Really, it’s a good thing Matt Murdock married Foggy right after law school. Who knows what messy and dangerous relationships he would have gotten into otherwise? Doesn’t bear thinking about.
“that kiss was awkward” “it has a bad angle” “they look so off” my brothers in christ they are two emotionally repressed middle aged men who had never known what romantic love is, did you think they would immediately be experts at making out this is actually perfect ☠️
okay yes so This because???? i don’t think Ed was planning to kiss Stede even a little bit and I FOR SURE do not think Stede was aware that he was going to get kissed.
Ed just says his whole fckn “I reckon what makes Ed happy is… you” and he didn’t maybe actually mean to say that out loud but then Stede Heart-Eyes Bonnet gives him that look and starts smiling slowly and starts to talk with his little “well, that’s-“ and then Ed kisses him because fuckoff, Stede, no, you do not get to say anything it is kissing time.
like did you see how stede didn’t kiss him back at first
did you
did you know that that’s because HE DIDN’T SEE IT COMING?
and then he fuckin. Ed practically climbs into Stede’s lap the second Stede starts kissing him back. Ed is trying so hard to make it a good kiss and change the angle but Stede is just kissing the fuck out of whatever part of Ed’s mouth he can find and personally I love that for them.
it was the best kiss of Stede’s life definitely and probably Ed’s too and the awkwardness of the angle could not have mattered less to either of them I am TELLING you
OP is right they are emotionally repressed and I cannot conceivably love them more for being like that. Thanks for tuning in to listen to my thoughts that exactly 0 people asked for.
(PS @davidjenkins please fix this I am begging you)
some thoughts re: real life stede bonnet using “captain edwards” as an alias - I am absolutely convinced stede is gonna do this in season 2. like logically….he can’t exactly go around announcing he’s stede bonnet anymore, can he? he’s dead!! he has to keep a low profile, at least for long enough that people will stop believing theres a chance he’s still alive. he’s going to have to come up with an alias for the first few months of his new pirate career AT LEAST. and you simply cannot deny naming himself “edwards” (the invisible possessive apostrophe is DEAFENING) is just the perfect level of pathetically cheesy shit this newly awakened Romantic Hero Stede Bonnet would pull. I can just imagine his smug little grin now as he announces his new identity to the crew as every single one of them rolls their eyes and groans. he’s so embarrassing <3 it’s literally perfect
little hatchy sketch of Ed my beloved since my Crowley one has been making the rounds again recently (and because this silly little pirate show has me in a goddamn chokehold)
Not to sound like a 90s shallow prep, but how you dress can affect your self esteem, and putting energy into wearing things you actively like and projecting an ideal of yourself through fashion instead of seeing clothes as things you have to put on out of obligation helps.
It also can give you a sense of control over your appearance that you otherwise wouldn’t have lmao
I bought a cape because of this
this post is written in a humorous tone but this is the realest shit.
two years ago i wore baggy sweatpants and flip flops every day because i was depressed but then decided eh to hell with it and bought some black edgy emo clothes bc thats how i always wanted to dress but never got a chance to and it was only then that i realized that the sweatpants flip flops look was just keeping me in my depression funk. i didnt like the way i looked and i didnt identify with the clothes i was wearing and it only made me feel worse.
i then went through my entire wardrobe and got rid of everything that made me feel that way.
now i have multiple outfit possibilities requiring different levels of effort but on days where putting on clothes just seems like a project i just have to put on black jeans and a band t-shirt and i can still feel good about the way i look which is a really good way to start off my day.
i can not recommend this approach to clothing enough.
Can I just say this is the healthiest mindset related post I have seen on this sight and I want every single person on here to read this
Yo, as someone approaching 30 I thought for the longest time I was “too old” to follow my goth dreams but you know what? I saw Taliesin Jaffe and Satine Phoenix and David Tennant as Anthony Janthony Crowley rocking the goth style in one way or another and I said dammit if they can do it so can I. So I do. I’m out today wearing clothes that make me happy just being in them rather than just wearing clothes that cover me suitably, and it is the biggest difference in the world.
Chase your joy. Wear clothes that make you feel good.
