wrapping him up in a blanket and giving him a warm beverage, he’s been through a lot it’s what he deserves
[ID: a sketchy digital drawing in greyscale of Ed Teach with his hair up in a messy bun, wrapped up in a blanket and holding a warm mug with steam rising from it. he has a very soft and vulnerable expression on his face.]
This is a sketch? You SKETCHED THIS? This is gorgeous!
stede putting the crews flags up is like a proud father putting his kids drawings on the fridge 💔💔💔 oh my god oh my god stede bonnet i love you so much
Anyway shoutout to the OFMD writers for gently cradling all our faces and saying “you don’t need to be perfect or have all your shit figured out before you get into a relationship. You are constantly evolving and growing as a person and there is no threshold of Perfection you need to reach before you deserve love and happiness”.
not to be incredibly on the nose but i have been thinking about how our flag means death finds these two men who are both convinced they are unlovable—though in different ways—and follows them as they fall irrevocably in love with one another. it’s a silly little romcom but is also absolutely and incredibly devastating because it makes this dedicated effort to highlighting all the things we see as reasons not to be loved—reputation, deviance from the norm, inability to fit in, only good for serving a specific purpose, etc—and turning them into reasons that someone is love unequivocally.
our flag means death sees these two men who are both convinced there is nothing good left in the world, and forces them to find something good in one another. we see these two roughly middle aged men discovering that there is still beauty left to life. i don’t know about you, but i needed that.
modern au where the crew works in an office or smth and does secret santa. roach gets jim and jim gets roach. they don’t know much about each other. roach knows jim likes throwing knives and buys them throwing knives and ninja stars. jim knows roach likes cooking knives and gets him a nice set of kitchen knives. after secret santa they’re both kinda like “man… I don’t need more of these…” and when they reveal that they were each other’s gift givers they go “hey wait a minute” and swapsies and jim gives roach some knife throwing lessons and roach teaches jim how to use all their fancy new knives and how to care for them.
ed, after making sure stede has a library in their new home, sometimes approaches stede with books that have illustrations to ask him if he can try and do the hairstyles that he thinks look pretty on the drawings for him
