A widow's life isn't nearly as bad as it's made out to be. The children have adjusted to the loss of their father far better than expected. And I find myself growing in ways I never before thought possible. But perhaps widowdom's most unexpected gift has been community.
Surviving one's spouse is nature's greatest gift.

My number one favorite thing about Stede Bonnet is that he is an unmitigated fucking lunatic.
My second favorite thing about Stede Bonnet is that he brings out the same kind of unmitigated lunacy is every single fucking person he interacts with.
Mary Bonnet, bless her fucking heart, tries to kill him because she was better off when he was dead, and takes absolutely no objection to publicly faking his death in the most outrageous way possible. She's a fucking icon.
Doug literally thought he was fucking his widowed student until Stede just showed up out of nowhere, got drunk at an art showing, threatened to make him bleed, then brought him to their home, let him make his wife breakfast in bed, and helped them fake his death
Izzy Hands begins as a long suffering, but ultimately controlled, character even given his obvious rage issues. Throughout his association with Stede, Izzy loses twice in combat because of stupid shit and is literally losing his mind enough to sell them out to the English with the help of Spanish Jackie, who canonically runs a bar Izzy hates.
Lucius Spriggs, allergic to work and bringing "ugh" vibes to anything vaguely unpleasant, drinks juice from the nose jar, announces Stede as "the cream of the caribbean" to a bar full of violent weirdos, and ends up basically playing therapist to fucking Blackbeard and defending Stede's honor as a pirate to the fucking English Navy.
Edward Teach was already pretty fucking nuts pre-Bonnet, but Stede drives him to embrace his weirdness while they're together. Within a day of actually meeting, they've swapped clothes and are staying up all night together talking like teens. When Stede leaves, he singlehandedly drives him so far off the fucking deep end that he adds eyeliner almost as bad as mine was in the early 2000s to his fetish gear and goes on a seven-seas fucking rampage.
My theory is that, after meeting Stede, you'll be at least 30% more insane and I love that about him. Chaotic goals.

(ID: Evelyn rushes at Stede angrily and Mary holds her back)

I feel like y’all don’t know that Doug is the It’s Free Real Estate guy

That makes the whole thing so much funnier to me. I cried when they revealed who Doug was

God I just. I adore Mary Bonnet I really fucking do. That woman MADE A LIFE FOR HERSELF she was abandoned and she THRIVED and built a community of women and a painting career, found a man who would encourage her pursuits and make her breakfast in bed. Stede at the end of Episode 10 is freedom, but Mary at the beginning is freedom too, she wakes up in that bed and it's such a powerful image of happiness and her just being. Free.

Fair assumption on her part honestly.

it's very sexy of the ofmd writers to make the only hetero romance in the show center mary, who spent years in an arranged marriage with a closeted gay man that she didn't share a single interest with. she and stede weren't happy. she didn't understand him or what was wrong but she tried.
they could've had it be that she's mad at him for leaving but nope. she's got a good boyfriend, a group of supportive besties, and a thriving career. we probably won't see her again but I'm glad they ended they gave her the ending she deserved.

I appreciate how Mary's style changes after Stede leaves. While living with Stede, her clothing (while beautiful) feels quite restrained and binding. After Stede leaves, her clothing becomes so much more relaxed. <3

But I will say this: You're home. Fine. We're married. Alright! We made a contract in front of God, and I am bound to honor that. But in your absence, I have managed to create a life that I quite like, and I won't destroy that life just because you've decided to unabandon your family on a whim.
