i could talk for hours about everything i love about this show, but honestly i can’t stop thinking about the way ED is in love with STEDE?? like let me explain what i can’t get over, it’s the way that stede is the softer, more feminine, ‘weaker’, more stereotypically queer coded one and it would’ve been so EASY for them to make it stede who had an obvious crush on ed. like play it up that he’s a fool in love and everyone sees it except ed but they wrote it the opposite way!!! ed meets stede and it’s love at first sight!! this scary, masculine pirate captain falls so hard and so fast for stede fucking bonnet and stede has no clue!!!!! ed knows he has a crush the whole show and he just embraces it!!!!!! fuck i just love this show so much and i love that ed loves stede it’s literally the best possible thing they could’ve written
