My darling boys decided to visit me today :')

Thank you my beloved riverhag for that lovely caption ;; @riverhag2

[ID: Digital illustration of a modern era Izzy and Roach standing in the rain, under Roach's umbrella. Roach is in a brown coat, multicolor knit scarf and a mustard yellow knight beanie. Izzy's in a grey flat cap, blue knit jumper and a leather jacket with patches on it. Izzy's holding onto a handkerchief patterned like Roach's mama's sash and Roach's umbrella patterned like a yellow smiley face. The illustration is captioned "I think it's time for that cup of tea, duck." /end ID]

Ok we all know that I am not the world's foremost Izzy enjoyer but that doesn't mean I'm not happy for him in a vague sort of way. So here are some half-formed thoughts from my morning commute.

You want to fix that old man? Okay. I don't partake because see above I do not enjoy him, but consider:

Edizzy won't fix him. The whole point is this makes him worse. My favorite part of his arc is how he doesn't begin to heal until he releases his fixation on Ed and starts forming his own identify outside of Being Blackbeard's First Mate. Plus, relating to Izzy in the way that Izzy wants is literally traumatizing for Ed and I don't want that for him.

Steddyhands/Stizzy won't fix him because a) see above, b) stede frankly forgets about him the moment he stops talking, c) Ed and Stede are obsessed with each other. While I enjoy giving them a third to play with for sexy times, Izzy would hate this and so would they.

Rizzy, though? Roach would fix him. He's a sadist, he would step on Izzy the way he wants and he would like it. Izzy would bluster and try to manipulate him and Roach would roll his eyes and say "I can always stab you instead" and everyone would have a nice time. Plus I feel like Roach would give great aftercare, and there's plenty of height difference to sexualize. And I think Roach would have a good time also.

biblically accurate height difference 🙏🏻

i think rizzy has real potential because my problem with most izzy ships is it's completely unclear what the other partner is getting out of the relationship and it usually feels like the author just wanted to assign izzy a boyfriend as some sort of reward for being the author's favorite character. however i know exactly what roach would get out of a relationship with izzy (he is canonically a sadist and would enjoy spending time with the caribbean's weirdest masochist) and he's too stable and well-adjusted in his chaotic way to let izzy manipulate him or verbally abuse him, if izzy started any bullshit he'd just end up eating rat poison and roach would walk away whistling
