i have a feeling rhys darby would be the last one to disagree with this headcanon. he puts so much of his own eccentric attitude into the role that stede just feels like a genuine funky little human. love it.
My bf always laughs when I say the full latin name of any plant i encounter and i never understood why… now I see Stede do the same thing with that insect.. i get it now.
I missed the caption that you’d moved on to clumsiness and I was just fully accepting that you were showing examples of being a pirate as one of his special interests😂
@@marianeoliveira9015 basically what they mean is just the pacing around while he talks. In this case, it's done to regulate/stimulate/release energy (I didn't know exactly how to describe it bc English is not my first language, I hope that made sense)
I know Rhys Darby has mentioned before that he thinks he is on the spectrum but is uninterested in diagnosis. He's also said that Stede feels like he was written for him so I'd say Stede is very clearly coded to be autistic.
They went even further with the autistic-coding of Stede (and ADHD with Ed). Can't be coincidental. The only reason it's not explicit is probably that you wouldn't get a diagnose in the 18th century. I'd still love to hear the writers talk about that.
Little reminder of an actual neurodivergent: clumsyness has nothing to do with that. As the greek part "neuro" suggests, it only concerns the mind, not the body.
Clumsiness is actually a symptom of autism, I was asked about it a lot during my assessment. If we're talking general neurodivergency, dyspraxia is very much a co-ordination disorder, and many other neurolofical disorders also affect co-ordination. The word "neuro" actually refers to nerves, not the mind, and nerves and the brain are responsible for many things, including co-ordination.

"Great, you found a plant. Cheers."
I just love how in a show about gay pirates, there’s the line:”Keep it straight, if you can!”
I love that just the entire closet scene is in here lol
I couldn't in good conscience cut anything lol
Stede is just so cute and honestly so on the spectrum I see myself in him a lot, which is lovely
He is isn't he :) Yeah I see myself in him too, that's why I made the video.
also his heightened sense of justice and can be understimulated
i relate to this silly little man on a deep emotional level
as an autistic stede kin... thank u for this
you're welcome, glad it resonated

Im just like him fr
same lol
Looove this! Especially the dyspraxia mention!
He just like me fr !!
What is "passing (TM)"?
"The Pacing (tm)" is a kind of stimming
@@klljoy8005 Ah, understood. Thank you for answer me 😊❤️
@@klljoy8005 Can you tell me what this literally is? Like whether it's physical, or vocal, or what the exact "movement" is 😅

@@jaebleach8080 also not mine lol
Has this been confirmed by the people of the show?
Seems so random to me:D
No, it hasn't been confirmed by the people of the show, it's just a popular headcanon (that I agree with)

@@lini0024 Oh, thanks for the answer:)

*neurological
mind and body are connected so
yeah this is objectively wrong. poor coordination is often a part of neurodivergence.
