True Romance

The parallel of Ed saying he could fake his death. And also that scene where he said he’d thought he’d have a cooler death than this. “Like being eaten by a tiger…”

And Stede faking his death with a jungle cat.

It’s not the kraken and the lighthouse. It’s the ship and the lighthouse !!!!!!!

Stede and Mary got married in front of the lighthouse, and they were told to be lighthouses to each other. Mary gave Stede and lighthouse painting for their anniversary. Stede gave Mary a ship for their anniversary. These little gifts represent who they are to each other. Stede is the lighthouse. Mary was supposed to be the ship, but she didn’t like it. She didn’t want it.

Stede goes off to sea, and he takes the lighthouse painting, and the model of the ship, and the ship itself. Along the way, he meets Ed.

Ed is fascinated by the model ship and the big ship. Instead of thinking it’s ridiculous like Mary and everyone did, he thinks it’s incredible.

When they realize the Spanish are into them, and they need a plan, they say, “We need to be lighthouses.” This goes back to choosing Ed over Mary. Except Ed isn’t the lighthouse. Stede is the light of the lighthouse which the Spanish avoided. Stede is still the lighthouse. You can’t have two lighthouses.

Everything happens, they get caught, Stede goes back to Mary, etc. Mary is living fine without Stede. As Ed said, you’re supposed to avoid lighthouses so you don’t crack up on the rocks. That’s what Mary did. She avoided Stede She wasn’t the ship that goes with Stede’s lighthouse. Ed is.

At the end we see Ed, a mess, looking at the lighthouse painting while on the ship. He went back to the ship. He chose the ship. He’s the ship. And he’s a mess because he didn’t avoid the lighthouse. He cracked up on the rocks.

By the time Ed realized he was the ship, he had already crashed.

Hope my rambling makes sense.

I would just like to say this look from Ed absolutely destroys me cos he's just trying to cheer Stede up and gives him these beautiful big puppy dog eyes like "Here look I love you I'm doing this for you" and it MELTS ME LOOK AT IIITTTTTT 😭

this is the one day a year that i am absolutely insufferable for 24 hours

the fact that marc bought steven another fish when gus died is amazing by itself. but

“like i told you yesterday, all the fish have two fins”

marc was looking specifically for a fish with one only fin. he cares about steven even if doesn’t show it
