yeah no i don’t think i’ll ever get over how ed’s red silk = ed’s heart. how stede very carefully pried it from ed’s hands and placed it where everyone could see, on the outside. how stede told him he wore his heart well, his softness well. god no i won’t ever get over it
area man too worried about acting normal to feel anything else while his friend unexpectedly removes their shirt
The literal kicker at the end is when Blackbeard moves his leather-booted foot to touch Stede’s. Waititi came up with the now-beloved moment, Jenkins says. “I knew I wanted that song, I knew which beats I wanted where. But that little improvised foot touch is like a release valve or something that helps that already fantastic sequence work. It punctuates it in such a good way. It’s so sweet.” | Los Angeles Times
obviously Ed was obsessed with Stede from day dot but i really think he didn't realised he liked Stede specifically until the fancy boat party
like up until that point he really thought he was just enamoured with fancy rich person-ness and then he met all those other fancy rich people and was like "hang on i hate all of these people" which means his feelings for Stede aren't because he's a fancy rich person it's because he's Stede
i think he's realising that in the moonlight scene and i think that's when the plan to kill Stede and take his identity goes out the window, because he's just realised that what's making him happy isn't Stede's (thievable) class identity it's (irreplaceably) Stede himself

Summary:
“Hey. Hey, in there. You’re all locked up in your head.”
Ed’s voice is soft, and Stede closes his eyes and leans his head back against the pillow and tries very hard to catch his breath.
“Um. Sorry. This isn’t typical for me.”
It’s tricky to get the words out, which certainly isn’t him. He’s short of breath, weirdly and wildly nervous. But he’s got to calm down because he really does want to be here doing this, he really, really does, and Ed’s hand feels very nice under Stede’s shirt, tracing back and forth along his midriff, and every time it glides over his navel he wants to bite the air, so he needs to not screw this up.
Calm. Calm, calm, calm. Cool blue ocean. But it’s a bit tricky, given that this is certainly not how this whole thing has ever felt before. How… sex has ever felt before.
Beauty requires sacrifice
