An unpopular opinion:
Most people who are fatphobic have or had eds.
Ed bitches are the harshest and rudest to others in terms of their appearance, even if they don't voice it out.
And that's because they think they are being judged constantly themselves.
The hurt we have inside is transferred onto others, even if we hate the idea.
So, yes, you can hate the idea of being fatphobic.
But ask yourself if that actually equals not being it.
And, yes, I'm calling myself out as well. I hate it. I hate myself for it. I don't voice it. I say the opposite. But most of the time in my mind I am fatphobic as fuck and it disgusts me. But it doesn't stop me from being it still... because I hate myself when I'm fat and I hate fat on anyone, when it looks bad. I don't hate them. I hate the fucking fat. Why? Because it hits me square into my face with a note that "YOU ARE FAT, BITCH."
Does it make this any better? No. I still am a shitty person. But I acknowledge it and try with all my might to calm it the fuck down, because it's TERRIBLE AND UNFAIR towards other people.
Think about it.

Can we take it... slow?
Because I am once again completely normal about a piece of media, here is a visual essay on You Wear Fine Things Well Take 2: Faces and What Those Faces Are Doing (It's Kissing, But Also Emotions)
(I lightened all these screenshots up so the faces are more visible)
Ed is telling Stede his very sweet fishing story. Stede is reacting totally appropriately - gasping, eyes wide, interested and adorable. He's genuinely loving spending this time with Ed, hearing about his day.
He even leans forward to examine the lil fishy. CUTE. He's just so happy to be here, with Ed, talking about their days, spending time together. ("I love being near you.")
Stede tells Ed his abbreviated "cursed suit" story, where Ed delivers the "that wasn't a long story at all" line deadpan with this hilarious face:
(Why is this face so funny? Scientists in the future may know, but alas, this mystery will not be answered within our lifetime.)
Ed then ups the ante - going from that hilarious face to this SCORCHING HOT ONE after uttering the line that ruined the life of everyone on this hellsite
You wear fine things well
Those big brown 'come hither' eyes are HITHERING (it's a word, don't Google it tho)
What I also like about the refrain of "you wear fine things well" - Ed is signaling to Stede that he is ready to take another step. In the last episode, Ed put down a firm boundary - "you don't get to say that to me." Stede, in his adorable, desperate, determined, stubborn yet respectful way, backed off (by delivering an arguably MORE romantic speech but whatever - he respected Ed's boundary and didn't say "I love you"). Ed is pulling from their shared history, from a beautiful moment where they both felt something (although it's arguable as to whether or not in the moment Stede actually knew what he was feeling - he certainly with hindsight was like OOOOOOOOHHH).
So Ed is giving Stede the ok to take a step forward - which he does, while making this face with is the human equivalent of the heart eyes emoji:
Stede then looks away - and he stays in place, letting Ed come to him, making sure it's Ed to initiate. I think Stede wants Ed to be sure, doesn't want to push, since he knows how badly he fucked up and knows how deep Ed's hurt is.
Stede looks back up, but stays in place. Ed is looking at him with such vulnerability...
..as he slowly does his adorable little teenager-about-to-have-their-first-kiss shuffle...
And he leans in for that sweet kiss under the waxing moon.
Initially it's just Ed who is leaning in, but then Stede leans into the kiss as well - and deepens it.
Ed is then like "ok weird for ME to be the one saying this but it's probably healthier if we don't skip straight to banging each other's brains out on the deck of the ship and like, make sure of our feelings first"
After Ed says "We're whim-prone, as you said," Stede goes through a little mini crisis. First, fuck why did I say that:
Then - before Ed can finish what he's saying, Stede's face falls. He's so worried he's messed this up. Ed gave him a kiss and he tried to go too fast, and he's getting rejected again.
He tries to put a brave face on it, but our lil guy is SO SAD
Then once Ed finishes his fish metaphor ("You can't catch a fish unless the fish wants to be caught") Stede realises that Ed isn't rejecting him. I think Ed's vulnerability here and how unsure he is ("we're the fish, I guess. Maybe. I think.") helps Stede to remember hey, this isn't about me and my stuff right now, this is about Ed and Ed's stuff.
Stede gains a little confidence back. He's reassured. Ed is still trying to figure out who he is without Blackbeard, and Stede gets it. And Ed still wants him to be a part of who the new Ed is ("we're the fish"). He's like ok, I got u babe.
So he pulls himself back, but he still wants Ed to feel his affection, and to know that Ed is loved. So he holds Ed's hand and asks for permission.
"What about this? Is this alright?"
"This? Perfect."
Then they have their adorable little hand moment - just happy that they understand one another, happy to be touching, happy to be together.
"You won." Stede whispers.
Ed looks away, beaming:
And, in contrast to the last time they stood on the deck, under the moon, and said "you wear fine things well", this time they walk off together.
FIN.

thinking about "i dreamt that ya killed me" "good for you" with the fucking snarl and then ed saying "it was good for me" it fucking haunts me in my dreams both of them are so insane yet so perfect
the anger and the fear and the obvious sexual tension as well as the fucking way that they say all their lines.. literally everything about it is so unsettling and yet so captivating
like in the first half of that scene izzy doesn't really get what's happening but the second he does he gets that little smile that's so absolutely terrifying and wonderful and it just shows the kind of actors they are. Because wow hearing con/izzy laugh like that while pointing the gun at ed was downright insane but so perfect, and i could go on and on about these two but i'll shut up now
