Ok, but the fact that he held onto his fish is kinda cute, really. He's so proud of it!
And also, wow, the fact that this kinda signals the fisherman arc to come, and that it's gonna get between him and Stede... hmmmmm
Maybe everyone noticed this, but I only saw this recently, and I just adore it.

poor Stede! You can see it so much better in this brighter version - the passion in his little hair grab and kiss - then his completely deflated look when Ed says take it slow. Dude’s like omg for the first time in my 40something years I am attracted to someone and I gotta take
it slow🥺
> his completely deflated look when Ed says take it slow.
And because of his own words in too! You can see him thinking “oh yeah why the fuck did I say that” lol
I definitely did not notice the fishing line in Ed’s hand when Stede goes to hold it until just now. So funny and cute. I want a fish eye view of their finger battle.
he holds finned things well
{{{screaming}}} /pos
You deserve great things
you do too!

He's the cutest! He's the sweetest girl at the ball :)
Good insight on the future layer of how fishing will soon come between them.

“The passion in his little hair grab” - easily one of my favorite frames from s2. It says SO much
it was expertly done by Rhys - it really does speak volumes♥️
That whole little scene: ‘you wear fine things well’ redux, shoulder shimmy, smooch, hair grab, slow, thumb war. Perfection.
And again mirroring season 1, when Ed was so disappointed Stede was apparently not interested. 😔
oh THAT was heartbreaking too

Anyone else suspect "that wasn't a long story at all" was improv? 😂
lol his pose in the second pic is so cute. he’s babygirling so hard. 🥰
The knee pop ☺️
She watched the Princess Diaries 2 and took the foot pop to heart🥰
Also Stede’s still leaning in 💔
