"killing off izzy after he went through all this growth and finally got to be happy means all that healing was for nothing"
goddamn that is a bleak way to look at life. we all die, man. healing is still worth the effort.

Can‘t believe tomorrow is THE day. Already sobbing in preparation.
the kiss un-mirrored and slowed down. for reasons
So it seems pretty obvious Ed is gonna fish up the leathers next week, but I wonder if he might find some of the letters Stede chucked in the ocean too, Stede mentioning them this week but not telling Ed what was in them makes me suspicious they brought it up for a reason.
I KNEW IT x
Computer enhance
"Dear Ed, the crew and I are safe and thriving. Still a bit unclear weather(?) you leave them for dead? Or perhaps that was just an oversight?
As I've renounced my wealth I've been forced to take up temporary residence on the Republic of Pirates."
This is the exactly the letter Stede reads out in episode 1. Bold are the lines heard in the show.
These episodes really took a dark turn. I‘m equally as amazed as I am terrified.
The fact that Stede‘s innocence died in such a drastic way the moment that he killed Ned honestly just blew my mind.
Like, my man got TURNED ON by finally being able to kill. He even killed that second guy afterwards with the cigar like it was fucking nothing. He even got so much false confidence that he thought he could overthrow Zheng when it was more than obvious that he had no chance at any point.
And imagine how terrifying that has to be for Ed? The soft man he once loved so dearly has turned into exactly what he himself has tried so hard to get rid off - only that HE clearly enjoys himself being that way.
Stede basically BRAGS to Ed about everything he has done, as if Ed hadn’t cleary shown how terrible and guilty he feels about all of his gruesome raids as Blackbeard.
I don‘t think Stede is a bad person at all but Jesus Christ, David Jenkins, get your man back on track, he‘s seriously scaring me.
I can‘t believe I will have to sit in a fucking college lecture tomorrow when the episodes air. I am so pissed I could scream. You‘re telling me I‘ll have to wait 4 extra hours till I get to see Ed and Stede‘s kiss on the battlefield, their silly date on land, them flirting for two eps straight and them even possibly dancing the devil‘s tango?! I think I‘m gonna cry.
#Stede touching his wife vs Ed
I just rewatched the ending scene of episode 5 for the [redacted]th time and still found myself giggling like a school girl. David Jenkins where art thou? I shall kiss thee on the lips!
The Our Flag Means Death to Loki whipslash is so insane. I am in utter shock lmao. It’s so terribly sad that it’s funny again.
*starts hyperventilating* a press photo of a different take of the kiss where ED is the one who has his hand in Stede’s hair?!
new OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH season two behind the scenes video, from the Max app!
Honestly, I feel like Lucius not being able to cope with his trauma and instead neurotically implanting Ed’s face into each and everyone of his drawings just describes us, the fandom, in a nutshell after these 5 episodes so far.
You’re laughing. A Catboy is holding a dead fish while kissing the love of his life in the moonlight - who, by the way, just had to give up on his new fancy coat because apparently it was cursed - and both of them are actively deciding to take it slower because they are investing in a healthy long term relationship, and you’re laughing.
Okay, but when are we gonna talk about the implication that Edward Teach literally composed the Glam-Rock song „Here I go again“ by Whitesnake 200 years before it came out in our world? Season 1 break-up singer-songwriter Ed Teach would be so proud that he accidentally created an 80s smash hit centuries after his time. It‘s giving „Laszlo Cravensworth and his Dear Lady Wife Nadja secretly wrote the original perverted versions of traditional folk songs“ or „Crowley was channeling his inner goth so Shakespeare got inspired and stole one of his lines“-vibes and I LOVE it!
okay confession time: when lucius got on one knee to propose, i first thought he was gonna give pete a blowjob 💀
Is this an unpopular opinion? {rhetorical}
What Izzy needs isn’t anything romantic. He needs community. He needs family. He needs his crew.
I really hope they don’t introduce a love interest in any form and I hope he heals from his unrequited love for ed.
Headcanon(?): Izzy becomes the captain for the revenge after ed and stede retire from piracy to run a restaurant/gift shop/inn. 👉👈
Idk I’m just word vomiting a little.
THIS!!!
