Hey I'm Elea! I'm in my late 20s and live in DC. I'm in a bunch of fandoms, which you could probably tell from my blog. Feel free to message me about anything!

“now you say, we’re having a talent show” “that doesn’t sound like me, why would i say that”
ed doesn’t remember the talent show. i’d be willing to bet that he doesn’t remember very much about that night. he seems to remember some things - he seems to remember pushing lucius off the ship, and taking izzy’s toes, and so on, but he doesn’t remember what was going on around him. becoming the kraken was so traumatic huge pieces of that night are just. gone.
with fang, he clearly remembers chasing him with a knife. doesn’t remember fang correctly - he’s got it rewritten in his head as a game, as fang laughing, and when fang corrects him (the absolute bravery of fang in this moment by the way, the confidence that ed is getting better, holy shit) ed’s like. woah that’s fucked up, i’m sorry. and that sorry i think is huge because it is genuine and immediate and we’re meant to understand it as genuine and fang accepts it. and ed clearly doesn’t remember being beaten by fang, either, but fang tells him, and
this is in keeping with ed’s history though, right! the kraken killed his dad. he knows it wasn’t the kraken, but his memory is all tied up in the trauma until being safe with stede gives him room to sort through it and say it out loud: the kraken didn’t kill my dad, i did.
i don’t know how much more of this we’ll see from ed, but i think we can safely assume that part of working through ed’s trauma is going to involve a lot of sorting out what’s real and what’s not. the gravy basket, as buttons said, still has a bit of a hold on him. i think ed had one foot in the gravy basket looooong before the night in the storm.
hey, i noticed that your fantasy setting has bandits. idk that’s kind of problematic :/ they literally kill people and steal stuff? like????? fantasy is meant to be an escape from real life, i just don’t get why you had to do this :////
Um your Sci fi story has bad people I noticed, that’s kinda problematic :/ I mean it’s the future so why are there still bad people and why is there still conflict???? Why did you do this :////
