one of the best parts of ofmd to me is that Ed hadn’t even seen Stede or heard anything particularly intriguing about him. He just heard “gentleman pirate” and was like yeeeeees so true im tired of fuckboys I deserve a gentleman and then he went and got that for himself. manifest.
For anyone wondering Our Flag Means Death is really good.
[ID : Drawing of Stede Bonnet and Blackbeard (Edward Teach), the drawings work as a pair, each character back to back and a sword that Blackneard is shoving through his chest, coming out of his chest, not much blood is shown. Both are tied with rope as if to one-another. The first drawing of Stede is one of a white man ,with short blonde hair and a frilly white shirt and cravat, and a blue vest and pants, holding a hand over his chest, the sword coming through it, he’s looking pained to the left, as if to see behind him. Ed is wearing dark leather clothes with his left arm bare showing his tatoos, he has long grey curly grey hair, with white strands, he is wearing dark makeup around his eyes and mouth to mimic a beard, tear tracks are shown in the makeup, dried.]
controversial opinion perhaps but i think ed and stede should kiss again. here is why
they’re in love
they deserve it
specifically i think they should get a chance to kiss when neither of them are surprised about it (which they both were i think the first time) and i think they should get a chance to kiss when it’s a deliberate choice. to be fair though i also think stede should get a chance to surprise ed by kissing him because that’s equality. also i think they should get to kiss enough times so that it can continue to be awkward but get better over time as they learn more about what they like and what they like together, which they deserve after so long of being told they can’t have what they like, and so we can have gifsets titled “ed and stede’s kisses getting better over time,” which we deserve just because we’re neat. let me know if there are any questions. thanks,
I love the idea of Ed as stepdad to Stede’s kids so much that I had a dream it was canon and it took me a solid 10 minutes after waking up to remember it wasn’t.
