Youdelight-itolerate - Steena Longstocking

If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.

saw my ex at 7/11 and looked like i just crawled out of a dumpster 🤦🏼‍♀️

You can't tell me that Hannibal wouldn't let Will have this one... as a little treat. And then everyone would stand up and clap.

(Ifkyk. If you don't, prepare yourself if you look it up.)

Thinking about Stede, and how I've always thought of him as a character who deals a lot with self-loathing, and now I'm not so sure, because if Stede really hated himself, like if that were a core part of his character/personality, we wouldn't have this show.

Because throwing your entire life away for a shot at happiness isn't self-loathing behavior. There's another post going around about Stede thinking about himself as a child when Nigel says "and you cried all the time and liked to pick flowers" and Stede just looks a bit rueful and says "yeah, little bit." You can tell Stede loves that little boy, and really, what is buying a pirate ship and filling it with fancy clothes and chandeliers and odd characters if not trying to give that kid a life where he might have had a chance to fit in, a life he might have liked?

So Stede hates his life, not himself. He loves pageantry but not the people who would shun you for using the wrong spoon. He loves fine fabric, and knows anyone can appreciate them if given the opportunity. He knows there's a life for him out there, if he can just find the right people in the right place at the right time.

...but then, at the academy, while he is the midst of self-recrimination and guilt, finally having realized that he might have caused his family some real problems by leaving without a word in the night, and knowing that Blackbeard would still be the fiercest pirate in the Caribbean if he had never met Stede (debatable, since Ed was looking for an out anyway), Chauncey takes him into the woods, tells him that Stede Bonnet is not human, that he is a plague, that he defiles beautiful things.

And after 40-odd years of thinking 'I know I don't fit here, but that doesn't mean i can't fit somewhere,' Stede says, "I think you're right. In fact, I completely agree." Stede is the problem. He is wrong and the world is right. He could fit in if he weren't deficient. He could do all the things he is supposed to do if he weren't broken.

So he goes back to the life he hated, because it's what he deserves.

You’re not ready for this edit

mood… (also can you believe an 18th century pirate invented fanfiction) | OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH

In a way, as painful as it is, it’s great seeing who the legendary Blackbeard really is (Not Ed, not just Blackbeard, the Legendary Blackbeard)

From the beginning of the show they tell us about this terrifying, monstrous pirate, Blackbeard. Then we meet him and see he’s just a dork who is bored and really likes Stede’s lifestyle. Our thoughts are just, “Oh, he must be just a dork with a bad reputation”

And when Izzy or Calico Jack say things like “You’ve changed” or “The Blackbeard I knew would have killed them in a heartbeat”, and our reaction is like Stede’s. “That is absurd” “Maybe these people don’t know Ed” “Our Ed, doing that, being a monster, let me laugh”

So when Ed then throws Lucius off-board with a cold, disturbing expression and cuts Izzy’s finger off and makes him eat it we are shocked.

We didn’t think Blackbeard was this. Izzy and Calico tried to warn us, their characters told us, but we didn’t listen. Because we are so in love with Ed as Stede is, and we know Ed, but we didn’t know Blackbeard

Could I leave my flowery Hannibal Lecter without a similarly flowery Will Graham? Of course not!

  I hope you like it 💙
