stede, who has never been openly loved before, being told by ed for the first time that he loves him and responding with, "i know. i know that," has completely ended me. COMPLETELY ended me. he has never known love. and now know he KNOWS THAT.
like. has anyone ever told him they love him?? has he heard those words to his face before?? has he ever known love like this?? has he ever felt so certain in it?? has he ever had someone look him in the eyes and say "i love you" and mean it????? has he???????????

I have digested episode 6 and 7 and taken some time to think and my overall feeling about the episodes is this:
Discomfort. And I think that's the takeaway we're meant to have.
The circumstances under which Ed and Stede for slept together feel off and I feel this is by design.
This wasn't, 'I love you, lets share this as an expression of our love and trust when we are both ready and willing.' It was 'Help me, I just murdered someone and I need to feel anything other than what I feel right now.'
But Ed loves Stede and he knew they were headed here anyway right? A bit more time wouldn't matter and Stede needs him right now so, yeah. Lets do this.
It is very telling that they don't speak. There's silent communication, a desperate grab, a wall slam, a pleading look, a nod and then they fall into it.
Stede didn't speak at all because he knew if he did he would have to let himself feel everything he was avoiding.
Ed didn't speak because he tried and Stede shut it down.
The night was beautiful and I don't doubt they had fun. But it was missing something.
No Gnossiene number 5. Because it was sex. Not lovemaking.
The framing of Ed having his back against a wall, and then the only other scene we see, they are not deepening that passion, but instead we watch as they pause with Ed sitting on the bed watching Stede close a curtain on them both... Oof.
The thing that sticks out to me in Episode 7 is that Ed and Stede are always apart from that point forward. There is a heap of distance between them on the bed. They sit apart at the bar. They moved too quickly, never got fully comfortable with each other and now they've retreated back to their respective comfort levels as they were before they had sex and it's discordant and feels weird, because it's supposed to.
After the euphoria of them finally having sex has worn off, I am afraid I have to agree with Ed.
It was a mistake.
They would both have been better off if they talked about how Stede was feeling, if Stede hadn't shut Ed down when he tried to open a dialogue. I'm not blaming Stede, please understand, there were two consenting parties here and Ed could have shaken his head at Stede just as easily, but he's still bad at communicating his boundaries and knowing what he wants.
The show intentionally gave us:
-Here's Ed learning patience is important when you really want something.
-Here's Ed communicating that to Stede.
-Here's Stede and Ed forgetting that lesson because Stede is in pain.
-Here's a demonstration of why this isn't a good thing.
We wanted a mature relationship for these two and now we must wear the consequences.
Sigh, bring on the 'sure to be devestating' finale.

If the tumblr bots really want me to click their links they should tell me they have access to some new OFMD S2 content.

Ok it’s the fact that Stede called him his boyfriend,
BUT
It’s also the fact that after he said it, he went *wait* turned to Ed and said “is that ok?”
AND GOT CONSENT TO CALL HIM THAT
And Ed was able to say “I fucking loved it”
LIKE HELLO?!? ROMAN EMPIRE
I will never get over this.

This is probably true... the force of their attraction to each other would've broken the sound barrier! I do wish we could have seen it though.

Why Gentlebeard are endgame
A lot of people said that Ed and Stede need to grow apart for a while because they want different things but I don’t think I agree.
Stede doesn’t want to kill people and go steal treasures form ships, that is not why he wanted to become a pirate: he wants to be excited about his life, he wants to belong, he wants love. He just doesn’t see that he has that already. Ed also wants love, he’s been a shadow of himself for years and he finally feels seen by someone, someone who makes him want to desire a normal life, someone that made him see what he was actually doing to himself. They don’t want different things, they just don’t truly get what they have done for each other, that is why their fight in episode 7 makes sense, that is why Stede leaving in season 1 made sense.
They gave each other love, closure and freedom, they are just deeply insecure people, with years of trauma to resolve, but even though their issues come from different places they are united in their pain. I think that is why the last episode is called Merman, because in the end they are gonna realise that they both pulled each other form a life that they hated and they both want a life together, despite their differences.
You don’t know the first thing about piracy, it’s not about glory, it’s about belonging to something
In episode 6 Stede kills a man in cold blood, he becomes a pirate, he becomes a man (I think that’s also what the sex means). He takes control over his life, he doesn’t want to be the softy who constantly has to be saved, who gets lucky, who does things by accident. He wants to feel powerful, he feels this change, because now that Ed is back he wants to be what he needs and he thinks that in order to do that he has to be like him. Ed gets called a softy and that makes Stede angry and in a way yes, he defends him because he loves him but also because he hates that part of himself. Let’s not forget that one of the things that made him snap in season 1 was the whole “you bringed the world’s greatest pirate to ruin” thing. He thinks he is ruining Ed. And now that Stede has killed someone in cold blood, Ed thinks he is ruining Stede, that his influene is poisoning him.
The dream sequence in the first episode of season 2 is funny ok, it’s meant as a joke, but it’s not really. A million people have already pointed this out but their two dreams/hallucinations are a beautiful, poetic and surreal way of representing their relationship and its issues. Stede thinks he needs to become someone else in order to deserve Ed: he has to be manly, grow a beard, he has to fight, he has to kill someone but that’s not what Ed wants. He sees him as a merman, as a sparkly beautiful figure, far from the usual immagery of manly in a way, who brings him out of the sea, out of his poison, out of his prison. Ed hates himself, he hates Blackbeard, he hates his life, his life was not only poisonous but it bored him to death. Stede pulled him out, made him feel like he belonged with him, made him feel like Edward for the first time in a while. That is what Stede doesn’t understand because he has always felt unworthy, both of love and of what he truly wants. He doesn’t see that Ed loves him for him, the true him, and he wants to prevent him from becoming a mask like him.
Their fights have always had the same foundation: they think they are undeserving of each other. They are gonna realise this is dumb and actually start working on their issues...together.
