it also caught me so off guard in episode 1 in particular that the crew clearly knew how much izzy was doing to protect them from ed?? no one's saying it out loud because it won't help but the hug, and the whole scene surrounding it, says they've all quietly been paying attention and worrying about him behind his back and it was a culmination of weeks and months of living like they were while knowing that izzy was bending over backwards to absorb as much of ed's rage and heartbreak and anger as possible in order to shield the rest of them??? help??
the reason i trust the ofmd crew with my life is that during the past year and a half multiple ofmd fanartists have come up with all these really really cool emo makeovers for jim and frenchie in s2
but then. somehow. despite how fucking epic all those fan designs looked.
none of them came even CLOSE to how incredibly fucking badass their season 2 looks actually are in canon
I used to hate Izzy, like why couldn't the guy understand and fuck off and let those two gay pirates love each other. now I understand, I love and worship him, and I hope he'll find someone able to love him the way he deserves<33333 *aggressively elbowing frenchie*
