Ed + Stede Moments Per Episode: 1x3 - A Gentleman Pirate

#edstede moments #ofmd #ofmdedit #our flag means death #ed x stede #stede x ed #Stede Bonnet #Rhys Darby #Taika Waititi #captain blackbeard #gif #gifs #gifset #1x1 #we'll see if i can get caught up before the 2nd season drops

[girlbossblackbeard]

what if in the lead up to the reconciliation in s2 we get flashbacks of moments in s1 the audience never got to see, like ed crashing on stede's couch and smiling gently as he listens to stede's soft snoring, or stede blushing profusely as ed lines his body up behind stede's as he corrects his dueling form, or ed AND stede having a soft, intimate moment together, looking into each other's eyes and just appreciating the exciting, insane, incredible person standing before one another as stede finishes tying the little purple bows into ed's beard for the french party. maybe they both steal a quick glance down at each other's lips and the moment suddenly becomes charged but gets immediately broken by Frenchie and Olu interrupting them to let them know they're approaching the french vessel, and ed and stede share one final look before leaving the captain's quarters with an ocean of unspoken potential having been planted. idk I guess that would be nice or whatever. like i even care

Once again, as it so often is with ofmd, it is about violence.

Ed is capable of violence and it makes him feel monstrous. Killing his father was a defining moment in his life, something that became a core memory: The darkest, scariest part of himself, but also one that has protected him and been immensely useful. No matter how much he hurts himself with it, how much it chips away at his soul, he's willing and able to do horrible things. This is the price we pay for violence: When you kill, you die as well.

When he met Stede, a man he thinks is fundamentally incapable of the kind of violence that's slowly destroying Ed, it gave him hope that he, too, could move beyond it. That a life full of comfortable and beautiful things was not only possible but attainable; if Stede can sail the seas with his ridiculous toy ship full of books and soft fabrics, have a positive culture of open communication and constructive feedback, then fuck it, why can't he?

To him, Stede's incapability for violence is a positive thing; it might be Stede's greatest strength. But what Ed doesn't realize is that Stede's life, too has been profoundly shaped by violence, how intimately he is acquainted with it - from the other side. Stede has only ever been a victim of violence. Where the moments that replay in Ed's head (the lovely little motage at the beginning of 02x06 for example) are moments where he enacts violence, the moments that define Stede are ones where violence is done to him. We see him splattered with blood, picking flowers: we know what follows is humiliation, verbal and physical abuse, that Stede was unable to protect himself from.

So of course, to Stede, his lack of talent for violence becomes a character flaw. Something that makes him weak, pathetic, cowardly. When he finally learns how to wield violence, how to use it to protect himself and others, it's empowering. He revels in it, the small moments (I did a punch!) and the bigger ones. For the first time in all his life, he's not a victim anymore.

Ed does not know this about Stede. To him, Stede is fragile, someone not yet tainted by violence the way he is. Ed feels protective of Stede, and it's that perceived innocence that I think is a big part of it. All he sees is Stede descending down a path of violence and piracy he has walked already and cannot go down again; the last time he did, it literally made him suicidal. He can't follow, and he can't watch Stede destroy himself the way Ed did, either.

So he leaves.

And Stede, who feels like he has finally grown into a better, more capable version of himself, someone who is able to see hurt and fight back against it for once, doesn't understand this at all.

Both these viewpoints are ones that ofmd wants to validate: Violence is a terrible beast that will eat you whole and spit out your bones AND Violence is sometimes necessary, and even good. It's a delicate balance to keep, and 02x07 doesn't quite manage to do so. But despite the awkwardness, the bones are still there; we end on Roach and Fang (two characters very capable of and good at violence!) having their cute little self-care spa day. This is the future ofmd wants us to believe in: a world where we can chose care and tenderness over battles.

#will our boys ever talk to each other. all signs point to no #and see im not worried about their relationship #im not worried about what story we are told here #im worried about how it will be told #but i guess we'll have to wait and see #our flag means death #ofmd s2 spoilers #blackbonnet #thoughts #not too happy with this but its as good as its gonna get

Remember folks! A husband made lovingly by queer hands will love you far more than a character designed by a multibillion dollar company!

Personally, i love when people give Izzy more tattoos than he has in canon bc it's always fun to see. But Actually it fits his character so well that he only has a few small ones. He's sentimental. It makes sense that his most prominent tattoo is the Swallow on his neck to represent 5,000 nautical miles, a little x that we for the most part associate with Ed as there is no one definition to an x tattoo, a spade on one hand that has been historically used to represent good luck (i think this might represent the fact that Izzy is, as Ed puts it, an "indestructible little fucker") and, quite possibly, a heart tattoo on his other hand that he keeps hidden.

All of these are sentimental to him, they mean something, Ed gets tattoos willy nilly and for silly reason, such as the spider tattoos, but Izzy doesn't. To him it has to really mean something. And it's just... the little details of his character that make me realize just how much love has gone into his character.

Reading the summary of Marriage Toxin: huh ok a shonen jump manga where the main character's sister being a lesbian is foundational to the plot since their family is forcing at least one of the siblings to have kids and neither wants them. Intriguing...

Reading chapter 1: sure being a weirdo assassin who's convinced they're a terrible person would put a damper on finding a partner but honestly everything this MC is saying about romance just comes off as him being aroace, or gay, or SOMETHING not straight. But it's sooooooo obvious he's gonna end up with the marriage arranger girl. I mean he already proposed to her twice so these vibes will probably be disappointingly unintentional and abandoned :(

Reading the last page of chapter 1:

DAMN OK IT MIGHT BE INTENTIONAL. MY EXPECTATIONS HAVE BEEN BROKEN I'M INTRIGUED LET'S SEE WHERE THIS GOES

#CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE GET A SECOND INTRINSICALLY QUEER SHONEN JUMP MANGA???? #If nothing else we'll see how major a character the sister is #Blue Flag was high lit this can be trash give me queer versions of all the standards give me weird queer trash too #now time to see if this post ages like fine wine or stinky cheese! #mineminemine #marriage toxin

I am so heartbroken that both Good Omens and Our Flag Means Death had their 2nd season release during the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Think of all the behind the scenes infos and interviews we will never get.

Plus I fear for Michael Sheen and Rhys Darby among others, I think they will explode soon from having to hold all the love and pride they have for their projects in..

Hollywood, get your shit together and pay your workers what they deserve!!!

#our flag means death #good omens #rhys darby #michael sheen #i miss the sheennant banter #all the husband vibes we'll never get to see... #😭💔

Your baby Jason is the cutest thing ever, his cape is so long, how could the Joker ever kill something so adorable?

Tbf he's small enough that the joker probably would just accidentally step on him and that would be that

#ask #anon #hes too small #he needs one of those flag back packs so people can see where he is #also getting a bunch of asks like we need to see baby [batkids name here] and i demand to see baby [batkids name here] asks #which yeah unfortunately not how this works #sorry friends #i was drawing baby jason so i posted baby Jason #i might do one of those send me something on kofi and a bat and ill do a wee baby doodle #but ill have to see how tired i am first #dont want promise to do something if im not feeling up to doing it ya get me #but for now we'll see

Going through the Our Flag Means Death tag is a trip.

A good third of the posts are a detailed analysis of why Izzy's death was narratively good and meaningful and not 'bury your gays,' while another third are about how Izzy's death was pointless and cruel and a betrayal and absolutely 'bury your gays/disabled people.'

#ofmd season 2 #ofmd spoilers #ofmd #our flag means death #both arguments make good points #i liked izzy and loved his growth and was sad when he died #but i don't think it was a bury your gays moment nor do i think it was narratively pointless #i also don't think we've seen the last of him #either he's not actually dead #or he's coming back either as a ghost or gets resurrected #as much as i love the idea of ghost #the show hasn't really done supernatural as reality yet #have weird things happened? yes #are they actually magic/supernatural? ...maybe? #we'll see

What is a Monday? A miserable little pile of obligations.

semester turnover restructure

generate/send out error reporting

figure out how to separate out unique counts

create polite reply to Massive Dick Move email

finish the bad book >:(

bò kho (not an obligation. dinner)

laundry

lizard bath

#yapping tag #I spent my weekend trying to sleep and now all my chores are due today and I wanna complain. grump grump grump whine. #the semester turnover restructure actually is a pet project so that part I like! I wish I could take my time with it though #the error reporting is. well it's easy to generate (it's actually running now) and it's tedious but uncomplicated to send out #but then I'm going to spend the rest of the day getting passive-aggressive responses from everybody #in a just world my coworkers would respond to careful itemized lists of all their fuckups with 'thank you Alexis you're so helpful #we really appreciate you flagging our mistakes two weeks before the system final-saves them forever into stone. have a cookie!' #but alas #if I'd been any less stressed and frantic when I first established the error reporting I'd have set up a separate address to send them from #write up some template emails and let the reporting all come out of the mythical 'automatic system thing' #--every 'automatic system thing' in our college is me or IT on my behalf. even the people who hired me for this don't seem to realize #if only I'd known from the beginning that nobody would ever connect me and my systems! I'd be exploiting the shit out of it-- #the unique counts is going to be a headache. no idea how I'm going to structure the coding for it. might be fun to invent? we'll see #the Massive Dick Move email response also will be an invention. 'hello Mr Massive Dick I am karma here to smite you' but polite #the bad book >:( I don't want to read any more of but the deal I made with my friend is he sends me free books and I report back #we did not discuss a special 'get out of book free' card for when the main character is a godawful shit sibling. (should've done though) #beef stew is good! mostly it's on the list so I don't forget to set the timers #laundry and lizard bath can wait until tomorrow if they must but they shouldn't wait any longer than that. lizard and I will get stinky

My friends think I'm seriously looking for someone to date but what they don't understand is. I'm not looking to date. I'm looking for friends who I can be more comfortable with. I'm looking for something or someone where I can talk to them and I'm given a little bit of pampering. I'm looking for something where I don't have to have at least a small mask on 24/7

I don't want a boyfriend. I want a person who supports me, who I can support and someone who won't have the kind of pulling down that has a huge chance of happening in hostelite girls

#I envy how everyone in the boys hostel has each other's backs #I want something like that a friend I can depend on no matter what #I want someone who'd say - let's get burgers randomly and I won't hesitate to go. Someone who'd be up to just go for a walk in a park #And not have to go to a fancy cafe after #:// #I love my friends but sometimes I feel like I get too attached to one group and I don't see when the flags get red #Though I've had great experiences with my current friends we've been through a lot together and we've had each other's backs #But we'll #Sometimes you just want something different yk? #Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm the one who feels I've to be proper all the time #I can't physically get comfortable with people it's so hard to trust and I usually can't do casual physical touch much #I hated hugs till I got into college but at least now I don't mind them much #bak bak meri
