- they both leave messages or little doodles for each other written in the steam on their bathroom mirror
- stede has pet ducks (amongst other animals on their property) and they follow him around like he’s their mama which ed finds fucking adorable. they also steal things while his back is turned until he turns hands on hips and gently scolds them like naughty children (this is absolutely based on my own mum doing the same thing when she was younger)
- stede loses ed and the ducklings for a whole hour while he’s busy doing something else. he follows the sound of muffled happy quacks and ed’s voice and finds them in a blanket fort, with ed lying on his belly just talking to them
- ed somehow always managed to grow the biggest fuckoff fruits and vegetables in their garden. meanwhile stede pulls a carrot out of the ground and it’s the smallest most pathetic squiggle of a carrot you’ve ever seen. ed still treats it like it’s the best thing ever though
i would have loved to see Ed high fiving Stede and Stede just... not really knowing what that is and thinking that Ed is just trying to hold his hand in a weird way
And again, I know the quote on the right is incorrect; it’s a joke between my husband and I and while it’s canonically wrong, it’s correct in our own personal canon 💜
Izzy lying to Stede saying he stabbed his painting to spare his feelings and make him think Ed was still a good person and didn't want to cause him any harm while being in unimaginable pain and barely conscious from having a limb amputated without any anesthesia all after being the reason they basically broke up in the first place. little man, you are so weird I want to study you under a microscope
rewatching ofmd right now and literally all I can think about is how the guy on the left is somehow also the guy that shoved edward teach against a wall for the purposes of having hot gay sex
