deleted scene from my brain you’re real to me
a digital drawing recreating the scene from the dream mentioned in the quoted post. it’s season one ed and stede from our flag means death. ed is “teaching” stede a “sword move” and has him pinned against a wall. there are four speech bubbles that read: ed: and then you can do this lean in with your hips move. stede: oh! ed: Really, uh, distracts your opponent. stede: I see… wow!

Y’all, Ed ended up looking like a snack and a half in this drawing I did for @ladypenni.bsky.social

I basically need her to stand over my shoulder every time I draw Ed because 😮‍💨

A digital drawing of Edward Teach from Our Flag Means Death wearing most of his leather outfit, minus a shirt. He has a short beard and long windswept hair. He’s posing with one arm over his head and his jacket hanging off the opposite shoulder. He’s making very hot eye contact with the viewer.

can we talk about ed's hair during calypso's birthday because the way it's glistening and all purple silvery pink is making me insane
A profile pic of ed teach from waist up on his ship. His arm is bare, showing lots of his signature tattoos, he's holding a metal mug, he's wearing his leathers. His hair is down, lit up by lots of colors from the colorful lanterns that are hanging all around the ship, a few of those are behind him. A profile pic of Ed teach looking curiously at Stede who is off screen, there is a black background behind him, he's in his leathers, hair down and lit up by lanterns, his holding a metal mug with his two hands

Digital fanart of Ed (OFMD) sitting on a motorcycle, seen from behind. He is wearing nothing but a leather vest, a studded belt, and a jockstrap, leaving his ass naked and his fuzzy buttcrack on display. He is looking to the side, holding a cig almost to his lips. His hair is half-up and pulled loosely over his right shoulder.

Nine versions (in a 3x3 grid) of the same digital fanart of Ed (OFMD) as seen from behind sitting on a motorcycle, wearing a leather vest and a jockstrap. The versions are all different colors.

Continuing with this piece I did for a collab with @petrichorca.bsky.social last August!

#ofmd #ofmdfanart
Fanart of Ed and Stede sharing multiple kisses. In the top right is of them kissing with Ed having a hand on Stede's cheek. Below that is a bunch of pink hearts coming from a drawing of them having their foreheads touching, eyes closed and smiles on their faces. A bigger drawing on the right is of them kissing with Stede in Ed's lap, holding Ed's face in both of his hands with Ed leaning back and having an arm wrapped around Stede's waist holding him flush against his body. Both have their eyes closed and are blushing. There are KISS texts surrounding them in pink. Art is done in a light blue hue.

Just as shocked as yall to be saying Happy #WipWednesday ✨

You thought Ed folded like a lawn chair in S2Ep4?

Well, what if that fast burn was EXPLOSIVE? 🙏💋

(saw a lot of people saying they should’ve kissed on the couch and i Agreed)
A Screenshot of a fanfiction wip from Our Flag Means Death. It reads: And yet, after it all, after everything… He still found himself loving Stede. God, fuck, he still loved Stede. And missed him. And wanted to be around him—wanted to breathe the same air. He wanted to laugh with him, to cry with him, to eat with him, to sleep with him. He wanted to have what they had a few months prior. He wanted to tell him all that and more. That was so much too though. Hadn’t been back together for a whole day, hadn’t even fully processed everything, only to have all that spill off his aching tongue? Nah; he couldn’t be too much. …But a kiss… A kiss could carry all of that. A kiss could say everything he couldn’t. A kiss could package those sentiments, tie them off with a pretty little bow, and hand them directly to Stede’s soul. And maybe he could even throw a little nip in there, too, a little something that said he was definitely still a bit angry and definitely not an absolute goner. So, yeah. Maybe…he could? Maybe it was worth a shot? And hell, really, where was there to go but up, after he had been at rock-fucking-bottom? Tattered and torn, back from the Gravy Basket, where he had had nothing? …Only for everything to be staring at him so gently, so…expectantly? Okay, yeah, he had to. He had to try.

Eeeeeeee!!! Finally finished this beauty #ofmd #ofmdfanart #edteach
A greyscale digital drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He has a leather jacket flung over his left shoulder and his right hand in the pocket of his leather pants. His torso is bare with all of his tattoos mostly visible. He has a tentacle sort of bodice that is grey and dark purple. He’s looking over towards his left.
