just had (evil) thoughts

so Ed gets rid of the silk first, right? He lets it go to the wind. then he gets rid of Lucius, then all of Stede's nice things, then his crew (save for Jim and Frenchie).

he puts on the Big Bad Scary Kraken persona and says this:

"Farewell Bonnet's playthings. Onto the next."

does that. does that mean he views his red piece of silk as one of 'Bonnet's Playthings' as well?

does that mean that Ed thought his heart was being toyed with? but does that also mean that he nevertheless believed it still belonged to Stede?

like yes, you may have been reckless with it, but it was yours anyway.

and maybe that's part of why he abandons it. maybe he didn't think it belonged to him anymore. maybe it became Stede's the moment he held it with both hands and treated it with care despite how 'tatty and old' it was.

#im sorry for this post #truly sincerely but i was just thinking about the order he gets rid of stuff for my wip #also i find it interesting that he calls all of stede's crew and his stuff 'playthings' because like #that implies that stede wasn't a real pirate. just a child playing with toys #but we're shown throughout the season that ed very much believes that stede is a pirate #he doesn't doubt that of him for even a second #even when stede tells him he traded gunpowder for marmalade ed is like yep that's a sound decision to me #anyway sorry for the tangent sorry for this post i just had to word vomit ok goodbye #ofmd #our flag means death #ofmd meta #gentlebeard #blackbonnet #edward teach #stede bonnet #oh we thinkin?
