"Like stuff. Don't be someone that doesn't like stuff, and if you don't like stuff, don't be a dick about it."

Can I also say how touching it is that Stede said he believed Ed would he happier without him, who, even in his fantasies, could only picture Ed wanting him as a picture of masculinity with a beard and no hesitation to kill. Stede still, deep down, doesn't understand why Ed would ever want him as he is.

But who did Ed see coming down to rescue him? It wasn't a manly recreation of Stede with a beard, masculine style and a killing spirit, it was a merman. Someone bright, colourful, by all accounts a rather feminine perception of Stede.

That was who rescued Ed. It wasn't who Stede thought he needed to be, it was someone soft, and bright, and graceful, and expressive. Someone feminine, someone queer.

I just think that's beautiful.

Do you think Ed brings up the mermaid story here because the way the sheets lay around Stede makes him look like a mermaid, merman, merperson?

Also!! The robe Ed is wearing is the color of the ocean.

The costume choices are so detailed and they are killing me.

Ok but is Ed gonna like… tell him about the mermaid thing?

[thisbisexualbrainrot]

Okay I get the mermaid scene is weird BUT have you considered:

Ed has always seen Stede as magical and special like obviously he would think of him as a siren

Ed has a thing for mermaids he mentions it in season one “massaged to death by mermaids”

His brain is losing oxygen and he’s hallucinating hardcore even if it is all in his head anyway

Y’all drew the fanart and Jenkins was like cool let’s do it and now you complain???

If you thought this show took itself seriously you are mistaken

Mermaid x Pirate supremacy

It was kinda hot?? And super romantic???

We won
