a time to write poems
and admire the sky
the seasons are changing
warm weather goodbye
now rain and chai lattes
crunchy leaves and tattoos
the crisp days are coming
are you ready too? 🍂

Y'know, I was rewatching pieces of both Season 1 and Season 2 for an analysis I was considering, and it struck me that there is indeed a tonal shift between seasons (without it violating the development of the characters or the overall ethos of the show) as love and desire stop being marked by fantasy and become...real.
So much of Stede and Ed's early romance is framed with romance and fairytale tropes - the meet-cute/deus ex machina, the Prince and Pauper switch, the full moon "fine things" conversation, the break-up/divorce speech Stede gives the crew when Ed leaves with Jack, the casting of Izzy as the villainous complication and the English as the encroaching threat.
Then something shifts with "Act of Grace" and the kiss on the beach - the physical and emotional declaration that "this is real" between them. It stops being fantasy - it stops being Stede's fantasy, which was romantic and clean and largely sexless, and it stops being Ed's fantasy, which was to get to be a part of a different world and change what he thought was his fate - and becomes true. It becomes untidy and complicated, but deepens with every moment. There are hints of it building throughout the first season, but with the end of "Act of Grace" and "Wherever You Go," the fantasy falls away and leaves desire and heartache and hope.
Season 2 makes them messy and hurt and angry and so deeply joyful with each other. There's no more wealth and no more toy boat and no more full moons, but there is a dream that saves Ed's life, a kiss under a gibbous moon, passion born from pain and such intense love, and a home where neither thought a home could be.
The fantasy breaks, but pieces of it remain, and what's underneath is so much better.

Hard to believe I was walking through 2+ feet of snow on the Big Creek trail a mere two weeks ago!

I’m not sure what’s more entertaining, Etho sharing a photo his setup after being ranked as the weirdest play style, or Mumbo adding more and more safety cables to his fingers in an attempt to play Minecraft normally. Which makes him feel unwell in the process
