I was wondering why I keep writing Ed putting his arms around Stede's shoulders and then I remembered. I'm so attached to that gesture because he DID THAT.

And it kinda comforted me, in a way - I don't think I'll ever be able to stop going nuts about the way these two touch each other even in the limited amount of episodes we have simply because I'm so used to queerbaiting that my brain kinda assumes I HAVE to be making up some of it.

Something consistently missing in discussion of Ned Low’s death is that Low HAS TO DIE. He will come back. He will try to kill Ed again. He will try to destroy the Revenge. He will go after his old crew. No one will be safe with him around.

Ed cannot kill him. That will destroy Ed. The crew could kill him, yes, but Stede is the captain. Stede steps forward not to “prove his masculinity” but to protect the man he loves, to protect his crew, and to protect himself. Low absolutely strikes at his insecurities, but Stede is fucking sacrificing a part of himself for the people he loves.

Stede’s also ANGRY. He’s watched those he cares for tortured, he nearly died, and he listens to Low mock and belittle Ed. He’s PISSED OFF.

I know we don’t want Stede to be some traditional masculine hero, and he’s NOT. But he is allowed to be hurt and he is allowed to be angry and he is allowed to protect people. Which is what he does when he kills Low.
