We can live in silks and leathers 🍰
#ofmdfanart #ourflagmeansdeath

Five coloured sketches of the progression of Stede's outfits through the series.
First sketch: Stede walking around with the potted fern and a quill pen, wearing a light teal vest and breeches over a white shirt and stockings.
Second sketch: Stede kneeling in shock in front of the weapon that Chauncy used, his clothes from the privateer academy rumpled and dirty.
Third sketch: Stede in his celebrity pirate era, with a dark teal shirt that shows off his chest, brown leather pants and boots and a sword belt. He's winking off to his right, holding onto a rope with his left hand and his right is resting on the hilt of his sword.
Fourth sketch: Stede is back in his soft fabrics, in blue cotton pants, leather boots and a linen shirt that's wide open and sliding off his shoulders, showing bites and kisses left by Ed. In his hands he's holding onto the pink robe with a soft smile on his face.
Fifth sketch: Stede finds a middle ground in his wardrobe, mixing the softness of fine fabrics with the practicality of leather. He kept the loose shirt wide open over his chest, with shiny pearl and gold necklaces framing his neckline. He's kneeling with one leg on a stool, leather pants soft and stretching in his pose, and buttery gold leather boots adding a pop of colour to his outfit. His upper body is draped over the counter as he smiles coily at his companion (who's not in frame but is definitely Ed)

vibrating thinking about this chapter

edward teach is a very good boy 🍉🏳️‍🌈 @flagmeanssteph.bsky.social · 1d

happy thursday my loves! @emcolbs.bsky.social and i are here with chapter 30 of out of the bag 🏡🐈 in which the boys watch a rom-com that turns out to be really quite shit, but there may be one nice thing they take away from it in the end 😌

enjoy! archiveofourown.org/works/63564631

title card for Out of the Bag by suchgreatheights. a sofa with scratched-up corners is in the center of the image. in the foreground is a fluffy calico cat running out of a paper bag. above the sofa is summary text:

Friends, Ed can do. Friends, that's easy. Except there are mochas, and there are movies, and there's this whole queer discovery he's helping Stede navigate, and there are a hell of a lot of chocolate muffins.

Sometimes the journey is the most important part.

crop of emcolbs' art from chapter 30 of out of the bag. visible in the crop is stede from the shoulders down, sitting on the sofa. krakatoa (cat) is in his lap and getting the best scritches of her life, complete with a happy kicky leg
