The best notes written in manuscripts by medieval monks

Colophon: a statement at the end of a book containing the scribe or owner’s name, date of completion, or bitching about how hard it is to write a book in the dark ages

Oh, my hand

The parchment is very hairy

Thank God it will soon be dark

St. Patrick of Armagh, deliver me from writing

Now I’ve written the whole thing; for Christ’s sake give me a drink

Oh d fuckin abbot

Massive hangover

Whoever translated these Gospels did a very poor job

Cursed be the pesty cat that urinated over this book during the night

If someone else would like such a handsome book, come and look me up in Paris, across from the Notre Dame cathedral

I shall remember, O Christ, that I am writing of Thee, because I am wrecked today

Do not reproach me concerning the letters, the ink is bad and the parchment scanty and the day is dark

11 golden letters, 8 shilling each; 700 letters with double shafts, 7 shilling for each hundred; and 35 quires of text, each 16 leaves, at 3 shilling each. For such an amount I won’t write again

Here ends the second part of the title work of Brother Thomas Aquinas of the Dominican Order; very long, very verbose; and very tedious for the scribe; thank God, thank God, and again thank God

If anyone take away this book, let him die the death, let him be fried in a pan; let the falling sickness and fever seize him; let him be broken on the wheel, and hanged. Amen

Guys I’m having so much fun. Being a good omens fan is so good because even when we lose we win and even when we win we lose. We won the tumblr “queerbait to canon” wars unequivocally. We literally have Michael Sheen and David Tennant AND they became best friends. And yet it’s the worst and loserliest show of ALL time. I’m having a ball in this bitch.

Right, the lack of literary analysis on this website is kind of astounding. And I understand most people on here are young still or didn’t have the opportunity to study complex writing at a university level so let’s just take a second to review why everyone might be overreacting, and while sad, this was an excellent and moving ending for Izzy and the season.

Was it rushed? Yes, but that wasn’t the writing staff at fault. They did the best they could in so little time and still made it meaningful despite time restrictions.

Did Izzy have to die? Yes, he says so himself. Ed isn’t Blackbeard, in case you all missed that. Blackbeard is just “a good pirates tale” that is Izzy and Ed TOGETHER. Izzy can’t be Blackbeard without Ed because Ed is the face of Blackbeard. Ed can’t be Blackbeard without Izzy because Izzy is the personality of Blackbeard. As long as they’re both alive and together, Blackbeard will always exist. We get a little taste of this in season 1 when Ed is arrested, but without Ed’s softness, Izzy isn’t a good captain and without Izzy’s constant reality checks, Ed was going full manic pixie dream girl. You need both for Blackbeard.

Is Izzy a father figure to Ed? Yes, because you need to replace father figure here with creator. It’s just a literary stand in term. Izzy made Blackbeard to protect Ed because Ed is soft. You can see the same relationship reflected in Zheng and Auntie. Auntie is the brains of the operation and makes Zheng harder because she’s worried about her softness getting her hurt the same way Izzy sees it as Ed’s weakness. You can also think of it as Izzy=Auntie/Oluande=Stede/Zheng=Ed and the story probably makes a little more sense. It doesn’t matter if Izzy is in love with Ed, Frenchie, wee John, or any of the others, he is still Blackbeard’s creator and protector and therefore the “father figure” he has to learn to carry on without.

Why is Izzy’s redemption so meaningful? Because they switched places and suddenly he was the softness of Blackbeard and Ed was the harshness. Izzy finally saw why living life this way was so important to Ed, and he finally understood what he was keeping Ed from by forcing Blackbeard to stay alive. He finally understood that feeling of family and belonging that Ed was chasing all of these years. He finally understood Ed. Unfortunately, though, the prince doesn’t get to stay a pauper forever. Eventually he has to go back and apply the lessons he learned to real life, and for Izzy that was realizing for either of them to be happy, Blackbeard has to die. So he sacrifices himself to let Ed go free because he loves him. Izzy understands Ed’s unhappiness is because of Blackbeard and that was the whole plan anyway, to kill Blackbeard. It’s why Izzy was even on the revenge in the first place. So Izzy did what any good “father figure” would do and gives his life so Ed could live. We’ve seen people on this show survive worse, and I believe if he wanted to, he could have, but he didn’t want to survive. He even says “I want to go.” He made the choice. That single choice to put others first was the culmination of his redemption.

Couldn’t Izzy have just captained the ship and Ed still retired to his inn? No. The show has proven time and time again, only Blackbeard can lead a pirate ship. Ed and Izzy are crap doing it alone.

I know it’s just a silly little pirate show, but the writing is excellent, and if you just put a little thought into it, you can understand that Izzy dying was such an astounding and beautiful act of selfless love for everyone on that crew. He did his job as the new unicorn and set every single one of them free from Blackbeard.
