I can't figure out if I'm more confused that Izzy's arc culminated in his apology to Ed (and death) or that Ed's arc culminated in Izzy's burial because like, we established earlier in the season that sorry doesn't rebuild an abdominal wall. And death doesn't fix the harm either. And the other choice is making soup.

So then, why did Izzy have to do sorry and death to fix things with Ed, why was that portrayed as healing? (this is why I would argue it is not.)

And then Ed did a death in 2x03, then a few sorries but again, that doesn't rebuild an abdominal wall (or a leg and some toes), and he didn't even get to make soup?? did he even talk to anyone but Stede at the party or during the fuckery? was Ed's "soup" the little breakfast? is Stede the only person Ed has now, is that his whole community? but that was before everything went to pieces?

#ofmd s2 #izzy hands #i was like. nodding along so hard up through 2x06 i was like. this makes so much sense!#we're talking about hanging onto relationships that cause fear and divide in the community like a cursed suit or That Guy Who Tried To Kill #Half The People Here!#we're talking about restorative justice! we're talking about trying to repair relationships!#and we're talking about finding joy again after horrible things happen!!!#2x07 i was like okay. well. this is confusing but we're in the conflict bit i get it #2x08 was just ???????#kinda afraid to tag this with ed's name
