I do think the reason why “take things slow” breaks so quickly (though I am not of the opinion that Calypso’s Birthday immediately follows that conversation) is because they both realize that taking things slow almost meant that they never made love at all and that they both nearly died without experiencing that with each other. It’s not heat of the moment but “I almost lost you without ever knowing what you felt like.”
And that’s a facet of the life they were living and yet another reason why they both needed to stop. Would it have been better if they’d been able to wait, especially since Ed was so terrified Stede was going to leave again and badly needed to know that he wasn’t? Yes. But they also realized that waiting almost meant never.

Thinking about Frenchie holding Izzy’s hand as the crew talk sense into him about his toxic relationship with Blackbeard. How Frenchie knew he needed all the comfort he could get, even though he was being held by Fang. Even though Frenchie has all his trauma locked up in a box in his brain.
Thinking about Frenchie saving and hiding Izzy at great risk to himself. About Jim and Archie helping Izzy after getting shot by Blackbeard. About Frenchie using Izzy’s thigh as a pillow when they’re in prison awaiting death. They’re a crew. A family. They love each other.
I love going viral on tumblr.com. It’s like if you stood in a field and said some of the stupidest shit a human being is capable of and then like fifty thousand crows attacked you

Izzy: I'm proud to identify as morosexual. I'm attracted to dumbasses and dumbasses exclusively. One time Stede asked which way the North Star points and now I dream of kissing him under the moonlight.
Stede: Izzy, which one is the topsail and which one is the taffsail?
Izzy, already removing his cravat: Stede you're so fucking stupid
Thinking about how DJenks saying Stede is Stede Bonnet the 15th and how that insinuates his father's name isn't Edward like it was in history, freeing up the potential for Ed to take Stede's last name without it being weird. Which is sweet and fun in its own right, but given ofmd hijinks this means they could maybe use their married names without revealing their identities, like:
One day while the boys are having a nice breakfast in town, someone approaches them, waving a wanted poster.
"Edward Teach. Stede Bonnet. The jig is up!"
Stede sighs. Not really the reaction expected of a pirate on the run with a bounty on his head.
"Not again," he mutters. Looks to his companion. "Do you want to explain this time?"
Their would-be capturer frowns. "Explain what exactly?"
"There's been a misunderstanding," Ed provides, "I'm Edward Bonnet. He's Stede Teach."
"Common misconception," Stede Teach chimes in.
"Unfortunate coincidence," Edward Bonnet adds.
"So....you're not pirates?"
"Christ, no. Innkeepers."
"We own the Mermaid." Stede takes a lazy sip of his tea, completely unbothered by the intrusion. "Near the beach."
Not sure if this has made it to tumblr yet, but you can vote for the GLAAD fan favourite movie/TV show, so vote for OFMD!!!!!! (you have to put it under Other bc criminally it's not even an option)
