Hey does anyone know what happened to Rhys’s Buffalo gig at Helium in November? Did I miss him saying he had to back out? I only ask cause I was thinking of going, though I hadn’t got tickets yet I had the Helium event tab open on my phone and a few different accommodations saved on my Expedia lol

happy thursday my loves! @emcolbs.bsky.social and i are here with chapter 30 of out of the bag 🏡🐈 in which the boys watch a rom-com that turns out to be really quite shit, but there may be one nice thing they take away from it in the end 😌

enjoy! archiveofourown.org/works/63564631

title card for Out of the Bag by suchgreatheights. a sofa with scratched-up corners is in the center of the image. in the foreground is a fluffy calico cat running out of a paper bag. above the sofa is summary text:

Friends, Ed can do. Friends, that's easy. Except there are mochas, and there are movies, and there's this whole queer discovery he's helping Stede navigate, and there are a hell of a lot of chocolate muffins.

Sometimes the journey is the most important part.

crop of emcolbs' art from chapter 30 of out of the bag. visible in the crop is stede from the shoulders down, sitting on the sofa. krakatoa (cat) is in his lap and getting the best scritches of her life, complete with a happy kicky leg

If Ofmd could get picked up now and start filming next year, that would really fill out my 2026 fandom schedule

Many thanks!!

Aud 🏴‍☠️ @sonnetswithstede.bsky.social · 2d

tee hee thank you fam!

Aud 🏴‍☠️ @sonnetswithstede.bsky.social · 2d

ok & now I need to know if there are fics that cover this? This being Ed removing the blade…and maybe helping to clean/patch Stede up?……and maybe other (sexy) things? This has got to be a fic that already exists surely 👀

it supposed to be blackbeard rescuing stede pinned to the mast (pierced by izzy's sword) so i thought it would fit the prompt. but mb it looks like ed is killing stede, who knows..

I haven’t experienced being at a con that Kristian DJ’s for, & it’s a fandom hope & dream for me cause I know other people have been able to experience it before! (right up there with actually getting to take a selfie with Rhys after one of his shows 🥲) fingers crossed!! 💜 #RequestOurCrew #OFMD

Request Our Crew @requestourcrew.bsky.social · 4d

This guy is an absolute delight to meet, and experiencing his DJ set live was a highlight of my year! Check out my pinned posts for how to request him, and then request every day!

Oh how exciting would this be!! I’ve never been to this area of the country before, but their next show isn’t until next summer—it would definitely be something I’d consider if they announced an ofmd panel! And the more requests they receive, the more they’ll consider it too!! Let’s go crew 💜🦄🏴‍☠️
