This could just be me, but does anyone else feel like *this* is the way Ed and Izzy used to be?
Before Stede, before Ed got disillusioned and Izzy got jaded from cleaning up his messes?
You don't get to the point they did in S2E2 without love gone really bad.
#ofmds2spoilers
Does it hurt when you think about the fact Izzy never heard Jim say, "He's our dick," or Fang crying over him being shot, or when Ed says "I loved you - best I could?
this scene moves me every time because izzy's STILL pushing. he wants stede to blame him. to threaten him. to yell. take a toe.
but while stede is many things in this moment - crushed, resentful, furious, he’s not blackbeard. and isn’t that contrast just beautiful.

Out of all the ways The Canyon theorized how Izzy got that wound to his head, I don't think anyone imagined failed suicide attempt after Ed asked him to blow his brains out.

The look on his face at the sound of the gunshot.
The tears.
The break in his voice.
The fact his next act is to drive the ship into a storm and kill them all.
Ed and Izzy are a love story, tragic and painful as it is so far.

Izzy training shirtless happens, and all I can think about is how he's coping by training Stede because he heard Ed said something nice about him.
HOW DOES THIS SHOW FUCK ME UP THIS MUCH?!?!
Gay people can NOT flirt normally. It's all stuff like jumping in front of a firing squad for their co-captain or signing their freedom away to the English.
Ed: Whose turn is it to give the pep-talk?
Stede: *sighing* Izzy's
Izzy: Fuck shit up out there, but don’t die.
Roach: *wiping away a tear* Inspirational.

As an old-school veteran of ship wars and queer baiting in TV, I never thought they could do Steddyhands because of the backlash from people who hated Izzy.
After these three episodes, I stand corrected.
And I have hope.

So I know the going theory is Stede holds the heart and Izzy is the spear.
But in S2E3, Stede carries a trident.
So what if Stede is the spear and Izzy is the heart?
You want to know why we're fucking pissed? You give *this character *this line, with the trauma you did, give him *this growth, and then tell us he wants to die, and *has to die for Ed to let go of something they both built.
To channel my inner Izzy, fuck off

"I think Izzy's deeply in love with Blackbeard, and it's a very dysfunctional kind of love" - David Jenkins
"I think he wants to be better...he just doesn't know how to be." - Con O'Neill on Izzy.
Store Worker: Would a Izzy Hands please come to the front desk?
Izzy, arriving at the desk: What's the problem?
Store Worker: points to Stede and Ed : I believe they belong to you?
Stede & Ed, simultaneously: We got lost
Izzy : I didn’t even bring you fuckers with me
Steddyhands
Izzy : Fuck off, Lucius. Nobody actually believes that Stede is in love with me
Lucius, to The Crew: Lets put it to a vote. Raise your hand if you think that Stede is helplessly in love with Izzy.
*Everyone raises their hand*
Izzy: Ed, put your fucking hand down
Izzy : You’re giving me a sticker?
Stede : Not just a sticker. That is a sticker of a kitty saying “me-wow!”
Izzy : I’m not a fuckin' preschooler.
Stede, sniffs : Fine, I’ll take it back-
Izzy : No! I earned this, fuck off, twat!

Someone explain why we have money to send for another countries defense but we can't afford Medicare, social security is still running out, and we have starving children. Explain it to me like I'm 5.
