“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.

Had so much fun at @twentysidedtavern.bsky.social last night!

Actors perform an improv D&D adventure on stage. It gets very silly!

Actors perform an improv D&D adventure on stage. They're standing in front of the screen simulating an alleyway and looking towards the crowd.

Actors perform an improv D&D adventure on stage - one guy in an astronaut helmet is holding a sword and riding on another guy pretending to be a horse, while another actor twerks in a wizard cape in front of them. It makes about as much sense as it sounds.

That's where I am, I have tea guilt that I haven't used them all, but I feel like they're so old I should just toss them. Then I have to figure out what to do with the tins 😂

Well they're stickers on tins, and I love tins... But I don't know what I'm going to do with so many of them at once! I could also peel off the stickers and keep them somewhere. I have a scrapbook type thing that would be a good spot, or the shadowbox is a cool idea.

Rhys Darby on #OFMD cancellation: "Why take that away? Nice one, world! Or the dude that probably did it! You know who you are! Money man!"
He didn't name names but we heard it loud and clear all the same, didn't we? (Can probably guess which shows he thinks are "really lame" too!)

The Dread Pirate Blackhook and his manic pixie boyfriend. 🧡 They win the costume contest every year.

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death dressed as Captain Hook and Tinker Bell. Ed's costume is classic pirate captain with one arm on the duster removed. He has a long red sash tied as a belt. His hat and coat are mostly purple and white with gold filigree. Stede's costume is tight and short, revealing his long fuzzy legs. He's holding Ed around his shoulders with one arm so that he is lifted and kicking both feet. His wings are bright yellow and pink. He's tossing gold confetti like pixie dust.

I'm really sorry, but after rewatching ofmd again, the line: 'I'm sorry if my horrible naked chin disgusts you.' just hits different now—
AKA ...What if Ed had a moko kanohi (facial tattoo) and he hides it under his beard?

I ended up rambling about it in a whole post on my Tumblr:') #ofmd #edteach

Illustration of Ed hugging Stede, his chest to Stede's back, right hand grabbing his waist while he holds Stede's left teacup holding hand in the other. Ed is dressed in a loosely tied battle robe, the golden banyan showing a peek of Ed's belly and right leg between Stede's, and his hair is half tied up in a bun.
Stede's shirt is wide open over his shoulders, showing off his chest, and he's leaning his face to the right to give Ed more space to kiss and bite. He has minty green breeches with an ocre silk scarf tied around the waistband, and a pair of dark teal blue tall boots with light waves stitched into it and golden cuffs.

Illustration of Ed and Stede cuddled up sleeping. Ed face is tucked into the crook of Stede’s neck, his hand resting against Stede's heart. The style is sketchy line work. Ed and Stede are awash in an aura of soft pink fading to yellow and they seem to glow against the background of deep purples and blues.
