Ed's physical violence against Izzy is pirate violence. We know this -- Ed tells us this in 1.9. We know how pirate discipline is enforced.

What's not pirate violence or discipline is Izzy's constant abuse of Ed's choices, and undermining him to the crew. And his threat in 1.10. Those things are not normal.

And that's why Izzy apologizes at the end.

Are you serious? Are putting on the same level Izzy's words (as toxic as they are) to the physical violence of Ed cutting off his toes?? I love Ed, but we can't justify every bad action of him, he's not an innocent baby!

I'm actually so serious, Anon.

Are you?

Are you seriously going to sit here and tell a 2Spirit Native that calling the English Navy (the cops) on Ed (a queer brown man) and his boyfriend isn't physical violence? Those aren't words. Those are actions.

Aside from that, he's been manipulating, belittling and abusing Ed the entire first season. Abuse is abuse; it being non-physical at first doesn't diminish that it was abuse. Emotional and mental abuse is just as much abuse.

Izzy undermines Ed constantly. When he doesn't like a choice Ed makes (for himself) he goes behind Ed's back and sends his ex boyfriend to literally manipulate him into leaving Stede. He calls him derogatory terms in regards to his queerness and straight up tells him he should have let the English kill him. If that doesn't read as a vague death-threat idk what does.

And he said that to Ed in one of his most vulnerable moments, while healing from heartache, after Ed literally saved him from the crew's mutiny.

I'd also like to add that Ed warned him. After that first toe we saw in s1, he told Izzy "threaten me again, ever, and I'll feed you the rest"

🤷‍♂️

This isn't to say I don't think Izzy deserves a support group, but I don't think he's entitled to one (or my sympathy) when the toxic environment is something he's curated since day one.

Ed isn't abusive, he's reacting to abuse.

It’s somehow more jarring to see Elton in black than Johnny in pink.

at risk of sounding just fully out of touch with the common man I do fully forget a lot of the time that other women like for serious wear bras and do makeup daily and shave on the reg for real. like that's so silly that's only in movies. but no it's real. I see a hairless leg and get jumpscared.

transphobes I can't stop you from reblogging this but I despise you.

larry mitchell, the faggots and their friends in between revolutions, illustrations by ned asta, calamus press, 1977

[“The strong women told the faggots that there are two important things to remember about the coming revolutions. The first is that we will get our asses kicked. The second is that we will win.

The faggots knew the first. Faggot ass-kicking is a time honored sport of the men. But the faggots did not know about the second. They had never thought about winning before. They did not even know what winning meant. So they asked the strong women and the strong women said winning was like surviving, only better. As the strong women explained winning, the faggots were surprised and then excited. The faggots knew about surviving for they always had and this was going to be just plain better. That made the ass-kicking different. Getting your ass kicked and then winning elevated the entire enterprise of making revolution.”]

Rewatching OFMD for the hundredth time, and I think if Ed had seen Stede prancing through the Republic of Pirates in his fancy white outfit and perfect little curls yelling, "Man for sale!" and "Check out this fabulous booty I'm hawkin'!" he would have propositioned him right there.

So many people wouldn’t have asthma in the first place if it wasn’t for these corporations…Shifting blame from actual culprits to people with asthma (and people who can’t help but use plastic straws at that) is peak capitalism.
