If you aren't watching this other Madeliene Sami masterpiece, I have two questions: (1) why?; and (2) who hurt you?

Just waiting for Zazlov to get the Harvey Weinstein treatment. Bring it on, karma, we deserve this.

when hbo max crumbles in a couple years and the rights free up and we finally get a season 3 where we see ed and stede a little older and settled into their domestic life and they get pulled out of it for one last adventure. then they’ll see

The longer I sit with it, the more I find Ed considering Izzy family actually really fitting and poignant. As a queer person, I feel like probably most of us have family like this? Izzy, in season one, violently rejects and sabotages Ed's queer relationship, and Ed's beginning to embrace a not traditionally masculine gender expression. And there's something in Ed's Kraken turn that still reads like a detransition arc to me. At the very least it's a trying to shove himself back into the closet, playing up the parts of himself that Izzy approves off. And it's stifling in the closet, it's killing him, he can only be happy if he comes back out and gets to be his true self and together with his boyfriend.

And Izzy eventually sees that. He starts out rejecting all parts of Ed he doesn't want to see, that don't fit his own headcanon of what Ed is supposed to be, and for a while, even looking at Ed being utterly miserable, he thinks he's doing him a favour! But then he realises, no, this is wrong, this is hurting Ed so badly, and he opens up to it. He starts letting Ed be himself, he begins to accept Ed's boyfriend, he eventually encourages Ed to embrace his own softness, to start over and live his life the way he wants.

And this is, like, an experience I have made with family members. I think this is an experience a lot of us have made: a family member reacting really negatively to our coming outs, trying to turn us "back" into a more acceptable version of ourselves. Sometimes, we lose this family member, because if they can't change their minds and accept us, we just have to eventually cut them from our lives if we want to be free and happy. But sometimes it doesn't go quite as bad, sometimes the family member changes their mind and grows to accept us, and Izzy grew to accept Ed. And even independently of Izzy's own story of overcoming his repression and getting to be loved and soft and accepted while he sings in drag, this story of "a family member who rejected your queerness comes around and learns to love you as your true self" is a very fitting story to tell within a narrative like OFMD.

Not all family members love you unconditionally at all times. Not all family members accept you out of the box. In my experience, coming out to people who have been in your life a long time, who never really knew you closely, but saw you around and assumed they know everything about you, is so much more complicated and conflicted than coming out to friends. Family isn't always happy. It's often complicated. But it's also complicated because you love them! Even when they don't seem to love the real you, even when they hurt you and you'd die for them to see you and your pain and your needs, you still love them. Because love is messy. Because family hurt us, people hurt each other in families, sometimes someone hurts you and then you hurt them back, sometimes a family is toxic, there's so much baggage in families, they're not inherently a safe space of acceptance. But sometimes they can grow into that. Sometimes the love is enough and we can move on from the hurt and be a better family together. Sometimes we can forgive each other. Sometimes we get to hear "hey, there you are, I see you now, and I want you to live in a way that makes you happy". And it seems so important that Ed gets to hear that from his only remaining family.

I now need more than one hand to count the number of lesbians I know who realllllly want to peg Ed.

And I think that is beautiful.

Annnnnd that officially makes the I'm a fisherman now/I'm leaving scene even more tragic.

In that context, Stede would believe that Ed has changed his mind about Stede, and about his entire life; that Ed would rather walk away and change everything about himself than be with - love - Stede ever again. "Last night was a mistake" would become, to Stede, "you are a mistake".

I like to think that after Stede and Ed run off from the seafood stand without paying, but before they get to Jackie’z, they come to an empty part of the path and Ed slows down and grabs Stede by his low-cut shirt and just…pushes him against a tree (like Stede did the night before) and kisses the breath out of him and says, “We’ll go to Jackie’z and get that drink and then we’re going back to the ship, yeah?” And Stede squeaks, “Yes, yeah, OK, yes.”

Because Ed can’t stop thinking about that coconut.

One of my favorite things they did in s2 was how they gave us everything we needed to be able to tag fics where Ed is the sweetest sub to ever sub as 100% canon compliant. He was out there wearing a little kitty collar with a bell, asking his captain to give him the mean voice, and swaying his shoulders cutely to indicate he wanted a kiss and make his collar jingle. Obviously everyone can write whatever dynamics speak to them, but that's all canon. No one can ever take that away from us.

What a bummer that Stede is technically 'dead' in Barbados. No parading around the super-hot leatherdaddy (who calls him 'zaddy' and middle-fingers all rules and mores of acceptable levels of PDA) in a much deserved in-your-face-haters glow-up tour.

Tag yourself, I am:

ED: when flirting with cis-males

STEDE: when flirting with anyone who is not a cis-male. Also, when anyone flirts with me ever, for any reason

- Is that Blackbeard? - Hm? No, uh, I'm Blackbeard (S01E04 - Discomfort In A Married State)

Quick question: Is anyone else exhausted by the massive increase in negativity in fandom these last few weeks?

There are only so many times you can beat on a whimsical zaddy, dread pirate babygirl, or dead unicorn before it becomes tedious at best.

For a show all about love and acceptance, we could use more of it in this fandom.

BDE Stede this. BDE Stede that.

Give me LDE Stede who has an immense drive to rock his boyfriend Ed's world DESPITE his, he believes, less than impressive showing.

Give me (reverse?) size queen Ed who is enthralled by Zaddy's PERFECT size because it throttles THAT spot every. single. time.
