#you can pry autistic izzy away from my cold dead hands

[arsenicflame]

stede is 'oh this place has something related to my interest i must go in immediately' autistic and izzy is 'if we deviate one inch from my plan for today i will murder someone' autistic

#stede wandering off into the forest to look at bugs was not on the schedule or any of izzys contingency schedules #new thing i think would fix izzy: a clear fucking plan #in the nebulous reunion timeline future i see izzy researching every port town they are gonna stop in HARD so he can figure out everywhere #stede + ed might possibly want to go and plan several routes for the day to keep himself calm in the inevitable chaos #(and yet somehow every time stede finds something he missed and they still go off script anyway) #(he tries to go separately around port from them one time and its a fucking disaster; someone gets stabbed; so he just resigns himself to #incredibly stressful port stops) #its not like stede + ed mean to do it!! theyre both awful for it individually and they just feed off each other #its ok because theyre very good at letting izzy have the deck Exactly how he wants it and scheduling as much big picture stuff as they can #with him #(when stede realises theyve been the cause of like. 65% of izzys stress they finally agree to let him redo the rigging as an apology and #they suddenly realise watching him buy the supplies that hes just as bad as them in his own way) #(he absolutely terrorizes the rope guy but they have never seen him so relaxed as when he was up there redoing all the lines) #nyxtalks #ofmd #izzy hands #israel hands #stede bonnet #you can pry autistic izzy away from my cold dead hands

For the character ask thing- Stede, of course :)

hell yes okay this took me a while i have a LOT of thoughts abt this guy

favorite thing about them

WHERE DO I START

he’s a total bitch and he’s the softest lil guy in the world, he picked flowers and wanted to marry for love, he’s gnc as fuck and is absolutely nutter butters, he feels a lot and very deeply and doesn’t know what any of the things he’s feeling are

he’s just like me fr

least favorite thing about them

total lack of consideration for other people as people!! even when he attempts to operate in service of other people, he bases his actions on assumptions rather than evidence, and ends up hurting people instead. the type of self-absorbed you can only be when you hate yourself.

favorite line

hi all!!

changed my fucking vocabulary

also “oh my god, i’m not a pirate, i’m an idiot!”

brotp

the stede & lucius & olu friendship trio is lovely

also i REALLY love the idea of mary & stede as friends and coparents (really only works in fan works, i don’t expect or anticipate it in canon)

otp

YOU ALREADY KNOWWWWW

blackbonnet, gentlebeard, ed/stede

notp

i’m gonna be real with y’all i don’t vibe with stede/ed/izzy or stede/izzy

random headcanon

i meannn you can pry autistic stede headcanon from my cold dead hands i will say that

unpopular opinion

i’m tired of posts talking about how stede sucks. we know. it’s literally the plot of the first four episodes! (arguably the entire show is stede is so bad at this and also occupying a space he doesn’t understand how to actually navigate bc he’s thrust himself into this world that was created because of people like him (societally, not specifically)) so idk i guess it’s just like ‘yes we know all of this and you spent hundreds of words talking abt it??? okay i guess’

song i associate with them

runaway goliath by mantaraybryn

'Cause you just wanna run away

While I’ll just stay and fight

Can you just be more brave

To fall from such a height

favorite picture of them

okay so i have had this image saved on my phone for a few months and i forget where i saved it from

however, reverse image search places it to a t-shirt design by @/general.caronobi on tiktok/insta

if that’s not the original credit somebody pls tell me

[ID: a three wolf moon style image with three stede faces: french party look, excited smile when the crew backs him in front of the firing squad, and when jackie holds a knife to his nose]
