“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'! 🧡

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.

Here's a crop of a little toasty bonfire snuggle for #WipWednesday! 🧡

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're dressed in warm modern clothing, puffy coats and scarf. Ed has his chin hooked over Stede's shoulder. Stede is turned into Ed's cheek and smiling. They're both lit from below by a nearby bonfire.

He’s got a good personality too, so I agree!

The Reluctant Rose @reluctantrose.bsky.social · 1d

I think it’s an actual image from a Netflix documentary—I just stuck the heads on. 😂

I still think about the snails! For anyone else who does too, this account is so freaking amazing: www.instagram.com/p/DPW8EfuCPHY/

I definitely don't know about any rivalries anymore. The last one I remember knowing about was literally Schumacher/Hakkinen. (I am old)

He started out with this character in some local car ads in my area, so seeing him ascend the national stage was kinda surreal. LOVE knowing that he was classically trained, though!

Who, in your opinion, is the most fuckable in F1?

The Reluctant Rose @reluctantrose.bsky.social · 1d

I had to go look at a pic of him--he is not the LEAST fuckable man I've ever seen, but VERY 'meh'.

In fact, my BiL hoped to make a career in racing--he actually beat several now-champion F1 racers on the karting circuit!

The Reluctant Rose @reluctantrose.bsky.social · 1d

It has honestly been so long since I watched F1 (the Mr's family are big fans, as is my eldest!) but I recognize both of those names from when /I/ was watching.

Oh, the F1 girlies are FERAL.

Here's that little thing I wrote for @knivesinfeet.bsky.social!!

Big Wheel Keep on Turnin' a 5785 word RV Meet-Cute

Stede Bonnet is stuck. He's BEEN stuck, stuck in his marriage, stuck in his job, his life. And now? He's stuck in his truck, a fifth wheel trailer behind him, staring down an overpass that sits far too low for him to continue down the highway. Traffic is piling up behind him, cops are swarming, and he's got no idea how to get out of this--until an angel descends from on high to save the day.

He'd KILL.

There are a couple that I got that I have been VERY reluctant to get near my personal parts. "Tingling" seems to be industry speak for 'OW OW OWIE JESUS WHAT THE HELL'.

The Reluctant Rose @reluctantrose.bsky.social · 2d

The Reluctant Rose @reluctantrose.bsky.social · 2d

I did. SO MUCH LUBE.

I still have literally more lube than I am likely to use in my lifetime because they sent me a gift box. 😂

It's clear that the least cool or intellectual thing you can possibly do it shit on things that make other people happy. So why, in a time with so little opportunity for joy, would you continue to do so?
