it's in so many fics and so many metas and so many joke posts and so many people act like it's a blatant canonical fact that sometimes it feels like im going crazy

but every time i rewatch the show im struck by how literally the only solid evidence for the interpretation that izzy is essential in running ed's ship

is the fact that izzy says so

#ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd meta #izzy hands #dizzy izzy #izzy critical #<- i guess????#txt #meta #mine #og #like please take note of the word Essential here #im not arguing if he's good or bad at being a pirate (altho i certainly have my opinions on that too lol)#im saying that i have read fics where izzy is kicked off the ship and everything falls apart #i have read fics where ed himself is like “i've never had to learn how to actually manage a ship‚ izzy's always done it for me”#i have read posts and metas about how izzy's the only one who can wrangle stede's crew into being good pirates #and it's one of those fanon interpretations that has so little canonical backing it just. baffles me.
