Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
... that post about Izzy keeping his distance in part because he's sure he's going to have to kill them and Jack calling him sentimental AND Ed's rule about killing pets because love makes men weak are currently making my brain buzz... what was it LIKE on Blackbeard's crew?? I want to know their backstory so bad!
I'm thinking about this excellent post by @itsclydebitches about what Blackbeard may have been like and another meta that I can't find right now about how we've already been told how dark Edward can be but we've laughed it off as not serious because Edward is also so wounded and sweet and babygirl - that we might be shocked by the Kraken in S2, but we won't be able to say we weren't warned.
I hope we get flashbacks so we can see what it was like, and how much of it is new after Stede and Izzy and "Eddie, Eddie give us another song".
The moment I keep returning to is Fang's fear when Lucius is sketching him and he thinks Blackbeard is back. Fang who cries over his dog and smiles sweetly and flirts with Lucius but who is also a proper pirate who doesn't flinch or hesitate when Ed orders the snail fork flaying, who kills and carries out raids and is fearsome in his own right - he's scared of Ed seeing him being sketched. When he finds out it's just Izzy he relaxes completely and makes no move to end the sketching session. He doesn't care if Izzy sees because Izzy isn't a threat to him, Izzy isn't going to hurt him, Izzy, it seems, isn't even going to tell on him. But Ed? Fang does not want to get on his bad side.
I don't think Edward is a monster, or an abuser. I also don't think he's been secretly trying to be soft for 20 or 30 years while Izzy slaps his hand away and continuously forces him into a role he wants no part of and was never happy with.
Edward is Blackbeard as much as he is Ed, and we have no reason to believe he didn't set the tone for his own ship. A tone that is far lighter than the monstrous time they had on Hornigold's ship, but also far darker than the Revenge.
Moscow is mourning today. This night, more than 60 lives were taken by camouflaged men in Crocus City Hall. 3 of them are children. There are more than 120 people hospitalised. More can die. All of them were innocent civillians.
Moscow is mourning today. All public events are cancelled, if not in mourning, then for safety reasons. Universities and schools have cancelled classes.
Sources differ, but it is generally accepted that about 20 armed men in camouflage went into the building, killed all security, and started firing towards people. There was also a concert going on, which meant there were more people around than usual. The terrorists later set fire to the mall.
Me: *explaining that the Israel/Palestine conflict is far more complex than the media lets on, how both the government of Israel and Hamas have partaken equally in the suffering and abuse against Palestinians for decades and how the Israeli army can't really avoid the deaths of civilians because Hamas has specifically forced those civilians in first line of harm, showing there are multiple villains here*
Some people: "sO yOu'rE a GenOciDe aNd waR crImEs aPolOgisT"
Inspired by that charming user that sent me a private message with the following words: "War crimes and genocide apologists spotted :)"
I'm starting to question if some people did actually finish education, considering the alarming lack of basic reading comprehension and common sense that's showing so much here.
I am a firm believer that they set up Jen as love-lost in ep 4 so that we can see her and Matt have a fling later on. they both deserve it (and we, the audience, also do)
