I was just watching an interview with Rhys talking about how in the first episode Stede isn't really commanding his crew, he's essentially going "please play with me!" because he's deeply lonely and has never really had a friend. And it made me think of how when he meets Ed, Ed is instantly so willing to PLAY with him (because honestly that's what their entire first encounter is) and now I'm crying 😭
A) HOW DARE YOU, HOW DARE HE
B) What...no link??
C) hjskdjfajhkdfahk And like Ed is also looking for someone to PLAY WITH HIM IN THE SPACE (e.g. what do those clouds look like?) and have fun and be whimsical. They just start having the BEST FUCKING TIME the instant they meet because they are the exact weirdo the other one needed. TRUE LOVE SOULMATE ASS SHIT FFFFFFF ugh them.
Reaaaally puts "farewell Bonnet's playthings" in a new sensitive light
