We do not mention enough the fact that Stede's dad is also seen wearing a black cravat, in the same episode Ed acquires Stede's one. It's daddy issues all the way down for these lads.

Not able to go, but I would love to get some of the lovely merch being sold at #TheWeeCon2. Is there anyone attending who lives in France, or who will go through Paris on their way back, who would be willing to pick my things and send/give them to me? #TheWeeCon

First panel of a grayscale comic. Ed and Stede are front and center at a Halloween Party, a large crowd of vaguely costume figures fill the panel behind them. Stede is wearing a tight fitting sweater vest over a patterned button up shirt with khaki trousers. Perched on his face is a pair of horn rim glasses and a mildly bitchy expression aimed to the right at Ed.

Ed is outfitted in a curious mishmash of a costume. Resting on his head like space helmet is a large Venus fly trap-like mask with the mouth agape revealing large rows of teeth and Ed’s sheepish smile. The rest of Ed’s costume is as follows: a mesh crop top with two leaves artfully pinned over his nipples, fishnet stockings, opera gloves where the hands are actually two smaller Venus fly trap puppet heads, and a large cylindrical can of “Maxwell House Coffee” in place of a skirt stuffed with giant leaves and twisty vines that dangle.

The dialogue bubble in the image read:

Stede: Ed, when you said that you wanted to dress up for this party as “Seymour and Audrey from Little Shop of Horrors”…

Ed: Heh. Did I forget to mention the “II”?

Taika and Rhys look at each other during their 2022 Vanity Fair lie detector interview. Ed and Stede look at each other in episode 204 of hit TV show Our Flag Means Death.

Art of Ed and Stede from our flag means death. Ed is wearing his leather outfit and laughing, as Stede, wearing his teal suit, wraps his arms around him and kisses his cheek.

Ed from season 1 episode 7 where he's standing with his arms wide open and is looking hysterical after he killed a snake, there's a screenshot of a post from Twitter that says "too much sugar what's next? too much desire? too much love?" the word sugar is photoshopped instead of a word garlic

Preview image and tight crop of the artist's contribution to the 2027 Gentlebeard calendar. The crop shows Ed and Stede's eyes. Ed's are squeezed shut by his smile. And Stede's are wide open and looking in Ed's direction. There's also leaves and flower petals.

A digital drawing of Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach from Our Flag Means Death. They’re posing beside large versions of the cake toppers Ed was obsessed with in s2e1 while he was missing Stede. The drawing is done in the style of a recent photo of Taika and Rhys at the Academy Museum where they were standing beside large Oscar Awards. Ed is gazing up at the figure in a pink suit, while Stede is pursing his lips and holding his glasses beside the figure wearing a blue dress. The stand for both figures says “Academy for Wayward Seaman” instead of “Academy Museum of Motion Pictures”

It is homophobic that I’m eating in a hospital cafeteria with uninspired soup options on this holiest of weeks (family visitor, not patient), but have one of my favorite old Olu sketches and be tender with each other!
Digital illustration of Olu lit from his right, teal earring visible, looking off to his right and his right hand resting on his left shoulder.

Hey pals, want a sneaky peek at the upcoming @ofmdbigbang.bsky.social fic that me and @addieh.bsky.social have written and the incredible @lostinthebabylon.bsky.social is creating art for? You got it! #ofmdbb2026
Ed's not even sure that he'll be able to sleep knowing Stede's right there, but he closes his eyes and listens to the sounds of the waves lapping
against the hull. Against all odds he's just starting to drift when Stede whispers into the darkness.
"Ed?"
"Yeah, mate," Ed mumbles back.
"The whole time?"
It takes Ed a minute to grasp what he's asking.
For his mind to trip back through the evening to their earlier conversation.
I can't believe you were reading these and you still didn't realise / was flirting with you the whole time.
"Yep," Ed sighs. "Thought I was being pretty
fucking obvious actually. Kinda insulting."
"God," Stede sighs too. "I'm such an idiot."Ed doesn't say anything because, yeah.
"I'm so sorry, Ed," Stede murmurs into the darkness. "I wish I'd known. I wish I'd been paying more attention. I feel like I've missed so much."
Ed hates it. Hates how sad Stede sounds, like he's missed his chance. Because he hasn't. That's why Ed is still here, isn't it? Yes, he's hurt and his anger hasn't fully gone away, but he stil... It's not like Ed wants Stede to leave again. And Ed certainly doesn't want to leave, even if the crew all hate him. He wants this. More than he's ever wanted anything, probably.
"Well," Ed starts. He takes a deep breath.
"Maybe you'll notice next time."
Stede's quiet for a moment before he murmurs
"Next time?"
"Yeah. Maybe."
Ed can practically hear Stede's smile. Feels like
the dark in the cabin gets significantly lighter because of it.
"I hope so,
" Stede breathes.
