The temptation was always there of course because I don't read him as bi at all (though that's open to interpretation)

and poor Mary their love life was... not...great

SELF why do you want to write that fic no one wants to read it
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
and not even explicitly just...exploring the concept
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
I wonder how old he was when he got married B|a
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
like I know he looks not much younger in the show but that's the conciet of the show
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
I'd say in show he got married maybe in his early 30s
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
because he kept meaning to find a wife of his own but you know...never got around to it
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
and his father had to make the decision for him because there is only so long you can shirk the family duty
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
I think at some point when he was a younger man-- maybe late teens/early twenties his father had hired a prostitute in desperation
Pen Again
Yeah I donโ€™t think heโ€™s slept with a man before
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
and like he didn't sleep with the prostitute but there was a lot of like very awkward fumbling and he felt bad afterward
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
And I can see him maybe thinking about or actually hiring a prostitute for himself that he'd be more interested in and then chickening out at the last moment
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
I think it's feasible that Stede would think he's not much good at it
Pen Again
no I agree

Ed on the other hand was, esp in his younger days, a bit of a slut >.>

either Blackbeard will destroy your ass and you'll thank him for the privelege
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
or he is completely non-sexual and is above such things
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
but he's no longer that way really because it's boring and people are boring
๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”Ÿ๐”ฌ๐”ด ๐”ญ๐”ฆ๐”ฏ๐”ž๐” ๐‘ฆ~
and Izzy is too above such things to want it to happen again
Pen Again
lol

tho I think when it comes down to it Ed also isn't sure how good he is
Pen Again
Stede's a madman. he somehow just...makes things work whether he knows or not
