There was a light in me Torn and weeping For the seed of my youth Twisted itself dark and bloody Yet he held me close And wiped my tears As both of us fell Like angels out of heaven.

AU/plot divergence of "A White Lie"
An alternative result to Xia Sini's injury, starting in Chapter 11.
x-x-x-x-x
The two men lingered at the door in a quiet discussion with one of Tanlang Elder's disciples. Xia Sini began stirring. He made a soft sound of inquiry and then seemed to stop moving.
“Xia Sini,” Xue Zhengyong called out with a trace of amusement, “you’re awake!”
“…”
“How is your injury?” Xue Zhengyong asked.
“…Ow,” Xia Sini said quietly.
Mo Ran had never heard Xia Sini acknowledge pain before. Some of his anxiety came back. The injury must have been deeper than it looked.
“Hm? That bad? I thought Tanlang had given you some medicine already.”
“He probably rolled onto the injury while he was asleep,” Tanlang Elder said.
Xia Sini said nothing. Mo Ran was too worried to keep pretending to sleep. He lifted his head and pretended to be groggy as he looked Xia Sini over. Xia Sini looked back at him with a strange expression. He looked confused and a little scared, as if he were very disoriented.
“A-Ran finally woke up too!” Xue Zhengyong said cheerfully, drawing Mo Ran’s attention.
Mo Ran put on a guilty expression and turned around.
“Uncle! Tanlang Elder!”
“You couldn’t wait to see your shidi?”
“I was wrong to have snuck in,” Mo Ran said before pleading, “but I had to know, how is my shidi?”
“I want to know as well,” Tanlang Elder said.
He briskly walked into the room to Xia Sini’s bedside. Mo Ran reluctantly made way for him. Tanlang Elder then held out his hand towards Xia Sini and waited for Xia Sini to give him his hand in return. Xia Sini instead shrank into his blanket as if he wanted to hide.
“The sooner we get this done, the sooner I’ll leave,” Tanlang Elder said irritably.
“…”
Xia Sini was looking silently at Tanlang Elder’s extended hand. He still looked confused and scared. Mo Ran frowned. Tanlang Elder had terrible bedside manner.
He made sure his voice was gentle when he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Xia Sini glanced at him. He seemed a little soothed by Mo Ran’s comparatively gentle expression.
“…Where is Shizun?” Xia Sini asked quietly.
“Do you mean Xuanji Elder?” Mo Ran asked.
Xia Sini shook his head. “I mean my shizun.”
“…”
Mo Ran wasn’t sure what to say. Xia Sini had never mentioned any other shizun. He had never even referred to Xuanji Elder as ‘shizun.’ That wasn’t the only thing that felt wrong. Xia Sini was still curled into his blanket like a frightened kitten. He blinked up at Mo Ran with a mixture of anxiety and hope as he awaited an answer. This kind of look was unlike Xia Sini. Sure, he was injured, but given his level of cultivation, this couldn’t have been the first time he’d been injured. Mo Ran thought back to the rare times when Xia Sini had fallen or been bruised in training. He’d always borne the pain as secondary to the loss of dignity. Mo Ran had expected more of the same from him upon waking. But there was no trace of Xia Sini’s usual assurance and pride in the little figure before Mo Ran now.
Something was off. Something had gone wrong.
Tanlang Elder cleared his throat. “Sect Leader…”
“A-Ran,” Xue Zhengyong said, “I must ask that you leave us for now.”
As if Mo Ran would leave. Clearly something had gone wrong with Xia Sini’s injury. Maybe he’d hit his head, or the dosage for his medication had been off, or he’d suffered a qi deviation.
Xue Zhengyong added, “I promise I’ll let you know if anything changes with…with this little disciple.”
“I want to keep Little Shidi company,” Mo Ran replied stubbornly.
Forget pretending to be a 15-year-old dummy. Being here with Xia Sini was more important. Mo Ran sat on the bed so he wouldn’t be looming over Xia Sini.
“Does it hurt anywhere?” Mo Ran asked gently.
“My arm…”
Mo Ran nodded. “My shixiong says you fell off your sword flying and hurt your arm. Do you remember that?”
“No.”
Mo Ran nodded again as if there were nothing unusual about that. Losing one’s memories was scary for anyone, let alone a little kid. It wouldn’t be helpful for Xia Sini to see fear on Mo Ran’s face.
“We need to know whether your arm is okay. Would you give Tanlang Elder your hand? He’ll be able to see if anything is wrong. It’s not going to hurt at all.”
“Oh.”
Xia Sini glanced between Mo Ran and Tanlang Elder. Tanlang Elder had retracted his hand but he had not stepped away. Xia Sini seemed shy of the older man but, having taken in Mo Ran’s words and expression, he held his hand out obediently. Tanlang Elder took it and read his pulse.
After some silence, he let go of Xia Sini’s hand. Xia Sini tucked it back into his blanket as soon as it was free.
“See? That didn’t hurt at all, did it?”
“No…”
Tanlang Elder halfway turned so he could share his opinion with Xue Zhengyong.
“There are no changes that I can detect, except for the injury healing. Perhaps…” he hesitated and glanced at Mo Ran, who had scooted closer to hear better.
Xue Zhengyong gave Mo Ran a fond, amused look.
“Is this also part of ‘keeping him company’?” he asked.
“Since I’m keeping Little Shidi company, I might as well learn know how to take care of him,” Mo Ran said shamelessly.
He knew he was pushing it, but he also knew that his uncle would indulge him. Xue Zhengyong spoiled his nephew and let him get away with almost anything…
Except this time, Xue Zhengyong put his foot down.
“A-Ran, your will to do your duty by your shizun isn’t wrong. But your shizun would not want you to neglect your cultivation. Your little shidi will be fine; Tanlang Elder will take very good care of him.”
Mo Ran gaped. He shoved down his indignation to ask plaintatively, “Uncle, are you sending me away?”
“Yes,” Xue Zhengyong said.
“But—”
“I’m sorry, A-Ran,” Xue Zhengyong said. “This time, I have to insist. You have another mission tonight with Meng-er. Go and rest.”
“Uncle,” Mo Ran pleaded stubbornly.
“A-Ran,” Xue Zhengyong countered. “Please don’t make things difficult.”
He gestured at the bed as he spoke, which made both him and Mo Ran look. It was only then that they noticed that the bed was empty.
“Huh?” Xue Zhengyong said.
Mo Ran had a moment to panic before he felt a small set of arms wrap around his legs. He looked down. For the first time since his little shidi had awoken, Mo Ran saw a trace of the normal Xia Sini on his face.
The little kitten of a disciple looked stubbornly at Xue Zhengyong.
“A-Ning wants to be with this gege.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Tanlang snorted.
“Huh? Did you say ‘A-Ning?’” Mo Ran asked.
Xue Zhengyong cleared his throat. “Little one, why don’t you get back into bed first…”
‘A-Ning’ ignored Xue Zhengyong in favor of replying to Mo Ran.
“Mn. This one’s name is Wanning. Chu Wanning.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Tanlang Elder burst into laughter.

ANALysis and THEORIES- OFMD EDITION #1
Objective: PROMO GIFS
Time to analyse these bad boys, because I think I may have figured out what they are. They're lines from the show. Each individual little subtext to the official gifs are something which someone will say in the new season, and I'm determined to find out what, when, where and who (I determine that 3/4 would equal success).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I) "I've never seen Blackbeard like this."
This is the same shot from the trailer, possibly either before or after the infamous "Fuck you, Stede Bonnet." However, there may be a Clue in the second shot which may be able to somehow place this on a timeline (not by myself—this has drained my powers). I can't really tell, because of the low quality and high contrasting shadows, whether or not the side of the Stede topper has been smudged with Ed's make-up yet.
It was clear in the teaser when Ed played with the toppers that he'd caressed fake-Stede against his cheek as if he were some rather exquisite cashmere because of the smudges, but we couldn't tell during the teaser if this has already happened by this point because of the angle of the toy. But if anyone manages to get a better picture or spots something I missed that may contradict or strengthen this little thought, do let me know.
I'm pretty sure though that the person who says "I've never seen Blackbeard like this," is someone who has seen Blackbeard enough to know how he was. Someone that perhaps served by his side? So I think that the speaker in this context may be Izzy. There are two options of who he's saying this too: either Stede, once they team up, or to the crew of the Queen Anne's Revenge, this being the old Revenge crew (Frenchie, Jim, and we count Fang). Maybe even Lucius in the walls.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
II) "I should have just told him how I feel."
I just want to take a moment just to appreciate the fact how much this gif resonated with me personally. This was the entire basis of all stages of grief I went through after the season finale, the bottomline of all my thoughts: "why couldn't he have just told him how he felt?". Brilliant delivery and shot planning from the designers of OFMD.
Anyways, let's get on with it. This gif is similar to the first one, in it having the potential of being also shot before or after the Vanity Fair picture with the crew (minus Swede) standing under the bridge(?) in the rain. I do think it's before the scene where Stede takes Blackbeard's poster and very confidently elaborates on Ed's goodness. He has his red cravat on, and is looking so pathetic in the rain looking at a wanted poster of his ex-boyfriend, that the scene is loveably laughable in it's entirety.
It's a bit obvious as to who is the speaker for this line: our very own Stede Bonnet. He's regretting on his actions back at the sailor academy, where he chose to keep quiet about his own opinions on Ed's willingness to leave to China, fast, because of his own deep-rooted issues with speaking up about what he thinks about serious, possibly life-chaning topics. Or maybe he's thinking of why he didn't tell anyone, especially not Ed, about the happiness he felt around him, how great he felt in his company, and how much love he felt for the man.
I can imagine this pretty early on in the season (as we know they reconcile or at least get a long decently early, from the leaked promo), and for some reason I have a picture of Stede laying slumped down on some form of furniture, ragdoll-style, whining about this to someone he knows: either Oluwande (probably the most probably option) or, hear me out, Spanish Jackie. I think she's going to become better friends with the Genital Pirate this season, and be a prevelant character to the narrative.
Tumblr media
III) "Feel's like a storm's coming."
This happens during the rapid, quick scenes which we were just able to catch from the teaser. Where Jim is half submerged in water trying their best to reach for someone which I may think might be Ed, and Frenchie working the capstan for whatever purposes needed to hoist something heavy in a storm (don't look at me, I don't sail 18th-century ships). But look, Edward has his cravat on, the cravat given to him by Stede. Why he's kept this eludes me, since this should in theory be before their reconciliation, but we all know that Ed still loves Stede, and perhaps this is his way to hang onto him close to his heart while still matching his new aesthetic.
I would like to think that Ed is the one saying this. After all, he is an expert navigator and weatherman, proving his skills during his first appearances in the previous season. (However, I don't particularly trust his date-keeping skills. He messed up the first one, and then let his other date be held at gunpoint and scared into leaving. Tut tut tut) Another reason as to why I think this is because there is no pronoun indicating that he actively feels the storm, but more passed as a backhanded quip just thrown onto the crew and/or Izzy to alert them.
This could also be interpreted as a metaphor: symbolism for something, foreshadowing to the main plot or villain of the series, which will most likely result in some form of cliffhanger at the end, I tell you that.
I wonder if they're going to have another cloud scene though, talking about how they might show signs of storm. However, instead of shape I'd assume that they'd be commenting on a rather large-scale, dark rain-cloud, and connecting it to perhaps winds stronger than usual.
I also saw someone saying that it was possible that Edward, when he falls off the ship, looses the cravat amongst the waves, and that is why he doesn't have it to what I'd assume is after this scene.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
IV) I love a good pirate's tale We can see from this scene that Stede is currently fighting on the beach in the same outfit which he had during the teaser, and if one looks closely you can see that he's excellently accessorised with a beautiful looped earring. However, what we've also learn is that the shot where Ed washes up on the beach is probably in the same scene as this, and by the look on Stede's face (probably augmented by the surrounding chaos) this may be the first time that he's seen Ed in a long time.
I think, as I've said before in previous posts, that Ed has been thrown off the ship in the storm mentioned above. He's been thrown off, and has happened to wash up on this same beach where Stede is fighting, which we know to be possible because of the automatic gaydar in OFMD. (What would be funny though is that he spotted Stede off the shore and decided to make his entrance super dramatic and kraken-like, but ends up just swallowing a shit ton of sea-water and gets his leather ruined, which is why he gets new clothes.)
Why he's fighting? I don't know. But I'm still sure that it's Ocracoke that they're on, because I'm convinced that it'll make an appearance this season—it has too, or else I will send in a formal complaint with our dearest Mr Jenkins.
Now, back to the main bit. The text. Who is it that says "I love a good pirate's tale?" I think that it's either said genuinely, but by someone like Stede, eager to hear about the adventures of experienced and famous seafaring pirates, OR flirtatiously, to insinuate something directed as a romantic quip to get Stede or someone else (a pirate) to talk more about himself. By who, I can't be sure, but I have a list of possible speakers:
Edward Teach
Spanish Jackie
Anne Bonny
Anne Bonny's campy friend
Lucius Spriggs
Stede Bonnet
If there's anything I've missed that you want me to add/change, which I find suitable, do tell.
I'm not sick at all. I'm a normal functioning member of society. I have a life.
