CALYPSO'S MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT!

While we are hosting an in-person floating market, some of our friends aren't able to attend in person.
With this in mind, we're working with several international artists so attendees can pre-order art for collection at TWC with no shipping ❤️

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Summary:

Ed pulled his damn tie loose as he walked out of the meeting and looked at his phone. Stede had called him just before they were done, and Ed hadn't had a chance to excuse himself to take the call. There was a notification on his phone. '1 new message from ✨Stede✨'

Before pop off for the night please if you haven’t already, read Ro’s Whumptober fic that I did art for💜

Not my usual smut work which is why I’m super proud of managing to draw something so heartbreaking.

Summary:

Stede didn't know where he was. The trees all looked the same, looming trunks and hanging vines. The sun had begun to set, saturating everything in greys and monotone as the light drained from the sky.

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:

#ofmd #ofmdfanart

Fanart of Oluwande from OFMD, leaning on his outstretched arms with his chest out and his legs stretched behind him. He is lounging on a white fur rug that has oranges sporadically placed on it around him. He wears a teal corset and skirt, with the corset loosened showing off his chest and stomach. He wears sheer white gloves to his elbow with white flowers on them. He is also wearing a teal head wrap, teal hoop earrings and a pearl necklace. He stares at the camera with small smile. The words "OLUWANDE BOODHARI, SEASON'S BREAKPUT MODEL 2025" are on the right side of him. The words "PHOTOGRAPHY BY: ZHENG YI SAO" are at the bottom left below the fur rug. The background is a light pink with the text being a darker shade of pink.

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. 🧡

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.

Did you know that Taika recommended Rhys for Stede? And then proceeded to say no to every actor suggested for Blackbeard until David asked him if *he* wanted to do it and he said yes?? That man basically said “if anyone is gonna be Rhys’s boyfriend it’s me” and we love him for that decision

Feelin spicy feisty after a fight with my computer and tablet this morning so you get some of my spicy art for #TakeTwoTuesday. Here's @ophelia5wims.bsky.social and @omgcocaptains.bsky.social's Partnered boys doing Jeep things.

#nsfwOFMD #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're in the backseat of a modern Jeep. They're both naked. Stede is sitting in Ed's lap while Ed jerks him off. Stede's consciousness is somewhere several miles above them. Ed's completely lost in watching Stede's face. Sunset oranges, purples, and blues are peeking behind them.

Summary:

It had been years since Ed had thought of the name Badminton. Years since it had run through his head. Years since Stede had mentioned it. Ed had got complacent, thought he wasn't a threat anymore.
