to be honest i know we've all been making jokes about how easily ed quote unquote folded after taking about like six hours total to actually "forgive" stede but i stare at that scene where stede is telling him he loves everything about him he loves just being Near him and ed's expression is SO INSANE like the second after he stops stede from actually saying "i love you" and stede immediately just starts doing it anyway he's like DON'T -_- but he's turning to face him like a flower in the sun bc he absolutely wants to hear it and is prompting him to continue it's making me sick. and then his little 3 step smile... augh... he literally did fold wet napkin style but it's so sweet :(

#🐾#TO ME... ! i know people who are being critical and perhaps loserish even say this is a reason why they're doomed bc he gave in so quickly #and forgave him. but i don't think that's actually true and i think this conversation and the one in the woods healed way more than people #give them credit for or even maybe think about. like i do think blackbeard as a physical manifestation of ed's heartbreak is still ofc #due to that but i also think it's a disservice to ed himself to accredit everything JUST to stede and is why people might think it's sloppy #or something. i think ed was well on his way to healing and dealing with the breakup just fine until he was forced into having to suppress #everything about his emotions (the emotions that make him who he IS...) and it became the catalyst to him needing to confront his own like #inner misgivings about what he thinks of himself. i think it could technically be fair if people were going Look they just showed that #stede appeared and solved all his problems and he jumped back into his arms then it blew up and then he did it again!!!#and it's like okay. well i don't think that's what happened LOL #and that is WHYYYY stede saying i love everything about you and just being near you As you is so sweet and what he wanted to hear and why #he turned in the first place. he absolutely had already made peace with everything to do with stede IN the gravy basket #and everything else was just the inevitable leftover feelings and why they melted away so easily. though tbf he did express his feelings #VERY CLEARLY and efficiently if i do say so myself like he was communicating. it wasn't unhealthy LOL 😭#and i think him finally letting himself want these things (stede's affection / love) and turning actively towards them IS the indication #that he was already ready to move on and feeling more stable emotionally and mentally. and all the conflict after was understandable #and also well come on this is a romcom they need conflict it doesn't mean they're doomed 😭 anyway #i also think stede appearing in ed's dream and saving him the way he did was on purpose and reflects all of this really well and people #attributing it to ''see he just came and fixed everything and made him not depressed anymore'' are STUPID #like the entire point is stede appears and reminds ed of what he can have and work towards and also in the literal sense that damn mermaid #did NOTHING. they just floated there together. he didn't pull him up to the surface ed did that himself. ITS ALL HIM. UGH. anyway #anyway that's just what i am turning over in my mind about it i'm sure others think different probably #ofmd #gentlebeard
