aka Holy Shit Everyone In This Fandom Is The Smartest Person On Earth
aka a collection of my favourite meta, feel free to add your own faves!
(note that most of these don't actually have titles, I just tried my best to sum up the contents)
✬ On masculinity in ofmd by @edwardsilkheart
✬ The different genres various characters are in, and how they clash and synthesize by @fuckyeahisawthat (THIS is required reading and the reason this show works so well, all these different & contrasting flavours combined into something truly delicious. If you read nothing else on this list, read this)
✬ yk that Stede didn't actually have an evil plan to leave Ed all along right by @polyamoryprincess (on what really happened in Stede's head that night)
✬ these two posts by @mikimeiko about Ed and the mortifying ordeal of being known
✬ How does Ed like his eggs? by @forpiratereasons (on mirroring, learning how to be yourself and self-acceptance as the path to true love)
✬ Listen, I know everyone and their mother disliked Ed without the beard but I actually loved it. by @ruletogether
✬ Izzy Hands and the tenderness of violence, directed at him but not perpetuated by him by @ellicler with additional tags from @knowlesian
✬ Another one about Izzy, internalized homophobia, and subtextual queerness by @knowlesian
✬ The thing that ACTUALLY made Stede run away by @quillyfied
✬ Ed and the language of face-touching by @amuseoffyre
✬ anachronistinc costume design as a sotrytelling device by @ambassadorquark
✬ The Bathtub Scene (analyzing Ed's body language) by @orangechickenpillow plus this follow-up. I also recommend their post on clothes sharing
