Ed/Izzy/Stede

Ah. Them.

Do I ship it- no. I actually hate it. However I'm sort of ok with it if you add Jack to the equation for some reason, probably because it becomes funny. But we're talking about the four of them so it's gonna be a hard no. I think I'm ok with Ed and Izzy being meta mates but not with them being together.

Why don't I ship it- I truely do not see the appeal. You have to really like Izzy to like this ship tbh. While I've said I'm Stizzy neutral in the past I mean that I like Stizzy content. It's funny to see them fuck. However I do not ship Stizzy and I'm not gonna go through the mental effort to make them make sense. Do I enjoy it when Stede bullies Izzy? Of course. Do I think that could transfer into a hilarious and occasionally hot sexual dynamic? Probably. Do I want to find a way to make it happen without hurting Ed... Sounds like more trouble than it's worth.

As for the Ed/Izzy part of the equation. No that ship is sinking fast. How I see Ed and Izzy is that their relationship is a boat, she already had a gaping fucking hole in the hull, and you've gotta get in the lifeboat girl or you're gonna fucking die. My prediction is Ed is getting in that fucking lifeboat. Whether Izzy decides to get drink and feel sorry for himself while the vessel he's unwilling to abandon fills with water or whether he jumps off is the real question for season 2 and my prediction is that he's too stubborn to let go.

But I think my main problem with it is that Ed and Izzy make each other fucking miserable and Stede and Ed make each other happy and Izzy and Stede make each other angry. There's a perfectly good relationship there and your ruining it by bringing in a third party that brings down the whole vibe. Trying to combine these ships into one ship requires that you somehow reconcile these completely discordant vibes. It's like shipping Doug, Mary and Stede. One of the relationships represents freedom and one of the relationships is like a ball and chain for Ed.

Is it canon?- hell no. While Blackbonnet is the most canon ship to ever sail, Stizzy is staying firmly in the realm of fanfiction and Blackhands... Maybe they fucked maybe they didn't? But if they did they sure didn't do it while Stede was around. The failing marriage vibes are off the charts.

How do I feel about fanon? - holy fuck why is this so fucking popular? Someone sedate me. I hate it here
