Welcome to where I talk about pirates (OFMD ones specifically), Time Lords and Taylor Swift. She/her. 90s baby. 🇬🇧 pfp by @self-induljennt.bsky.social

Had a complete brain meltdown and I may have done the best typo anyone has ever done in a OFMD fic

This is apparently Ed's new alter ego 🤣🤣
30th birthday isn’t even until November but I’ve booked the venue for my party already lol

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.

It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

He's randomly popped up in a few dreams for me, the most notable one being I found an abandoned kitten on the side of the road and he was driving past so helped us 🤷‍♀️
Are we doing this? Are we sharing TW dreams? I've had one. We were hunting for fossils and we found a good sized ammonite and we were both so excited and I woke up bonkers sad that my awesome fossil wasn't real.
One time I had a dream that I was hanging out with TW and he said he’d bankroll any anti-capitalist anti-colonizer “activism” I did but he’d prefer that nothing illegal was linked back to him (he’d still pay for it though).

Also a fun night. 😌

May I offer you a silly, fluffy Gentlebeard meet-cute in these trying times? In no way inspired by when I went to orchestra rehearsal the other day with my jumper on backwards. Nope. Not inspired by that at all...

Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you

Had I been a boy, I'd be James Maitland, after my Dad's Grandad and then an old family name

But a week before I was born, my mum's 21 year old soul cat passed away, so I also very nearly named Esme after her
Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you

Alexis if I’d been a boy, nickname Alyosha (my mom was a Russian lit major). Alexis actually woulda been a cool NB name
Introduce yourself with the band your parents almost gave you

Richard or Robert.

I would’ve been either Dick or Bob if I’d been born with… y’know, the first thing 😂

Turns out the *first* ultrasound tech was more right than anyone knew, about my actual gender, but.

OFMD fandom you know what to do😂

there are many of us, come hang out!
The pirates I imagine Taylor being shipmates with.

ALSO - how have we as a queer community never talked about this show!!!??? (to my rather poor memory’s knowledge at least) I mean… THIS was my Heated Rivalry.

Where are my OFMD bloomfs!?

just watched a TikTok from an American living here and she said it’s so upsetting that British children have no childhood because we teach them to be adults too young & I was like okay, go on….

She means because children are taught to use cutlery at nursery rather than hands

I’m sorry what

I get so nervous when people are posting cryptic stuff, I’m like what do I need to be worried about now??

When for all I know it could just be something really specific to them and this is very much a me problem I’m aware so idk what I’m trying to say here other than the world is too scary rn

When I choose to see the good side of things, I'm not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It's how I learned to survive through everything. I know you see yourself as a fighter. Well, I see myself as one too. This is how I fight - Everything Everywhere All At Once

Hey loves, I need help and need to add to my to-do list. If you've ever wanted to get some art from me now would be a really lovely time. 🧡

Please help me fill up my coin purse again and give this a share. Thank you so much.
Liz, thank you so much. You actually pushed me to make a better graphic for this. 🧡 🧡
