Ed deserves a four poster bed with full canopy and curtains. It's like a fancy blanket fort to sleep in. He would love it.

I am not over (and probably never will be) these two parallels. And no one talks about it enough, so I had to draw it (forgot to post it, surprise) for my own sanity. Does it help? Absolutely not, not at all.

Let's talk about it for a bit, okay?

The first drawing is the scene from the end of the 4th episode of the 1st season, right after Ed's and Izzy's (first mate at the time) conversation about plans with Stede, the full crew of the Revenge, and the future. We can see Ed's expression and OH BOY. He is hiding under the mask of Blackbeard to survive. He is exhausted, bored, empty and so done being "The dreadful pyrate Blackbeard". He just wants to be Ed, who fancy fine fabrics and sweet and soft things. It's completely opposite to Izzy's expression, who is behind him and smiling, clearly delighted by Blackbeard's persona and his great plans. On top of it all, the song "The empty boat" by Caetano Veloso playing in the background (I love love love this song), and it fits so well with Ed's emotions.

The second drawing is the scene from the 1st episode of the 2nd season, right after Ed and Frenchie (now first mates) spoke about future plans. Ed let himself be soft and got hurt because of it. Now he's trying to be Blackbeard again, trying to fit in some "norms" of "manly man," trying to survive in a world where liking soft and being soft means dead, and he is failing miserably. He is everything he doesn't want to be. Also, even Stede's name is not mentioned, you know it's all about him. Ed is hurt, tired, and heartbroken. Ed is not the only one who see this. Basically, the whole crew can see how unstable he became after coming back to Blackbeard/ The Kraken persona. Frenchie´s expression shows it all. He stands behind him on his right side, the same spot where Izzy stands in S1. But his expression completely different from Izzy's - sad, afraid, unsure. Once again on top of the scene, the song "Pygmy Love Song" by Francis Bebey (one of my favourite songs from S2) perfectly shows all Ed's emotions.

I am so sorry for this long, boring post. I simply LOVE these two scenes and everything about them, and I needed to share my thoughts with you. I hope it makes sense and my grammar is not too bad.

Lil modern Ed wip, inspired by NY Street fashion photography. I'm still backpacking (currently in Bahol) so enjoy a grainy ass photo of the babygirl in question.

It occurs to me I haven't drawn this guy in his canon leathers that much... should probably fix that.

What a bummer that Stede is technically 'dead' in Barbados. No parading around the super-hot leatherdaddy (who calls him 'zaddy' and middle-fingers all rules and mores of acceptable levels of PDA) in a much deserved in-your-face-haters glow-up tour.

Yeah, so it's Ed again. He's just so lovely and the show is so lovely. I miss my safe space ship.

Every Ed Teach Scene (26c/?)

[pilotlala]

The Art of Fuckery is so damn Shakespeare, all the hiding behind curtains–very Shakespeare, very Hamlet. Ed trying to decide if he’s going to kill Stede or not–very very Hamlet. When Ed is watching the fuckery and has a complete breakdown when he sees the kraken, so so goddamn Hamlet, WTF. Claudius is reminded of his own murderous actions, breaks down and flees. Ed, reminded of his deepest, darkest moment, the moment that makes him feel like a monster, that haunts him for the rest of his life, gasps and collapses and has to crawl into the bathtub. WHY IS THIS TV SHOW SO SHAKESPEARE I DIE.

“Turn your enemy’s worst fear against them. You’ll own them.”

Secrets I have held in my heart Are harder to hide than I thought

[devilray-art]

I did a page of warm-up sketches and this one ended up being my favorite (surprise surprise)

I didn’t have a story for this one, just kinda had the mental image. Maybe he got the injury in a raid of a fuckery gone wrong? You decide.

"Some people are just broken. No matter what you do."

"I'm not ready to believe that."

I'm not ready to believe that.

Because he's seen Ed in the moments he's pieced together. He's seen the giddy lightness of an Ed that feels safe. He's seen the joy of a man learning to bond with his crew. He's seen the "Blackbeard" mask slip to reveal a man who desires happiness, safety, a family.

He knows Ed isn't broken beyond repair. He just needs to be held gently as he's pieced back together, bit by bit.

Your boyfriend is a lost cause.

I'm not ready to believe that.
