I started painting this months ago, got frustrated with Stede's hair, and then felt defeated after the cancellation. But I'm glad I picked it back up and finished it. This love is written on me in permanent ink. 🌈

Photographers all know about polarizing filters. They remove reflections off the surfaces of objects. We use them to see into water or windows that are obscured by those reflections. But anything with an even slightly glossy surface has a layer of reflection on top. So if you have a shiny green plant, it can remove the shiny and reveal a very saturated green underneath. Polarizers also remove a lot of scattered and reflected light from the sky. Which reveals a deep blue color you didn't even know was there.

Here is a photo I took of my circular polarizer.

And the first thing I noticed when walking outside during the eclipse was the color of everything was more saturated, just like in that circle. Apparently, an eclipse significantly reduces polarized light and I got this creepy feeling because I was only ever used to seeing the world like that through the viewfinder of my camera.

The other thing I noticed was my outdoor lights. I leave them on all the time because I never remember to turn them on at night. And usually the sun will render them barely visible during the day. On a very sunny day they almost look like they are off.

But you can clearly see they are shining and even flaring the camera during the eclipse.

Our eyes adjust to lighting changes very well so it was hard to tell how much dimmer things were, but that is a good indication. I took this photo a few minutes ago and you can see how dim the lights appear after the moon has fucked off.

I did a calculation using the exposure settings between these two photos. The non-eclipse photo has 7 f-stops more light. That is 128 times or 12,700% more light.

A partial Pringle eclipse cut the sun's light by 99.2% and somehow our eyes adjusted to make it seem like a normal sunny day (with weird ass saturated colors).

ed & stede: walking to the train from a concert venue and yes this takes place in new york

ed: fuck

stede: what?

ed: i wish we had brought a joint

stede: oh. damn

ed: you don’t have — do you?

stede: let me check

stede: wait

ed:

stede, holding up his hand with forefinger and thumb pressed together: aha!

ed: you got a lighter?

stede, digging in his pocket: yeah just… here!

ed: light it

stede, flicking the air: shit, i can never do this. here

ed, taking the “lighter” and “joint” from stede: don’t wanna hurt your thumb

stede: i don’t want any, anyway

ed:

stede:

ed: you don’t want any?

stede: nope :)

ed: of the imaginary joint?

stede: oh, ed, you’re no fun

ed, flicking his thumb and then taking a deep inhale: fine. *cough* more for me *cough cough cough*

stede: ed, be careful!

ed, still coughing: don’t wanna waste it

stede: you’re

ed, coughing for real now, bent over and bracing himself on his knees:

stede: do you need your inhaler?

ed, coughing:

stede, pulling his Funky Floral 32oz Owala Freesip from his bag: or some water?

ed, finally catching his breath: that’s actually some really good shit

stede: oh yeah?

ed, holding out his fingers: you want?

stede, about to fake cough so hard he throws up: yeah. give it here.

i mean. look at Ed's face tho. i was watching this ep tonight and i paused at this moment and istfg. his expression is so fucking haunting; his smile is so profoundly sad. there's no life there. he's already given himself up for dead. this is the face of a broken, broken man. only a shell remains 💔

he's already in the gravy basket.

i made a meme that was supposed to be funny but ended up making me feel really sad lol 🥲

Stede immediately saying that he likes the length of Ed’s beard, after one of their last conversations being about how Ed can’t be Blackbeard without a black beard…

Poor baby has internalized everything. He’s repeated everything he said wrong in his head for months. He’s rehearsed everything he wanted to say to Ed, to assure him of his love.

It’s such a great reminder that Stede never declared his love. He never gave Ed assurance of his feelings, and then he ran off and seemed to confirm that what he didn’t feel the same. And Stede’s so determined that Ed is gonna know how much he loves him.

Ed heard the word 'boyfriend' come out of Stede's mouth, got into over the top flirting mode, realized it happened in front of everyone and got so flustered he started talking about cats. The man is fighting for his life

Ed was so sad during the Kraken era because he didn’t have anyone to stream of consciousness talk about kittens to and he was going crazy having to be serious all the time
