Valentine's might have passed, but these boys are still cozy v///v

(Exchange gift for the lovely @darkdancer72 , I am blowing you kisses again hehe)

(Part 1/?)

Mum: “He already has massive aggression. I think Stede likes it.”

Me: “Um. You think Stede likes…?”

Mum: “He thinks Edward is silly, not scary.

Me: “OH.” 💀

She also has *so much* to say about Izzy Hands.

Mum: “He is so jealous. Of course he goes looking to spoil fun.”

Me: “Yeah, I think so. But he has been serving Blackbeard for like, decades…and now Stede is his new favourite.”

Mum: “Well, if he wanted Blackbeard he should have said something!”

Me: “True! I think Izzy needs someone less chaotic and more devoted to be honest.”

Mum: “Like Stede? Or more like that lovely boy with the book.”

Me: “Maybe!” 😭 “I just …wait, do you mean Lucius?”

Mum: “Yes. I think he needs someone soft and sweet to melt his cold, black heart.” 💀🖤 #Sprizzy

AND THEN I lost my fucking marbles because she seems to be under the impression that Ed and Izzy are divorced. Like, canonically. (Honestly, it tracks.)

Mum: “He has left like this before. Does it always end like this?

Me: “I ask myself the same question.” 😔😭(#EdIzzyMoment)

Mum: “He is not taking the divorce well at all.”

Me: “What was that about the long and hard rueing?”

Mum: “He needs it. He will be back.”

This is a genuine question to all the sprizzy shippers, because I sincerely never understood the appeal. In the first season they only ever had hostile exchanges, yet already then, people would ship the two.

I would often see the image of a deleted scene, where Izzy was violently grabbing Lucius by the hair and the latter had a painful expression on his face. The image was used as a sort of example of their ship, but why? One party was being violent towards the other and the other seemed uncomfortable/pained by it?

Sure, they were a little less hostile towards each other in season 2, but once again, they didn't have many 1on1 conversations, only 2 that I can think of. During one of them, Izzy smoked a cigarette that was in Lucius' mouth and then proceeded to put it back there, but Lucius slapped it away in distress. During the other, Izzy gave Lucius a wooden shark and told him to let go of his trauma, which was somewhat sweet.
