That isn't stupid! You could've done y2 B M B' u2 R2 u2, but that's still a very good first block. Only 6 moves.

Well, it felt silly for my first block to be a 3 move insert plus swapped edges. It's so far from what I'm used to doing, lol.

I tried a bunch of variations of u2 R2 u2 and E2 R2 E2 and other similar things just to try to find one that gave the best position for solving second block. As my initial solution indicated, none of them really did. I did find another solution later that I edited into my original post, where I just left those edges and solved the second block with the edges swapped there too.

46 STM. Damn long LSE. The others are pretty good.

35 STM. Since the corners are permuted after the FB, maybe it is possible to find a short SB with CMLL skip... Anyone?

That doesn't seem to work to me.

BAD. I need to work on second block.

I see nothing wrong with your second block.
For the second part, I would use
U2 R U' r' U2 r U R2' U M U M2 U R, which is shorter, but could be trickier because of the M moves.
