#That there is no possible WAY Stede would follow that pattern

[saltpepperbeard]

I have to wonder how many times Edward must have been lead on and/or emotionally manipulated to make him give up at the pier. He didn’t try to look for Stede in the woods. He didn’t seem fearful that Stede could have potentially been hurt. He just almost seemed to accept that he had been abandoned, again. That his perfect little dynamic with the perfect and bizarre little man had all been too good to be true, again.

He just sat out there all night, because he knew. He was waiting for that other shoe to drop just as it always did. 

So, how many times must he have been robbed of happiness?

#OFMD #Edward Teach #Revenge Rambles #It kills me man #It absolutely KILLS me #Because he just sort of accepted his fate and that's heartbreaking every time I think about it #He must have sat out there for hours just KNOWING #All the while a little part of him was screaming for it to not be true #That there's no WAY it could be happening again #That there is no possible WAY Stede would follow that pattern #ALSO SOBBING AT THEM ACCIDENTALLY TRIGGERING EACH OTHER'S PAST TRAUMA #ACCIDENTALLY STRIKING RIGHT WHERE IT HURTS #Because Stede left drowning in guilt and thinking he had ruined the love of his life #Thinking he had ruined yet ANOTHER beautiful thing #As everyone had always told him for his entire life #And Ed left thinking Stede was just like the rest #That he only liked him for Blackbeard #And that he dipped like the rest when it became too much #LIKE #L I K E #GOD #HEY DAVID I'M GOING TO NEED YOU TO UHHHHHHH #ABSOLUTELY NOT DO THIS TO ED ANY MORE K THANK YOU SO MUCH HSDKLS </3 #I genuinely hurt for him so so bad #Both of them of course #But Godddd EDWARD #He deserves nice things #Beautiful soft amazing things #I want him to be secure in his happiness #For him to know that he WON'T lose it
