1x04 Ed telling Stede "don't swallow" as he stuffs Stede full of whiskey to make him a weapon
sorry im still thinking about the toe thing, about how permanent it is, how purposeful it felt.
ed must have had hours to think about it, and he still decided on disabling his first mate, stopping him being able to do his job properly. no matter how impared his thinking, it wasn't a spur of the moment thing. ed has to have had a reason why he decided this was the course of action he would take over any other.
no matter what happens next, things will never ever be able to go back to the way they were before.
the crew can forgive ed for marooning them, and izzy will still be disabled
frenchie and jim can forgive ed for the kidnapping, for the inevitable trauma, and izzy will still be disabled
stede can buy a whole new ships worth of things, and izzy will still be disabled
izzy himself can forgive ed for what he did, recover from the psychological impact, but he will still be disabled
they can grow old, have adventures, retire, but nothing will bring back izzys toe
@strange-aeons only just got around to watching the toe video, and managed to dig up its final form
Can’t wait to see this routine at Gymnix!
1x03: Lucius and Stede gag on the noses from the jar; smash cut to Izzy
i wonder if stede ever heard about the toe thing and if he did what his reaction was
2x01 went way beyond the promise of absolutely unhinged Ed Teach that we were promised in the last 10 minutes of 1x10, of course, but predictably I fucking LOVED the toe escalation
it's introduced with Frenchie suggesting that "he's cut off at least two more of your toes, hasn't he?" as an offscreen action that Frenchie is supposing took place – do we believe this? it's in question! BUT NO, next Izzy scene we've got Ed "and that's another toe. take your boot off" and it's INSANE that this is true, that the most abhorrent thing to happen in all of s1 has been happening casually, not even where we can see it, and with regularity, on the Breakup Boat Of Horrors
take your boot off take your boot off TAKE YOUR BOOT OFF, Izzy's just been fucking DOING IT when Ed says so. in 1x10 Ed had to ambush him in the night and it was the moral event horizon and in 2x01 now Izzy's helping him do it (for fear of his own life, the crew's, Edward's)
2x01 is fucked up! I love it it's so! fucked! up!
the Ed/Izzy codependency post from @napneeders I just reblogged has reminded me of this great set about how Ed and Izzy touch each other by @laszlocravenworth:
tenderness! violence! tenderness as violence! confident, entitled intimacy in caressing each other's hands and feet and faces!
