And it’s a f*cking original story! Not based on a popular book. Not a sequel or spinoff.

This fan art bought us another season and put food on all of our tables. We will always be indebted to you.

Sometimes I remember worrying that I was embarrassing when I started sharing my fanart. I fell so hard & so fast for our pirates. Then a pro comic artist I really look up to just out of the blue told me my OFMD stuff was "beautiful work". It was like he knew I needed to hear it right at that moment.

So I did this back in the summer, but never got the chance to write a fic. The plot is like: Ed was an undercover agent and got double crossed, and he found Stede, the only person who can help him clear his name. Things didn’t go as planned… (Graphic means blood and small cuts). #ofmd

Ed is sitting in a police car with handcuffs. Stede wears a uniform, leaning over the window and watching the gorgeous man he just arrested.

Well, it’s October. Guess what I’m gonna post on AO3 tomorrow. (Gesture ref from RedNote) #ofmd

Ed and Stede cuddled in the bed. They’re talking about some fantasy that is illustrated outside of the broken window: different first meet when Stede was Ed’s captive.

It’s surely a snack in China. At least farmers markets in the north had them when I was a kid. Crispy and flavorful, like a fluffy Cheetos.

So… in 5 years, we’d still meet in a cabin for a weekend, make flags, discuss fan fictions, present ppt slides, put on a talent show, visit a cat cafe, draw a lighthouse, and then binge watch season 3 of #ofmd

Cat cafe in Lancaster PA. They’re also OFMD fans hence the decoration. They means owner and the cats.

Flags and lighthouse paintings we made during the weekend.

We’re Mary for an afternoon.

And pirates made these?? Gosh they're good.

LOOOOK at all of these incredible paintings!!! Everyone did magnificently!! Hooray for pirate camp! 💜

#ofmd #OFMDfanart

Many people posed in front of a large log cabin. Each person is holding up a canvas with their unique version of Mary's Lighthouse Painting from Our Flag Means Death Season 1. The canvases cover the faces of the people, and the art looks so good!

Co-captains fell in love on my birthday. What’s better than that?!

no context our flag means death @ofmdnocontext.bsky.social · Sep 1

Three screenshots from OFMD S1E4

1st. Izzy Hands: It's September 1st, boss.

2nd. Edward Teach: What's that, mate?
Izzy: It's September the 1st.

3rd. Ed: Dickfuck, no, it's not.

The book says 海盗旗升起, the official Chinese title of the show. The text summarizes first 3 episodes. Stede’s necklace says平安，means wish you safe. Ed’s holding an orange and wearing a red silk on his head, some symbols from S1. Pattern on his wrist bands’ is his tattoos. Cat collar bell is also there!

#YWMLP #ofmd I was a bit excited watching the end of S1, hoping to see the co-captains actually visited my hometown. Well, they did now. The clothes were traditional Hanfu, and if you attend Jenkins’ School of Historical Accuracy, it’s accurate.

Ed and Stede in Hanfu. Stede sits on the window frame reading a book named “Our Flag Means Death”, and Ed is outside holding an orange.

The end of the story. Is it a spoiler to tell you they lived happily ever after?

Ed and Stede are kissing, in front of the police cars.

What a wild story and a good time to collaborate with you!! I never imagined my lil drawing can become a thrilling adventure full of love and crime, which is also love.

Carley AC 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈 @achmonomer.bsky.social · Aug 25

This took me 5 hours. Trying a new paint brush! #ofmd
It’s only M rated but still, I am putting a label on this. It’s a Gentlebeard modern AU!

OMG this is happening... #ofmd
(It's an in-house informal thingy we'll do for the Philly pirate camp.)

A semi-real talent show. None of the featured performers will be there, but we do have several drag gigs and at least one standup from me.

And shipping to Canada is also MUCH more than it should be. So, the prize pack is now a drawing, as @fortuneanddeath.bsky.social asked, about Kraken Ed and Mermaid Stede.

(I can’t believe the background only took 5 mins to draw. I was a genius for 5 mins.)

Ed as Kraken, and Stede as a mermaid. They hug each other under the water.

Shipping to UK is also way too expensive, so the prize bundle for @arcadiaego.bsky.social is here, digitally. #ofmd

On a hill, Stede picked some flowers and handed them to Ed.

Chapter 4 is up! Also, this is my *original* RBB submission. So, the FIRST EVER fanart I’ve done. #ofmd drawing may have spoiler and disturbing items. No one was harmed!

Ed arrested Stede. The room was dark, and a helicopter was outside.

#ofmd #YWMLP wanna share my postcard in progress. It’s an AU but also can be canon-divergent: if they eloped after S1E09. And the clothes are OFMD-level accurate, just so you know… 1717 was Qing Dynasty.

Stede is sitting on a window frame, and Ed is outside holding an orange. They are in traditional Chinese robes (Hanfu).

Chapter 3. May contain spoilers so read the chapter first! (The drawing itself is G rated, but not the fic)

Since shipping overseas is unreasonably expensive, the @adoptourcrew.bsky.social pride prize bundle has regenerated into a drawing I just did in the past 3.5 hours. It’s a beach date! (A commission for @klbaileyart.bsky.social)
#ofmd #ofmdfanart #gentlebeard

Ed holds Stede’s hand. They are glowing in the sunset light on a beach.
