Every time someone puts out a "help! what's the fic where" distress call, I picture us as little monks in a cavernous library scurrying up & down ladders, litanies of "hang on I know this" filling the stacks until one of us thrusts a scroll in the air with a triumphant "FOUND IT"

Hey, so a nifty thing I just noticed:
Gnosienne No. 5 starts up when Ed utters the YWFTW callback, and plays over their kiss, but! it stops when he pauses the kiss. Then when he asks, "Can we take it slow?" the melody starts over again *from the beginning*, this time slower. 🥹

Is it weird I feel like it's a testament to what a good actor he is in that the first 30 seconds do not remotely feel like Ed--it's Taika being Taika while cosplaying as Edward Teach 😂

I keep coming back to how "I love being near you. It's nice. It feels good" was EXACTLY the right thing for Stede to say in that moment, and tbh I hope he keeps telling Ed that for the rest of their lives. 🧵

The first time I heard Swede's earnest lil speech about Jackie, I laughed out loud bc it was just so unexpected, & the most we'd ever heard him speak in a single scene up to that point. But it finally hit me today, dude was spelling out a MAJOR theme of the show

I'm probably late to the party but I just noticed during the brekkie-in-bed scene that Stede's got all of his rings off and has set them aside next to the little box on the windowsill. I do love this show's attention to detail and its use of show-don't-tell. 😏

Actually I don't have any room in me right now to say anything grateful or resilient. Capitalism kills art, and it feels like it will never truly be okay to be queer in this fucking hellscape.

Heads up, if you want to dunk on Max's acct for not renewing our show, please don't do it on the Sort Of posts. It's a legit great show with a trans PoC lead, nuanced characterization, and themes about identity (queer & immigrant), family (birth & chosen), and choosing your path.

The more discussion I've seen that Ed's raid-a-thon was a self-destructive ploy to entice Ned Low, do we think at least some part of his choice to leave in ep7 is because, in parallel to last season's penultimate ep, Ed believes he's brought about Stede's "ruin"?

I think what makes me saddest about the absence of a 3rd season (and some of the s2 cuts), is never again getting to see Stede & Ed canonically share casual physical touch and easy close proximity again the way they did in s1. 🧵

You know, I gotta hand it to Mary for asking Stede outright if he was in love with Ed. It at least occurred to her this thing might be genuine. Makes me wonder what would have happened if he'd simply been honest with her. She was giving him an out, even if she didn't like it.

YES, I maintain that "you're not a dick, life's a dick" is actually one of the most romantic lines in a show full of bangers, bc it basically says "hey, you are not the sum of your traumas, I love you & I will gladly walk beside you through all the ups and downs of your healing."
stede's little 'life's a dick' breaks me because he genuinely understands ed's problems, has overcome a lot of really similar stuff in their time apart, and he's just so willing to work through it with him and be there and it's just... everything

In case anyone was curious, the painting they've looted here (L) is Flemish Old Master artist Peter Paul Rubens' "Cain Slaying Abel," a.k.a. the biblical "first murder," painted around 1608-1609. They also appear to have stolen Rubens' own self-portrait (R).

Thinking about how Stede giving Ed '87 Kraken was his unconscious way of being like "here, these are my feelings for you which I can't bring home. Hold onto them for me."
'08 Kraken is like "here are my feelings for you, messy & open & earnest. Do with them what you will."

He really took Ed's words from earlier to heart. Touch had been such a casual thing for Stede in their youth, and he never realized until now just how deeply that had effected Ed. He doesn't want to make that same mistake now and overstep a boundary without asking first.
