#he switches his song to Roses by Adam Lambert (read the lyrics and you'll see why i chose it)

I. I think I have a decent finished draft for the first day of the upcoming Our Flag fan event with those drag based prompts that's coming up later in the month but. Oh. I made myself sad for Izzy in the process 🥺

#text post #it's sad in like. a bittersweet way #Izzy's had Ed break up with him again along with Stede (they're a package deal and a package break up too) #and it's implied he's been doing shows for a bit now with John and the rest of the crew at Jackie's in this modern au version of things #and inviting them every time but the two of them often don't show or are late #the day one prompt is roses so i had it be that the show theme is flowers with izzy set to sing la vie en rose BUT #after stede and ed show they aren't paying attention/really caring abt the show or making it to it #he switches his song to Roses by Adam Lambert (read the lyrics and you'll see why i chose it) #and has Archie and Jim help him rig up one of those fake vomit kits you can hide in your sleeve and control with a button #because he's also adding the hanahaki trope to the performance to essentially force himself to vomit out his feelings #abt ed and stede and their lack of care onstage. the 'vomit' is just rose water and crushed v tiny rose petal fragments #and he performs beautifully and the crowd Gets It even if they don't obviously know all the details #and then as he staggers backstage in that post dramatic performance haze #he sees a huge arrangement of roses left on his spot in the dressing area that are clearly so expensive as to be from ed and stede #implying that even after they promised again really this time to make it #they didn't. and all that he got was roses. to quote the song lol #i desperately want to publish it now but i think i should wait until the day of the prompt even if they allow early publishing #It could probably use another edit first anyway that i can do in the meantime but. yeah. #went in to write something fun and Oops All Sad instead 😭
