Sometimes I draw and make stuff.
My ability to resist drawing tiny Ed dissolved thanks to this sweetest little fic by @spirker , where we are graced with the image of Ed drinking tea from a thimble(!!!!) and I had to.
i can't wait to be 30+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to be 40+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to be 50+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to be 60+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to be 70+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to be 80+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to be 90+ and still in fandom and i can't wait to look back on my life and know that i loved things deeply and passionately and was inspired to create and was part of communities with incredible people from all over the world brought together by the stories that touched us
Not to get emotional on main but I’ve been looking in second hand stores for sewing patterns, and I always find lying next to it a basket of handmade doilies, jumpers, quilts, and it’s almost more than I can bear. I knit, I crochet, I’ve given most lace types a go so I know the painstaking time that goes into each piece, and it feels so cruel to see them and to be offered them for two dollars fifty, two dollars fifty for a year of a woman’s life devoted to what she loved. I’ve been recreating my grandmother’s lace, hoping I can find in a missed stitch the connection I missed before her memories failed. But among her projects is a yellow tablecloth, 6 segments of crocheted lace, the 6th unfinished. I don’t even know if there was meant to be a 7th. You find the same in op shops, crocheted granny squares and sets of just 7, rewound wool still holding the shape of a ghost of a project. I like to imagine it holds something within it, something I could reach if only I picked it up and finished it. I wish I had time, to repair a thousand womens crafts, but I’m so short on time, so busy with projects I only hope will sit next to the work of these artists when I pass.
also if that's how ed talks sober imagine what happens after getting some wine in him. tipsy stede giving tipsy ed physically impossible heart eyes while ed talks for 2 hours straight.
Sorry for any repeats, I feel like I've seen this game around for some days and some of you have probably done it already but I forgot who. (And please lmk if you don't want to be tagged )
enough about that other guy, i want to talk about stede in season two.
i want to talk about how he didn't even care that all his things had been destroyed, that his only concern was what that destruction said about ed's state of mind.
i want to talk about how he mucked right in with the crew at jackie'z and on zheng's ship.
i want to talk about that excellent belly flop into the fucking ocean when they found the revenge.
i want to talk about that absolute romantic hero moment on the rocky shoreline, giving the bottle a kiss before tossing it into the sea
i want to talk about how completely he understands ed, from burn the world or die trying to i know (you love me). i know that.
i want to talk about how he remains his bitchy, hapless, cringefail self while still growing as a person and getting better at things. His better may still be worse than other people's good but he's getting there.
i want to talk about how he gave up his swishy red suit because the crew needed him to.
i want to talk about how much more palpably comfortable he is in his own skin this season, with none of the finery that was a shield and a prison for him his whole life.
i want to talk about how he never, ever gave up on ed no matter what. Because stede was in Love, goddamn it, finally, and he was not going to lose that, to death or mutiny or anything else.
Nothing but an actual s3 will fix that, but I've recently found this fic and am actually finding it quite comforting, not to mention a wonderfully fun read!
Full fathom five by @clairegregoryau
Summary by the author:
Edward Teach and Stede Bonnet have just watched the crew of the Revenge sail away, leaving them to their new start as innkeepers.
A daily visit to their lives in the form of tiny updates over 100 days in their world and in ours, gradually charting a course through the Season 3 we all deserved ❤️
s1 was stede's journey, s2 was ed's journey. s3 would have been a journey for the both of them together and navigating their lives as a unit. i will forever be angry
