You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you?

A few prints currently on sale in my shop. Ends 12/2 ⭐️

Illustration of the show twin peaks. The setting is inside the black lodge, next to a lamp post with a strong light source is a statue, two hands in a strange formation & a cup of coffee turned upside down pouring out. Underneath is dale cooper walking next to a mirror image of himself. The doppelgänger is looking at the viewer with one shining eye. At the top left and bottom right corners are a symbol of two triangles, representing the two mountain peaks of twin peaks Illustration of two panels like a comic, the edges are all pearls. On the top left is a bouquet of pink garden roses with blood dripping into it and overflowing out the side, beginning to drip outside the pearl frame. The right shows a lipstick dripping into blood on a hand with pink fingernails. The top right corner shows a pair of lips with shiny red lipstick. The background features purple barbed wire & sparkles on a black background. Illustration of sue from the substance blowing a kiss, but she’s got a bloody nosebleed and looks extra sinister. She’s framed on her sides with neon pink and blue stars dripping blood against a black background Illustration of a 90’s tv set with a screen melting out of it. The melting screen has repeating imagery of sailor moons eyes melting together. The tv is surrounded by clouds and moon shapes. There is an overall color palate of soft pinks, blues and yellow.

For WIP Wednesday, I humbly offer @tenderashell.bsky.social this proof of life. Been stuck for awhile, but things are moving along again…
Saturday mornings at the library were Ed’s favorite. Even when he wasn’t officially on the schedule, he was always there. Saturdays were for Storytime. Ed got to spend all his time in the children’s wing, watching the kids’ eyes light up when they found the perfect book. He often stepped in to do the reading himself if they were short of volunteers. Ed was very good at doing the voices. It was kind of his thing (humblebrag), and the kids loved it. This particular morning, it was nearing time to begin and it was starting to look as though Ed would in fact have to do Storytime himself, as their scheduled volunteer reader seemed to have flaked. Ed was in the process of getting the kids settled in on the reading carpet when he heard a voice cry out, rather loudly for the library, “I’m here!” Ed’s head snapped up and he choked on the reproachful “Shhh” that was bubbling up in his throat. There in the doorway stood a solid, rectangular, blonde, frantically panting man. He was wearing skinny jeans and a cream colored shirt, covered by a teal blazer and a messenger bag strapped across his broad frame. He had his hand clutched to his chest as he tried to catch his breath. He was casting his eyes wildly about, and when they finally landed on Ed, his face broke into a wide grin and oh god. Dimple. Ed swallowed. The man approached him with his hand outstretched. “Hello there! I’m Stede Bonnet. Volunteer reader. You must be the librarian!”

It’s even more lovely in person 🥹 thanks to @tenderashell.bsky.social for such a beautiful raffle prize.

I donated to Native Food Alliance - if any of you are looking for a worthy charity, throw a coin their way! Times are so tough; *everyone* deserves to eat. Everyone deserves food security. 💕 🔗⬇️
Stede, is that you?! A hoop exquisitely embroidered in Godfrey Thornrose colors. Silver, blue, white, and little accents in yellow and orange. What a look. Jeff the Accountant oughta kiss him about it, frankly.

heavy focus captain_cappy Summary: Ed lies in the aftermath. Stede’s asleep on his arm. In a few minutes it’ll go numb. He tries to cherish the time. They washed the sheets yesterday, so Stede made them fuck on the couch. Notes: (See the end of the work for notes.) Work Text: Breathe. You’re okay. Yeah, there. There. More, more— mhm. Yep. Yesssss. Please— yes, thank you. Hah. Don’t— right now? Mhm, yeah, you’re, pfffff, funny. Right there, again. Aww, don’t. You’re beautiful. C’mon. I love— hold on, slow down. Slow— mhm, yeah, you know, good job. Can you do that again? That— that, mhm, fuck yeah, yes, yes, yes I’m almost— yeah. Hmmm. C’mere, let me kiss you again. Yeah, it was good. You’re good? That’s not a silly question, maybe I was bad. Aww, thank you. You’re good, too. Always so good. Perfect, baby. I love you, too.

Today I’m thinking a lot about the concepts of UBI and 4 day workweeks, and how every time one of those programs is trialed it is a resounding success, how we could so easily create a happier & more productive society, how much more we could achieve if everyone wasn’t stressed as hell all the time

Fic idea free to a good home:

Ed is retired, trying to find something interesting to do with his new free time, he signs up for a 2 week bus tour

Stede the overly enthusiastic tour guide gives Ed a new lease on life, Ed laughs at Stede’s jokes, they’re instantly in love

Buttons is the bus driver

all I want to breathe bizarrelittlemew Summary: Stede accidentally reveals to his coworker, Ed, that he has never had his neck kissed. Ed figures it would be irresponsible of him to let Stede carry on like that.

I couldn't get this out of my head. Had to doodle it to move on with my day. 😆 #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath
Very sketchy comic page featuring Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is looking at one of those standup signs that are outside stores on the sidewalk. It say's BONNET'S BEAUTS and "ask about our facials". Ed snickers. He looks into the building and sees Stede waving stupidly in Ed's direction while smiling. Ed is immediately heart-eyes. He looks at the sign again, focused on "ask about our facials!" then twiddles his fingers in response to Stede.
