Amazing plays from lis bts. Rachel as a teenager in 2010 being absorbed in plays from the early 1900s, is such a dreamy-Cali-kid thing. "Full of imagination", as Chloe says.

Rachel "delving into the mind of Chloe Price" by reading the book Chloe liked while she waited for Chloe to dye her hair.
Oh Chloe you'll realise Rachel's such a big fan of Tennessee Williams & Shakespeare, she even hangs posters of their plays in her room.
Kiss Me Kate inspired from Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. Some of these giving me 🏳️‍🌈 vibes

Blanche fits Rachel like a shirt. Imagine her own heartbreaking take on it.

Reading book "recs" from a fandom is such an experience
More to come!

So i am rewatching the first season into the 2nd again ( yes I have a problem but that's why I took a week off of work k?) And I noticed somethings on this viewing that are new for me with the context of 2nd season:
-Ed is under a lot of pressure to figure things out and live up to the Blackbeard moniker. His speech to Stede!Blackbeard about everything being his fault, his responsibility. I never watched Izzy in that scene. That speech was for Iz. Especially considering Izzy's earlier insults and saying he was going to quit. The look he gives Izzy when the fog is revealed. Charged.
- Ed is a deeply lonely person. Izzy may "have love for Edward" but he does not play with him (ex:the clouds like frankfurters, the trinkets on the ship). Izzy is shown to chronically lack imagination (Its how Stede gets one hostage back, gets gun powder in Izzy's face in the duel). This is an integral part of Ed and Stede. It also means that Stede can come to the Lighthouse conclusion with Ed. Not a subordinate-a partner.
- Ed doesn't see that Izzy is also breaking under the weight of his role in Blackbeard. The constant going between Ed, the crew, and doing all the work without the reverence/ obedience/respect afforded to the actual Blackbeard is unbelievably stressful. I think of love dying in a marriage when one partner has the other act like their babysitter. In this case it's the one being treated like the child who is done first.
-I never noticed how hard Ed works to keep Iz around. The way he leaves the crows nest to lure Izzy back in with promises and compliments about being a good captain. Poor Iz. Even with Stede, who he is his most himself with,Ed still thinks he needs to put on the Blackbeard show. It's what Stede and the crew like right? Izzy is key to being Blackbeard. Ed goes through it when Izzy loses the duel to Stede (it didnt have to be like this Iz, we could have worked something out). Everyone is happy to see Izzy go except Ed. He is upset when Izzy curses him. He walks away upset.
- I never realized how Izzy leaving could play a part in why Ed is preparing to leave at the start of " This is Happening." It something to think about as you watch him start with his moodiness. I imagine Izzy was always responsible for him in his moods. I imagine despite the fact I think he was already in love with Stede at this point. He was feeling very insecure. He felt so strongly for Stede, too scared to lose this new connection that had brought life back into his life to push for something more. Blackbeard is Edward's cloak against vulnerability, Izzy is key to Blackbeard= Firstmate/ security blanket.
- when Izzy betrays Blackbeard to the British, it breaks the final line holding their relationship together. He had an opportunity. When Ed came back to the ship heartbroken. If Izzy could have realized how he felt, could have been kind to Ed. Offered love instead of insults and threats maybe he could have fixed things.
- In season 2 Ed is trying to operate Blackbeard on his own. Izzy was always the second on the helm, but after the betrayal, after the threats, Ed can never fully trust him again. Any part of Ed that thought Izzy cared about him as a person and not Blackbeard was extinguished (even if he is wrong). It makes sense why he reacts to Izzy's confession. Too late. I think even Izzy knew that though.
Edit: This video makes me think of many things:
