You referring to Ed’s flag as his MySpace header makes me think a shitty early 2000s smau concept is tragically under explored, if only for a scene in which Lucius (or Jim) have to explain to middle aged Stede how to make an account so he can try to explain himself to Ed
Ed is one of the og myspace influencers and he has bangs like this
And he makes electronic music that sounds like puke my gutzz O_o by zeija and the kids on there eat that shit up. Alma (13) is going through a phase and drags Stede to some sort of function because she needs parental supervision and Mary won't take her. He meets Ed and when he comes home he immediately calls his secretary Lucius to ask how myspace works because he just met the hottest guy
Ed's name is xX_Bl4ckB34rd_Xx
Oh I've had more thoughts about this AU. Ed and Izzy were washed up punk rockers for years before this. Izzy thinks the scene kids are posers and Ed has fully fucking integrated and is like their god. Izzy is mortified by this turn of events. Ed is so much happier now that he's posting cringe on myspace. He's in a thirst trap cold war with someone. He gets a rawr means I love you in dinosaur tattoo.
Stede is just kind of a normal guy. He's still fucking weird of course he's Stede but he has managed to not run away to become a pirate and then he starts dating Ed and suddenly he's got teal hair and a nose ring and is being trotted out by Ed for the cameras as the emo power couple and Alma is fucking incensed because her fucking cringe ass father stole her teenaged rebellion
I am posting more cringe on this blessed day. Here are some men who are too old to be on myspace (affectionate)
