    Summary

    It’s an odd feeling. Ed doesn’t know his name. Doesn’t know his face. Doesn’t know him, and yet Ed knows him. There’s a tug of familiarity, a pull that leads him all the way to the table.

    “I’m Ed,” he says.

    The man at the table looks him over. “Izzy.”

    “Are you real?” Ed asks.

    “So I’ve been told.” Izzy doesn’t move to push a chair over for him, he just keeps watching him.

    ---------

    Ed wakes up in purgatory with no memories of who he is, in an inn he can never escape from.

    Set after 2x02 and diverts from there.

    Summary

    I read Stede being a bitch to Izzy as "he was suddenly realizing he's gay af and having to rapidly process that", and this is me talking about that.

    Summary

    I've talked before about how I see Ed as masking - both constantly throughout the series (chameleoning himself as a hardened pirate, a muppet softie, a posh party person (but with a racist slant, becoming grosser because of the expectations of those he's masking off of), a jack-ass character with Jack, and finally in 1x10, as Stede - but I talk here about hints of what I think are the real Ed below the masks.

    Summary

    We talk a lot over on my Tumblr about how someone's bodily reaction does not necessarily mirror their mind's desires and so on. Here, we discuss Izzy in relation to past sexual abuse, sub-space, BDSM, consent and also the headcanon/read of him being autistic that some of us have.

    Summary

    Brought on by criticism of Izzy 'bullying' Lucius in 1x05 (aka trying to get him to do his work as a crewmember) and other conversations about Izzy and Stede.

    Summary

    Exactly as the title says! Ed seems downright fond of Izzy, and Izzy talks to Ed who talks to Stede who doesn't talk back, and nor does Ed. Musings on the three of them learning to communicate, and thoughts on Spanish Jackie's polyamory, Lucius and Pete's relationship and so on.

    Summary

    An anon came by and told me that Izzy is an antagonist and shouldn't have more screen time in season 2. This was my response to a different anon referencing the first anon, discussing the difference between a villain and an antagonist.

    Summary

    Talking about how Stede must be thought of with only Izzy's scenes and point of view. Lacking the context of 1x01 - most of 1x03, and 1x07 and 1x08 and most of Stede's best moments changes how he is perceived.

    Summary

    A nonnie asked why fandom continually insists that Izzy is manipulative and why they act as though that is the only acceptable take. I broke it down in regards to purity culture and the current fandom discourse climate. We also discuss how they treat other fans, shaming fans of Izzy for made up things, ascribing modern terminology to word usage without considering the class and personal dynamics involved, accusing characters and people of using words they did not, and stripping characters and production crew of agency in the process, and a little bit of Calico Jack!
