okay brief moment of nerding out over ofmd deeply, DEEPLY understanding human psychology.
today it’s about ed and telling stede that he hasn’t killed anyone directly since his father.
(now, caveat: i do think there’s an element here of ed trying to find internal moral classification structures that make sense to him— clearly, killing is not something he enjoys and wants to associate with who he is, so there’s definitely a note at play here where ed is attempting to align what he’s done with his intrinsic values and desires, etc.)
however, i think the more important piece here is what does this say about ed: that he’s taken care to off-load his killing onto proxies, be they the other members of his crew or setting a ship on fire, for all these years, and that he still thinks he’s not a good person anyway.
so ‘is ed right about what murder means, is he actually to blame for deaths’ is a question we can all ask ourselves (and probably should!) but for ed as a fictional person, he’s done that calculus and decided that using his own two hands to kill is an act so fucking shattering and horrifying he did it once, to end his father’s abuse, and then could not force himself to do it again.
he expresses distaste about other specific acts of violence at several points throughout the season (and every so often, enthusiasm, though i would argue that’s far less sincere), but he is very, very clear about this with stede: as far as ed’s concerned, his first, last, and only murder happened the night he killed his father.
do we think he’s right about that? it’s kind of a personal choice, there. but if we’re looking to understand ed himself, what ed thinks and why he thinks it are the roads to travel. this show is so ridiculously good at crafting flawed, realistic human beings i could chew fuckin glass about it.

Theory of Love is definitely one of the hardest BLs to take seriously that I've watched so far (NOBODY SPOIL ME PLS I am up to ep6 and hoping we're gonna switch at some point from Gun POV to Off POV and turn the perspective on its wet-from-water-bottle-showering head, but I don't KNOW for SURE so don't tell meeee) but one thing I'm really vibing with is just how well it captures the sheer disastrousness of disastrous gay friendships!!!
I don't love watching a bunch of dudes be toxically masculine @ every girl that walks past them (though I understand that this performance is the sibling to the boy craziness I performed at all the girls I was in love with in grade school), but I just love the dynamic within the friends group of like WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? WHY ARE OUR FRIENDS SUDDENLY ALWAYS MAD AT EACH OTHER??? WHERE IS ALL THIS DRAMA COMING FROM?????
The drama is coming from Disastrous Queer Friendship. From two friends who cannot/will not communicate how they feel for each other or why "just" friendship is not working. There is no escaping it my guys all you can do is ride the ship through the storm at your bros' side

OK THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL EVERYONE FUCKING REPEAT AFTER ME. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL DO WHEN YOU WATCH MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL THIS YEAR:
You will navigate to the page on disney plus (and it has to be here. Unless someone has actually uploaded the REAL movie anywhere else you cannot get it elsewhere)
BUT YOU WILL NOT HIT PLAY. You won’t do it. Because it’s NOT THE REAL VERSION OF THE FILM AND DISNEY IS FUCKING LYING TO YOU AS IT ALWAYS DOES
You will scroll down HERE. To EXTRAS instead. You MUST GO HERE. This is non -negotiable
THEN YOU WILL SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE EXTRAS AND YOU WILL THEN HIT PLAY ON THIS BAD BOY: THE FULL LENGTH VERSION
And you will watch it. And you will thank me for having been so blind and led astray by that stupid fucking mouse. You’re welcome.
