I feel like Ed saying "I suppose I do work for Blackbeard" is him admitting that Blackbeard is, in fact, an image that he has to live up to and he does all that bad stuff to fit that image because that's all people value about him. Once you remove people's appreciation for that image and get someone like Stede Bonnet into the picture who shows him how easy it is to be yourself as opposed to living up to an idolised version of you, Ed finally starts embracing himself. God I love this show.
I love the connection between these two but when I heard Stede ask that, all my brain could think of is a video game shop owner NPC greeting the main character who has walked into a fabric/clothing shop 😅
ed touching stede’s stuff like he’s never been allowed to have soft, nice things. stede extending out those things to him is what made ed fall in love with him in the first place; stede gave him a place to be soft. i’m so glad they’re living together happily by the end of the first season :^)
@@bedtimerat I liked the end. It’s sad, but if it was a happy ending we might not need/get a season 2. This will be their reunion/reconciliation/redemption.
I love the fact that Gnossienne No. 5 is playing already in their first conversation (this is the theme that plays when they eat breakfast at the end of ep. 5, "you wear fine things well", the bathtub scene, and the kiss). This was being set up the whole time
THANK YOU for commenting the name of the piece that was playing during these scenes. I knew I recognized it but I couldn't remember for the life of me what it was called
omg i love how the season ended perfectly just like this scene and nothing bad ever happened! i sure love how ed and stede left together and lucius and the crew are just happily onboard as per usual!
I noticed that as well. I suspect that is part of the reason Izzy hates Stede so much. He was originally the only one to know blackbeard as more than blackbeard and Stede stole that from him
Izzy is in love with Blackbeard. He thought he (Izzy) was the most intimate favorite with this powerful, menacing idol. He felt privileged to call The Great Blackbeard by his personal name. Then he saw this fop using the private name EDWARD as if he had a right or could handle the hurricane, and Izzy kept calling him Blackbeard after that trying to reinforce that BLACKBEARD was aboard, not just this gentle-spoken funny doofus "Edward". He was trying to convince both Stede, and the crew, and even Edward himself of that. Izzy doesn't love Edward. Izzy loves Blackbeard. He loves the power associated with the menace, not the feelings associated with the man.
sorry 😣 Izzy does call him Edward when Blackbeard tells him to go invite Stede onto the ship. He says, "Oh, Edward, can't I just send the boys?" Izzy and Calico Jack get so mad about Stede calling him Edward or Ed because they don't feel like he should be allowed to use his more personal, intimate names, but Blackbeard introduced himself that way, that's the note they start on. ♥️ 😭 i love this show jfc
Frankly when Blackbeard shushes Stede I think that’s when Stede realizes how deep in shit he is if the coolest pirate in the world just shared an intimate moment with him. That REALLY sets the stage for Stede’s gradual affection to develop, whereas Blackbeard has been ruminating on Stede for a little longer and had just charmed The Fab Pants off of him.
@Tara Allen I think part of it is that Izzy lied and said that Stede didn’t want to meet him, when Stede didn’t know it was Blackbeard that wanted to meet with him. With his reputation among pirates, to be turned down like that was probably rare and made him even more interested in meeting Stede.
God yes thank you I love the part where Ed is handling the cashmere and it makes Stede SO HAPPY AND EXCITED that he gets to share one of his passions with another pirate, and I thought for sure that I would have to wait a while before this was clipped :)
And all I can hear is the very first playing of their love song in the background... starting with the moment Ed touches the cashmere to his face. It's been all throughout the series but I only really notice it after it's all ended...
i keep thinking about the reason why ed puts his hands over stede’s and i can’t, for the life of me, figure out a logical explanation other than the fact that ed had fancied him even right before they ever actually met. he’s heard of the gentleman pirate and was fascinated by him, and was even more enthralled when he saw him and the state of his ship and crew.
It's basically/visually Prince Charming awakening Sleeping Beauty, the hand touch substituting for a kiss. Like all the little backslaps, shoulder grabs, clinking glasses, swordplay tutorials, etc. in the next few episodes.
@Tara Allen I think at first his obsession with stede, trying to get him to talk to him and making izzy follow him around was because he was confused and fascinated by how Stede could be and was a "gentle pirate" and he was following him around to get insight on how someone could be a pirate and be gentle, considerate and caring with his crew and the life he leads. And then it just ended up falling deeply in love with him. It's so adorable
I really love how they wrote Blackbeard already feeling over the harsher aspects of pirates life, and acting as if he had already transitioned to this point where he's ready to enter a more lighthearted and whimsical period in his life. I can't help thinking about his journey just to this point.
If they get to do all three seasons they're currently hoping for, I think it would make perfect sense for Ed and Izzy to work through this as the attempted re-launch of Blackbeard spectacularly implodes. Some Izzy flashbacks would be great, they could show him realizing in hindsight the times Blackbeard lost his taste for a life of crime. I've been thinking about this a lot, too 👀
The way Ed looks in the mirror making a scary face probbly wondering how could Stede not see him as the legendary monster everyone knows him as. Only then to drop it like *hm I guess I'm not that scary after all, good*
That "Shh" from Blackbeard made my heart melt instantly and the moment I know this series will be my fave forever. Taika is so hot and precious, I am falling inlove with him billion times more
Yknow when Edward introduced himself as Ed-Not-Blackbeard I figured they'd keep Stede clueless for the rest of the episode but the casual, abrupt reveal and his reaction made up for any comedic delay.
"Do you work for Blackbeard?" "...Never thought about it that way... Yeah. I guess I do work for Blackbeard." Genius double meaning there: Ed is trapped within the confines of his ruthless dread pirate Blackbeard persona, to the point where he feels like he has to maintain this image, can't really let himself relax and just be plain old Edward Teach. So he does, in essence, work for Blackbeard. Everyone works for Blackbeard, but no one works for Ed.
I finally watched all the season 1 epeisodes so I could watch season 2 when it premieres - and I LOOOOOVE this show!!!! These two own my whole heart right now
All I’ve seen of this show content/plot is these two and so I saw that they only meet in episode 4 my first response was “wait the whole show isn’t about these two idiots?”
the story’s core is about their relationship BUT it’s also an ensemble comedy !! the creator wanted the first 3 eps to show the rest of the crew and also serve as an act 1 of sorts
to be fair stede abandoning ed was a huge blow but he was dealing with the rejection and taking steps towards healing. izzy's the one who decided to send him into a toxic spiral and make him go hard on the blackbeard/kraken persona with his 'i serve blackbeard, edward better watch his fucking back' threat.
I started this show with no idea of what it was about, but I’m familiar with Blackbeard, so when he said he was Ed I immediately thought EDWARD FUCKIN TEACH HES BLACKBEARD!!!!! I love this show and I’m sad that it ended.

This is unhinged. Imagine this being your first conversation with a guy. I'd marry him too.
Same.
esp since the last fricken thing he apparently said was "suck an egg in hell"
I don't know whether the "him" is Blackbeard or Stede but mood
@@briannawarren4174 The answer to that is "Yes."
@@briannawarren4174 Ideally both.
Does he... you know, 💅fancy a fine fabric?🌈
Why don’t you wear fine things well and maybe you’ll calm down
I think maybe he does...yeah
Wake up babe, new euphemism just dropped.

Ed’s look after he says “I’m Blackbeard” and turns around is just fantastic.
That shit eating grin, he knew EXACTLY what he was doing
The way his eye crinkle up a little with his smile. That look is my favourite moment in the entire series lol
The look in Blackbeard’s eyes is just so expressive
I love how everyone is commenting about the happy S1 finale like the people of Ba Sing Se from avatar talk about its war status
what war 🤨
There is no war in Ba Sing Se
🤨but there's no war???
I’m Joo Dee. We are safe in Ba Sing Se
but there is no war???
Ed and Stede’s interactions make me so happy. The season ends happily. Nothing bad happens. Understand?
Episode 10 would like to have a word with you 😅
What a great 8 episode season, am I right? To end it on Ed returning and knocking boots with Stede was inspired!

THE FACT THAT HE INTRODUCES HIMSELF AS ED- I CANTTT-
THE FACT THAT ED GRABS STEDES HAND BEFORE THEY EVEN HAVE A PROPER CONVERSATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE GIVAWAY
Was about to say! I can't believe any of us were surprised by how things turned out, myself included
side note: i love how stede immediately worries about his crew. so sweet.
When Stede shows Ed the secret passage the "Fuck off..." gets me every time XD instant best friends ha

@@angelsalts PLEASE these comments are killing me lmfaoo
That look he gives him when he says "no I'm black beard" is so hilarious to me. I dont know why.
Taika's got a great "cheeky squint"
One of my favorite lines in the season. He's so nonchalant.
Thinking about how ed thinks of himself as a monster and within 5 seconds stede calls him a good man
everyone talks about the Taika Heart Eyes TM, but how about the way he literally spelled out 'hehe' with his eyes at the end there
I just noticed that Izzy called Ed by his name up until the point Stede started it, after that it was all “Blackbeard” from him. Interesting 🤔

The shush literally felt sweetly sensual without the finger. And i never expected it to work so well. Taika started something. It can’t be undone.
The "fucking mental" gets me every time!
I'm so happy the season ended with Ed and Stede living happily ever after in China, and there's no war in Ba Sing Se :)
God yes thank you I love the part where Ed is handling the cashmere and it makes Stede SO HAPPY AND EXCITED that he gets to share one of his passions with another pirate, and I thought for sure that I would have to wait a while before this was clipped :)
I also noticed that Stede never shames him for not knowing or gets disgusted at Ed touching his things:))

Gnossiennes 5 modéré
YOURE RIGHT…. im broken again
omg that's awesome, I have to watch the whole show again now and pay attention to the music
Ed's tiny little delighted "Okay" at 2:08 is soooooo cute!
The line delivery on Ed's "ok" at around 2:03 when Stede's explaining the wardrobe is making me insane
okay 😧😀🥵😰

@@yourpalfred I love the way your mind works
Ed talking about Blackbeard sounds like a mix of a midlife and identity crisis 😅
This is the cutest meet-cute!
i love ed's "shh.." when stede is just like 😲😲😲
"Do you work for Black Beard?" he asked inquisitively to the man with the black beard.
Gray beard, or salt and pepper beard
I truly believe Lucius is living in the secret passages at the end of the season. Stede definitely told him about them
Okay but THE HAND TOUCH AT THE START 🥺😭
The way Ed looks in the mirror making a scary face probbly wondering how could Stede not see him as the legendary monster everyone knows him as. Only then to drop it like *hm I guess I'm not that scary after all, good*
"Fancy yourself a fine fabric?"
"I do"
*me recalling on one occasion or another them both referring to each other as 'fine'*
I love when Taika makes the 😳 and the 😏 faces
Ed so obviously was fond of him from the start ❤️
Oh he fancies a fine fabric alright.
That "Shh" from Blackbeard made my heart melt instantly and the moment I know this series will be my fave forever. Taika is so hot and precious, I am falling inlove with him billion times more
With the wild hair, so much of his performance is in his expressive eyes! It's delightful
Episode 4 is a favourite of mine, especially this scene. It’s just so perfect ❤️❤️❤️
What really gets me is the second Stede is awake, his immediate concern is his crew.
Yknow when Edward introduced himself as Ed-Not-Blackbeard I figured they'd keep Stede clueless for the rest of the episode but the casual, abrupt reveal and his reaction made up for any comedic delay.
So glad these two are happy in China now 🥰🥰🥰
Im totally normal about these two men. No obsession here
Ed is so gentle and soft
Ed's face after admitting he's Blackbeard is BURNED into my brain in the best way
CAAAAAAAAAAAN YOU FEEEEEEEEEEEEL THE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE TONIIIIIIIGHT🎶

This scene is a great meet-cute and all but I was screaming at Stede to sit down the entire time YOU WERE JUST STABBED AND HUNG SIR! LAY DOWN!
They are the most precious thing in my life
Is that Blackbeard?
Hmm? No, I'm Blackbeard.
*Shh.*
that cheeky lil shush
I think it says a lot that stede's first thought is for his crew.
Stede: this is my backup wardrobe
Ed: Okay?????????????
Im so glad every interaction in this show was perfect and happy just like thisnand that everyone lived happily ever after
This was probably the first time Ed ever heard someone call him a good person.
i love love love these scenes! thanks for uploading them
I think I have this whole scene almost memorized 😭
"is that Blackbeard." "No I'm black beard." And the looks they give each other especially Ed's look ..I knew I was done for with these two!
Man, that "shh" makes my brain go offline every time.

Do you reckon you could upload the scene where Ed makes Stede stab him and then Izzy freaks out while they try to get the sword out?

this scene is what helped me with some worldbuilding in my series idea
The part where Stede is showing Ed his auxiliary wardrobe reminds me of the scene in beauty and the beast when the beast shows Bell the library.
where do guys think ed slept when they were co-csptaining?
Man it really sucks Stede tried to return to his old life which sent Edward spiraling back into his toxic habits.

I wish I had HBO Max
Gotta love how with the announcement of S2 these videos are seeing a resurgence in comments/views
Lmao look at the “most replayed” bar
I've had secret passages installed...you know just for fun 😊🇺🇲😏

All of this is beautiful, but how did Stede get his shirt and robe on so fast?
There’s fanart of Ed helping Stede dress.
