Stede + the head-cradling thing
Every day we spend apart feels like an eternity 💔
This post haunts me because I posted it the day of cancellation, just before we found out. I know it was just a coincedence that I was sad posting this, but it was like a part of me knew 🥲 anywayyyy
It still feels like an eternity without ofmd 💔
the purple suits him but stede just can’t shake the feeling that the outfit would look better on another
do you ever rewatch this kiss and end up rewinding it 15 times because you're completely mesmerized by their hands?
anyways
edward teach voice yeah i'm not a good person. it's why i don't have any friends. and actually i'm the scariest thing i've ever seen and- what no the spider tattoo isn't part of that it's bc i'm scared of spiders and i thought that might help but it didn't now my own hand freaks me out. back to the inherent monstrosity of my life-what now? yes i do take my tea with seven sugars and i want to kiss my boyfriend softly under the moonlight what does that have to do with anything
thinking about olu and stede… how olu is the first to say he likes stede’s storytime, asks him point blank if he wants to live, saves his strange cringefail captain’s ass twice in back to back episodes 1 AND 2, even tells him he’s got nice hair after ed leaves with calico jack… he’s just a real one yknow
people say folks with adhd struggle with "delayed rewards" aka long term goals and as such we tend to focus more on short term rewards. what they don't talk about is that at when we Do accomplish long term goals we don't actually feel anything proportionate to the amount of work we did to achieve it. In my head I suffered for a while and then money spontaneously appeared in my bank account.
"Don't you feel satisfied that your windows are so clean now?" It sucked and it sucked and now I don't care. I just remember the sucking.
i also was killed and came back to life three days later but i didnt want to make a big deal out of it. because im humble
btw the position of this blog is that "is stede bonnet a soft uwu creampuff or a violent maniac" is a "nice dichotomy idiot what lies outside it" situation, stede has a giant pile of hangups that cause him to simultaneously crave and be repulsed by his own capacity for violence and that's one of the several ways he and ed are the same person played in a different key
