OK so I think we can all agree that more of Stede’s love letters will be found by Ed and they’ll be proudly displayed in the Inn either for those that stay or in their bedroom. I think the bottles they were in will also be used. Ed will fill them with native flowers and put them on all the available surfaces he can. Because those bottles held something beautiful and so should continue holding something beautiful.

OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH (2022— ) Episode 2.07

[edscuntyeyeshadow]

the way some people reacted to David Jenkins and Neil Gaiman saying their shows would only have 3 seasons is so funny because I saw so many feeling devastated while I am so relieved and relaxed about it. don’t get me wrong I love getting more content with the characters I love but… normalize cohesive storytelling. normalize ENDINGS. do you REALLY want another s*pernatural????

This is an incredibly good meta, and there’s only one thing I would nitpick*:

From Ed’s perspective, they take his side. He’s got no one, they chose Izzy.

I would argue that that first clause, “From Ed’s perspective,” is unnecessary. They literally did take Izzy’s side, for some inconceivable reason. Baffling. Ed literally doesn’t have anyone on that ship.

I can kind of understand Jim and Frenchie being angry after Ed left all their friends to die on an island, but Archie? Fang??? Fang knows Izzy sucks; Fang saw how happy Ed was on Stede’s ship, and was all for it.

I get why Ed escalated so much after this.

*Note: I’m not arguing with you; I’m “yes and”ing you! If you don’t agree with the extension I propose here, that’s ok! But please know I’m reblogging your meta because I agree with it and I think it’s good! (I have the flavor of neurodivergence where sometimes I try to contribute to conversations in ways I think are either wholly innocuous or actively pleasant, and people get mad at me anyway for reasons I don’t really understand 😖)

I wonder if Ed thought Izzy was testing him

We all remember Izzy basically saying “Be Blackbeard or I kill you”, right? Catalyst for the original toe thing we’ve litigated this to death. Izzy threatens his life.

So when he suddenly starts saying “can we talk it through?” it’s reasonable that Ed thought this was a litmus test. Was Blackbeard as back as he claimed to be, or were pieces of Stede’s Ed who wanted to throw a talent show still in there? If Izzy found them, would he follow through on his threat.

When Izzy mentions Stede’s name, Ed takes that as proof that Izzy’s seen through him. Knows that deep down he’s still the guy who fantasizes about marrying the love of his life and does arts and crafts with cake toppers.

So he eliminates the threat. Shoots him, appoints a new first mate who he thinks is loyal to him.

“No more booze, no more drugs, no more Izzy” was Ed committing to recovering, similar to episode 10. He was removing the threats to his mental and physical health from his life. Getting rid of Izzy would allow a fresh start.

Then the crew saves Izzy’s life. The man who had never been anything but a dick to them. They band together to keep him alive. From Ed’s perspective, they take his side. He’s got no one, they chose Izzy.

I don’t think “treacherous liar” was some random insult. Ed’s been betrayed again.

Is it any wonder he sails into the storm? He thinks he has no one. He thinks he’s unlovable.

I love you.
