The most spontaneous thing I did so far in my life, was right after college when I was 20. I had gone back home after school to Florida but moved in with a roommate in Jacksonville after a week at my parents but that situation was not working out. After a night of partying to not deal with anything, my best friend at the time, asked me to go with her in 2 days to go back up north to Long Island to move and stay with her sister and her family. I, in a moment of impulsiveness, said okay let's do it. Stayed in Long Island for 8 months, loved her family but decided to move again ( in total that year, from 97 to 98, I moved 6 times, and 28 times overall in my life so far), let's just say their was a rift between sisters and I didn't want to come between family.

Would I do it again? Well quite simply yes.

The Art of Fuckery is Ed’s journey from believing he cannot be with Stede, in fact must kill him, to understanding there might be a chance at a different future.

Ed frames the situation as a ‘mess’. He is too close to Stede, and with that has made a complete hash of his masculinity apparently, becoming too ‘soft’; according to Izzy and the boys, that just won’t do.

The opposite of mess might be order, neatness, rigidity, but those are the very things that are killing Ed. The boredom and predictability of it all. Unfortunately, that’s what Izzy thrives upon - the rules. This is how it’s done - life, masculinity, power. Don’t stray from the path or else.

But it’s ‘mess’ that saves things in the end. Ed breaking down and becoming a mess in the bathtub allows emotional truths to be spoken between Ed and Stede, deepens their bond, possibly saves Stede’s life. And Izzy’s rigidity during the duel, as opposed to Stede’s flex and spontaneity, is what helps Stede win, again saving him.

The show is about mess, really. Risk, chance, things not going to plan, and still knowing tomorrow might work out. Mess can be a negative idea, but it can be about letting go of the rules, allowing yourself to be in free-fall, and believing in a better future which is yet unknown.
