Stede getting carried away with all the affirmation and attention he receives after killing Ned, especially after a lifetime of being bullied and belittled and not taken seriously and being treated like a failure, isn't some striking indictment of him as a person or something that makes him bad or irredeemable.

It's the most understandably human thing in the world.

The tendency to get swept up in people being nice to you, and making you feel good, even if at heart you might know it's fleeting or unhealthy, is probably one of the most common human flaws. And it's especially something that gets you if you're someone who has experienced bullying and rejection. I know for a fact it's a weakness I have (especially as someone who has, like Stede, spent a lot of my life being bullied and made to feel small), and I don't know many people who wouldn't at least struggle a little bit with it.

It's not just generally common in people, it's something we see throughout the show itself. Black Pete is desperate for adulation and approval. We see Ed get carried away at the fancy party in almost an exact mirror of Stede in the Republic of Pirates. It's such a predictable human thing that Zheng uses it as a tried and tested strategy to manipulate people. Heck, even Stede exploits it in Izzy by flattering him with talk of 'Blackbeard said you taught him everything he knows and made him the captain he is today!'.

Seeing Stede get carried away in the Republic of Pirates almost makes him more endearing to me because it's such a recognisable and understandable misstep for him to make (just like it was when Ed made that same misstep at the fancy party) given both his history and the fact that he's a human being.

Stede is a fundamentally good and kind person who has some serious and realistic flaws because he's a brilliantly written well-rounded character, and that's why I love him.

'You're gonna stab me in my back right in front of me?' is a really underrated line this season.

not enough conversation in this fandom abt how right when zheng officially joined the polycule the rest of the polycule’s boss picked a fight with zheng and in the course of this fight archie started laughing at a random bystander who got hit with a bottle that the boss guy threw and then the bystander got mad and threw something at archie and nailed her right in the face and then jim was like “OH FUCK NO” and started attacking and then it turned into an all-out brawl of a bar fight. like this is all within five minutes of everyone agreeing to move in with zheng. she barely even knows archie and jim yet. this is basically her official introduction to the two of them.

there is no doubt in my mind that this is going to be the healthiest relationship zheng’s ever been in.

Stede. Honey. Baby. Girl. How ARE you?

Seriously, I want to know what he was thinking while doing this. How is he seemingly dealing so well with maiming others now.

Hold on, why do yall think Stede's choice to kill Ned was a WHIM?????

First of all, this isnt the first time Stede got someone killed. Chuancy was an accident, but he did use the stun move. All of ep 2 s1 was about Stede learning how to deal with it. He still feels bad but as he told the natives. He dosen't feel bad that Chauncey is dead. His crew was under threat. So he stopped Badminton from hurting them. His bad feelings came from somewhere else.

Nighel Badminton got himself killed but it did make Stede run back home and face his problems. When he does go back home he tells the other rich guys.

"I've seen death. Been the cause of it. It changes you."

He already knows what it's like be a killer!

But everytime it wasn't his choice. The Badmintons were accidents. He never got to actually choose to be a killer.

That's why when Ned Low invaded his "safe space ship", captured his crew (family) and tortured not only them but also The Love of his Life, Making it into a fucked up PERFORMANCE! All his life bullies found fun in torturing him. Why would this guy be any different.

Hell yeah he was ready to kill him.

Of course, this time he gets to choose. This is not him using a stun move. He is now the conducter of Ned's death and he'll be damned if it's not done His Way.

He's not gonna stab him. It's not gonna be messy. It's not gonna be fast like a gunshot or a stab through the head.

He is going to make Ned SUFFER. Force him to walk the plank. Throw his precious violin in his face and let him drown. It's clean. It's poetic. It's outsourcing the big job to nature. Just like killing spiders.

But Ned continues to demean him. "You know once you kill me your a real pirate. Your not an amateur anymore." Even after everything Stede has been through. Not matter how much he's grown, the world still thinks he's playing at pirating.

The Badmintons dont count.

EVEN ED THINKS SO!

"Once you've killed in cold blood. You cant come back."

Well Chuancy's death was cold blooded wasn't it? Stede snuck him from behind. The boat fire that he caused isn't enough either. When Ed burns a boat, it's murder. But when Stede does it it's "quirky". Stede ALREADY considered himself a killer but NO ONE ELSE DOES. (not even the fandom apparently.)

Yes, he wanted to prove himself. But I don't think that was the thought process until Ned brought it up.

Stede did not hesitate on Ned's death until the others made him question himself. He was completely set on making sure Ned wasn't a threat to his ship. He was so sure of making him walk the plank. It was PLANNED from the moment he put the plank down and the other boat left. What's one more death? But then everyone was treating him like a innocent child?? Like he's doing something unlike him?

He HAD TO PROVE to everyone in that moment that he could kill Ned because no one RECOGNIZED that he was ALREADY a killer.

Him killing Ned became a point to make once he realized there was even a point to be made.

The only reason that he felt even a little bad about it was because Ed asked him not to. He felt like he let Ed down. That maybe Edward like Stede Bonnet, Landed Gentry Pretending to Be A Pirate more than Stede Bonnet, Real Pirate. Because he realized how much he's changed. No more Gentleman, now he's just a Pirate.

That's why he Sped Things Up with Ed. He wanted Ed to prove that he could handle not so innocent Stede FUCKING Bonnet. That he wouldn't leave Stede after seeing this new side of him. He gets consent and then goes on to have the man of his dreams after saving him. How romantic male lead of him.

Of course the NEXT FUCKING DAY HE GETS TOLD IT WAS A MISTAKE!!!! THAT HE'S NOT READY FOR "WHATEVER THIS IS".

How on earth was Stede not supposed to take this as "I dont like the you that isn't soft, isn't insecure, isnt in need of protection." That Ed is leaving to become a fisherman because he cant stand Stede being the messy one for once in his life.

Maybe it was trauma. Maybe it was a show of toxic masculinity. But dont pretend like Stede did it on a WHIM.

If morocco can boycott starbucks out of existence we can too

Just a reminder we are only drinking (Keurig/DrPepper)

We are not getting PUP CUPS from Starbucks. Get whipped cream from the store.

WE ARE NOT. BUYING NEW IPHONES. UNLESS WE ARE IN DIRE CONTRAINTS. (Job, Endangered Home Life, News Coverage)

AND WE ARE NOT EATING AT MCDONALDS. USE THEIR SPACES AND THEIR WIFI TO MAKE POSTS. SCREAM FROM THE ROOFTOPS. MAKE EATING THERE HELL. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

And truly try to not make as many amazon purchases as is required in this life. I know thats a hard ask but strive for it. Please

We are losing people. We lost Bisan. A man set himself on FIRE just to keep the attention of the atrocities ongoing in his home. We have to keep listening. We have to keep watching.

Palestine needs us. The Congo needs us.

"From river to sea, Palestine will be free."

One thing that I absolutely love is that Ed is not, for one single second, jealous of Stede's newfound fame. It would have been so easy for the writers to use that as the point of tension between them, to have Ed struggle with Stede suddenly being famous and people being more interested in him than Blackbeard, but there's not a single iota of it to be found. That sort of jealousy is just not a thing that exists in the equation of their relationship.

Look at him here. Although he initially assumes that the group of admirers is looking for him, when they say that they're actually interested in Stede, Ed isn't put out by it at all. His first reaction is to look on with interest, then to genuinely smile/laugh as he watches these people fawn over Stede, and then finally to sincerely congratulate him in this adoring proud voice. This is a man who is so fucking chuffed for his boyfriend.

Even in the bar later on, he's gleefully and enthusiastically giving Stede all these tips that he's learned over the years, helping and supporting him in ways that he no doubt wishes someone would have done for him when he was in the first throes of pirate infamy. He's not upset that Stede is over there with admirers rather than hanging out with him - he's giving his advice, essentially going 'HAVE AT 'EM TIGER', and then watching him go with big proud doe-eyes. If anything, he's thrilled that everyone else has joined him in seeing how spectacular his boyfriend is.

And when the conflict does come, it's not jealousy that fuels it. Instead, it's all about Ed panicking that they're at different places in life, with Stede succeeding at piracy just at the point where Ed himself is truly done with it. In fact, I think it's even arguable that a part of it is that Ed doesn't want to have to ask Stede to give all this up for him (even though we all know Stede happily would). There's not a single whisper of Ed actually begrudging Stede any of this.

It would have been such low-hanging narrative fruit to have jealousy play a part here, and I sort of expected it because so many shows would do it, just because it's easy drama. But not the OFMD writers. They took one look at it and went 'nope, not in this relationship', and I want to kiss them all lovingly on the forehead for it. Yes, in many ways they are both very immature, and they don't know how to be in an adult relationship, but in this? This is something mature and grown up that they just inherently do without thinking. This is a relationship where they love each other, and support each other, and genuinely delight in each other's achievements. They love each other completely and utterly, with no space for petty interpersonal jealousy in that love. And that's why, in spite of all the messiness and issues that they are going to have to overcome, they are strong enough to make it through.
