--if they don't take their rings off first.
I’d never heard of Stede Bonnet before Our Flag Means Death but from now on if I ever see Blackbeard in a movie or TV show I’m gonna be like ‘where’s his boyfriend Stede?’
BTS from Samba's baking class
Samba talked about a lot of cut scenes from ofmd s2 during his baking class today!!
- First and foremost, the original concept for Calypso's birthday was for it to be Lucius and Pete's wedding crashed by Ned Low. Roach and Wee John were going to play matchmaker to get Ed and Stede to hook up because there was too much sexual tension on the ship. Ed and Stede WERE going to dance. Roach is a huge Ned Low fan and there's a cut scene where he says this to Ned and in return Ned gives him a little extra torture as a reward. Con was originally going to sing 'At Last' by Etta James
- The thumb war was improvised, as well as Con's 'rude' in ep5, and the sandwich throw that hit Lucius was planned between Samba, Rhys, and Taika but no one else knew so that's why you can see Nate laughing in the background
- There was a cut scene (or multiple) where Buttons kept trying to go feral and escape to the sea in ep1, this is why he has a rope tied around his waist
- There was also a scene in ep 1 where they are first looking at their money jar and everyone pitches in what they were able to scrounge up or steal, and they imagine what their 'dream ship' would be like - Pete dreams of a ship where Lucius is alive, Roach dreams of a ship with a big kitchen
- There was a cut scene that confirmed the polycule, with Olu, Archie, and Jim all coming out of the bedroom together wearing just boxers
- The post-credit scene with Roach and Fang was going to be longer, and end with them drinking wine at Spanish Jackie's prior to the bar fight
- Overall, a lot of Jim & Olu scenes were cut, and Ed & Stede material from ep 6 was shifted around and put in eps 7/8.
If I missed anything please add on to this!
it's always over dinner :(
#this scene in s2 e8 reads as very silly at first like when you first watch it #but it's really really fucking sad to see him go thru this and experience the childhood flashbacks #like this is history's greatest pirate captain who never apologized for jack shit (his exact words) #and for every other person who's disrespected Ed he's ready to throw fuckin hands #like who tf do they think they're talking to?#you know what i mean #but here he is scrabbling in the dirt and begging mercy bc this guy reminded him of his dad and boom he's 12 yrs old again #he doesn't even fight back #just tries to get away and begs him to stop #saying sorry over and over
@xray-vex thank you for these tags that punched me right in the chest
cannot stop saying "dude im always saying this" after a friend says the most highly specific never-before said sentence
:/
Ed caressing Stede's face and chest
a quick summary of episodes 4 and 5 (x)
There is something so incredibly fucking sweet about Ed mirroring Stede when it comes to showing him affection.
Not just the "You wear fine things well" moment, but in going to check on Stede after killing Ned the same way Stede checked on Ed in the tub, making breakfast with marmalade the same way Stede brought him breakfast after the lighthouse thing in Season 1, like.
Stede has been the only one to show Ed such kind love, such soft and sweet and considerate love. Season 1 Ed only knew how to get affection from Stede by taking a sword to the gut, but Season 2 Ed has been replaying all those moments in his head just the way lovesick Stede was, and now that Stede's back the only thing Ed knows how to do is to mirror what has been the most earth shattering love he's ever experienced right back, because he doesn't know how else to show someone he loves them. It's so fucking endearing, and so real, and just.
Makes me excited for Season 3, ya know?
JESUS LORD CHRIST the way ed looks at stede the second the words "I'm your captain" are out of his mouth he looks like he's going to evaporate on the spot his eyes are SO HUGE
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS??????????
