stede, having just slept with someone he loves and is mutually attracted to for the first time, someone who likely expressed a lot more enjoyment of it than mary ever did, having to hear that it was a mistake. -1 hp to me
Don’t look too far, right where you are, that’s where I am
#He turned himself into what they think he is
THIS is Blackbeard. Not some namby-pamby in a silk gown pining for his boyfriend!
This little scene in the teaser is so important to me actually. Because no matter what Izzy took with those words, no matter what posturing Ed does with his nine guns and kohl beard, underneath it all, he is still the soft, queer, lovelorn man in a silk gown pining after Stede.
He is still an absolute badass. He is sliding through sand on his knees and cutting off Navy officers with a single blow. He's crashing ships and throwing knives and taking names, and he is also longing and aching and wishing to be the lovely, fine thing that Stede loved.
For some reason I just can‘t stop imagining Ed defeatedly crawling into the auxiliary wardrobe to wallow in his sadness, alone, only to be met with a familiar voice saying „well, well, well“ and as he turns around Lucius is leaning against the door frame as wet as a poodle and sassily says „Look who went back into the closet“
“cats are scary, ‘cause they’ve got knives in their feet”
okay okay but can we talk about Izzy’s quote about how piracy is about “belonging to something” is overlayed over those clips of Wee John in drag and Jim and Olu being together like…. It’s literally about being queer. it’s so fucking queer. piracy as a parallel to queer community. it’s literally about finding your safe place where you can be yourself and meeting all these people who are just like you and BELONGING. Fucking belonging!!!!! that’s what the whole fucking show is about!!!! it’s about people who can’t fit in anywhere else but they fit with these people!!!!!!
Can't wait to find out if:
Or
this guy is so normal about stede bonnet (he wants to be his wife)
