i love it when powerful, intelligent characters fall in love with each other, especially amidst a conflict, because those types of characters are often so seemingly invulnerable and untouchable
yet have two of them fall in love and suddenly neither are quite so invincible anymore. they’re each other’s achilles heel. their weakness. 
and they know this. maybe their love will be their downfall. maybe it will all end in pain. the danger is there. 
but it doesn’t matter, because they can’t go back, and they don’t want to go back anyways.

It bothers me to see folks complaining that Ed can’t possibly be abused or feel fear or make mistakes because that would make him weak, and obviously he is not weak.
Ed is the big, tattooed, badass pirate. That’s a part of who he is. He’s a brilliant sailor and tactician; he understands drama and how to use fear. He can put on his armor and emerge from the sea and use the violence that he understands intimately to fight for the people he loves.
Tumblr media
He has also been craving softness and tenderness for years. That’s what his story is about—he's been trapped in this hypermasculine role, likely originally to protect himself and to fit into the society that would absolutely break him if he was anything else. But from the moment we see him as a child, he's wanted the silk. He wants that gentle hand that will touch his heart and tell him that fine things belong to him, and that those fine things are not shameful or embarrassing. He’s scared of becoming the Kraken; he’s traumatized, he’s afraid of being killed or hurt, and the only way he knows to stop that is to be the meanest, biggest, baddest pirate he can be. He flinches when people get too close to his face. He’s afraid to show his emotions because what if others think he’s weak and use that against him?
Ed's softness is right below the surface. Stede just has to talk to him for half an hour to bring it out—hell, the gentleness with which Ed treats Stede even before that reveals his softness. And that's not "weakness"—that’s care and compassion that toxic masculinity tries to couch as weakness.
Tumblr media
Ed’s entire arc uses the concept of how exhausting it is being constantly STRONG, when strength means not having emotions other than anger or showing any sign of vulnerability. He shows that exhaustion the first time we meet him. Everyone depends on him; he can't show fear because then everyone else will be scared too. Not even being able to talk about your fears or even the things that make you happy. He can’t even be joyful! That just shows that he’s crazy!
He and Stede become co-captains almost immediately, even if they don’t call themselves that, because suddenly the weight can come off of Ed and he can indeed be creative and let his mind work again.
Ed is told that all the things he wants are weakness, and all the things that Stede represents are weakness. He has to be violent. He has to destroy the things he loves. And he has, in the past. He’s hurt people and he’s been cruel to people and he’s destroyed things and other people. He’s been shaped by violence and told that’s all he is. He can’t be in love and he can’t be soft and he can’t even have fun—having fun is weakness too.
Tumblr media
And the show clearly develops that the things he’s told about strength, about what "being a man" means, is abuse! He’s being abused—both by a culture and by an individual (yes, by Izzy) who is himself trapped in that culture. He can’t love anything; he has to kill it, to show that he’s still Blackbeard. And constantly having to kill those things is destroying him bit by bit because he thinks that’s all he is and all he deserves.
Ed is not "weak." Ed has survived in a world where he's been told everything gentle in him is a weakness and that world has still failed to kill those things. It takes a few minutes of conversation with a man who understands that experience to bring those things out and for him to see that he might be safe with this person.
Ed decides to live. He decides to overcome all the bullshit that has been thrown at him, including by people who claim to love him, and to say that it's not true he's a monster and he's unlovable. He decides to shed the persona that has shielded him because it's now trapping him, and to put it on again in order to protect the man he loves. He decides to trust Stede again. He decides to tell Stede he loves him.
Tumblr media
He's exceptionally brave.

To the part of the Good Omens Fandom, who has not read @mrghostrat 's writing, how is it to lack grace and goodness in you life?
No bc, genuinely one of my favourite writing styles to ever exist and I will keep gushing about Big Name Feeling and And They Were Streamers to my friends at every opportunity, just so they know how much I enjoy it.
Today's chapter? *chef's kiss*

Eternal
“Will it always be blood between us?” Raphael asks, tipping his head to the side. Blood tracks through an amalgamation of dirt and sweat. For once, Tav sees none of his typical bravado. It’s not the devil, ambitious, ageless, driven, standing before her. He’s only a man, exhausted. 
Tav scrubs at her face, body aching. 
He wants the Crown.
She refuses to give it up. 
And so it must be war. Tav stands to her full height, willing down the pain. It pales compared to the duller hurts: an ache in her chest she cannot adequately quantify and bone-deep weariness. She wants to lay down her sword. Tav wants to rest. 
“It has to be,” she says, sighing. The hero manages to smile. 
He does not return it. He shakes his hand, residual motes of hellfire sputtering and dying in the otherwise stagnant air. “How long have we danced this dance?” 
Oh, gods, she’s lost track. Time is strange in the Astral Plane. It stretches on and on. Her voice is soft. “Centuries, maybe.” 
“Too long.” 
It’ll go on far longer—an unstoppable force, an immovable object…gods above, how miserable. 
Tav scrubs a hand through her hair, moves towards a rocky outcropping, and sits. She pats the spot beside her. To his credit, Raphael chuckles, dipping into a low half-bow before joining her. The devil hums before reaching out to grasp her chin. His expression twists with something inexplicable. Not longing, not in the traditional sense, but some cousin. In his eyes, she sees all the lost potential, shattered hopes, and dreams put on pause because of her supposed righteousness. 
He sighs, thumb swiping over her lower lip. “And to think, we might have avoided all this. If not for your pride.” 
Tav laughs, leaning against his shoulder. “Mmm. I suppose I should have trusted a devil’s word? You’d have been peaceable, passive. You’d have been content with just the Hells.” She glances up at him. “We both know that’s a lie. So…here we are.” He grunts in affirmation. Tav takes his right hand, bringing it to her lips. There’s a scar running across his right knuckles- her gift to him. It sends a sickly thrill of possession through her. He wears her mark (and gods only know, she wears his). Tav speaks against his skin. “Who knows? Maybe one day you’ll finally kill me.” 
Raphael laughs, low, hollow. “Perhaps. And you’ll have robbed my triumph of its sweetness, you spiteful creature.” 
There’s nothing left to say. Tav kisses him, tastes promise and poison, tastes what might have been. It is sickly sweet, tearing at her inside. Raphael strokes her cheek. Then, he stands. 
“Come, hero. Again. Kill or be killed. Cede the Crown to its proper master.” 
And so, they begin again.

A couple reference notes I made for Sun and Moon, mostly based on my own headcanons but sprinkled in with some pretty mutually agreed upon ones.
Also one more, but based on @bamsara​’s Solar Lunacy:
