Jenn Lee overboard! @self-induljennt.bsky.social · 2d

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.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough', just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERY THING, stop calling it 'the future'. AI is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I've been meaning to draw this since I saw the post. XD

#art #ourflagmeansdeath #ofmd #ofmdfanart #izzyhands

A cartoony drawing of Izzy Hands from Our Flag Means Death. He is lying on his back with his feet in the air, pointed upward, in order to show his boots that have been modified to have fingers, with the middle fingers sticking up, as if to flip off whoever's in front of him.

A year ago I was posting my REMIX of @kninjaknitter.bsky.social's podfic of In Favor With Their Stars by @mxmollusca.bsky.social.
It remains one of my favourite things I've ever made and began the Kninja-daiz collab era 🥰

My piece for the Italy themed OFMD zine "La Dolce Vita".
I reinterpreted the movie poster for Fellini's "E la nave va," which translates to "And the ship sails on". It's about a cruise ship with a group of absurd characters on board and I thought it would be perfect for them :'D

Who wants some PWP?

#WIPWednesday feat. snippets from my Big Bang! My first bang ever! I’ve been paired with @samwtf.bsky.social and @akans.bsky.social and I’m excited for this new kind of collab 💜

#OFMDBB25 #OFMDNSFW

Chapter 1 (Stede POV)
Stede sits on his couch, staring at the box on his coffee table. He's both excited, and terrified. It came completely discrete, as promised. A plain brown box with a simple 'KD' as the sender. Nothing out of the ordinary. Only Stede knows what's inside it.
He takes a deep breath and cuts open the tape.
He lifts the teal and gold tissue paper to reveal the contents of the box: a somewhat realistic silicone dildo sporting a pair of frenum piercing as part of the mold in a teal and gold fade (the matching tissue paper is a nice touch) and a pale purple silicone butt plug. But under that is something else wrapped in blue and white tissue paper. Something Stede doesn't know what to expect.

I would give this 10 stars if I could!! I'm fresh out of a divorce and out of the closet, and new to sex toys and dildos, so I got the David in a small size, as that seemed the least intimidating for a "baby gay" like myself. I also stepped out of my comfort zone and took advantage of the free mystery toy. I was not disappointed! In fact it was the best experience in the bedroom I think l've ever had. I ended up receiving this gorgeous Drako in extra small. And let me tell you. World rocked. Eyes opened wide. / now understand the large appeal of toys like this. In addition to the extremely pleasurable shape, these toys seem very well made! They feel every bit the high quality silicone as advertised, and the colors are absolutely stunning in person. I will certainly be pouring over the website in more detail than I did my first go around and purchasing another beautiful piece of what I consider to be art. Thank you Ed, who made and put together my package. 10/10
Yours
Stede

Ed helped bring the dinosaurs back to life. When he visits a local dinosaur rescue sanctuary, he doesn’t expect to fall head over heels for a cute blond.
