ed and stede scenepack (our flag means death)

[@balls6076]

i had to cut out the kiss scene due to copyright but you can find it in the mega and google drive links

[@RedMoonSolitary]

Ed's version of flirting is getting someone to stab him, I'm pretty sure. I mean look at him, he clearly just wanted an excuse to hug Stede and stare at him up close.

[@emca2936]

that and to watch others sleep lmao

[@dwaekkisinsanity5233]

stabbing = penetration in this world (middle aged men who love each other world) just look at hannigram

[@FlyawayCoffee]

The way Ed moves his foot to touch Stede’s is everything I need in my life

[@CrazyPangolinLady]

Ed is all about touch. He touches that fabric, he touches Stede a lot. There’s a cool Twitter analysis that points out that he wares fingerless gloves usually, but wears full fingered gloves in the finally.

[@politemenace5781]

@@CrazyPangolinLady I wondered why he wore full gloves at the end. I love that explanation

[@FlyawayCoffee]

@@oreos4843 I got you! 16:48 the zoom out scene on the boat when they get captured by the English, Ed’s foot reaches out for Stede’s

[@ttintagel]

The fancy party destroys me every time. That was probably the first time anyone's ever rushed to Ed's rescue. He's been fighting his own battles since he was a child. His mother couldn't protect him or herself from his father; he ended up having to protect her instead. And then one day this bizarre little man, this f#$%ing lunatic stands up and says, "No; I'll take care of this, I'm not going to let them hurt you." And then he does. It's one of the most romantic things I've ever seen on TV.

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Ooh, I never thought of it like that, but you're absolutely right. That adds another layer of depth to what had seemed like just a comedic incident.

[@hothotheat3000]

The way Ed looks at Stede as the party turns to chaos, equal parts “I underestimated you” “thank you” and “you are SO hot”.

[@apatheticgiraffe7775]

I'm obsessed with this show and all the times Ed looks at Stede, he looks so soft. One of my favourite scenes is when Ed is going through the ship whilst Stede is sleeping and he goes through all of Stede's stuff and he's so impressed with this weird man who has a miniature version of the ship and a library next to open flames. Also when Ed stares at Stede after he sets the ship on fire with passive aggression.

[@therealopaartist]

TECHNICALLY *he* didn’t set it on fire. He just threw on the kindling next to an open flame.

[@apatheticgiraffe7775]

@@therealopaartist you know what, that's a fair point. I said he'd set the ship on fire with passive aggression which is kind of like him throwing kindling onto an open flame because he didn't set the fire, passive aggression did.

[@ttintagel]

HOW does Taika manage to make "I've heard all about you" sound like "Let's get it on, baby?" It's a talent.

[@RedMoonSolitary]

I love Mary's reaction when he says his name is Ed. She's a little surprised but she's still so supportive.

[@errohaze2683]

I love their very first scene together, Stede's bleeding out, and the smile when he hears someone's heard of him. He probably thinks he's dying, but at least someone has heard the enduring tale of the Gentleman Pirate... ...Then he isn't dead, lucky for all of us!

[@RPGDesignatedPaladin]

Perhaps Stede’s introduction to Ed (Blackbeard) represents his detachment from an upper-crust society that never suited him, luring him to the pirate life that calls to both of their souls. It brings them both to their true love. The truth allows to Stede to both control his life’s narrative AND to go find his soulmate... I NEED MORE OF THIS SHOW.

[@ttintagel]

And the way his voice goes up on "tureen!"

[@LimaLecture]

I am a 59-year-old cis-het woman who is COMPLETELY enamored with this show and in particular, the Ed & Stede romance. Two middle-aged guys trying something new with their lives and falling in love -- the goofy, touching sweetness of these two -- just melts my heart. (And it doesn't hurt that Taikia Waititi is freakin' hot as Blackbeard). Thanks for putting this video together -- it will have to do until Season 2 comes along! (I HOPE)

[@voidraptor73]

I, a 31 year old trans queer guy, welcome you and I'm so happy you're with us to enjoy this amazing show! (And yessss, Taikia is damn fine)

[@pookiesis1465]

I always thought Taikia was silly,but yes,he is really hot here. Oh,and I’m a 40 year old cis het black woman

[@loribuettner2930]

I am obsessed with this romance and I am a white 57 year old cis- het woman. I cannot get enough of this show, the artwork, the KZbin compilations, and any news about Taika. What a gift the cast, writers, directors and everyone on the creative team have provided us. The sound track couldn't be more perfect too!

[@deba6468]

I'm 23 years old bisexual woman and im so happy with thid series. Seeing two middle aged men finding romance gives me hope regarding future as i have never had any romantic relationship and plan not to have one for a while longer. This series shows that we can find love and happiness at any age.

[@copycatkillerwithachemicalcut]

fifteen year old bisexual nonbinary kid and i feel EXACTLY the same. its so lovely that this show alone is bringing so many types of people together :)

[@kalynnowlan3509]

Oh man I never realized Ed totally almost tears up when Stede says he wears fine things well 🥺 he didn’t really think he deserved fine things and felt like that was confirmed at the aristocrat party but then Stede made his entire life without even really meaning to ❤️ I love them so much

[@limetreess]

The “oh no I’m Blackbeard 😏🤫” I die

[@ttintagel]

And then he makes the cat eyes before saying, "Shhhh." So sexy.

[@terrymelody9340]

5:59 this scene is where I personally think Ed realised he was in love with Stede

[@TROQUE4]

That was most definitely massive aggression. Anyway, if “u fancy a fine fabric?” Is the new gay pick up line. Followed by the declaration of attraction of “u wear fine things well”

[@caseydopp318]

Passive aggression** not massive lol

[@fishinspacey]

@@caseydopp318it’s a reference to the show lol

[@busg6952]

I first watched this show with my girlfriend. Before I had watched it, I had the kiss spoiled for me. But that didn't mean when it happened I wasn't still in disbelief. So many years of queerbaiting, and this show doesn't even do the will they won't they. They kiss in the first season. It's insane. My gf is going to rewatch it with me once the second season is out! I'm very excited :)

If Stede didn’t turn up, I’d have thought edward would have thought something had happened so would go to find him. Not just accept he wouldn’t come...

[@wicked10.24]

For real!! And something did happen, Nigel's brother took him so. I feel the same, Ed definitely wouldve checked to see what happened 😤

[@politemenace5781]

Ed is insecure. Like massively insecure. He's been waiting for the moment Stede would wake up, see that he's a monster and leave him. He doesn't believe he deserves Stede's love, or a second chance in life, no matter how much he wants both. So of course his first thought would be that Stede left him. That's what's he's been expecting, dreading, all this time. The song that plays when he leaves the dock alone gives a huge hint. The part that says "you made me forget myself, I thought I was someone else, someone good". That's exactly how he feels.

[@clowneryjohnson5208]

Oh God, and I just realized the possible double meaning of him touching the silk in his pocket again afterwards 🥺💖 Obviously he's still ruminating on the whole "You wear fine things well", but also the fact that it's placed over his heart makes it seem like he's touching over his heart going "What...am I feeling right now??"
