cjizzy for ship ask game!
1. What made you ship it?
In yet another step in the Izzy shipping rotation it was inevitable methinks. Given how much history the two of them (+ Ed) are implied to have, I think it's absolutely delicious to think of the ways their dynamic could be. Just based on the vibes the two of them have separately it could potentially be an "opposites attract" kinda situation. But! it's important I think that in the one episode in s1 where we meet CJ, Izzy is nowhere to be found. So aside from all of that, the fact that Izzy asked CJ for help in handing Stede off to the English and he agreed, and the "sentimental bastard"... There's just. A lot that is happening there. You feel me?
2. What are your favorite things about the ship?
I love the vibe of Izzy and Jack being like these two strays nobody wants in the end aside from each other. I love the idea that they could find a soft place to land in each other, all after years of getting abandoned and stuck in situations where being abandoned would be a mercy. And like yeah, there's definitely CJ calling Izzy "babygirl" in there, but I think that quiet, soft moments between them could be really beautiful.
3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
I don't think there is? I just love these two. If Ed and Stede end up happily together, I could definitely see CJ coming back and offering Izzy an out.
