I’m going to go ahead and do this to myself, aren’t I? Sigh, and I’ll love every painful bit of it.

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)

It's #wipwednesday. Here's a cut scene from Calypso's Birthday. #OFMDfanart #OFMD

A sketch of Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach in bed on The Revenge mostly clothed. Ed's straddling Stede and has his hands on the stiddies. Stede's leaning back on one hand, his other hand is... well, I'm not sure, you'll have to imagine. Oh, and they're very sweetly kissing. Probably because they're boyfriends.

My Revenge art arrived today from @gaywatson.bsky.social (who went ahead and framed it for me 🥹), and she’s absolutely lovely! Thank you to all the @ofmd-postcards.bsky.social organizers and helpers 💜

Gotta re-repost because did you know this line exists in here?!:

He makes the choice to drop his voice a note lower; slow and heavy like a stone dropped into water. Just to see the kind of ripple it might make in Stede.
💜🫠💜
You get to just read this line and so much GOOD kissing!

Did you know Free Space Ed is doing some kissing right now? it's true, you can hear it direct from him if that's your vibe: archiveofourown.org/works/614230...

(it's UPDATED!! thank you again for your patience while the year 2025 has continued to be completely awful. i'm so grateful for you all xx)

In a small room tucked away in the back of Merperson Flotation Therapy, sprawled across a honeycomb tessellation of white tiles, hair dripping, limbs heavy: Edward Teach is kissing the man he loves.

There are several things that don’t make a lick of sense about this.

It doesn’t make sense that Ed is on the floor, for starters. He has absolutely no recollection of climbing out of the tank, and yet here he is.

(He’s propped himself up on one palm, his legs splayed out in a messy pile behind him. His wrist aches, and it'd maybe ache less if he popped his other hand on the floor too, distribute his weight a bit more evenly, but…nah. Good suggestion, but no, thanks all the same.)

(The fingers of Ed’s free hand are in Stede’s hair, so. That hand is not going anywhere.)

It doesn’t make sense that everything is blue. Dim, deep, rippling. Ed feels like he’s been tethered beneath the surface of the sea.

(It’s the lights from the pod. They must have eased their way back on while Ed’s eyes were closed. They’re on a timer. Sixty minutes. Ed reckons he couldn’t have been in the pod for much longer than thirty minutes. Which means Ed has been kissing Stede for a very, very long time.)

(This doesn’t make any sense either. Timer must be broken.)

The fact that Ed has just now decided that he’s in love: this, too, does not make any sense.

He hadn’t been in love an hour ago, or a day ago, or a week before that.

And that’s gotta be a fucking glitch in the human condition, right? That you can just not be in love one moment, and then the next you are? Who the fuck approved that in the design process?

(Only…this does, actually, make at least a little bit of sense. That Ed is in love.)

(Because it’s slowly dawning on Ed that…maybe he had been in love an hour ago. And a day ago. And a week before that.)

(Maybe he just didn’t need to be able to name it to feel it.)

There’s one main thing, though, that absolutely does make sense. Complete, exhaustive, faultless, comprehensive…

For each new ep drop I’d get up at 5 am to watch and squeal with @sillyteehee.bsky.social, then repeat a few hours later with @sdryan.bsky.social, then gorge myself on fandom tweets. It was fucking magical. 💜🏴‍☠️🦄

You’ve gotten some great advice in here. I’m only popping my head up to throw my hat in the ring if you need a beta who loves SPAG, cheerleading, and following directions. 💖
