dick. He placed it at your entrance. You felt it slip in with ease like you were both made for each other. Izzy let out heavy breaths as he began thrusting. You felt the nipple clamps putting pressure on your soft and sensitive nipples. You felt his hard dick which made you want to orgasm all over the place. “Izzy” You squeal as you feel him coming closer to his orgasm.

Your hands were secured on his shoulders as he thrust in and out of you. “So fucking tight baby. Come for me” He begged you.

“I’m almost there” You cried out, feeling yourself leave your orgasm on his cock. As soon as he felt all of your slick he came inside of you. You felt his warm seed coat your womb. You felt your combined orgasm drip down your thigh. You watched as Izzy's orgasm dripped down his lap. You kissed him on his lips. “That was fun” He chuckled.

“These came in handy,” He said, taking the nipple clamps off of you.

“We should try it again some other week. But more properly” He says.

You didn't say anything. You kissed him on the cheek while you held him close to your body.

The point of Izzy trying and failing to goad Stede isn't

"Izzy's trying to hook another person into his non-consensual weird masochistic games, but Stede is better than that and rises above his silly taunts by ignoring him"

The point is that Izzy is trying to deal with an authority in the way he knows how, that has always worked in the past. To direct attention his way, give an outlet to release their anger on, and then get back to the issue at hand.

The point is that it didn't work on Stede, because it was never going to work on Stede. Because that's never how he's processed his emotions or ran his ship.

The point is that Stede isn't Ed, and they both needed to realize that.
