yes i do think that, actually

do you think Ed chose to wear Buttons' old clothes because to him, Buttons was proof that a person could change, and he was ready to start believing that?

I really vibed with season 2 when I rewatched all the episodes in one sitting, but hot damn do I wish that Ed was doing well as a fisherman and then found one of Stede's letters and CHOSE to quit fishing to go back to him. That would have been so romantic and growth driven.

I just don't buy that he was an out of touch incompetent fisherman. He grew up poor and had actual skills and became captain by climbing the ranks. He wasn't born into leadership and didn't not know how to work. My biggest gripe. Also that pop pop scene was too long.

As someone who doesn’t live anywhere near NZ, I would love to see a map with what scene was filmed where around Auckland and the rest of NZ. Do you know if something like that exists?

Not a map, but a list absolutely does! It's on the official tourism website for New Zealand and you can find it here.

Imagine if Ed's flashback to him and Stede in S1 were from his POV and we got to see a shot of Stede's face from Ed's POV during the foot touch. During the snake beard extraction. During the kiss.

Listen, I know we're all talking about the beautiful editing in this scene right now. However, and that might be just a guess, I think Ed is killing someone here.

First off, look at the background. They aren't fighting anymore. This isn't an action packed raid scene where everybody is fighting against one another amidst the chaos of bloodshed. It's quiet, normal even. The fighting is over, and everyone is either checking their newly acquired loot or looking at Ed, who seems to be at the center of ship. Now see where the gun is pointed - it's down,

almost as if he is shooting someone who's kneeling.

That's not a warning shot and neither is it a fight, that's an execution. Ed is killing again (by his definition of killing I mean)

And I DEFINITELY am not implying that he has become super violent and angry or something like that (which I think is a very stupid, racist take and not in line with his previous characterization at all, but that's a whole other post), tbh I think it's exactly the opposite. He isn't angry at all, that's what's worrying me. There is a stone cold dead calm in him. I think he has given up.

That is, by letting go of one of his core principles (not killing), and therefore becoming the Kraken - he is personafying himself as his father's killer, trying to become the monster other people and himself believe him to be. I mean, LOOK AT HIS CLOTHES!!

He is wearing nine guns and is very much looking like a vampire clown. He's dressing up as a caricature of himself. He is doing all of that because - deep down - he thinks that's why Stede left him. Because when he finally laid his soul bare in front of him, Stede rejected him (so that surely must mean that he saw something he did not like in there). To Ed, Stede finally "sees him now" as the monster he really is. A monster who isn't deserving of fine things, or luxuries such as not killing. So when he becomes the Kraken, after Izzy does That Whole Thing, he gives up trying to fight for them.

Thing is, the Kraken is not really killing other people, at least narratively speaking (sorry Lucius). Killing is a tool he is using to let go of the part of him that longs for Stede, love and all the fine things that he can't have - and the part of him that is just so, so hurt by not having them. The Kraken isn't killing others, it's killing Ed.

So it's no wonder that we see him kill at a wedding of all places. It's the embodyiment of everything he has ever wanted and lost so far. Extravagant dresses, good food, fancy stuff and, most of all - love.

#our flag means death #i was definitely picturing him shooting the cake

I'm excited to continue saying "ed did nothing wrong" in the discourse as he murders 7 innocent straight couples a day so he can make self insert stede fanfic with their caketoppers
