how to give an awful handjob
be unaware of where the penis is
scream into the penis
use the back of your hand
slap the penis and call it ā€œbuddyā€
condescend to the penis
set your hand on fire

itā€™s so weird to me how thereā€™s cliques and hierarchies within fandom spaces these days like. weā€™re all just fucking nerds. how are you gonna try to be popular amongst the nerds. how are you going to feel superior over your fellow nerds. at the end of the day youā€™re still a fucking nerd bestie

"I can fix him" "I can make him worse" OK well I can sit behind him and wrap my arms around his middle and comfortingly rock him side to side

The thing I am fucking feral about today: this shit.
Tumblr media
Look. Look at this.
Stede, by and large, is not a Toucher. (Thatā€™s a whole separate essay.) Heā€™s hesitant as fuck about it, and tends to initiate contact, if at all, through some intermediary: clothing, air, etc. Later, with Ed, heā€™ll do incidental touches, little things that could be explained away like the brush of arms together, etc.
(THIS IS NOT THAT ESSAY.)
But look at this shit. ā€œMay I?ā€ Stede asks, and he gives it a moment but Ed doesnā€™t actually hand it over. He doesnā€™t even answer.
And Stede just reaches out, takes an end of the silk, and
slowly
drags it
through Edā€™s fingers as Ed fucking tilts his eyes upwards in complete silence, his gaze clicking from spot to spot as his heart gets unwound from his lax ā€“ but not relaxed ā€“ grip.
And while I like the meta where Stede has NO FUCKING CLUE ABOUT HOW SEDUCTIVE HEā€™S BEING, I also like the idea that for the first time in his life, because this is a Queer Situation, Stede has the glimmerings of Game. Because, my god, the forwardness of it. He didnā€™t wait for Ed to give it to him. He just reached out and took, but in such a syrup-slow manner that Ed couldā€™ve said no, couldā€™ve just tightened his fingers if he didnā€™t want to let Stede take this precious thingā€“ and Stedeā€™s giving him that time while simultaneously also making some pretty great allusions, intentional or not, to how exactly heā€™d make his move, if a move he ever made.
Like, ā€œMay I?ā€œ Stede would ask, and Ed (Blackbeard) wouldnā€™t move, wouldnā€™t say a word, but he wouldnā€™t step away either, would just watch Stede with a clicking gaze as Stede stepped forward, raised his hands, and drew Ed syrup-slow toward him, every moment one where Ed could turn away and every moment clear that Stede was here, wanting this, wanting him, and deliberate in his want.
So my god, the pure queer seduction of this scene: the intermediary object as a stand-in for themselves; the plausible deniability; the silent consent (a subgenre of plausible deniability); coded language; ā€œinnocentā€ touch as protective camouflageā€¦
(Itā€™s a little distressing to consider how much queer romantic context comes from trying to be both Open to a possibility while simultaneously trying not to get the shit beaten out of us for being wrong. Itā€™s a powerful language. Itā€™s a tragic one. Itā€™s what makes it feel so special if it goes right.)
Anyway. Stede may have no idea the levels heā€™s playing at here, but heā€™s a man who was explicitly and in canon abused for displaying a particular flavor of non-masculine behavior. Even if he doesnā€™t know heā€™s queer, he knows the need for the language of safety; heā€™s been learning it since childhood. So he speaks itā€“ and Ed, who engages in at least ā€œwhen at seaā€ levels of queer living, picks up on it like the Stede-radio heā€™s been tuning for ages now to find a signal that explains him has suddenly gone from static to the crystal-clear notes of Gnossienne No. 5.
Is it any wonder that Edā€™s oh no moment is fucking palpable here? Is it any wonder that Stede comes away from this scene a little more certain of himself around Ed, able to argue him into staying, pull him into a treasure hunt, touch his bare arm against Edā€™s when they become co-captains?
GAH these fuckheads, look at them.
