Can we take a moment to appreciate that I drew that little heart left handed?

a thing i have JUST realized, isn't the human brain amazing lol -- is that we talk about izzy's thoughts and feelings on ed, on blackbeard, about how he serves one but not the other, etc, etc, and how it means he never loved or even respected the True Man Underneath It All but rather the bloodthirsty legend of a pirate--
e x c e p t izzy is not the first person who makes the distinction between edward and blackbeard. it's ed himself, when he says "actually, i want to be called edward from now on".
before, when he was with stede, it didn't bother him at all that the crew called him blackbeard. that was his name! he was blackbeard, what else would they call him. only stede and izzy got to "ed" or "edward" him, because they were closer -- stede was his first close friend, izzy was his friend and first mate for decades. (note that fang was with ed the longest, but he doesn't call him by his name! you gotta deserve it.)
izzy doesn't do anything inappropriate or out of proportion when he snaps at the crew to call him blackbeard or captain -- that's who ed is, is supposed to be, to them. they're not friends! they even call stede captain, and have you seen that guy?
it's ed that makes the connection between his current state: draped in fuchsia robes, singing sad songs about how sad he is, showing his vulnerable and emotional state in front of people who are supposed to respect and trust his authority. and by that he splendidly loses that authority, to the point that wee john calls him ed, and when izzy snaps at him for disrespecting his captain, ed goes no, actually, yknow what, do call me edward! and then he goes on to encourage the crew to sing as well and hey, actually, why are we being pirates! we should do a talent show!
the distinction is clear here. before all that, in izzy's eyes, his boss was blackbeard, captain, ed/edward -- different names for different occasions, but one and the same guy. but now? this guy singing songs in a pink bathrobe doesn't want to be called blackbeard, he's edward! ed time now! we're going to eat marmalade and express our feelings in front of everyone! and hold talent shows! Ya Hoo !
yeah, it's no wonder izzy doesn't want that. he wants his competent captain back, and this current dude, edward? he's not him. so, uh,

ok. i finally read the first entry in those blue alien barbarian books and idk man maybe its because the implications of the garrus romance are like a thousand times weirder than anything that happens in that book or maybe its because i married a cat man in skyrim and i'm just too jaded at this point to care about tails and horns but i really do not see how those were the books that sent everyone into a tizzy tbqh.

the most important thing about a slow burn isn’t the word count, it is the way that it all comes to a head. if it is 50k but the way the characters get together is shit, then it isn’t a good slow burn. if it is 2k but the way the characters get together make me want to scream happily from the rooftops, then it’s a good slow burn imo
Yeah, exactly! I don't have a problem with a longer slow burn that nails it, but the knee-jerk in that post was saying it's impossible to see a 2k fic do it, and that's just not true! And I tend to read author notes obsessively, so it breaks my heart when you see someone saying they feel forced to do it, it's such a chore, and it's like break free, bb, you can do it in fewer words and enjoy the process more, I'd bet!
