Can‘t believe tomorrow is THE day. Already sobbing in preparation.

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.
#ofmd#our flag means death#personal#me#the thing is: the lecture is optional too. but I kind of really really need it#it‘s still orientation week and I have no idea how college works so I like to take every chance for some introductory lectures I can get#i can‘t believe I‘m already emotionally over college despite not even having my first regular day yet#i just wanna go home and watch my gay pirates please#*cries*

#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?!
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.
#they mean so much to me#I wish I were kidding#but seriously I even posted on my personal Instagram about them today#and all of my old high school aquaintances follow me on there and god it was a mistake but#that just goes to show how serious I am about this okay?!#I just want to cuddle both of them and sob#ofmd#our flag means death#edward teach#stede bonnet#gentlebeard#ofmd season 2#blackbonnet#ofmd s2 spoilers
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!

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!!!
The new press release photos are everything 😭
I mean hello?? Emo Wee John?! In a knitted sweater???
The crew most likely receiving the “listen guys I know you’ll all have a hard time adjusting to this, but Ed is alive and he’s here to stay and I expect you to treat him with kindness” aka “our divorced gay dads are back together and now we have to pretend like dad 2 didn’t constantly scream at all of us when dad 1 ran away” talk
New theory about this picture: they just caught Ed and Stede making out 🤭 (also what is that new wedding cake doing there, huh??? 👀)

hey guys we’re gonna be seeing ed and stede talk tomorrow. like face to face. how are we feeling? everyone holding up? sound off if you’re dead.
#literally hyperventilating at the thought#if anyone is wondering why I’m so quiet on here in the hight of my hyperfixation:#I’m currently spam posting on my tiktok account#it just has a different username#I use my birth name there and my rl friends follow me sooo#I don’t think I can share it here.#but funny thing: someone who sometimes likes my posts also liked one of my tiktoks without even realizing it :D#it’s a small world in fandom culture#anyways love ya all and I’ll still spam my tumblr#just less frequently :)#ofmd#our flag means death
Okay but guys, why do I see no one talking about their new flag from the S2E4 preview??? It’s a golden cat.
A golden.
Cat.
This makes me so optimistic that they are all indeed starting to heal as a group, even if slowly.
I mean… look at them. They are a family 😭
They embrace that they are soft. They aren’t the pirates with the cruel flag of the devil, the blood and the spear anymore, they are what they have always been: a lovely, queer group of people who really care about each other.
It’s not about the piracy. It’s never been about the piracy.
And the fact that even Izzy stands there waiting for the flag to get raised without trying to stop anyone is just beautiful.
He’s a dick, but he’s their dick.
I hope you all know that I am fully expecting to see some golden cat flags at pride next year because this is their pride flag! How much gayer can you get than having a golden cat sorrounded by golden light beams on a flag?!
