ummmm so what if stede incessantly sticking by ed in season 2 leads to further heartbreak and misunderstanding?

because ed is at what he perceives to be the lowest of lows, the most “monstrous” version of his persona. he’s a beast from the depths, an unforgiving thing of legend, the kraken…

and yet stede sticks by that.

stede ran when he was his softest, his most open, his most vulnerable. so in ed’s eyes, how can it be that stede wholeheartedly loves him? how can it be that stede loves the authentic version of himself?

is he not sticking by to gawk at the legend, at his dreaded mask, just like everyone else?

Whoever it is you wish to be. I love YOU' type deal at some point #And he better be like 'I just thought I was ruining you like I ruin everyone else' #HE BETTER BE OPEN BECAUSE THE CHANCE OF FURTHER ISSUE IS VERY VERY HIGH HSDJKLS
