a girl, her fish, and the boy she kissed

[saltpepperbeard]

the way several characters have told ed and stede to "shut up" in some way, shape, or form. but when they're both talking to each other, they absolutely cling to every single word. they can't get enough of each other's stories, or ramblings, or little recounts of their days.

[garbomode]

i just wanna talk about the parallels between 1x05 and 2x07 for a minute

so both episodes start with them trying each other's thing. Stede learning how to be a real pirate and Ed trying to be a gentleman and make a nice(ish) breakfast.

thennnn we get to the meat of the episode & stede and ed each expect that they'll be the center of attention for the aristocrats and pirates, respectively

but! it ends up being the other way around!

sooo they're just absolutely killing it in front of all these people, having a great fuckin time and fitting in

they get to be a little silly and goofy :)

then, they have a little talk, saying yeah this seems great, but you need to be careful because these people can be unpredictable.

and as soon as they're apart, there's a conflict. i want to say that both conflicts happen bc they don't really understand the group but tbh i have no idea why stede did that

and everything goes to absolute shit

and then everything goes to even more absolute shit. ships on fire.

in 1x05 ofc they go back and have their "you wear fine things well" moment but in 2x07 they're separated and we just have to sit with it :(

bonus you also have frenchie scamming people:

ed not panicking:

and izzy being a little freak:

ED WENT IN FOR ANOTHER KISS AND WE NEVER KNEW

[xray-vex]

hey remember when the OFMD s2 teaser video dropped and there were people who were somehow CONVINCED that Stede was referring to Izzy when he said "I don't care what any of you say, he's actually a good guy" and not, y'know, Ed, whom they were literally just talking about in this scene?

like what the hell was that about

Draw Izzy Hands :3

✨💅sChMoL💅✨

Before you say anything like “ohhh stede should have been Ed or Lucius” yes that occurred to me, but Stede is the king of passive aggression plus I really wanted to draw him in his cursed red suit 🫶

Suddenly, the room goes silent as the front door opens. In walks the single most breathtakingly gorgeous man Stede’s ever seen. Everything about the man is striking; he’s dressed provocatively in a well-worn black leather jacket over dark jeans and boots, and his long, silvery hair is piled into a high bun exposing the bronze expanse of his elegant neck. Stede can see the edges of faint black inkwork peeking out from under the cuffs of his jacket and across the top of his chest, and his short-cropped beard emphasizes an absolutely stunning set of cheekbones. And his eyes, god, his eyes; they’re luminous, as vast and dark as the swath of sky held aloft by the telescope on the hill.

a moment of gratitude for whichever costume designer had the piece of mind to get Stede out of that fuckass wig before “you wear fine things well”

[lavenderprose]

Tbh the true Steddyhands dynamic is Stede's "I can fix him" versus Izzy's "I can make him worse" combining into a secret third thing which turns out to be "With our powers combined, we can make him and each other into the least dysfunctional version of the most dysfunctional relationship dynamic the world's ever seen." Which isn't saying a lot, seeing as Stede and Ed broke up three times in three(?) months and Izzy 'Chihuahua' Hands can't go ten whole minutes without shoving his own foot (toe) in his mouth in spectacular fashion. Would polyamory save them? Unclear. Would it make them so so unfathomably powerful vis a vis the potential to cause great amounts of chaos? Of course. And given they're pirates, this can be used to great effect and is, in the end, likely all Ed's ever wanted. Edward Teach wakes up in the morning and shifts the entropy of the universe by doing so and having two people follow in his wake who are A: Stupid in love with him I am talking just dumb and B: Horny for that kind of thing is just. Well it's not BETTER but it's sustainable.

Hey! If you're an OFMD fan who loved S2, including the finale and posts/ reblogs mostly OFMD stuff, can you give this a like this please? I'm looking for more blogs to follow and want to avoid all negativity about the show. Especially hello if you love Ed/ Stede, they are everything to me <3.

[saltpepperbeard]

no because again, i feel like the costuming changes are so very intentional. AGAIN, i am kissing the costuming department on their mouths.

because in the last episode, stede was red. stede was the red silk. stede was a fine thing. he was closer to himself, closer to ed’s heart. he was excited to find new clothes and glowed under the light of the moon.

and he continues to wear red into episode 6 when he’s alongside of ed and encouraging him to “turn poison into positivity.”

but then a switch occurs. in episode 6, he suddenly switches to blue. when he kills a man in cold blood, when a bit more ferocity comes out, he is in blue.

others have pointed out that this color on him represents forced masculinity, that it represents him trying to fit within the stereotypical box of “blue instead of pink.” and i think that’s just it. i think it’s very intentional.

because he’s trying to be ruthless instead of forgiving. hardened instead of soft. what he believes to be a “proper pirate/man” as opposed to someone who got stoned for picking flowers.

blue, and not red. cold, and not warm.

Hi.

Bye.

[hanzajesthanza]

hold up actually. wait a second. i always loved this passage and even referenced it recently on here, but...

it occurred to me (a straight hair-haver) that... while this routine to brush through your hair thoroughly at night would be a good care habit for someone with straight hair, wouldn't it be a bad idea for someone with naturally curly hair to do this? wouldn't brushing her hair dry with a comb (she later puts away the comb in a box), nightly, mess up her hair?
