I am Obsessed with the gay pirates

i am cringe but i am not free 💔 im cringe and extremely self conscious

modern aus are great don't get me wrong BUT stede bonnet and edward teach were made for a 1970's au where they meet in a greenpeace type of expedition in the ocean because ed is one of the first environment experts fighting against climate change to ensure the level of the sea doesn't get high enough to let thousands of people living in islands like the one where he grew up without a home and stede is using his new found liberty after his divorce to do what he always wanted to do but his father prohibited and that's being a marine biologist ( and also get a boyfriend), without even needing to change the soundtrack of the show

i can totally picture stede in the middle of a dozen bar brawls not fighting anyone just running around trying to save every empty bottle he can spot and, with an armful of them, taking one right out of the hands of a pirate about to smash it against someone's head with a "I will keep this if you don't mind, kind sir" because he has a lot of letters drafted in his mind to send to his beloved edward

not to be dramatic but not having the third season of our flag means death kind of feels like missing a vital organ

To be fair, Stede is definitely in love too. He just doesn’t realize that’s what’s happening. He’s never been in love before, but he’s never had a dear friend either. He probably assumes this is just what real friendship feels like--he doesn’t know that it’s both.

HBO will really do anything except give me Season 3 of Our Flag Means Death huh.
