I am forever going to have 'La Vie En Rose' stuck in my head! This would have been out earlier but I had issues with rendering (it didn't like my 'if you enjoyed the reaction part' before getting into the reaction) and then there were a few copyright issues with Con's incredible singing. I hope you all enjoy the reaction!
The kids are Taika's kids. Also Taika said in some interview that when he was a kid his family was very poor, so to me that scene with the kids, the money and the knife's hits especially hard.
I'm glad they allowed Izzy's makeup to be a bit off and not like. Super aesthetically pleasing? Because it's his first time trying it! He's expressing himself! It's allowed to be a little shitty!
LA VIE EN ROSE 🌹 Literal same reaction, flustered, happy, squealing, crying, I don’t think there’s enough words for how beautiful this episode and Con is. I absolutely adore the use of colour in this show, we see Izzy finally letting a bit of colour into his life (the make up, the rose) and wearing it like a badge of honour! He’s proud to be their unicorn. I’m so glad this show gives you so much joy and comfort, and helps distract you from your health issues and pain. There’s something so special about an art form that is able to make you forget even for a few minutes that a world exists outside these beautiful characters.
I truly can not explain how this show makes me feel. It's just.... I have no words. I literally get teary just thinking about Izzy singing and what the whole thing means for him. It's absolutely beautiful.
@@Shelma32Reactions same here, it’s indescribable. I’ve been trying so hard to describe the feeling but there truly are no words for the love emanating from this show. I wish I could hug everyone involved in making this beautiful project come to life and thank them from the bottom of my heart for giving me life, giving me excitement, giving me a place to go when I feel down. A safe space ship!
I am also terrified we're gonna lose Izzy! He's had this beautiful redemption and character arc this season and it makes me so nervous that theyre trying to make it hurt worse. And because of the dedication to parallels, Izzy conspired with enemies to separate Ed and Stede, so what if he ends up sacrificing himself for them?? I didn’t like Izzy in Season 1 but ill be _devastated_ if he doesn't make it to Season 3!
I have so many thoughts about how we might lose Izzy and I'm so worried about it. It just seems like he's had such a beautiful journey this season that something is going to happen.
Fun fact: The "gutter rats" were apparently played by Taika's kids 😊 Even if I'd known Izzy would sing this season I never would have guessed it would be that song of everything, it makes me really curious what his other song was 😅 Calypso was a nymph in Greek mythology, btw, iirc she fell in love with Odysseus when he landed on her island while he was trying to make his way home from the Trojan war. I'm happy there's already reactions out, I need to watch them and freak out over the eps again 😅 And there's spoilers on Tumblr, so it's best to avoid it for now 😅😅😅 That last scene with Ed and Stede, I'm weak for it. Also, everyone was writing fics about how well they'd do at taking it slow and everyone was right 😅 💜🏳️🌈🏴☠️
Omg, I love the thought that those were Taika's kids! I NEVER would have imagined that Izzy would sing that but Con's voice suited it perfectly. It was so incredibly beautiful. I thought I recognised the name Calypso whilst I was editing but I wasn't sure why. I am so looking forward to other reactions coming out so I can watch other people freaking out about this episode, lol. I think we all knew they wouldn't do well, lol.
Also this is making my brain think about the fact that he sang it in french meaning there is a strong chance that Izzy just speaks french and i adore that
Wee John looked amazing! I've lost track of the amount of times I have watched Izzy singing now. His voice is just... and singing this song.... perfection.
If Izzy dies I might rage quit the show. If he can't be redeemed without death, then how can Ed? What because Ed has Stede, but Izzy's alone so he can be killed off? That would send a fucked up message; you're only worth redemption if someone loves you...
It wouldn't be the best message but its a fear I have, because it's been seen so many times in other shows. A character goes through such an incredible arc only to be killed at the end.
omg yupppp ihad to stand up and pace through my room for a few seconds when izzy started singing!!! i LOVE LOVE LOVE izzy and my heart just couldnt handle it. this BETTER be on the soundtrack !!!!!
As soon as i saw Izzy singing I thought of you and what you're reaction was going to be lol. That episode did not go how i thought it was with Ed and Stede the writers really did want to screw with us lol. I look forward to your next reaction. ❤
I'm going to be here steadily beating my "David Jenkins and the rest of the creative team and cast love Con O'Neill and Izzy isn't going anywhere" drum until the finale. If I'm wrong, I'll eat my hat (I really don't think I'm wrong).
i don't THINK they would have izzy sacrifice himself for the crew/ed&stede? like it feels kind of at odds with how the show has been thus far. i mean it would certainly fit with the level of drama they've hit in the past, but at its heart, this show is a romcom. you usually don't kill off the love interest's bff in romcoms. i think they're more likely to fake us out like they did with lucius, or have him attempt a heroic sacrifice but be rescued by the crew as an explicit rejection of the redemption = death trope. ....or maybe due to scheduling conflicts they WILL have to kill off con o'neill's character, and they WILL lean into the heroic sacrifice thing in order to give izzy a dignified send-off. but somehow i doubt that they'd spend that much time and energy on this character just to dump him at the end of season 2. i mean it IS worrying that izzy is drinking so heavily, but remember, he's still recovering from an amputation. and there's not much available in terms of painkillers on a pirate ship besides booze.

Been humming it on and off all day

I love that too. It's not perfect and I love that none of the crew ridiculed him at all
@@Shelma32Reactionsand it wasnt played for comedy either! Amazing!

@@Shelma32Reactions Oh, and I forgot, they obviously used Calypso in Pirates of the Caribbean, too!
@Miroslava_Ivanova after buttons I did wonder if a sea goddess would be made canon when they mentioned that name.
Also this is making my brain think about the fact that he sang it in french meaning there is a strong chance that Izzy just speaks french and i adore that
I love it so much too. I think i'd combust if we heard him speaking French lol.
I had the exact same reaction to Con's singing as you. I got so excited haha. So gorgeous, love this for Izzy.
I love it so much too. He's getting to express himself so much and I adore it.
And the Unicorn sang.
And it was beautiful!
Great reaction to Con’s perfect voice! I keep watching those scenes over and over - he’s a siren!
And love Wee John as Calypso! 💜🌈🏴☠️
Wee John looked amazing!

Oh I want the English & the French version on the soundtrack lol

That episode did not go how i thought it was with Ed and Stede the writers really did want to screw with us lol.
I look forward to your next reaction. ❤
Aww, that's awesome :) I have still not recovered, lol.
I had no idea how the episode was going to go but that was not it. It was incredible.
I'm going to be here steadily beating my "David Jenkins and the rest of the creative team and cast love Con O'Neill and Izzy isn't going anywhere" drum until the finale. If I'm wrong, I'll eat my hat (I really don't think I'm wrong).
I really hope you're not wrong. I want to think that they wouldn't do something like that after the journey he has had this season.
yeah that was about how i handled this episode, too, lol. glad you got this little pick-me-up!
so the kids ed gave the knives to are taika's actual children
I love that those were his kids!
I mean cannonically, Izzy is supposed to be one of the few ones that survive. But this show isn't historical so who knows what they'll do
i don't THINK they would have izzy sacrifice himself for the crew/ed&stede? like it feels kind of at odds with how the show has been thus far. i mean it would certainly fit with the level of drama they've hit in the past, but at its heart, this show is a romcom. you usually don't kill off the love interest's bff in romcoms. i think they're more likely to fake us out like they did with lucius, or have him attempt a heroic sacrifice but be rescued by the crew as an explicit rejection of the redemption = death trope.
....or maybe due to scheduling conflicts they WILL have to kill off con o'neill's character, and they WILL lean into the heroic sacrifice thing in order to give izzy a dignified send-off. but somehow i doubt that they'd spend that much time and energy on this character just to dump him at the end of season 2.
i mean it IS worrying that izzy is drinking so heavily, but remember, he's still recovering from an amputation. and there's not much available in terms of painkillers on a pirate ship besides booze.
