My The Night Agent head canon is that when he is away on missions, Peter texts Rose a picture of a troll from every new burner phone so she knows he is okay. I am looking forward to S2, I hope they don’t shoe horn her in like Kim from 24, but I also don’t want them to forget her.

So I’ve been thinking a lot about how the reunion will go.
I’ve read (and enjoyed!) a lot of fics where Stede saying he loves Ed has Ed’s facade cracking, and forgiveness and love come rushing through, and all is well. And that is genuinely lovely to read, but I don’t think that’s likely to be how it unfolds in the show.
Fundamentally, that’s because I don’t think the problem is that Ed has concluded his feelings were unrequited and is thus embracing his fury of the pirate scorned, and so could therefore be placated by Stede’s returned affections. Rather, in the most brutal of Ed’s actions at the end of the season, he has decided to convince himself that love - the ultimate “fine thing,” the very softest and gentlest of luxuries - is a weakness, a poison, a threat, that must be blackened out.
As such, Stede isn’t going to have to convince him that they love each other - Ed knows that, that’s the problem. Because now he’s going to scorn it and refuse it and curse it, because all embracing love did was leave him open to being run through and dashed on the rocks.
Instead, Stede is going to have to have to convince him that love is WORTH something, and that’s going to be hard work now that this fledgling thing between them has been maimed and stepped on and tossed away. By the time they get back together, that they hurt each other more and worse and maybe on purpose this time, that they fumble through messy apologies, work through their hurts and fears and angers, it won’t be shiny and new anymore. It’ll be a tatty old thing - but hey, sometimes the old things are the best things, right?
So a few things after rewatching Our Flag Means Death twice in less than two weeks (deranged I know), my first thought is, will Ed discover about Stede's supposed death and then feel guilty about becoming blackbeard again, OR will he find Ed before he hears about it (I think for drama and maybe gangst it'll be the first one) - also how cool would it be if let say Stede catches wind that Ed was last seen in the Okracoke Inlet (cause that's where historically blackbeard was killed and that's where the real Stede Bonnet caught wind of BB's whereabouts). Then it's like the reverse of when BB first met SB in that it's SB that saves BB :)
omgggg sorry I left this so long. i'm terrible at replying
personally I'm not sure Ed will find out... if he does, he'd hopefully recognise a FuckeryTM and we'd be able to avoid the majority of the deep angst which makes sense as it's a comedy show... although I would love to see if someone ELSE finds out and the crew gangsts about whether or not to tell him/shenanigans are involved in making sure he doesn't find out
it could be an interesting way to explore some things about him too - for example can he read? would there be any point hiding newspapers etc from him? how would the crew do that now that NONE OF THEM CAN REEAAAAD (as stated by Lucius earlier) - although we don't yet know if BB's team can read, eg. Izzy might be able to? Can Ed? Can Jim, and has been pretending they can't (as they were still undercover when Lucius told us)
“I-I—” Luke starts, putting his hand on the back of his head and shuffling.
“Everything alright?” Julie asks. “It’s not like you to not speak your mind.”
“Yeah,” he chuckles nervously. “Usually Alex is trying to get me to shut up. If he could see me now…” He runs his fingers through his hair. “It’s just, I-I don’t want to make you uncomfortable, but can’t I—”
When he doesn’t finish the sentence, Julie moves closer to him, which makes his heart race faster. It sounds like Alex when he’s in an anxious mood, sticks slamming against the drum set with a speed Luke can’t keep up with. “Yeah?”
“I just, don’t want to try this in front of them.” He says quietly, reaching out.
Before he can talk himself out of it, Luke reaches down and grabs Julie’s hand. He waits for the disappointment, he waits for his hand to go through hers, but it does. Its rests there and he can’t help it, he chokes out a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding. It’s shaking and filled with relief, his eyes blinking away the sting of tears that threaten to come.
Luke hadn’t realized how strongly that this was what he was afraid of. This moment here, this touch. He’d be afraid that everything changed when they didn’t cross over, when they all embraced. But not as much as if it’d go away. If he had a moment, when he felt alive and wanted and safe, only for it to… vanish.
Letting out a weak chuckle, Luke takes his hand out of Julie’s. “I just wanted to make sure.” He admits sheepishly. Except when he looks at Julie, she seems as relieved as he is. She smiles at him and any embarrassment he felt moments before vanishes. “Good.”

OFF THE EDGE OF GREAT can be found HERE.
I feel like we won’t see Lucius until like, six episodes into s2, enough time for the crew to reconnect and all really think he’s dead and mourn him, and then he’ll show up in some dramatic fashion at the end of an episode (some kind of rescue with Anne Bonney and Mary Reed??), cut to black, and then the next episode is a whole Lucius-centric flashback of his merry adventures

Ok this vid says they should use Lay All Your Love On Me during a fight with/against Anne Bonny and Mary Reed, and YES but also, WHAT IF oh my god okay
What if Ed encounters one of them and Stede encounters the other, and they bond over being in a lovers quarrel or feeling wronged by love because Anne and Mary are ALSO on the outs, and then when they all run into each other ITS TWO ANGRY BITTER LOVELORN COUPLES REUNITING, and they have a huge brawl/sword fight/battle set to ABBA, half of each couple on either side. Can YOU IMAGINE.
(Also I think Anne Bonny and Mary Reed should be played by Vanessa Bayer and Kristen Stewart, hashtag Totino’s lesbian pirate supremacy)
This shot/pose is getting a callback in s2, calling it now
Idk I just think the very last episode of ofmd should end with a semi-in-character, semi-fourth-wall-breaking musical number like Ella Enchanted or Shrek
