I was listening to Erik Satie's Gnossienne No.1 and I just had to make this drawing of Reborn!DogDay.

I remember when I first heard this on the Poirot movie "Five Little Pigs", and it always brought a feeling of haunting and depression, which I thought was perfect for Reborn!DogDay's situation.

If I hear Gnossiennes no. 5 in season 2--or worse! DON'T hear it in S.2 but DO hear it in season 3-- I'm gonna lose it!!!!

gnossienne n. a moment of awareness that someone you’ve known for years still has a private and mysterious inner life, and somewhere in the hallways of their personality is a door locked from the inside, a stairway leading to a wing of the house that you’ve never fully explored—an unfinished attic that will remain maddeningly unknowable to you, because ultimately neither of you has a map, or a master key, or any way of knowing exactly where you stand.

The first time we hear Gnossienne no. 5 in season 2 is this moment right here, when Stede reboards the Revenge.

We hear it again a little later, when Stede starts cleaning up the Captain's cabin.

Of course, we came to know this piece of music in S1 as Ed and Stede's love theme. It was only ever used when they were together, and it punctuated so many important moments in their developing relationship.

But in the above scenes, Stede is alone. The use of Gnossienne here deviates pretty strongly from the pattern established in S1. There were many other pieces of music they could have used, but they chose this one. Why?

I think it tells us that, when Stede looks around at the state of the Revenge's deck, and the state of the Captain's cabin, all he sees is Ed - or more specifically, Ed's pain.

Ed's heartbreak is writ large all over the ship. In a very sad way, the carnage aboard the Revenge is a love letter from Ed to Stede.

STORIES TELLING: HOW RECURRING MUSIC IN OFMD CAUSES MENTAL DEVASTATION IN THE VERY BEST WAY

How the Blackbeard theme, Gnossienne No. 5, and Voi Che Sapepte reveal, reinforce and recontextualize the narrative. An in-depth analysis of key scenes throughout seasons 1 and 2.

Much gratitude to pocket friends who were so encouraging and provided valuable feedback while I worked on this.

Gnossienne No. 5 doyoueverstopandthink - i will literally never get over about how fantastic the transition from robert schumann's "träumerei" to erik satie's "gnossiennes: no. 5" is

Voi Che Sapete asongaboutpirates - Another little detail about OFMD that makes me go feral

Transformation in OFMD fresne999 - Half way through the journey of our analyses mxmollusca - The transformation from object to subject, from something that has things done to it versus someone with agency.

Ed's & Izzy's Relationship asneakyfox - you have to understand i have always felt the key thing that makes blackhands interesting...

chaotic-neutral-knitter - Izzy telling Stede "I know you think you understand him," and Stede immediately describing Ed's emotional state perfectly accurately... gaypiratepropaganda - On Izzy saying "because of your feelings for Stede fucking Bonnet"

Ed's Arc veeagainsttheday - Ed, Killing, and the Kraken in Our Flag Means Death S1 and S2

piratecaptainscaptainpirates - I've been thinking about how Ed starts directly killing people in s2e8 57flagsofdeath - Still thinking about this scene. Ed lights the fire place, puts a blanket on the floor to lay on, and puts the two cake toppers next to each other before rolling over and bursting into tears. asneakyfox - i've talked a fair bit about how i don't think "anger issues" is a very useful way to describe how the show frames ed's relationship with violence

Izzy's Arc bakasara - Trying to parse my thoughts on Izzy's death and why I had a different reaction to it than I thought I would. forpiratereasons - all right. i'm ready to talk about izzy.

Love & Relationships in OFMD jaskierx - posting some thoughts from the discord about how many 'irl relationship' things they're dealing with in ep7 and how much i am eating my mattress about it medievill - ofmd does not give a fuck about reality or history or anachronism but it draws the line at magic dick.
