#insofar as. like. he doesn't know him and pete are open. from a monogamy-normative perspective it's a betrayal.

I have successfully boiled my problem with most of the izzy reads that i hate down to a sentence:
he's not sexually repressed, he's emotionally repressed.
#they are different and ihave paragraphs and paragraphs of thoughts on it
#but dressing like a leather daddy and holding your hand over an open flame and literally everything else he does
#is not the behavior of a man who doesn't know or realize what gets him going
#he's not closeted. he's not homophobic. he thinks having Any Positive Emotion not related to violence makes you vulnerable
#[and he's right for his experience and circumstance but i won't touch that now]
#his conflict is emotional; ed's ability to captain isn't compromised by his being attracted to a man. it's compromised by Having Feelings.
#their ability to survive a world that wants them dead isn't compromised by either of them being queer; it's compromised by being SOFT
#by having WEAK SPOTS
#pets are a weak spot. lovers are a weak spot. get rid of them to stay safe. not out of spite.
#not out of a disdain for those relationships themselves. out of disdain for what Feelings Do To You
#idk man maybe i am simply emphatic about this nuance because i get—more than I would like—the impulse to be SAFE
#even at the cost of your self and some chances at being happier
#he doesn't even care that lucius is gay in the deck scene and i'd go so far as to say he doesn't really care that lucius is slutty
#insofar as. like. he doesn't know him and pete are open. from a monogamy-normative perspective it's a betrayal.
#your partner being unfaithful when you expect them To Be is ALSO A THING THAT CAN GET YOU KILLED
#like idk i just. i think people don't get how much of him is about safety?
#and i know the show's created this atmosphere of 'homophobia isn't a real threat'
#but they haven't removed the violence and danger crews other than stede face for Other Reasons
#so. he's very security-driven. and that's why he speaks to me.
#and it's annoying that people just make 'lol izzy's closeted' 'peak homophobic gay' jokes instead of. engaging. with the shit izzy AND ED
#went through to make them emotionally closed off the way they are
#THE SENTENCE IS A SENTENCE BUT THE EXPLANATION SURE ISNT
