Hey all!

We have had questions about our involvement in the Beach Kiss project. While we support this project wholeheartedly, at this time no co-captains are involved.

Thanks friends. Keep on being amazing. 🥰

You Drew Me A Lovely Frame @youdrewaloveframe.bsky.social · Aug 12

This is the official bluesky account for the OFMD fandom art project You Drew Me A Lovely Frame. We wish to animate the Beach Kiss from season 2. Project startup will be on 1 September -25, and invitations will be posted here and everywhere else on that day.

Shut up 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣 (you’re not wrong though)

You Only Frame Twice 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 @youonlyframetwice.bsky.social · Jul 31

I’m grateful every day to get to be a part of such an incredible crew of folks. The talent on this ship!! But also, the kindness, the tenacity, the love 💖

I personally think YOFT is one of the coolest things this fandom has produced (I’m obviously biased, but…) 🥹

David Jenkins @david-jenkins.bsky.social · Jul 30

Before you spend money on that auction, please know that those are only props and costumes. They hold no magic.

The coolest things are the things you made around the show.

I’m ambivalent about auctions around Our Flag that don’t benefit an independent artist or larger cause.

It's been four weeks since #YOFT premiered! Feels a little strange. I went from it consuming pretty much my every waking hour to... not. Weird feelings!

I promise I'll continue featured contributors, my life has just been a trash fire!

Give it a watch again or for the first time. It's worth it <3

Hi! We'd be happy to try, but we aren't sure what you mean by flickering? Can you give us some examples?

So glad you enjoyed it!! <3

Aww I'm so glad you loved it!

You Only Frame Twice 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 @youonlyframetwice.bsky.social · Jul 16

Things like this are exactly why we didn't force everyone to stick to a storyboard -- we never would have come up with this, and LOOK at it!

You Only Frame Twice 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 @youonlyframetwice.bsky.social · Jul 16

Time for more #YOFT featured collaborators! (Sorry for the pause, I've been out of town)

Today our feature is @alandslideofop1.bsky.social! These two pieces with ghostly Stede are some of my favorite individual pieces of art in the whole project, but they did a ton of gorgeous work!

Ed, telling a story about Stede killing the Badmintons, mimes stabbing Nigel in the eye. Behind him ghostly blue Stede does the same, and the silhouette of Nigel is stabbed

Ed is telling the story of Chauncey getting shot. He's holding his arm out. Ghostly blue Stede is behind him, hugging him with his eyes closed, and has his arm out holding the gun like Ed is miming

A crowd of ruffian inn guests listening to Ed, who is animatedly telling stories, in the front room of the inn

Ed grinning with his finger up, telling stories in front of a painting at the inn

It was MARVELOUSLY done!

And this afternoon's featured contributor is @sweetpotato70.bsky.social ! Sweetpotato did part of the absolutely incredible Badminton sequence, and also jumped in as a pinch hitter to do some gorgeous Ed contemplation. I invite YOU to contemplate the objects on Badminton's desk. 😌

A drawing of Lord and Lady Badminton at the desk. On the desk are a variety of objects. Including a suspicious looking paperweight. In the background are a Warhol Badminton portrait, and Badminton Gothic.

Good morning! Our featured collaborator this time is @sparklespriggs.bsky.social , who did the voice of Fang! Fang's little "I'll never tell. That's no one's business but Izzy's" makes me do this face every time: 🥺

I've said it before but we're so grateful to every person who helped with YOFT!! 💖

Aaand for this afternoon the RNG picked me as the featured contributor, which feels kinda weird, but! We bow to the random number gods.

I'm @gelatinousstand.bsky.social and I co-captained this ship. I also made Izzy's Revenge and some backgrounds, including for the after credits scene!

An embroidery/applique piece of Izzy's Revenge on the ocean. The unicorn at the front of the ship has been repaired and has a tiny golden horn and a golden leg. The ship is flying the white cat flag

An embroidery/applique piece of different blues and purples forming an underwater scene. There's a tiny sea turtle in the upper right

Our featured contributor this morning is @lostinthebabylon.bsky.social! Subaru did some of the most adorable art in the animatic, during the cave scene! Just look at those lil guys 🥺

Think this was from an early draft. It’s real.

Really wanted I’m On Fire in there. Verrrrry $$$ song tho and S2 budget was tight.

Also have no idea how that bulging parenthetical got in there, hate those 😅🫠

Love that this is out there enjoy 💜
