Day 24: I love this lovely letter, and I hope our boys are enjoying their innkeeper era until we (hopefully) see them again.

Thank you to everyone who played along or donated to SAGE, Rainbow Railroad, or Cornbread and Roses, or agreed to have their art included.

Happy New Year, Crew!

Happy 25th of December, everyone! ✨♥️

We’ve made it to the final day of the advent calendar, and I have been waiting with bated breath to bring you both this door – and the surprise behind it!

A gift from me to you 🥰

Digitally altered production still of Ed and Stede from episode 8 of season 2 of Our Flag Means Death. It’s a still from LuPete’s wedding, where Stede is looking misty eyed at the happy couple and Ed is glancing over at Stede. The image has been digitally altered by drawing a shiny top hat on Stede’s head, and a veil with a crown made of snow flakes on Ed’s head. There’s a heart drawn between their faces, and snow flakes of varying sizes added everywhere but their faces, the veil and the heart between them ♥️ Happy Christmas and Happy Holidays and Happy End-of-Year!

Day 23: MerStede appeared in S2E3 but Stede-Stede wasn't aware of him until Ed told him he saved his life. He was orange and sparkly and looked fantastic

Picture MerStede hearing Ed say this, smiling and wriggling and having a great day like Stede-Stede, and behold: Lucia's MerStede!

Day 22: Stede's motto may not work for every poisonous thing, but metabolizing pain and guilt into something positive is a useful life skill.

I love everything Illustory makes from fanart to inspired originals. I just had to include this glorious piece!

Digitally altered production still of Buttons, ‘Karl’ (except he’s been switched out with a goose), Frenchie, and Ed ‘Blackbeard’ Teach from episode 4 of Season 1 of Our Flag Means Death. The image has been digitally altered (by @tillychmo – apart from the goose! I don’t know who made the orig. switch-out!) by drawing Santa hats on all four of them (yes, goose included) + adding snowflakes of varying sizes to everywhere but their faces. (Izzy is technically also in the photo, but he’s so well-hidden behind Ed that I only just realised it right now 🙈😅) Handwritten text at the top of the image reads: “THE 23RD DOOR”.

Day 21:

Stede is very proud of his punch so definitely journal-worthy, and he likely gushed about the suit and complained for 3 pages about having to give it away before Ed got to see him in it.

(Had to use the pic from @ourartmeanszepp's kofi since mine's blurry)

Day 20:

This line is the whole show. From the beginning, Stede wanted his ship to be a place where pirates could work out their trauma and grow as people. I Jenkins-ed the ship image from S2E6. It's impossible to see but I added stars around it so it looks like it is floating in space.

Photo of a round refrigerator magnet with a clear glass bead covering a small circle of paper with a frame of the pirate ship The Revenge. The scene is at night with colorful fireworks and captioned "Safe Space Ship." They are very faint, but I added "stars" all around it so it looks like it is floating in space.

I love this design Ro made of the phrase on the moon! Such a powerful image for them. Almost as if the whims are influenced by the moon or at least as "inconstant" as the moon.

Day 19:

I Jenkins-ed the order again slightly. Stede does say they're prone to whims in S2E4, but it's Ed that uses the phrase "whim prone" in the next episode. I just wanted to use a different quote for tomorrow.

Digitally altered production still of Ed and Stede from episode 9 of season 1 of Our Flag Means Death. It’s from the moment Stede has been sentenced to death.

The image has been digitally altered (by @tillychmo) by drawing Santa hats on both of their heads, and snowflakes in various sizes have been added to everywhere but their faces.
