#izzie is amazing

This observation has been made before but it remains hilarious:

Fanon: Lucius is in the walls, protected by the crew who make sure Ed doesn't know about his survival.

Canon: Izzy is in the walls, protected by the crew who make sure Ed doesn't know about his survival.

The funniest thing that could happen in ofmd season 2 is Stede and Izzy hanging out so much they accidentally become best friends and both absolutely horrified when someone (definitely Oluwande or Jim) points it out to them.

Like I can definitely see a situation happening where Stede goes off into danger and Izzy is adamant that he’s not going after him to help but it immediately cuts to a scene of him going after him and all you can hear is him going “stupid fucking Stede Bonnet” like we know he’d say something like that.

Enemies who grow to care about each other is my favourite thing.

#sure it’s funny to have them hate each other #but enemies to best friends sounds amazing #especially if they still act like they despise each other #ed would be so baffled lmao #stede and izzy as besties who love and hate each other #our flag means death #ofmd #ofmd season 2 #ofmd s2 #stede bonnet #the gentleman pirate #israel hands #izzy hands #ofmd oluwande #ofmd jim #jim jimenez

Y'know what? I'm kinda tired, at this point. I've written many metas before and I'll write many more, but at the end of the day, do you know why I know the writers of OFMD want us to like Ed? Because he's a romantic lead in a romcom and they wrote him to be easily sympathetic and likeable. You know why I figure they intended us to read Izzy's actions as antagonistic before his s2 arc? Because they wrote him to have antagonistic actions. It really is just that simple and I'm absolutely shocked there's even differing opinions here.

And it's frustrating, because I often feel like I can't really talk about Izzy the way I want to. I really like Izzy, I think he's hilarious and a lot of fun and I genuinely enjoy his s2 arc a lot, especially on rewatches and knowing how it ends. But I feel like I always have to waste time spelling out how Izzy is a supporting character and his arc in s2 was more about proving that Stede's philosophy wins, in the end, and granting Ed closure and proving people can grow and change, and not about how it was about proving Izzy is the specialest character ever who never did anything wrong. He's not special here, EVERY supporting character serves the purpose of supporting our leads' arcs. That's why they're in the story; I loved Buttons but I'm not complaining about him turning into a seagull just to show Ed that people can change.

Just, like, if you're constantly bending over backwards to defend one of the only stereotypically masc White guys on the show, especially when it involves mischaracterizing and villifying our indigenous lead, I just think you might not actually like the show very much at best and you might also need to take a look at some of your personal biases.

Someone in a YT comment was like “I’m obsessed with the way Izzy writes her name” so I looked closer and

If you want further evidence of Ed being fully cognizant of what Izzy did to him and to Stede, let us take his comment that Izzy's leg is "up in leg heaven."

This line recalls Izzy's insistence the Ed murder Stede and send him to "doggy heaven." It was a breaking point, leading to Ed's confession of his father's murder, and then to Izzy himself attempting to kill Stede. It relates Ed's physical violence against Izzy to the violence of trying to remove Stede.

Their conversation goes on:

"Have you come to take the other one?" "I think one's quite enough."

Izzy did try to take something intrinsic to Ed, and that was "quite enough." He justifies having Stede shot by firing squad: "This is a humane way of ending it. It's quick, it's clean. Edward, you know that." He's blind to Ed's suffering, and is fully expecting Ed to agree with him. He's removing a healthy limb, ripping something away that's an intrinsic part of Ed's self, and saying that it's for Ed's own good.

"I think one's quite enough" is a reminder of that moment. It is quite enough to have a part of himself ripped away for no reason, and now Izzy has experienced that too.

In both instances, Izzy does fail to kill Stede, but the trauma he inflicts on Ed still leaves a mark. During the duel, Ed fully shuts down, clinging to the rigging and rocking himself back and forth. He only starts to recover when he realizes Stede has survived. In the firing squad scene, he panics until he finally shouts "act of grace." He only recovers when he realizes that Stede is going to live.

But now there's no act of grace. Stede is gone, and Ed is fully preparing himself to die. In the depths as he is, Ed wants to see Izzy panic. He wants to see him shut down. He wants him to feel a fraction of the pain he felt when Izzy tried to sever Stede from him.

It’s very much “You took him from me. Now just kill me.”

[snorzyy]

people bitch about fan service but the second a show does something the audience doesnt like everyone goes apeshit. yes this is about izzy’s death, but it’s also about go2 when aziraphale left with the metatron. there’s a reason these things happen, and your favourite tv show isnt always going to go just how you want it to without flaws.

#izzys death was tragic and yeah im sad about it but the way some ppl are posting about it on here are making me so angry #the importance and value of the show is not undermined by one thing happening that you dont like #can we please for the love of fucking god just celebrate how amazing it was that we got another season? #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd s2 #taika waititi #rhys darby

Hasbro heard about Monster High making a comeback and they came out mad as FUCK with these dolls

#holy FUCK #mlp #mlp g5 #equestria girls #i literally havent been this hyped for a doll line in a long time. maybe ever. fucking look at them #they look amazing #how did we go from g4 eqg dolls to THESE #theyre BEAUTIFUL #srry i said text posts were done but this is pony related so its fine #LOOK AT THEM #the face sculpts and screenings. the different heights. the clothing silohettes. the ARTICULATION #buying these the FUCKING SECOND they go on sale. I MUST HAVE THEM #g5 toyline in general has been pretty disappointing and cheap. these have absolutely blown my expectations out of the WATER #not art #sunny is my favorite. her design is amazing #translating the rainbow hair stripe to be on her shirt instead. fantastic #only question is why is izzy the shortest one when shes the tallest pony? but thats not really a complaint. just an observation #look at izzys cute ass boots. the bunny ears.... #the clothes are arill hasbro quality and will probably be papery and whatever #but im more focused on the actual designs since im just gonna be displaying them and not really touching them

i am not normal about the calypso episode i will never be normal about the calypso episode. something something queer joy and love and found family and you can't ruin that or take it away. finding yourself and expressing yourself fully for the first time and finding a group of people that will not mock you but encourage you with every last breath left in their lungs. seeing all of those unique and amazing people gathered to see you perform. fully for perhaps the first time realising that there was never something wrong with you, something was wrong with the world for not accepting you as you are, worthy and deserving of love. you are the unicorn. i am mentally unwell i shall never recover.

#this is so clear to me ned tried to fuck with them and immediately got iced #and stede's first real kill of the series being a racist asshole who interrupted something that was such a joyful and queer and amazing- #celebration is so so special to me #yes you tortured my crew but most importantly you fucked calypso's birthday #this amazing space of acceptance and revelry #and we've been threatened by your kind before #and we've been scared for our lives any time we were forced to enter one of your spaces well guess what #this was our space you entered and our boundary you violated and the punishment is death #there is no place for one of you here #we will not let you take away what we so painstakingly carved out for ourselves #izzy hands #stede bonnet #our flag means death #ofmd

i think the reason young edizzy is so compelling is bc its like: i knew you when you were a boy, i knew you when you were a man, i knew you before you became legend and fairy-tale and self-made monster. i knew you when you had scraped knees and not enough to eat and we bonded over the bruises on our wrists like they were war trophies and not the last signs of our youth. i knew you were running away, i was too. i knew you, i saw me in you. 

#i knew you were going to be amazing #and i didnt want to get left behind #now look! #my worst fears realized #edizzy #izzy hands

[thelighthouseandthekraken]

I was just scrolling through the Izzy tag and I'm flabbergasted that so many people apparently think Izzy is homophobic and terrible.

Like you don't have to like him but like...that man is queer idk.

Yeah Izzy is a main antagonist but he's so well written and obviously acting out of pain imo...Like as if this show isn't about people working through/acting out of their various traumas? Izzy isn't exempt from that. He's made some bad choices and hurt people but so has Ed and Stede? They're all traumatized and hurt.

I'm not trying to excuse Izzy's behaviour, he was written as an antagonist in purpose, but to act like he doesn't have depth and pain is bizarre imo. He isn't the British Navy.

#Also Con O'Neill is a joy to watch and does amazing things with the role #izzy hands #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd analysis #edward teach #stede bonnet
