#ed always wears his red ring (which i think ties with his red silk) except for when he gives it to stede

[kingsofgaytham]

i sometimes think about how one of the first things stede did upon waking up and meeting the charming stranger was inviting him into his secret closet and then in the same episode they not only swap clothes but exchange rings too

#please the symbolism is so cute #edpecially seeing that ed doesn't have his rings on after they surrender (are they in a bag? lost forever?) #stede's blue ring is tied to his sea-persona he only wears it as captain bonnet and takes it off when he goes back to mary #ed always wears his red ring (which i think ties with his red silk) except for when he gives it to stede #the red ring is almost a metaphor - for the Edward that struggles inside Blackbeard #it represents his humanity his need for a change and freedom #since he never puts in on bc he's sure stede left him i'm gonna need a scene with them putting on a fine outfit together #that probably wont happen but a girl can dream #and Stede notices the ring and puts it on Ed's finger #anyways the whole rings/sharing a cravat symbolism is fantastic and the costume design team did a phenomenal job #stede bonnet #the gentleman pirate #edward teach #blackbeard #gentlebeard #our flag means death #ofmd #my post
