#jesus christ stede

[slgoodwinauthor]

At what point is Mary going to be casually leaving a merry widow brunch and see a wanted poster with a fairly decent sketch of Stede on it, wanted in conjunction with Blackbeard, aka Edward Teach???

Just Mary standing there like...Blackbeard, Edward...Ed.

Casually realising that your husband isn't just 'dating some guy named Ed' but that he's somehow gone from 'hobby pirate' to 'hopelessly in love with the real world incarnation of Satan' and then wondering if this means Blackbeard ISN'T terrible and having to just sort of agree when people talk about being scared shitless of this fucking ocean terrorist whilst knowing he's probably out there somewhere putting up with Stede's snoring and addiction to orange cake.

As someone who is a HUGE fan of Jesus Christ Superstar (I own the movie and the recording and I've seen it live twice) that one interview where Con mentions Izzy being the Judas to Ed's Jesus (specifically the JCS versions) makes me BEYOND feral.

Heaven on Their Minds as sung by Izzy... just OOOOHG. Because YEAH! From Izzy's point of view, they're wasting time and resources. He's been Ed's right hand man all along. "If you strip away the myth from the man, you will see where we all soon will be." Because Ed is still a man. He still has a responsibility to keep them all alive

Stede as Mary also has such juicy implications. "I don't know how to love him." Someone from a different world, looking at a man so known, so beloved, and now knowing how to match who they are

"He's a man. He's just a man." Not the Kraken. Not Blackbeard. Just a man. Just Ed

Judas repeating the line later. "I don't know how to love him." As Izzy looking at Ed, knowing how to love only one side of him

I'm fucking feral!!! I love this musical. Watch it. It's currently free on YouTube for the holidays

Literally every problem in ofmd would be solved if Izzy hands just fucking got some

Guys I can’t wait for Ed and Stede to meet in s2 because they are in such completely different mental states right now which means that the world they’re experiencing is entirely different.

Like, Stede is experiencing his first love and as with everything he goes all in as soon as he’s figured out his feelings, so he’s writing the most earnest, sincere love letters and laying awake at night fantasizing about their love. His entire world is tinted by his love (see: his red accessories symbolizing the heart).

But then Ed is not experiencing his first love but the worst heartbreak of his life. In the world he’s living in, Stede has made him fall in love and then gotten bored and cast him aside. He’s left Ed, and Ed can’t go back to how he was before Stede, and he can’t just turn off his feelings the way he believes Stede did and so he’s just unbelievably miserable. His entire world is tinted by this heartbreak, which is why he’s going around separating couples left and right (both the couples on the revenge crew and breaking up weddings) so that no one else can be happy in love either.

And just - they both believe so strongly in their own perception of the world and I can’t wait to see those worlds shatter when they meet!!! (Also it will probably kill me dead)

I have totally normal feelings about this image because I am a totally normal guy with totally normal levels of appreciation for men being chained up. totally.

[p4nishers]

[itsmxbee]

When Stede closed the curtains, I blacked out.

[jurassic-cunt]

the way izzy took lucius' cig and took a drag has taken over. i've been thinking about him nearly constantly

[dogateer]

BEARD STEDE!!!! WE FUCKING WON YALL!!

[snoopyuigi]

IM SORRY ?? ECUSE ME UM DAVID ARE YOU TEYING TO KILL ME.

[nashdoesstuff]

just witnessed the gayest pirates at sea and i’m crying /hj

[suddenrundown]

okay okay okay PLEASE go watch the original teaser trailer again because once you do it is SO clear that "dear ed, i love everything about you, i love being near you, breathing the same air. i think of you often and hope you're thinking of me as well" is spliced together.

"i love everything about you, i love being near you, breathing the same air", which has not been said yet, is whispered. passionately. presumably to ed's face.

While part of me is sad that Ed and Izzy are basically avoiding each other and not adressing what happened, I am very much glad that Izzy is learning to become his own person, and not just Blackbeard's right hand, a tool to keep up Blackbeard's reputation.

He's not following around Ed anymore, he is now interacting with other people, he is part of the crew. He's carving figures, he's actually doing a hobby just for himself, he's more relaxed, he actually smiled, I can't believe it.
