When Pete is telling stories about working for Blackbeard in S1 E2, "A Damned Man," Stede Bonnet is the only one who believes him. Stede asks, if Blackbeard's head is made of smoke, do his eyes float?
Pete replies, No, they're just normal eyes.
And that's how you know Pete never worked for Blackbeard: no one who has spent time around Edward "Invented Eyes" Teach could describe these expressive and soulful eyes as normal.

THEY EDIT FINE THINGS WELL: OFMD MOONLIGHT SCENES (S1 E5 & S2 E5) COMPARISON
Both scenes, with audio, play simultaneously. There is interplay with the timing of dialog and music symmetry (Gnossienne No. 5), until about 0:26, where the music falls out of synch for a few seconds (but still sounds lovely). The S1 E5 scene ends with Stede and Ed walking away from each other while S2 E5 scene ends with Ed and Stede together. Love that.

Watching: S1E5
The moonlight scene is currently playing, which is one of my favorite parts of the first season. And I'm very melancholic and a little sad right now. 😭

He really does go through an evolution, doesn't he?
Responds with a tone-deaf quip.
Uses inside knowledge of the aggressors' weaknesses to get them to set themselves on fire.
Defends Ed's honor as he understands it without clocking Ed's changed reaction to such a slight or listening to Ed's request to not do this.
Uses Ed's honor as an excuse to pick a fight that he was already misguidedly gunning for on behalf of his own butthurt feelings.
The S1e5 party ship is the peak of Stede's skill in defending Ed's honor so far. And even then, Stede was sowing his chaos almost as much on his own behalf as he was on Ed's. (Not that I dislike that; I feel it adds spice, honestly.)
I want to see Stede regain that peak and maybe even surpass it.
They're gonna have to talk some things through, though.
Stede + defending Ed's honor

isn't it interesting how the episode we know went through extensive rewrites was not the episode with the most violence but the one that was supposed to have high sexual tension between the leads (two middle-aged gay men), a gay wedding, and outright confirmation of the polycule

For a sweet little goldfish, who doesn't have to stop wearing twirly outfits and grow a beard, his boyfriend is smitten with him as he is:
"When we grow up, will I be pretty? Will you be big and strong? Will I wear dresses that show off my knees? Will you wear trousers twice as long? Well, I don't care if I'm pretty at all. And I don't care if you never get tall. I like what I look like, and you're nice small. We don't have to change at all. ...
When I grow up, I'm gonna be happy and do what I like to do, Like making noise and making faces and making friends like you. And when we grow up, do you think we'll see That I'm still like you and you're still like me? I might be pretty; you might grow tall. But we don't have to change at all."

This is so sweet but also I think it's very funny that Stede's just catching up to the meaning of the romantic gestures they shared in the past, since they all went over his head at the time.
Can't wait for him to find out what the stabbing thing meant for Ed.
No because when Stede said "You wear fine things well" to Ed the first time, he just said it like all the other nice things he has said to Ed, and I don't think he fully knew how much it meant to Ed UNTIL Ed said it back to him when they were in the same place and he realized how much that one line stuck with Ed all this time and I'm not losing my mind you are

What if Ed really had kissed Stede under the moonlight in s1e5?
This fic contains embedded NSFW gifs!

11 and 16 for the fandom ask game!💛✨
11. if you're a writer or artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?
I'm incredibly proud of Hungry for love, ready to drown - the work that I put into it both in the watching and rewatching, and in the writing.
16. a tiny detail in canon that you want more people to appreciate
speaking of that, all of Rhys Darby's amazing acting choices while not the focus of a scene, but in particular his whole face journey while Ed is dealing with the racist French captain. there's so much emotional depth in such a small thing.

@ourfag your tags. goddam.
I rewatched s1e5 last night, and the warning Ed's mama gives him as a child will always hit me right where it hurts, I think. It's so painfully realistic.
Every little brown kid out there has had this talk. The particulars are different, but the fundamentals are the same. You are going to have to move through the world differently than other kids, and it's not fair and it's not right, but it is how the world works, and if you try to rebel against it too much, you're going to wind up dead or worse.
Ed's mama, I think, was especially well-equipped to give Ed this talk in a way that she thought would keep him safe. She clearly works in service; she knows first hand how rich White folks will treat you if you're not only brown but also very poor. And I can't help but think that she probably knows the talk she needs to give Ed is especially important because she knows her son, she knows he's clever and ambitious and so fucking smart, she has to know just as well as him that he could run circles around the rich white boys he sees with their private tutors and futures laid out for them, if he only had half a chance. But he's not going to get that chance, she thinks, and she knows the first question out of this kid's mouth is going to be "why not?"
And the really interesting thing, I think, is that she's broken the rules when she gives him this talk. She's taken a little piece of finery home from the estate, and she's going to let Ed keep it. She's got to know full and damn well that even this little scrap of silk, this tiny thing that she's probably chosen because it won't be missed, could cost her her job if anyone found out about it. But she brought it home to Ed, and even as she tells him that he can't have things like this, she gives him this little piece of finery to keep, because if she's already taken it for him, maybe he won't be tempted to reach for more on his own. Maybe this will keep him safe.
The thing about this talk is it's absolutely necessary and it's always going to be internalized in a way that hurts. This talk is when your parents sit you down at home, and they tell you these horrible things straight-up in a place where you're safe, but the thing is they're going to have to be a bit harsh about it because you're a kid, and you need to get the point because you're not old enough for subtlety but you're old enough that a mistake could get you killed. So she tells Ed that he's not the kind of person who gets nice things, and he never will be, because if he tries to reach further than his lot, he's never going to be safe.
And that's how we get Ed, in his late forties and richer than you can shake a stick at, and he's still absolutely convinced that he cannot have nice things. He's still hiding that piece of silk in his jacket and tucking it away in a panic whenever he thinks anyone sees it. He blames himself for not being able to handle the party, not the boat full of racist assholes, because he's thinking he should've known better when he's had never will be bouncing around in his head since he was a baby. Is it any wonder that when someone tucks that silk into his pocket all nice, and tells him he's actually very sophisticated, like Ed finally has permission to have these things, that it turns his entire world upside down?

One of my very favorite things about OFMD is how both Ed and Stede are allowed to be gender-nonconforming men in their own ways.
So often, queer relationships will look like a very simplistic "one of them is the boy and the other is the girl in the relationship!" and OFMD avoids that trope so, so very wonderfully. Both Ed and Stede are allowed to have their own unique relationships with masculinity and their expression of their masculinity, it makes them feel so real.
Stede is one of those guys who just cannot pass as stereotypically masculine. No matter what he wears, he is a gender-nonconforming man by virtue of how he talks, acts, gestures, and generally his entire bearing. Rhys Darby plays him with so much sympathy and care that he avoids becoming a stereotype of a femme gay man, but he still is a flamboyant gay man who takes a lot of joy in stereotypically "feminine" things. The man's a queen. He still takes a lot of joy in being seen as a "man's man," though, and some of that's trauma and some of it's just that he likes it when others perceive him as masculine in a way that feels so true to me as another queen.
And Ed's whole thing is how horribly stifled he feels by the need to conform to a hyper-masculine standard, and he wants to be able to indulge in softer things. He's the one who imagines himself in a pretty wedding dress, and the show never takes this as making him "less" of a man. The closest relationships we see him have, outside of Stede, are with women. Ed doesn't like being seen as a hyper-masculine ideal, but the best way to describe his relationship with masculinity, I think, is the image of those pretty purple bows in his beard in s1e5.
Both Ed and Stede have such realistic relationships with their queerness and their masculinity, and both of them have different ways that they embrace different facets of those parts of their identities. Stede has a much more flamboyant manner, he's gnc no matter what he does, and he loves being recognized as a man alongside that. Ed is more understated, and enjoys bringing in more traditionally feminine elements to blend with his masculinity - he'll paint himself in a wedding dress, but he wants his beard, too.
It's just such a wonderful celebration of queer masculinity in a way we so rarely get to see. I love it.
