The Widow Bonnet, I presume.
your reputation precedes you
hey y’all, sorry for my silence recently, but my friend wanted me to share this here!
There's so much negativity around Izzy's death so I wanted to address some of the points I keep seeing thrown around.
"Izzy's death was pointless"
No, he just had his big speech about how basically they can kill him but they cannot kill the movement. That is a clear paraller to a lot of real life protestors of unjustice. He died protecting the community, he died so the community could go on.
"Izzy's death made his healing pointless"
No it didn't. Healing is always good, feeling happiness and belonging are ALWAYS worth it. We never know how long we've got, doesn't mean we gotta stop trying to be better or happier. His healing was still real. It still mattered.
"Izzy's character arc was left unfinished, it's bad writing"
Oh my god. If you open any writing guide about how to write impactful deaths, and the first thing that comes up is to leave some part of their arc unfinished. And his arc did go through quite a beautiful line, sure there could've been more but his story didn't end like, mid arc. As a writer, of course you want to make the audience sad when a character dies. It's good storytelling. Good stories are supposed to make us feel.
"Izzy died on the arms of his abuser"
Where the hell did this idea come from? Ed and Izzy have been in a toxic codependent relationship way before this show started. You could argue that Izzy was Ed's abuser, but that is not the argument I want to make here. Yes, we saw Ed driven to madness shoot Izzy on screen, but we know Izzy's the one that forced him to be Blackbeart when he didn't want it anymore. There's turmoil all around them. But the final moment is them finally meeting as people, not as componenta of Blackbeard.
"Izzy's death was unnecessarily awful"
His death was sad, yes, but it was quite beautiful as far as deaths go. He was surrounded by family who cared for him. He was loved, and accepted as he is. He knew his legacy will be carried on.
"They killed off the only character that showed us healing is never too late"
Did we watch the same show? That begins with then unhappy 40+ year old Stede deciding it's finally time to reach for his dreams? Where we see Blackbeard slowly gaining back his humanity? Where Black Pete starts off as toxically masculine dude but ends up in a soft gay marriage? Where most of the crew wanted to mutiny but then they realized being soft is good, actually. Jim's whole purpose in life being revenge but them learning to let that go and instead concentrate on love and fun and family. And so on. Izzy's arc is beautiful, but he's not the only person healing who thought it was too late already.
"Izzy's death was bury your gays trope"
No, what, no. In a pirate show where everyobody is queer some queer people will die. Bury your gays is about only having one or few queer characters and killing them off while the straights get their happily ever afters. This is so far from that.
Also, I want people to be aware of the phenomenon, where creators of diverse shows are subjected to more critism than those of non diverse shows. If this intrests you, Sarah Z on Youtube made a great video on it called Double standards and diverse media. Our flag means death has given us so much, queer love story with a happily ever after, finding community, nonbinary character. And the creators have always been so kind to fans, so let's show them tht kindness back. Because critizicing this one aspect can easily turn to seeming like the whole story is just unwanted. That stories like Ed and Stede's aren't worth telling. And I'm so aftraid that will happen, when just now for the first time in years we are finally getting queer stories.
Also, I understand people are sad. I am sad too - Izzy was an amazing character and his death was sad but that's just. Good writing. You can grieve, but trying to turn it into a moral or dramaturgy issue is just not a good look. And attacking the creators of this wonderful show is just horrible.
Remember - this fandom is a safe space ship 🏴☠️🏳️🌈
it’s so wild to me how if and when Izzy kisses someone this season, it’s LITERALLY anybody’s game. I can think of like six people just off the top of my head who are totally in the running and on top of that, with the shit in the promo photos for the new episodes? This is ANYONE’S game
well this aged like fucking milk
literally made myself sick to my stomach today thinking about ed and stede at work so thats how im doing
I’m not worried about Ed and Stede’s relationship. I know full well by the end they’ll be together and things will be better. I know that they’ll probably apologize for what was said on both sides and talk like adults like they did in e4. What I’m worried about is the twenty five fuckin minutes they have to execute that, and everything else
prev because yeah if they separate them again at the end, even if it’s amicable, idk how I’m gonna handle it. I just want them to be together so bad and it’s gonna be genuinely hard for me to appreciate s2 as much as I have been if that’s how it ends

I know that they’ll probably apologize for what was said on both sides and talk like adults like they did in e4. What I’m worried about is the twenty five fuckin minutes they have to execute that, and everything else
Ed & Stede calling each other my friend (2.06 + 2.07)
How y’all be literally fuckin and still being like
David Jenkins is really about to have to pull one of these to pull off the finale
I know Ed and Stede will get back together in the finale, it’s clear from the promos. but that’s a week from now, which is basically a year. which, if you think about it, is actually 10 years. this is cruel
#I need them to stop accepting job offers on a whim, it's okay to be unemployed 🙏
I DONT SEE ANYONE TALKING ABOUT THIS??? FUCK IS THIS….
OK but what would happen if you wore the Laszlo Cravensworth Cursed Hat and the Stede Bonnet Cursed Jacket together
Would the curses counteract each other or would you just explode immediately
you would serve cunt that’s what you’d do (but also probably explode)
you’re laughing. Stede kept the cursed shirt and you’re laughing.
feeling like we need to do this again. so now - what do you think the gentlebeard love scene will be?
vague glimpses/out of frame, the implications
we see the lead-up, but nothing else
we see some artistic shots of them going at it
we see them doing it briefly
we SEE them doing the whole shabang
