This is my favorite time of year. I am not fall's favorite human though. Low sunlight sads got me hard today. Needed to draw a tiny comfy Ed about it.

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Small digital drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing an off-white robe and pants combo. The robe is decorated with tiny gold flowers and vines around the hem and shoulders. He's wearing big brown slippers. His hair is down, falling around his face and down his back. He looks cozy, happy. Could be happier, if he had a hot cocoa.

I'm reading a (non-OFMD) fic bc I love the premise, but I feel decidedly non-shippy about the characters so reading their desire is weird. Allllmost past a non-opinion into dislike. I am 1000% for other peeps enjoying this ship btw. It's just been weird processing how *I* feel about it as I read.

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)

"EDWARD!"

Here's stock photo studies while I was playing D&D tonight.

#omfd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is naked and jumping into water. Stede is in way and is going to get splatted by his hurdling naked boyfriend. Is he terrified? Is he a little turned on? Yes.

I'd love to be stabbed by Jim #ofmdfanart

A digital pencil portrait of Jim from Our Flag Means Death. They're pictured from the shoulders up, head turned, gazing softly at someone off screen. This is S2 Jim, so their hair looks really fucking badass, and they're wearing pauldrons made of thick rope

“There. Much better” Ed whispered softly as he rested his chin on Stede’s shoulder.

Boyfriend's pockets are the best pockets. Ed says so. Got to do an illustration for @watchtheflow.bsky.social's toasty sweet 'Bonfire Night'! 🧡

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're wearing modern warm clothing; coats and scarf and gloves. Ed is resting his chin on Stede's shoulder as he shoves his hands into Stede's coat pockets from behind. Stede is giggling, all crinkly eyes and dimples. The night is cold enough for their breath to show and they're lit from below from a nearby bonfire. They're as sticky toasty sweet as smores.

Had so much fun at @twentysidedtavern.bsky.social last night!

Actors perform an improv D&D adventure on stage. It gets very silly!

Actors perform an improv D&D adventure on stage. They're standing in front of the screen simulating an alleyway and looking towards the crowd.

Actors perform an improv D&D adventure on stage - one guy in an astronaut helmet is holding a sword and riding on another guy pretending to be a horse, while another actor twerks in a wizard cape in front of them. It makes about as much sense as it sounds.

That's where I am, I have tea guilt that I haven't used them all, but I feel like they're so old I should just toss them. Then I have to figure out what to do with the tins 😂

MrsScience 🏴‍☠️ @themrsscience.bsky.social · 10d

Well they're stickers on tins, and I love tins... But I don't know what I'm going to do with so many of them at once! I could also peel off the stickers and keep them somewhere. I have a scrapbook type thing that would be a good spot, or the shadowbox is a cool idea.

Rhys Darby on #OFMD cancellation: "Why take that away? Nice one, world! Or the dude that probably did it! You know who you are! Money man!"
He didn't name names but we heard it loud and clear all the same, didn't we? (Can probably guess which shows he thinks are "really lame" too!)

The Dread Pirate Blackhook and his manic pixie boyfriend. 🧡 They win the costume contest every year.

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death dressed as Captain Hook and Tinker Bell. Ed's costume is classic pirate captain with one arm on the duster removed. He has a long red sash tied as a belt. His hat and coat are mostly purple and white with gold filigree. Stede's costume is tight and short, revealing his long fuzzy legs. He's holding Ed around his shoulders with one arm so that he is lifted and kicking both feet. His wings are bright yellow and pink. He's tossing gold confetti like pixie dust.

I'm really sorry, but after rewatching ofmd again, the line: 'I'm sorry if my horrible naked chin disgusts you.' just hits different now—
AKA ...What if Ed had a moko kanohi (facial tattoo) and he hides it under his beard?

I ended up rambling about it in a whole post on my Tumblr:') #ofmd #edteach

#ofmdfanart #gentlebeard

Illustration of Ed hugging Stede, his chest to Stede's back, right hand grabbing his waist while he holds Stede's left teacup holding hand in the other. Ed is dressed in a loosely tied battle robe, the golden banyan showing a peek of Ed's belly and right leg between Stede's, and his hair is half tied up in a bun.
Stede's shirt is wide open over his shoulders, showing off his chest, and he's leaning his face to the right to give Ed more space to kiss and bite. He has minty green breeches with an ocre silk scarf tied around the waistband, and a pair of dark teal blue tall boots with light waves stitched into it and golden cuffs.
