hello!! love your art!! if no one has suggested this already and you’d like a soft prompt at any point: stede waking up before ed, sleepy and smitten, tucking a strand of hair out of ed’s face.

thank you so much!! i took some liberties with this one. i just love the idea of Stede being obsessed with Ed as soon as he wakes up.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS META YOU DID AMAZING!!!!! i absolutely agree with everything you said and you brought up a lot of good points and history that i didn't know about!!!

i just wanted to add that i think season one also leans into ed's journey into femininity from a narrative and thematic standpoint!

as you pointed out, when we first meet him he is absolutely doused in masculinity. covered in leathers from head to toe, weapons brandished at his sides, and presenting himself with the masculine, self-assured confidence of a feared pirate captain.

and yet by episode nine, after a long journey of venturing into what makes ed happy, he surrounds himself with feminine comforts when he's at his most vulnerable. stede's robe, a blanket fort, candles, a jar of marmalade and lyricism. these are his remedies for a broken heart. its obvious what the joke is meant to be played off as: ed's acting like a heartbroken teenage girl. but i think it's so much more than just a joke.

when over the course of the season ed is slowly but surely breaking down his constructed facade of hypermasculinity, it seems apparent that his relationship with femininity is essential to what makes ed happy.

and i think the wedding toppers scene—when to all but himself he has returned to the toxic hypermasculinity that earned him his reputation, as he fantasizes about being stede's bride in the privacy of his own cabin—only reaffirms this for me.

"run from me needle drop was about edstede!!" this "run from me needle drop was about edizzy!!" that. can we talk about transfem bride ed

"You can't pull the trigger. You can't pull it because you love me.

It takes a very brave and a very cold man to do that Izzy, I don't think you can."

& w/ edizzy the presumed age difference hits so hard too. when god is a boy you love. when god is a boy seven years younger than you that you needed to keep safe. when you grew up together. cleaning up your messes all my life. taught him everything he knows. when god is a boy you love. when god is a boy you protected and can’t stop protecting and can’t stop loving, when in your mind he’s still fourteen and shaking with a fever on hornigolds ship, when you hid him away and kept watch so he wouldn’t get found, wouldn’t get killed. when god is a boy who grew up and became your boss. when you love him, when he hurts you and you love him, when you hurt him because you love him, because you forget he’s not fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, doesn’t need you, doesn’t want you to meddle, when your love has never been normal or definable. when he asks you to kill him and all you see is him with his wild, big eyes, hair sticking to his slick face, sick and tinged green. always with the dramatics. always with the longing for death. when god is a boy you love. when you’re his best friend and right hand man and mother and part time lover.

CW: violence

I feel like I got super spoiled by all the fanfics before season 2 came out. So many soft moments where they grew to love each other more and more.
