it’s creepy season, did you know about haint blue? I grew up in Charleston which has a lot of practices that came from the enslaved African population. A lot of people just accept these things and don’t know where it comes from. The blue porch ceiling is to fool ghosts to think it’s sky and move on.

He's watching Blondie over there, and is immediately, hopelessly enamoured! What ridiculous thing is Stede doing that will have Ed sauntering over in T-minus 2 minutes?

#ofmd #OFMDfanart

Ed Teach from Our Flag Means Death posed from the hips up. He's got an expression on his face that looks like a mix between a smirk and an embarrassed smile. He's two seconds away from twirling his hair around his finger. His right hand is curled up around his mouth and his left lies down to his side. He's wearing a pink long sleeved shirt with a snake pattern, and the shirt, his skin, and his dark wavy hair are highlighted in bright neon colors from pinkish red to purple to blue. His hair is half up with a small bun corralling the top half. The background is bright purple.

Title: May, June, July, I Count the Time
Author: Vmarssmartrthnme
Summary:
Ed and Stede (and Judy!) survive their first full day on the road. Ed gets some answers he's been hoping for, plus a few more he realizes he didn't actually want at all.

Look at her! 👁️ 👄 👁️
I commissioned the incomparable @sailorsruin92.bsky.social to draw me some ‘bodice ripper’ style artwork that I could use as a cover to bind my fic ‘Crossing Swords with the Pirate Captain’. She is beauty. She is grace.

It's #wipwednesday. Here's a cut scene from Calypso's Birthday. #OFMDfanart #OFMD

A sketch of Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach in bed on The Revenge mostly clothed. Ed's straddling Stede and has his hands on the stiddies. Stede's leaning back on one hand, his other hand is... well, I'm not sure, you'll have to imagine. Oh, and they're very sweetly kissing. Probably because they're boyfriends.

Jenn Lee overboard! @self-induljennt.bsky.social · Mar 12

There are stories that come out of our community that force me to sit with myself. @amuseoffyre.bsky.social's A Little Restraint is one. It's had a grip on me since the start. I love Ed's flirty selfie. Had to draw it a while back. 🧡

#OurFlagMeansDeath #ofmd

Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing a modern leather harness across his chest. He's holding his arm up to take a selfie and doing the horns gesture with his other hand. He's winking and sticking his tongue out.

We're moving in just two months and I've got too much crafted stuff.

There's a #helluvaboss cross stitch, two diamond painting cards and newly added, a diamond painting of lavender (fully finished and framed).

Check it out there:

Here! Various versions in case anyone prefers one format over others. I used 32ct linen, 2x2 for the crosses, 1 strand for backstitch, but in hindsight kinda wish I used sewing thread for the backstitch for a finer outline at this tiny scale? The floss looks ok though!

And a couple of minor notes:

Gentlepurred cross stitch chart (colour blocks + backstitching)

Gentlepurred cross stitch chart (symbols + colour blocks + backstitching)

Gentlepurred cross stitch chart (symbols + backstitching)

Gentlepurred cross stitch chart (backstitching in contrast colour so it's easier to see)

what you will do is look at the beautiful art @rysiutokwiat.bsky.social made of the lyhap boys. @littlefingies.bsky.social gifted me a commission which was truly the nicest thing ever especially because it produced this lovely rendering of that first dream sequence in the fic (linked below)

what is basically a screenshot of like your heart’s a pomegranate. ed is cutting up a cucumber and leaning back to bite stede’s neck. stede has a serene and soft look on his face. there is blood coming from the bite mark. they are both shirtless. there is a second view of the two of them from the back.
