I’ve seen a few people saying that while no one could have played Stede Bonnet but Rhys anyone could have played Edward Teach. Respectfully I have to disagree. I don’t think anyone but Taika could have played Edward Teach. The vulnerability, the joy, the laughter, the sadness, the pain, every single layer that Ed has is played to perfection by Taika. The way you can see exactly how Ed is feeling without saying a word speaks to the incredible acting skills Taika has. The same goes for Rhys as Stede. Also the dynamic of the friendship between Taika and Rhys is what makes the dynamic between Ed and Stede so special alongside the wonderful writing. I just can’t picture anyone else playing Ed except for Taika and I can’t imagine anyone but Rhys playing Stede. Nothing would have been the same. I don’t feel like it would have been nearly as special as it is.

✨ZADDY✨ has been living rent-free in my brain since Samba dropped the bomb and I knew I had to do something about it.

Am very pleased to have it confirmed that Taika playing Ed as helplessly turned on by the Captain's Voice was not at all something imposed by interpretation but entirely conscious and unhinged.

"Why yes, he is a sub with a daddy kink. Why do you ask?"

That man not only wore a kitty collar he called his boyfriend zaddy in front of god and everyone.

@ourfag this possessed me. sorry

a few reminders because i’m tired and angry

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes

the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually

liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space

preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good

no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl

liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that

just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny 

some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have

no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems

abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships

y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
