Critical part of the Ed/Stede sauce is that they really really Like each other. Besties at first sight. And the thing about being friends is you can grow alongside each other, people do it all the time
happy father's day to 25 year old ed who is. well.
I’ve been off Bluesky for so long I’m kind of embarrassed, so I’m going to throw something I did for my art class in your direction as an apology and run away to work on my RBB pieces. The assignment was to explore narrative by drawing a TV scene as a graphic novel… #OFMDfanart
I forever adore that they did the “magic is REAL and people can turn into birds” ep right before the “curses are FAKE but sometimes it’s better to believe in them anyways” ep. the literal magic isn’t the point but adjusting your beliefs and changing for yourself + the people you love IS!!!
and also i genuinely think being an absent father is the best thing stede could do for his kids in his situation
i love making bad/absent dad stede jokes bc it’s funny to me but also bc i think it’s so juicy when a character is like a good/well-meaning person but a bad parent. when character traits that are like minor flaws in other relationships become traumatizing for the children ur responsible for
