notquiteaghost: #read a reddit thread recently about how this scene is crucial to understanding both of their motivations #because ed’s had a lifetime of adventure and finds the idea of a quiet domestic life an exciting change of pace #but stede only just escaped a quiet domestic life that made him miserable for years #and he looks at this sock-folding ed and thinks he’s ruined him by bringing him into the life stede ran away from #i don’t think it’s quite as simple as ‘stede doesn’t want domestic non-pirate ed' #bc it’s quite clear that stede loves ed for ed and not just the romanticized ideal of adventure he represents #but it does force him to confront some uncomfortable truths about what he wants and what impact he has on others (via @eugeniedanglars ) -- source link
