OK, OK, but, like, even IF Ed was depressed and in need of help, in WHAT FUCKING WORLD is "stop being gay or I'll kill you" a mental health intervention?!

the joy of stizzy is watching izzy go from 'ah! daddy, daddy yes, harder - ' to 'fuck off, bonnet :eye roll:' after a generous minute of afterglow-induced snuggling

Fishin’ Fails and Pirate Sails!

I'm still thinking about the western-style allegories used in the show.

First the classic standoff shot of shooting through the legs to show the power structure. Ultimately, foreshadowing Stede winning against the bad guys — Izzy and crew. +

Izzy and crew are introduced as the bad guys in western style. There is a 60s-style music cue when the trio are first in frame. They are also small, center-shot in the frame, in the distance, and slightly zoomed on, showing them as the antagonists of the story.

(Also, I didn't include a bad guy shot here for the example, but I just really love City Slickers and wanted to include it.)

The second duel between Izzy and Stede continues these tropes and symbolism from Westerns. (The closeness, the zoom in, the angle of the weapon against the other.)

And then the other classic showdown/standoff style. First in season one with Olivia and Calico Jack, and again in season two with Ed at the wedding party — there isn't an accompanying shot there though, because Ed is having a showdown with himself.

Hey Steddyhands fans! Do you like fics with complicated feelings? Angst? Hurt/comfort? Emotionally-heavy smut? Explosions? Psychological trauma? You may enjoy my Canon-Divergence AU series The Depths.

This series began as a fill for an “Izzy gets kidnapped” prompt on the Our Flag Means Kink meme and grew into…a lot more than that. Part 1 is finished, Part 2 is at 5 chapters so far. That’s over 150,000 cumulative words of our three favorite pirates trying (sometimes successfully) to figure out their feelings, with lots more to come!

I don’t normally do self-promo on this blog, but writing long fics is hard and knowing people are enjoying the story is the best motivation there is. If you want to say hi or ask a question, my ask box and comments section are open.

I can't stop thinking about Izzy and Mary and how they deserve to be best friends

Let Izzy join the dead husband support group!! Evelyn would love him

[erostheartist]

oh, don't mind me. i'm just freaking out right now! but like, in a completely cool and nonchalant way, of course.

Rewatching S1 and that first episode where Ed and his crew are interacting with Stede's guys hits really different when you internalise that Izzy was fully expecting that he'd be ordering these guys' murders once the ship was fixed up.

Like, 'oh he's being so rude and not making friends' um....there's a reason.

[celluloidbroomcloset]

See, not only is Izzy a villain and an antagonist, he's an incompetent one. Everything he does has the opposite effect of what he intends.

Lies to Ed about telling Stede who Ed is? Ed is even more intrigued by Stede telling Blackbeard to go suck eggs in hell.

Tries to get Ed to kill Stede? Winds up solidifying their relationship when Ed confesses to the murder of his father.

Tries to kill Stede himself? Stede wins the duel, Izzy gets tossed off the ship.

Tries to get Stede murdered by the English? Ed signs ten years of his life away just to be with Stede.

Tries to get Ed to become Blackbeard again? Oh, baby, let us talk about how that one backfired!

Such a goddamn loser, it's hilarious.

literally saw that scene while i was drawing him.
