#they’ve got a ‘trespassers will be prosecuted’ sign thats been painted over to just say ‘tres cute’

one thing i think a lot of us including me are failing to sufficiently consider in our modern aus is that stede likes to break the law. as a lifestyle and hobby. like its not really a significant dimension of his arc since within the context of piracy crime is just normal but he did leave his wife and kids for a life of crime twice and he did get so excited conspiring with ed to not pay a restaurant bill that for a second his voice nearly ascended to a register that only other dogs could hear. i think stede would steal a horse off a carousel with the pole still through it and everything and then schlep it all the way up to their bedroom to surprise ed for his birthday. and ed would be genuinely touched to the point of happy tears

#ed uses it for an arts and crafts project obviously #as he does with all of the stolen property stede brings home #they’ve got a ‘trespassers will be prosecuted’ sign thats been painted over to just say ‘tres cute’ #hole cut through the middle so it functions as a picture frame for a photo of the two of them that is indeed tres cute
