no but the fact that stede smiles so warmly and innocently when ed tells him he's what makes him happy, and still doesn't realise he means it in a romantic way until he literally gets kissed on the mouth is, exasperatingly beautiful
and he goes to say something too, "well, that's—"? he's about to blurt out something about gratitude bc he's so touched and sheepish. thank the gods ed leans in and smooches him bc stede was just going to keep thinking "oh he's such a good friend. what is this feeling i'm feeling? ah yes it's friendship"
god please can someone help me find the gif of the white $20-banana looking-lady from like, an 80s show it looks like, she’s stumbling around in a downtown area looking disoriented and keeps seeing gay signs like “LEBANESE” and “CURRY PUFFS” please i need it
