where did this energy go in season2! he is a bitch, a master of passive agression and an adorable dork. The writers butchered Stede in s2.. I'm forever pissed
The way he says “yes” after the crew backs him up with the “talk it through as a crew” bit near the end always makes me tear up. You can tell he’s surprised. And moved. It’s so sweet. All the work they’ve put in and it made a real difference
He's completely imperfect but still gives it his all, he's never lost himself and that is more than most people have. Stede stays true to himself to his detriment or for the better and that's what makes him so fascinating- I don't think people talk enough about how tough and brave he is, he's been bullied all his life and thinks he's unlovable (which is also Ed's problem too) but emotionally he has the skin of a rhino and isn't afraid of being vulnerable or sensitive. In short, I love this dandy. 🖤
@BloodInTheStrawberries it was all that passive aggression training he received in "civil society". Guy can take you out at the knee with just a few words.
Stede being a bitch is so important to his character. He's genuinely not the best person (I don't blame Mary) but he can still make other people's lives better
Stede asking if the kids painted the lighthouse and then Mary saying "i painted it" and Stede almost immediately saying "ooh you can tell" is the BITCHIEST comment i have ever heard him say. my jaw literally dropped when i watched that scene that man does not hold back
Btwn this scene and the "What, are they C H R I S T' S oranges?" scene, I will be a nightmare in the produce aisle forevermore. They don't go back in! The teeth don't go back in! 🍊🍊🍊
Stede Bonnet saying "Don't debase yourself for a man who doesn't have a single TUREEN on board." gives the same energy as Aziraphale saying "I have STANDARDS!"
@@so.many.questionsI dont remember where I read it, but there was a post that headcanoned crowley influencing stede into finally leaving his family and living his pirate dream and aziraphale talked to ed and suggested maybe he could do something more with his life than pirating and I love the idea of that
watching 0:07 and realizing maybe I'M a bitch bc that's EXACTLY how I react when my elementary students show me their art and I don't understand what the hell it is they're showing me 😭😭😭
