I want to say something about art.
(a 🧵)

It is a uniquely human experience to see a sculpture or a painting and recognize yourself in the curve of a line or a cluster of brushstrokes;

The king of "per my last message" & "per our previous conversation" emails can confirm: he's almost always a bummer to see in your inbox.

(The exception is when Ed makes him send out "per our CEO's latest hyperfixation, we will now be observing 'Dress Like A Pirate ThARRRRRsdays' in the office")

This story is so special and well, suffice to say that I'm incredibly excited to be a part of it! For #WIPWednesday here's a snip of an initial color sketch that I cranked out right after getting matched because I could not waaaaaaait. Ily bb Stede!

Good news from the ultrasound and we have a treatment path forward! Everything's still crossed that we get there soon. Thank you again for your comfort and support! I'm planning to get orders packed up this weekend and I'll probably leave this pr/nt up in my shop as I do quite like it. 💛💙💛

Hey pals, it's been an extremely stressful month. This little guy is not doing well. We're trying to find a solution, but the vet bills are really adding up. No pressure, but if you liked this piece and want to help, I have pr/nts available in my shop.

Here's that little thing I wrote for @knivesinfeet.bsky.social!!

Big Wheel Keep on Turnin' a 5785 word RV Meet-Cute

Stede Bonnet is stuck. He's BEEN stuck, stuck in his marriage, stuck in his job, his life. And now? He's stuck in his truck, a fifth wheel trailer behind him, staring down an overpass that sits far too low for him to continue down the highway. Traffic is piling up behind him, cops are swarming, and he's got no idea how to get out of this--until an angel descends from on high to save the day.

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.

H-how did you know that I just fell down the RPF rabbit hole again? I've already read this twice and I think about often. It is. So. Good.
