minor thing but another point against the "ed is just a naturally violent and temperamental guy whose moods switch on a dime" interpretation is that ed always warns people when they push him too far. he's honestly trying to set up a boundary. they just never listen.

It's every single time. It's not subtle.

The racist boat captain, too, he asks "what's that supposed to mean" and waits for the asshole to double down before he starts yelling. He doesn't shoot Izzy until Izzy blames everything, once again, on Ed's feelings. He gives people every chance.

This guy is not unpredictable. You'd only think that if you think you're justified in the abuse you're hurling at him and make him out to be the aggressor for biting back.

BEST OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH CHARACTER POLL 🏴‍☠️🗳🏆

The rules are:

ed and stede would be insufferable at other people's weddings

OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH

how my cat stands in front of the two bugs she killed while i was asleep

if edward became a fisherman he'd be bored of it in like a week and then he'd attempt to be a carpenter or some other random shit

remember that one episode in modern family where the kids bought a key locker for their parents cause they once walked in on them having sex but it backfired cause the lock was really LOUD and every time they locked it the kids could hear them? that's gonna be the crew with ed's bell

lucius really said "if your parents divorce traumatized you just traumatize them back" and i think that's beautiful
