Utterly obsessed with Izzy appearing out of nowhere to surprise Stede.

S1E6 The Art of Fuckery except when Izzy says “I’ll happily end it” Ed takes him up on it and throughout the rest of the day, Izzy’s real nice to Stede, the whole time knowing that he’ll be ending his life that night and Stede COMPLETELY misreads the situation and when Izzy pushes him into a dark corner of the ship to do it, Stede kisses him assuming that’s what this was all about. Poor touch-starved Izzy gets into it and after 10 or so minutes of making out, realizes killing Stede is NOT gonna get him laid, so he doesn’t do it and then has to walk-of-shame back to Blackbeard the next morning to fess up.

OFMD Releasing the Kraken in S1 versus S2
They used Swede's siren song from the fuckery in first season to show how the murderous Kraken (Blackbeard) came back in the second season. It was a great touch.

I think about this scene all the time because it's one of those moments that seems throwaway but, when you actually look at it, it's so fundamental to Ed's character.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ed is very clearly depicted as someone who likes being clean. He hates being dirty, and he hates mess. We get quite a few moments that show us this quite explicitly, and this is one of them. It's why the weird fanon about Ed not knowing how to be clean or not understanding what soap is (wtf?) is such nonsense (and also racist) - he's explicitly depicted as feeling so strongly about being clean that he made a 'no pets' rule on his ship specifically to avoid mess.
But, liking being clean and hating mess? That's far too much of a soft feminine trait for Blackbeard to have. Blackbeard's very survival depends on being seen as stereotypically hypermasculine. Blackbeard can't dislike dirt or be finnicky about being clean. So, Ed has had to come up with another explanation as to why pets aren't allowed aboard his ship that fits the Blackbeard persona.
I think this is a really fundamental moment in terms of understanding Blackbeard as a mask that's been constructed in order to survive, and how it sits at odds with the man - Ed - underneath it. And it also highlights the significance of his time with Stede, and the impact that Stede's radical softness (his natural eschewing of traditional masculinity just by being himself) has had on Ed. Stede doesn't just accept all these soft (traditionally more feminine) traits that Ed has felt compelled to hide for decades, but he creates an entire space where Ed feels much safer to just...be Ed.
To the point where, by the time this scene rolls around, Ed has pretty much forgotten about the need to pretend that this is about anything other than him wanting to be clean.

Ok. Huh. Watching 'The art of fuckery' with captions. Did anybody else know that there was actual dialogue at the start when Stede and Ed are sitting at the railing talking and laughing?
It's mostly covered by Izzy's v.o. and in past watchings I heard that Stede was saying something but couldn't make it out. I know the contents of the dialogue very likely doesn't mean anything and is just a weird little Easter egg (?) type thingy..but there you go.

Man who thought that “fear is the most powerful emotion” is completely undone by love.

The contrast in the sound and meaning of the doors in the bathtub scene in 1x6 is such a small moment that offers a huge emotional punch.
The first is of pain, of leaving, Ed's dad slamming the door closed, as he moved away from his family.
The second is of hope, of returning. It's Stede breaking down the door TO GET to Ed and take care of him.
These sounds are back to back, and while slightly different, offer such a contrasting sensation and emotion to Ed and the audience.
Ed is rendered mute as a kid from the trauma and while adult Ed is following in his footsteps, locking and hiding himself away and becoming as small as he can, while covering himself up with something soft, this time it's different.
This time the sound of the door is of someone coming to him, to comfort him, not to hurt him. He uses Stede's robe to cover himself in a sense of security and now that security has broken down a door out of worry for him, asking if he's all right. You can hear after each noise, Ed trying to steady his breathing.
Ed immediately speaks, telling him the truth. Something we learn later is a dark secret he's kept, and only now tells another soul.
One door offers pain and the other hope. Stede has always been Ed's hope and this is one of the loudest (literally) signs of it.

Thinking about the whole joke with the homoerotic sword fighting in The Art of Fuckery and how Lucius asks Stede if he’s good while Stede’s still pinned to the mast just like he did after finishing up with Black Pete.
The humor in this show has layers. Much like ogres and onions.

The Art of Fuckery is so damn Shakespeare, all the hiding behind curtains–very Shakespeare, very Hamlet. Ed trying to decide if he’s going to kill Stede or not–very very Hamlet. When Ed is watching the fuckery and has a complete breakdown when he sees the kraken, so so goddamn Hamlet, WTF. Claudius is reminded of his own murderous actions, breaks down and flees. Ed, reminded of his deepest, darkest moment, the moment that makes him feel like a monster, that haunts him for the rest of his life, gasps and collapses and has to crawl into the bathtub. WHY IS THIS TV SHOW SO SHAKESPEARE I DIE.
“Turn your enemy’s worst fear against them. You’ll own them.”
“The play’s the thing wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king.”
