We don’t deserve Nathan Foad.

Some happy gay pirates for you, Feat. Ed’s regrowing beard.

Ed does like to look at the pictures, but mostly he likes to hold onto Stede while he reads to him.

He's looking at a fancily-dressed blond man, who's having a hell of time trying to figure out how to use the launderette washing machine. ✨✨

We all saw the pics, it had to be drawn!

[But just in case you didn't, reference pic under the cut, and a time lapse for funsies!]

t4t peanut pirates for pride!

[ID: a drawing in the Peanuts style of Ed and Stede walking together, holding up a big trans pride flag. Ed has his hair in a ponytail, and is wearing a purple crop top, a black kilt with rainbow pleats, and black shoes. He’s smiling widely with his eyes crinkled up, and there’s trans flag face paint on his cheek. Stede is also smiling widely, with trans flag face paint on his opposite cheek. He’s wearing a magenta shirt patterned with the depression robe print, teal pants, and shoes with rainbow soles. the background of the image is a pastel rainbow gradient with little white sparkles sprinkled over it]

OK, enough about that other guy—STEDE BONNET. I love how, after the French captain scene, Stede goes to check on Ed and the things that he doesn't do. He asks if Ed is OK and notes that the captain got under his skin, but then doesn't push further when Ed denies it. He doesn't ask for explanations, he doesn't request that Ed tell him why he reacted as he did. He doesn't remark on the silk, if he noticed it, because Ed concealed it quickly. When Ed does talk about what bothered him about the French captain, Stede doesn't condescend; he explains what he understood to be going on, and compares it to piracy—making it another form of violence and tacitly agreeing that Ed was right to react to it as he did.

We see that Ed's space gets invaded a lot and that his emotions get questioned quite a lot, but Stede never invades and never questions. He doesn't need Ed to justify himself, he doesn't ask for justifications, he doesn't force Ed to share anything he doesn't want to. His immediate response is always that if Ed reacts in a certain way, there's good reason for it, and if he doesn't want to talk about, he doesn't have to. Ed's emotional state is not for him to control or question, and through Stede making him feel safe, Ed is then able to talk through his own emotions. (And we see this through both seasons!)

We’re joined to one another. Intertwined 💕

HAPPY PRIDE from the tiny pirates!!! 🌈🌈🌈 ty eli @bird-divorce for helping me figure out stede's elton john-inspired fit <3

(individual frames below the cut if you wanna see, the gif crunched the quality a lil)

Please share this pic wherever you like posting, and remember to use the tags too ❤️

Nobody else could have played Stede quite like this. Rhys Darby balanced comedy and drama with incredible skill. He made this character loveable & optimistic, heartfelt & funny, whilst also being complex & flawed. A truly masterful performance!

not people thinking they can escape heartache. avoiding it at all cost is itself a form of it
