Here's the thing: Stede didn't enjoy or get a thrill out of killing Ned. He was fundamentally upset and traumatised by it. Not only did he have immediate flashbacks to traumatic moments in his childhood, but he then fled the crew to go and sit in his room and cry. When Ed knocked on the door, he was sitting on his own in a dark room, looking completely crushed.
Tumblr media
But the key thing, and potentially the reason why he was able to move on from that moment (and why he was able to get - briefly - swept up in the infamy of it all rather than remaining upset and traumatised), is that he wasn't left alone to sit and marinate in these feelings. Because Ed came to find him. Ed's formative trauma - the trauma that has shaped and moulded his entire life, rising up in his darkest moments and making him feel like an unloveable monster - is an act of violence he committed in both self-defence and defence of someone he loved. Exactly like Stede did with Ned. He's the embodiment of what happens if that sort of trauma is allowed to fester. And he didn't let that happen to Stede.
Tumblr media
Ed refused to let him be alone with this, instead appearing at his door to offer comfort and understanding and support, and, most crucially, love (particularly important considering Ned's taunting that Ed wouldn't be interested in Stede anymore if he went through with this). That soft little 'you okay?' is everything, because it's exactly the softness, the love without judgement, that Ed didn't get in the aftermath of killing his dad.
There's a reason why, despite Stede initially grabbing Ed and doing a bit of ye olde wall slamming, that very quickly fizzled into something much softer, with Stede practically collapsing into Ed and Ed circling his arms around Stede comfortingly and protectively. It's two people coming together around a trauma they both now share, seeking comfort and love and support in one another.
Tumblr media
And yeah, the next day, for a moment, Stede got caught up in the infamy and attention he was getting for killing Ned, but that's fundamentally not who he is. This is who he is. And this isn't Stede getting turned on by violence or enjoying being a bloodthirsty pirate or embodying toxic masculinity. It's the opposite of that.
This is a man deeply traumatised by an act of violence he has committed, being loved and supported and held through it by another man who is deeply traumatised by a similar act of violence he committed, and loving and supporting and holding him right back because neither of them need to suffer alone anymore.

currently confused seeing ppl claiming to like Steve Rogers being angry at his July 4th birthday just being US military propaganda, even tho that's entirely in line with Steve's character and how "Captain America" even came to be
it's like ppl are thinking Steve just put on red white & blue tights and spandex and called himself Cap'n Merica of his own accord after getting serumed... but the Cap persona was entirely a US propaganda creation in and out of universe, and Steve has always expressed discontent at being treated like a propaganda tool. Even when Steve was on the battlefield, he was treated as a tool for shooting biased war press reels. The origins of Cap has a whole thing of Steve being kept out of the way so the US flag uniform wouldn't be caught in more gruesome missions while Bucky is sent to do assassinations. So much of the persona of Cap is based on propaganda being used to sublimate Steve's own identity in favor of generals with agendas. And Steve time and time again showing his distaste at being played like a puppet and rebelling against those agendas and authorities is a repeated thing. It's thematic, and a mirror to Bucky's loss of identity as well
A core part Steve's identity like his birthday getting fabricated makes perfect sense. Idk why people would be upset at Steve not having the American Patriot birthday when it's entirely in line thematically with what Cap even is to the real person who had that persona pushed onto him. it makes perfect sense
Yeah when they say Steve's birthday is July 4th, it's really more like 'Steve's' birthday 'is.' 😅
Interestingly, I don't think we don't know for sure that it's his real birthday in the MCU.
But we do know that's the birthday Steve put down on his last fake enlistment card:

And what appears in his SHIELD file:

So who knows? 🤷‍♀️
Could it be that MCU Steve's official birthday is 4th July because Steve himself was being a little shit on his enlistment form? 🤦‍♀️ (And/or, just really bad at lying??)
I wonder how that would affect his feelings about it, if so.
Would he, at first, be smug that he has managed to bamboozle the authorities? Sheepish that he forgot to correct that detail? Would it take on a bittersweet edge, once the whole 'Captain America' debacle happens? And would it then become relief, when he realises he finally has one thing about himself that actually gets to remain private?
Could it be that it really is MCU!Steve's birthday, and that that itself was part of the inspiration for an 'Uncle Sam' type figure being built around Steve? 🤔 Lots of possibilities, when you think about it!
Myself, I'm partial to the old pre-war trope of kid Steve and Bucky going to watch the fireworks on 4th July, and Bucky telling Steve they're all for him. 🥺
Having that birthday really could've affected his life in little ways. Like, imagine he was born premature and it was his birthday that lit an extra little fire under the doctors, to make sure he makes it?
(Can't you just imagine the newspapers doing a '4th July Baby Makes It Against the Odds!!' type piece? 😭)
Sidenote: When we talk about Steve/Cap being kept squeaky clean, out of the way of anything that might drag 'the flag' into disrepute, while Bucky is sent off to do the real dirty jobs... that's the case in the comics, but not in MCU, where Bucky is not shown doing anything -- ideologically speaking -- that Steve/Cap isn't.
It's also interesting to think of Steve's birth in terms of WWI and when it physically could've fallen, in order to fit with his father's deployment (in the American Army, not the Irish, as per CATFA).
One idea I considered is Steve having been born in December, so he could've been born on the Irish Independence Day. 😊

The thing with Stede getting any sort of piratey makeover is that Ed would absolutely fall over himself with how attractive he finds it, but he wouldn't be falling over himself because it's piratey - he'd be falling over himself because it's Stede.
Yeah, he'd lose his shit over the low-cut top and the earring - of course he would, he's a human being - but he loses his shit just as much over Stede in the frilly shirts and fancy swishy coats and powdery wigs and sleep masks and nightcap and also the teeny tiny little reading glasses.
And he'd make damned sure Stede knows that Ed found him just as sexy before the makeover as he does after it.
