#the treatment of possessions in ofmd actually makes me insane

Have been wondering what Ed was getting while Stede was being walked into the jungle by Chauncey, because he had already gotten the dinghy and later arrived at the dock carrying a sack. Obviously supplies makes sense, but I just realised it was also their clothes/personal effects that Ed went back for, and it made me sad. 

He went back for his cravat, and his red handkerchief, and his leather jacket, and his knee brace, and all of Stede’s clothes that he knew would be missed terribly if they left them behind.

#our flag means death #ofmd #it makes me inexplicably sad #like that's somewhat a matter of reputation and pride as a pirate #but it's also so sentimental #like #the treatment of possessions in ofmd actually makes me insane #it's ok to be a clothes horse #it's ok to hang onto that silky scrap that makes you feel Home #that's why Ed has to throw everything away #because everything reminds him of love #and Home #he had all the Things and none of the actual People
