What? Ew!

🤣

I am "mostly dead" from seeing this!

The shoes, though!!!!💀🤣

"I want to be a DINTIST."
(I'll see myself out now.)

But I also fell in love with TW and RD (my first introduction to either actor) when I saw the hilarious face Stede makes in scene in the closet (!) when Stede learns Ed is Blackbeard, and then Ed winks! That's when I knew those two were going to have more chemistry than DuPont.

It was the moment during the crow's nest breakfast scene when Ed looks at Stede with such longing, right before Stede realizes Ed's not kidding about them taking a leaf out of each other's books that did it for me. I didn't appreciate eps 1-3 until I had more context and love for the whole crew.

🥂congrats!

Yes. for me. too. Right after I posted this, I did kind of mess something up that I've been kicking myself over, but at least I didn't get fired for it!

And I read a boatload of #OFMD fic. Truly time well-spent, so many flavors of fic to enjoy, and all of it made my heart happy, even when there were angsty or sad parts. Kudos all around!

I participated in a prompt thing for the first time (what are these types of writing events called?) in #OFMDAUgust with a short fic "'Til Deep in the Night"(my 3rd fic to date, my 2nd fic in 2025). bsky.app/profile/joul...

I've been at my new job for a month, and I'm beginning to feel more confident and capable (although I still have a lot of anxiety around making phone calls).

I only have 3 fics (so far), but I'm proud of writing a 9-chapter fic when I never thought I could.
