I like vexing your brain because when you are thinking real hard, like when you are playing piano, you are more beautiful than anything in the world. I am sure to be out of here before you find my treasure, but in case I am not, know that it is all yours, and that you are more precious to me than ten thousand treasures put together.

Do you guys fw my WOY Redesigns

Heres some hcs and stuff related to the redesigns

Wander

-10,000+ years old

-His species only looks as old as one feels, so he looks around 19

-Male, but biologically a Simultaneous hermaphrodite 🤓☝️(since not everyone's a massive nerd like me, a simultaneous hermaphrodite is when an organism has both reproductive organs. He just prefers to call himself a guy)

-74 cm in height (although I think that's canon lmao)

-ADHD + ASD + OCD

-Omnisexual /w a preference for men

- When making this design, I wanted him to have a more cowboy-ish look to him, which is why I dropped the trainers

- Literally never self-grooms. He still washes himself but he doesn't cut his fur, that's the maximum length of it before he sheds

-The traumatic event implied in The Wanders was the destruction of his planet due to natural causes. After his home was destroyed, he jumped from planet to planet but eventually had to leave for whatever reason. He soon decided that no one should ever feel the same way as him, which is why he helps.

-At some point in his unstable childhood, he spent a few years on a planet similar to the Wild West from America, which is where he adopted his accent and dialect

-Sh*t eyesight, get this mf some contacts 😭

- Probably should've gotten braces when he was younger

- Physically and vocal stims, his most common/ favs are squeaks, squeals, bouncing up and down on the spot, and straight up shaking (sometimes literally vibrating on the spot)

- Would rather be too cold than too hot

Sylvia

- 25 years old (Zbornaks live to 80)

- Demisexual Bisexual

- 152cm (height-wise)

- I wanted to give her more of a reptilian design, which is why I made her scaly and sharp toothed/clawed

- Braids her hair for the practicality of it being out the way, but the silver rings were Wander's idea

- Would rather be too hot than too cold

-uhm idk

- I love her but idc about her

I think you’re completely correct in Ed being neurodivergent. He uses soft things to stim and self-soothe. I think he has what could be interpreted as sensory processing disorder alongside auadhd. Rather than being sensory avoidant he’s a sensory seeker. I’m just so proud of him that once he’s in an environment safe to do so, he finds ways to use fabrics to soothe. Stede allows him that safety.

Ed & Soft Things (long post)

Just thinking about the years that have passed between these two images, and Ed appearing to remain in a form of childhood stasis and trauma demonstrated through the use of setting and body language.

Ed’s sitting at the left side of a window, knees pulled up. The bed or bench he appears to be on both times has very little in the way of softness or comfort. The second image as an adult is by tortured design, but the first screams childhood poverty and neglect. In the first image also, the chaos is external, but you can see Ed is internalising it, trying to stop the sensory overload, what this display of violence is doing to his child’s soul, by placing his hands over his ears.

By the second image, the childhood trauma is ingrained and a new layer of pain and abandonment is being laid over the top. It’s the inability to process the loss of Stede healthily, a huge part of which is triggered by Izzy’s threats. Ed situates himself back within his childhood pain here. He turns Stede’s Captain’s quarters into a stark reproduction of his childhood home, and turns himself back into that child. Whether he does so knowingly or is in some way reaching after psychological familiarity is open to interpretation.

Something really significant though after Ed meets Stede is his reaching after a robe or blankets to hide under when he is in psychological distress. I don’t feel that is something he did as a child because I don’t think he had the right circumstances, practically or psychologically, to do so. The finding of soft things comforting has always been a part of who Ed is though, which is why he stims secretly with the silk when distressed. What Ed starts to do later is show openly his need for the comfort of soft things when upset, and on a much larger scale. He goes from holding fabric to fabric holding him.

The use of soft coverings is a form of self-soothing and points to the beginnings of healing. Ed has always needed to make himself small when distressed, but the battle-jacket in the bathtub, and the depression robe in the blanket fort, are Ed starting to attempt better self care. It’s as if Stede’s respect for the silk opens a door for Ed to develop this care further. It’s important also that after Stede’s departure, Ed practices that same self care with soft things until Izzy triggers the Kraken spiral.

In Red Flags, we see Ed uncovered with little to no emotional self care in the way of soft things. I take some comfort from the fact, despite lying on the floor, he is at least on a soft rug rather than bare wood. It indicates there’s something still there, some need for comfort, but it’s limited and waning. During the final moments of the mutiny, he lies on bare wood, nothing to comfort him at all.

Which is why the couch scene in Fun and Games is so significant. Imagine this played a different way with Ed curling up in a window position in trauma or lying on the floor, after finding out about Mary. But he doesn’t. Upon Stede’s return (and let’s give some credit to the work Ed tries to do in the Gravy Basket), Ed is already reverting to a healthier way of processing his pain: he’s straight under that blanket.

There’s something else too. In the childhood scene, the ending of season one, and the Red Flags montage, Ed is silent. He’s alone, either physically, emotionally or both. Whilst in the bathtub and in the blanket fort, it’s as if Ed’s on a therapist’s couch. He makes himself safe with soft coverings and tries to show his inner self by talking - because someone is there who cares.

Initially in the couch scene, Ed remains silent. He’s not sure if he’s safe to speak. It’s a liminal moment. But Stede is just so gently patient, Ed soon finds his words. Ed knows Stede’s ethos is talk it through. And look at him go! He can’t stop. Let it all out, Ed!

And that’s kind of how we know Ed has already begun to heal, plus forgive Stede. A huge reason Ed is able to process and move through his feelings quickly is because Stede allows that safe space to do so. Ed can hide under a blanket without feeling mocked. He doesn’t have to pretend he’s something he isn’t. No stoicism needed. Stede is instrumental in the process of Ed being able to heal, and forgive him.

Ed diving under blankets is never a problem. Ed speaking a lot whilst upset is never a problem. It’s when Ed doesn’t do these things, he needs help. When he denies himself physical and emotional comfort, and is mostly silent - cornerstones of toxic masculinity. But it does also show the importance of others. You can’t talk if there’s no one to listen (which is why the ridding of Lucius is partly an act of self harm). Ed is so desperate to talk though, he creates a toxic version of himself in the gravy basket in order to thrash it out.

Ed’s been an island too long. Now he has Stede to share the load. And he will learn how to be there for Stede too. Together they can have soft things, self care, and talk things through.

It’s amazing how quickly Ed feels emotionally supported once Stede returns. And actually how quickly Ed comes out from under that blanket, yet is still emotionally open; processing, listening.

I like also that Ed feels safe enough to ‘tell off’ Stede. And that Stede can argue back safely too. They really do create their own safe-space. Bicker like an old married couple, but it’s nothing like Ed’s parents. Experiencing healthy disagreement has to also be healing for Ed. They love each other and that will always win through in the end.
