[image description: Edward Teach dressed in a beautiful red dress. He is on the porch, coming down on the Stede's boat, which is covered in small white flowers. Because he holds lantern Stede helps him come down, holding him under his armpits like a todler. Stede is dressed in baby blue suit and has a beard and long tied hair. There is a strong wind blowing thier hair and garments. In the distance there are waves crashing against lighthouse. The storm is comming]

Who else has been listening Chappell Roan on repeat? Guess who's Hot to Go 💋
I am obsessed with dressing him up in little outfits like he's my baby doll cutie pie pop princess. Ed would absolutely love Coachella and he would be dancing all night, the best dressed in the pit 💜

Ed and Frenchie connecting right away always makes me smile.
Their connection in 1x5 feels instinctual. We see Frenchie carefree, walking into the captain's quarters with a flourish in his new outfit. He's comfortable with them, and when Ed and Stede decide to go to the party, Ed right away asks Frenchie to come along if he doesn't have any plans.
Then when Ed walks out of the party upset Stede is not the only one to respond to that. Frenchie's body language immediately changes from relaxed and having fun to standing straight up, concern on his face followed immediately by a crack at the societal people.
We don't see it directly on screen but Frenchie and Olu used their earlier agreement with Abshir over the pyramid scheme to get Stede the information for the passive aggression moment.
We don't know much about Frenchie's past, only that he worked in "service," can play the lute, and is an absolute gem at pulling off ploys.
I have written about how Frenchie and Ed have similar coping mechanisms with their trauma, and while not on the surface or talked about, it adds to their connection.
(This connection also explains why Ed keeps Frenchie aboard at the end of the first season and why he chooses Frenchie to be first mate.)
Now I feel like I'm rambling but my point is, we learn so much about Frenchie's character in this episode and the relation between Ed and Frenchie is instant and sweet. I love the effortlessness behind connections between people in this show.
The Best Revenge is Dressing Well is a great episode and these small moments, this link makes it all the more deeper.

Ed Teach does in fact have a head of smoke, it's just tobacco smoke floating around him as he smokes his pipe and watches Stede Bonnet sleeping with the utmost of care.
And he also does have red eyes (heart eyes) that burn with love and passion as he gazes adoringly at Stede at all times.
