Can't wait to find out if:

The crew of the Revenge attacked a ship that happened to have a wedding happening on it and Ed was like "this is awakening feelings in me"

Or

Ed was like "I am going to hunt down any motherfucker who thinks they can have their perfect happy ending to their love story while I, God's specialest boy, suffer."

[bowieified]

Important takeaways from the OFMD teaser:

Wee John seems to be the one dressed as a mermaid!

Ed appears to have decorated a female wedding figurine to look like himself to match the one that looks like Stede I'M DYING

Ed has outfitted himself with one two, three four - NINE guns

Frenchie is getting into the spirit of things

Stede did a punch!

Ed and Stede are fighting soldiers and running towards each other across the beach????!!!

EDIT - further discoveries:

Anne Bonny kissed Stede??

Ed has been counting the days (tally marks on the wall) since he and Stede separated :(

Fancy red jacket

[cataclysmic-cathexis]

“Dear Ed,

I love everything about you.

I love being near you.

Breathing the same air.

I think of you often.

Hope you’re thinking of me as well.”

Listen, I know we're all talking about the beautiful editing in this scene right now. However, and that might be just a guess, I think Ed is killing someone here.

First off, look at the background. They aren't fighting anymore. This isn't an action packed raid scene where everybody is fighting against one another amidst the chaos of bloodshed. It's quiet, normal even. The fighting is over, and everyone is either checking their newly acquired loot or looking at Ed, who seems to be at the center of ship. Now see where the gun is pointed - it's down,

almost as if he is shooting someone who's kneeling.

That's not a warning shot and neither is it a fight, that's an execution. Ed is killing again (by his definition of killing I mean)

And I DEFINITELY am not implying that he has become super violent and angry or something like that (which I think is a very stupid, racist take and not in line with his previous characterization at all, but that's a whole other post), tbh I think it's exactly the opposite. He isn't angry at all, that's what's worrying me. There is a stone cold dead calm in him. I think he has given up.

That is, by letting go of one of his core principles (not killing), and therefore becoming the Kraken - he is personafying himself as his father's killer, trying to become the monster other people and himself believe him to be. I mean, LOOK AT HIS CLOTHES!!

He is wearing nine guns and is very much looking like a vampire clown. He's dressing up as a caricature of himself. He is doing all of that because - deep down - he thinks that's why Stede left him. Because when he finally laid his soul bare in front of him, Stede rejected him (so that surely must mean that he saw something he did not like in there). To Ed, Stede finally "sees him now" as the monster he really is. A monster who isn't deserving of fine things, or luxuries such as not killing. So when he becomes the Kraken, after Izzy does That Whole Thing, he gives up trying to fight for them.

Thing is, the Kraken is not really killing other people, at least narratively speaking (sorry Lucius). Killing is a tool he is using to let go of the part of him that longs for Stede, love and all the fine things that he can't have - and the part of him that is just so, so hurt by not having them. The Kraken isn't killing others, it's killing Ed.

So it's no wonder that we see him kill at a wedding of all places. It's the embodyiment of everything he has ever wanted and lost so far. Extravagant dresses, good food, fancy stuff and, most of all - love.

You know the thing that I really wanna know about season 2?

What. Changed. Izzy?

He was so happy, even manic when Ed shut down and became Blackbeard again, so to now see him in the trailer, with a defeated, sad look on his face teaching Stede how to be a proper pirate, I can‘t help but wonder: at what point did he realize that Ed was not happy as Blackbeard? At what point did he think „So you really are here to stay, huh, Bonnet? Might as well teach you not to die immediatly, then“. I mean of course the Izzy&Stede scenes could also happen after Ed&Stede are already reunited and officially dating, so Izzy has no other choice other then helping him… but even then: what made him ultimately realize that no matter how hard he tried, Edward was miserable without Stede and that it wasn‘t just a crush or a fling but in fact love?

Because remember, he said, „I don‘t take orders from Edward, Blackbeard is my captain“

So thinking about the moment that Izzy has to accept Edward as his captain has me rolling in my grave.
