Something consistently missing in discussion of Ned Low’s death is that Low HAS TO DIE. He will come back. He will try to kill Ed again. He will try to destroy the Revenge. He will go after his old crew. No one will be safe with him around.

Ed cannot kill him. That will destroy Ed. The crew could kill him, yes, but Stede is the captain. Stede steps forward not to “prove his masculinity” but to protect the man he loves, to protect his crew, and to protect himself. Low absolutely strikes at his insecurities, but Stede is fucking sacrificing a part of himself for the people he loves.

Stede’s also ANGRY. He’s watched those he cares for tortured, he nearly died, and he listens to Low mock and belittle Ed. He’s PISSED OFF.

I know we don’t want Stede to be some traditional masculine hero, and he’s NOT. But he is allowed to be hurt and he is allowed to be angry and he is allowed to protect people. Which is what he does when he kills Low.

even though i’m mentally throwing a fiddle at ned low myself for interrupting a dance between ed and stede, i can’t help but sit with how intentional that upset is. because, it further hammers in the point that “their line of work” makes soft, easy, sweet moments far more difficult. at any point, at any time, an attack could emerge from the shadows, slicing through the niceties in an instant.

and for someone like ed who is exhausted by that sort of instability, and also so in love and so subsequently protective, i can’t imagine how hard that moment must have struck him. i’m sure it got the ball of fear rolling.

he just wants to heal and grow with his beloved. he just wants to turn poison into positivity. he just wants to slowly come back into his own body and self again.

but he was denied that. things went downhill so fast. he saw his darling get hurt, and easily could have lost him. and that of course led to a more impulsive, desperate bout of intimacy, stripping away the slowness and softness even further.

it was just such a catalyst. and ed’s upset for having that slip through his fingers is our own.

the main takeaway from calypso’s birthday isn’t that it is imperative to embrace your inner tender flamboyant fabulous divine self, or even that murder in cold blood can occasionally be justified given the circumstance, but that unionisation with your fellow mercenaries is key to demanding a living wage

this legitimately could not matter less but for the record the reason violins are red/brown is because those varnishes do not fuck with the sound of the instrument the way others do, so the PAINTED SILVER FIDDLE from a dude who killed his brother bc he was a worse musician? interesting choice, maybe don’t fuck up your instrument king, you hack, you fool, you ruined the finish you absolute clown

#this does not matter at all and the show did it bc they wanted him to have an over the top vibe #but i know about fiddles and i will be connecting dots #i’ve connected them #ofmd #ned low #our flag means death

Upon a rewatch of Calypso's Birthday, I have an additional thought.

Ned Low was a dead man walking from the moment he started harassing Ed with the bow while he was telling him he was a generic, dirty pirate. And I say that because what I DIDN'T catch on first watch was the moment the camera shifts focus to Stede.

Stede was fucking PISSED right there. There's no trepidation or fear in his face while Ned's shoving the bow in Ed's face and Ed's trying to turn away from it. (Ed, who we know from season 1 doesn't like to be touched by, well, anyone but Stede as far as I can tell.) Stede is furious.

I've not felt that Stede was out to prove anything in that ep. It wasn't about him showing anyone he was a "real" pirate. Stede killed Ned because Ned made him angry -- gut-twistingly angry. Stede has been bullied and terrorized most of his life, and while he still struggles with his own self-worth, that kind of treatment stokes a fire.

When he puts that sword to Ned's neck and tells him to walk, when he shoves him, it is 100% fury driving him. He's angry enough, after a lifetime of being demeaned and terrorized, to be beyond even Ed's ability to talk him down.

And that fury shows itself in that very first confrontation in their cabin. They make a POINT of switching that focus from Ed to Stede, to show us Stede's expression while Ned is tormenting Ed.

I don't even know that the rest of the night needed to happen to drive him to it. I think Stede made up his mind about Ned before he even broke out the fireplace poker. It didn't matter what Ed said; Ned was toast the moment Stede watched him shove that bow in Ed's face.

I keep thinking about how when Stede kills Ned Low, he really does do it for love. There’s a lot of things that are happening at the edges - his sense of his own inadequacies, his anger at what’s happened, his fear about why Ed loves him - but the reason he does it is for love.

Low can’t live. He will come back. He will go after the crew again. He will take revenge on his own crew. He will go after Ed. Ed will never be safe as long as Low is alive.

And Stede doesn’t enjoy what he does. Committing violence like that takes a piece of him. He thinks he’s betraying the little boy who wanted to pick flowers. But he’s doing it for love.

Both Stede and Ed are inherently gentle men who exist in a culture where men aren’t allowed to be gentle. Both of them are haunted by having to kill and afraid that by killing they’ve poisoned themselves.

I think it’s beautiful that Ed goes to talk to Stede and that this all leads to their first night together, because it’s about love. It’s about Ed saying that he loves Stede, that Stede hasn’t been poisoned or corrupted or defiled because of what he did. He doesn’t have to be violent to love Ed, but Ed knows what it means to kill to protect. Ed stops the poison from spreading by telling Stede what no one told him - “You are still loved. You’re not a monster.”
