Thinking about how much Ed and Stede still have to learn about each other. The show makes it clear they get each other, they understand each other better than anyone else does. But these boys have so much healing to do still, even now that they both know they're all in.

I still don't think Stede really fully grasps just how low Ed was, how he was so utterly convinced he was unloveable that he was ready to die. Ed is so used to accepting the worst other people have to offer him, it's going to feel weird when he gets nothing but softness and understanding and unconditional love from Stede! I wouldn't be surprised if he struggles with it - something about how the anger and shouting and violence he's used to were at least predictable, and now he feels out of his element.

And Ed doesn't know just how deep Stede's self-worth issues lay, that Stede is used to other people never valuing him. Stede often comes across as so confident (he's got "fake-it-till-you-make-it" down to an art), it's easy to forget he's used to putting himself down and was so ready to believe everything Chauncey told him back in s1e9. Stede's going to really have to work at confronting these deep-seated beliefs he has about himself, especially now he's got a boyfriend who treasures his every word.

And I'm thinking about Stede telling Ed about the cursed suit: "it's a long story" (and I don't want to bore you, because I bore everyone, so I'll skip to the end), and Ed all but pouting when he says "that wasn't a long story at all" (you couldn't bore me, I want to hear everything you have to say). They'll be alright.
