No but Ed and Stede both reading "we wrote our names on each other in permanent ink" while gnossiennes no.5 plays changed the trajectory of my life I had to leave the room and take a minute it was so ROMANTIC
#ofmds2spoilers
"Let's live if possible. I mean I just got back together with my boyfriend! Oh, can I say that?"
"Actually I fucking love it"
YOU'RE TELLING ME THEY CUT STEDE CALLING ED HIS BOYFRIEND‼️‼️‼️
Remember when we were coming up with fun theories for why Ed was wearing this jacket? I don't think anyone could have guessed it was bc Buttons had transmogrified himself into a seagull 😂

Ed doing a little shimmy as Stede slowly moves into their kiss like they're literally nervous teenagers with huge crushes that can't quite believe they get to smooch again
#ofmds2spoilers
#ofmds2spoilers
"I panicked" "Ed, you're panicking!"
No because Stede can see Ed panicking exactly the same way he did last season which was thinking the other is changing too much and they're moving too fast and he can't lose him again–
Their thumb war was the cutest sweetest most naturally romantic thing I've ever seen in my entire life and I would bet on it being Taika and Rhys improvising
#ofmds2spoilers
Still processing this is Stede Bonnet desperately pulling Edward Teach deeper into their kiss. He's never experienced this desire before, practically starving now he knows what he wants, and my god does he want Ed bad

Stede looking absolutely smitten and nervous after being told he wears fine things well because he realises how special YWFTW was for *both* of them and this is Ed hinting for a do-over of their missed kiss 🥹
#ofmds2spoilers
Getting reassured your boyfriend saw your special moves? Receiving the signature Edward Teach pat pats? Being called BABE?? Stede is truly living his dream in this scene
#ofmds2spoilers
Me before ep 7
thinking Ed + Stede
will now be ridiculously
smitten and happy Me after
after sharing a night episode 7:
of passionate love
making:
Loved how Stede had been professing his love in all kinds of ways this season but Ed was the one who takes the cheeky loved up glance over during the wedding vows 🥹
Stede looks genuinely quite scared with his hand firmly latching onto Ed's chest, meanwhile Ed instantly goes into full on protection mode– love their instinct to cling to each other 🥺

I know it's a camp scene but the music, their facial expressions and Stede saying "I’ll never leave again, I’m here, you’re safe" has me continuously SOBBING
Huge endless massive credit for all those beautiful photos goes to LK Creative!! Here's the link to the website if you wanted to have a browse yourself <3
Yes this was hot but also can we talk about Stede's face here? He knows what he's doing is exactly what they agreed they *wouldn't* do but he just so desperately needs Ed in this moment it breaks my heart
#ofmds2spoilers
Rhys saying it's easy for him and Taika to play onscreen lovers bc they're "obviously really good friends, so it's not a task and a half to grab each other and give each other a hug and stuff" 🥰
This moment was hot even if Stede did end up shooting the rope and collapsing the sail onto his crew he'll always be a disaster cringefail guy and that's the vital ingredient to his hotness
This kiss is playing on a loop inside my brain the way Stede melts completely into Ed and their hands go down their bodies before gripping collars and hair pls send help 🫠
#ofmds2spoilers
Oh to be Ed smiling and humming in agreement that yes he did indeed make his boyfriend blush that morning just by making him breakfast in bed with a special bit of twine (and definitely no other reason)
#ofmds2spoilers
Absolutely not ready for whenever Rhys posts about the cancellation this was his dream role and he was the perfect leading man and they've taken that away from him
#ofmds2spoilers
"Well you know this can be whatever we want it to be"
Stede loves everything about him. He doesn't need Ed to say it back, he just wants to be near him, breathing the same air. But he can't even have that :(
"Did you know that was his real hair? That’s not a wig" ~ Leslie Jones, speaking the truth that Rhys Darby's hair is too gorgeous to be believably real
If you look closely you can see the shadow of Ed lying himself down on the bed ready for Stede to climb on top of him and it's changed my brain chemistry
I just... this is Rhys? Rhys Darby?? The funny guy who does the silly robot impressions? In a low cut shirt, leather pants, legs crossed and forearms out? 🧎♀️
The fact that David used this specific image - aka one of the most incredible romantic reunions ever broadcast on television - to announce the cancellation is still killing me
#SaveOFMD
Love how Ed admitted Stede saved his life as a mermaid and later Stede tells him about throwing love letters out to sea like they know it sounds silly but both say it anyway so the other knows how much they mean to them
#ofmds2spoilers
Idk if the curse was real or not but Stede was 100% possessed by some kind of bitchy jacket demon bc the man went absolutely FERAL this episode
#ofmds2spoilers
Thank god David ended the show with Ed and Stede at the inn, hopeful and ready to begin their new life together - whatever that might end up looking like - and not on a cliffhanger or separated, so we can just continue to imagine their love blossoming amongst the chaos
Stede in S2E5 is the most flouncy, overdramatic, over the top camp looney tunes character even without the snazzy cursed suit and I loved every camp second of it 💅🏻
