This isn't related directly to the current Discourse (TM) about Iggy Fingers and racism, but I'd like to point out that the two most thematically important people in Ed's life are Mama Teach and Stede. And there is a lot to be said about how indigenous women are treated (i.e. discarded) in various narratives, but there is something to be said about how Mama Teach influences and permeates the narrative despite having so little screen time. Ed's actions as a young boy, spurred by his desperate need to protect himself and his mama from his abusive father, are corrosive and defining moment of his entire childhood. He literally carries a piece of his mama (the red silk) close to his heart. We spend so little time with Mama Teach, but she's also kind of...always there, she's been there since the very first time we meet Ed (he's had the red silk the entire time, let's not forget).

One of the big reasons all this "Ed is abusive/Ed has anger issues/Ed is just like his dad!!!" stuff confuses and pisses me off so damn much is because like. Back in June of 2022, soon after I finished bingeing all of Season 1, I saw a lot of completely serious takes equating Ed's behavior towards Iggy as equivalent to Ed's dad abusing his mother. And those takes made me uncomfortable and baffled, but, you know, didn't want to start shit so I just blocked and moved on. But those takes have stuck with me all this time, not just because they are so blatantly wrong and very anti-canon but also because they kind of miss a fundamental aspect of Edward Teach that the show clearly wants us to notice. And you know, I made a post about this before, but I'm going to say it again.

During this scene that is being played for comedy (because, you know, it's a romantic comedy) where Ed is essentially recreating a family unit that is familiar to him, there are likely intentional parallels between this recreated family unit (father, son, mother) and the family unit he grew up in. But in this recreated family unit, Ed is taking on the role of his mama. We even have a (comical, but again I'm sure they did this on purpose) rehash of what we see in that Season 1 flashback, violence breaking out during a meal! Yeah, sure, this is being played for laughs but I really can't imagine the writers would make such strong parallels completely by accident and not intend this to mean something. Also, I have watched a lot of shows that have very serious scenes being played for laughs because the comedy aspect is meant to off-set what would otherwise be deeply uncomfortable and a jarring shift in tone. Ed's suicidal spiral at the start of Season 2 also does this, blending comedy with drama. I actually think it's a keystone of how Ed is written and in general how this show approaches these serious topics while maintaining tone. The "snail fork" scene being the perfect example. The racist French captain calling Ed what amounts to/is clearly meant to be read by the audience as a racial slur and Ed (understandably!!) getting very angry and having the guy skinned with a snail fork in what is meant to be both serious and a comedy beat in context.

Idk guys. Maybe let's stop focusing on Iggy Fingers for a hot second and think about how Ed's love for his mama is so strong and beautiful and eternal and in many ways the show seems to want us to draw parallels between Ed and his mother? Like. You can argue about how "people who are abused abuse people" and shit like that, but OFMD doesn't seem interested in turning abuse victims into abusers. It seems more interested in exploring how abuse victims (like Ed and Stede, for example) can easily fall back into the pattern of seeking out abusive relationships and/or validation from people who remind them of their abusers. Yeah, obviously abuse victims can abuse people, but they can also be trapped in a cycle of victimhood because they seek comfort in relationships that recreate this abusive dynamic.

And I'd just like to point this out: Stede also had an abusive dad who treated him like shit. And he was physically and emotionally bullied for a great deal of his life!! But the worst thing we ever see Stede do is neglect his wife and kids, which is bad but he never like. Treats them the way his dad treated him. And Stede isn't perfect especially at the start of the show, he has some racist tendencies to unlearn and some realizations he needs to make, but even when he's putting himself in the role of patriarch on The Revenge he never abuses any members of his crew, even though he is literally part of a culture where stuff like that is normalized. For all of Stede's faults, he genuinely doesn't want his crew to experience what he did as a child (an angry emotionally and physically abusive patriarch, constant bullying from his peers, etc.). And you know, if we can accept that Stede grew up with an abusive dad and actively chose to never recreate that abusive dynamic even in an environment where such actions are encouraged, I think we can also make the very easy realization that we are not meant to read Ed as an abuser/future abuser who takes after his dad. Because a big part of this show is that neither of these men take after their shitty dads.

Anywayyy go listen to "Suffocation" by Against Me!, a song that I feel encapsulates Ed and Stede so well. And while you're listening to that, I'd also recommend "Delicate, Petite, & Other Things I'll Never Be", which is an Edward Teach song if I've ever heard one. Peace and love on Planet Earth.

THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK

I've been seeing a lot of posts about the topic of doubles or asking friends to not interact with doubles and I wanted to share how I feel

You're not and you'll never be selfish for setting boundaries and prioritizing your comfort in your own space. It's okay to ask friends not to interact with doubles if it helps you feel safe. Your boundaries are valid, and people should respect them. It’s not wrong to prioritize your own mental health, and I believe that should be respected by friends or discussed together if you're comfortable with having a tag to block.

Setting boundaries doesn’t make you mean, selfish or unreasonable, you're allowed to ask people to respect your boundaries, you deserve to feel comfortable in your own space online.

The block button should be prioritized more, and Tumblr needs to fix its problem with being able to see users you've blocked in reblogs

[carry-on-my-wayward-butt]

this is a pretty hot take and i know ill get a lot of shit for it but i think it still needs to be said: bomb pops/firecrackers/whatever your niche regional name is for the red white and blue ones are the literal best popsicle and it isn’t even remotely close

[shotmrmiller]

i'm delirious all i can bloody think about is Simon fucking you in what i found is called military style. Kinda on the nose but i digress.

The moment he's got you upside down, you know you're about to get demolished. He fixes his stance until he feels his foundation's solid, then he holds your legs wide apart with a firm grip on your ankles, stuffs himself back into your swollen pussy and fucks.

The angle is so deep he has your cunt making obscene squelching noises. His fat cock drags against your front wall and you can see him inside you with a prominent bulge in your lower tummy- and you know he can see it too because he puts his hand flat on where his tip meets your womb, and for a little extra sensation, he pushes down.

it's brutal really, the way your orgasm is ripped from you, and it's even worse that you're now being covered in your own climax liquid, and Simon is completely undeterred in the pursuit of his own.

You've never been religious but you can't help but mentally reach out to something in orison to help you survive this because Simon's always had incredible stamina, and with the way his breathing is relatively even, yeah, he isn't even close to being done with you just yet.

The forehead poke isn't an act of love

As much as it's appealing to consider it an act of love, the forehead poke isn't one. it's an act of keeping distance that Itachi used with Sasuke, and finally when Sasuke discovered the truth and Itachi made peace with it, He didn't poke him, he finally put his forehead against Sasuke's saying that he loves him Always no matter what.

Sasuke is basically keeping his "family" at distance.

WHY ARE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT THE HARRY POTTER TV SHOW REBOOT AS IF THEYRE GONNA WATCH IT????? LIKE???? HELLO???? let’s not forget that engaging with it in any way means more money towards jkr, and for a fandom like the marauders that preaches so much about how inclusive and diverse they are (ESPECIALLY when it comes to trans people) the fact people are talking about this show and who they want cast + shit is INSANE.

ALSO!!!! WHY WOULD WE WANT A SHITTY REBOOT OF THE MARAUDERS ANYWAY???? idk about you guys but i’m perfectly happy with the little/big world we have created as a fandom through fanfiction, artwork, short films, etc. and ik for a fact that a tv show/movie about the marauders will NEVA live up to what we already have.
