All the crew needed to be ok again was a shared art project to help the injured local cat they recently adopted.

The cat in question.

Of course we'll go on a couple of ship raids! But first: a spa day ✨

Very funny to me how Stede faked his own death and then just.. continues to use his real name?

Ahh yes, Stede Bonnet the Gentleman Pirate, no relation to the other, recently deceased, Stede Bonnet, rumoured to have run away to become a pirate.

So people have already talked about how Stede’s “what does it feel like to be in love” montage doesn’t include one of the most explicitly romantic moments of the series, the moonlight scene. But you know what else is not in there? Anything from episode 9. Not just, y’know, their actual kiss, but all those moments that to us read as grand romantic gestures. Ed signing the Act of Grace. Ed confessing to the murder of some dude he’s never heard of in the hope of sparing Stede. The wedding veil blindfold moment. Ed stepping in front of a literal firing squad to protect Stede.

I do not think that Stede has parsed at all that Ed did all those things out of love. To us the answer to his question on the beach--“How are you taking this so well?”--is obvious: because Ed has been wanting to drop the Blackbeard persona for years, yes, but also because I’m with you. But I think the whole thing is so tangled up with guilt for Stede that he can’t even begin to think of it that way, even by the end of episode 10. It’s still something he did to Ed, dragging him into Stede’s own mess with the Badmintons, costing Ed his freedom, his reputation, even his beard! He agrees with Chauncey that he’s brought history’s greatest pirate to ruin. That’s why he leaves! And even after he’s figured out, oh, I’m in love with Ed, I still don’t think it’s hit him that Ed did all those things because Ed is in love with him.

More of these old face studies of Stede & Ed I did back when s1 came out and never posted over here.

part of me understands why they cut the boyfriend line. imagine if we heard “i love you. i love you” “i know. i know that” AND “i mean i just got back together with my boyfriend” in the same episode. we all would have fucking expired. like there would be no fan base left after that. they did it to save us i think
