Like he just came in to ask where the coffee was and Anne and Mary proceed to have an argument about where the coffee was last-- though half the conversation is translated/muffled and interspersed with moans. Ed can't seem to look away.

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.

I had no idea the creator of VeggieTales was a chill guy. Most people I know of who make explicitly Christian media tend to be crazies.

Also, this series of tweets really highlights just how wild the Book of Revelation is. There's a reason Aphrodite's Child's 666 turned out the way it did.

The inn stood at the center of town, three stories tall and Stede was let in the back and lead up a center of narrow creaking stairs and unenthusiastic walls. The room he was lead into was a stark contrast. It wasn’t opulent, but the furniture was well made, possibly from wood from the island. A fine set of chairs in front of an elegantly carved desk with a taller, cushioned chair behind it made of dark red wood. A fireplace where the mantel had curved and coiled ends like seashells. There were a few paintings but most of the decor seemed to be carvings of fish or turtles or the long lines of an elegant crane, one foot raised as it stared out the window.

Stede was sat in a chair in front of the desk and noticed there had been a face carved in the top center of the other. An interesting sort of face, with black lines painted all over it in curves and whorls. It’s mouth hung open and its tongue stuck out. The most striking thing was the eyes, set with iridescent abalone shells, they seemed to bring to it a kind of life. As if it was always watching. As if it could pounce any moment should Stede get any ideas. Ed would love that kind of thing, Stede thought.

Innman came in a moment later from the other door, looking tired and irritated. Stede noticed something else he should have before. The way Innman’s dark hair, threaded through with white and gray, was bound up in a heavy braid. The same way that Ed had done his own when he’d wanted to be Jeff. Maybe it was a coincidence, but Stede doubted it.

“Well then,” Innman sat heavily in the chair across the desk, two guards, man and woman, flanking him while the other remained at Stede’s back. “Have we learned not to be a complete ass? Are we going to behave ourselves now?”

Finished the next chapter in time for #WIPWednesday, just have to finish my wip for day 16 of Kinktober — have a chapter snip!

He stared out the window as the train wound its way through fields and forests, glancing every so often at his bulging satchel only to give a little shake of his head and look away. It contained the files of all the children, as well as this Edward Teach, their mysterious guardian and his host for the coming month. Stede had been tasked with reviewing each file prior to his arrival. And of course he planned on doing just that! …when he arrived at the station to meet a woman who Stede assumed worked as staff for the household, and would be driving him to the children's home after he disembarked.

It was just that, for reasons Stede could not articulate even to himself, a creeping and clammy feeling of dread seemed to awake and crawl along his arms and the back of his neck, whenever he had attempted to review the files. Category 4 was an unknown entity to him, more or less classified, restricted from the majority of staff, and thus a source of many rumors with variable relationship to the truth.

What if one of the children could breathe fire? Or slept hanging upside down and subsisted on goat's blood? What if one could shape shift, or wrinkle the fabric of time and transport Stede to a distant future, or worse, into his oppressive and loathed past?

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.

25 is The Last Pirate of Lemon Town
archiveofourown.org/works/63762052

A totally true Black Pete exploratory backstory detailing how Black Pete became the most notorious pirate that you've never heard of. Silent? But deadly.

Every happy ending has an awesome beginning. #OFMD

The overall vibe is cartoonish. There is a hanging sign reading: The Last Pirate of Lemon Town.

Below are two signs with a badly placed live action shot of Pete in the middle.

Pete Left reads: A Black Pete.
Pete right reads: Backstory exploration. (That's totally true).

A Little Restraint
Fyre

Chapter 109: All fucking Bambi-ish
Summary:

Stede had started humming and didn’t even seem to realise it.
Glancing over his shoulder, Ed squashed down a grin, watching the hammock swaying gently from side to side. Hadn’t wanted to put on any music that’d distract Stede from the blissed out, rope-drunk state he was in, so he’d gone with the orchestral soundtracks from some of Stede’s favourite pirate films for the vibe.
Turned out Stede didn’t need lyrics to sing along.

I would like to personally thank @denizb33.bsky.social for introducing me to this pic a couple of days ago. Happy #taikatuesday #taika’sgaylilhandtmtmtm

I can’t describe this other than a young(ish) Taika sitting on a piece of concrete that looks like a giant chess piece and everything is on a weird angle and he’s kind of on his side but also looks like he’s riding a pony side saddle at the same time and has the gayest lil hands of all time

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is leaning back into Stede's chest. He's nuzzling against Stede's cheek. Stede's arm is around Ed's back and his hand is dangling over his shoulder. His other arm is around Ed's. Their eyes are closed and they're both smiling.

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're both in bed. It's early enough that neither are fully awake. Ed is pressed up against Stede's back. He's worming a hand up under Stede's night shirt. Stede is bleary eyed and smiling in response.

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're sleeping. Ed is the little spoon as Stede is draped over his back. They're loosely holding each other's wrists. Stede is sleeping with his mouth open. Ed is smiling in his sleep.

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is asleep on his back. His hair is spread out on the pillow, one arm is bent so that his fingers are curled and tucked up against his face. His other arm, mostly out of view, is raised and bent behind his head and under his hair. He's wearing a shirt that's bunched up around his torso. His mouth is open slightly to suggest he's snoring. Stede is tucked into Ed's side, lying on his stomach. He's shirtless and somewhat glowing in the early morning light. He's smiling a little bit, enough to pop a dimple, probably in that space between sleep and waking. He likes morning sounds; birds, the stray beach cat that's adopted them scratching on the door, Ed's deep rumbling snores.

A million thanks to @self-induljennt.bsky.social for bringing my Romancing the Stone AU Ed to life!! If you’d like to meet him on this #TakeTwoTuesday, fic link is below. This art is inspired by Chapter 5. Spoiler alert, Stede finds him irresistible!

archiveofourown.org/works/621309...

Digital painting of Ed Teach by @self-induljennt. His outfit and pose are based on this description from my fic “Our Stone Means Romance”:

Ed ambled towards him, hips swaying ever so slightly. He was wearing white linen pants that hugged close to his hips and trailed down into wide legs that seemed to float around him. His shirt was also a soft white linen, with delicate purple embroidered roses running vertically alongside the buttons. The top three buttons were undone, displaying a beautiful hawk tattoo at the base of his throat. He had rolled up the sleeves, revealing more tattoos along his forearms. His hair was swept up into a low, messy bun, still slightly damp, and there were those beautiful loose strands again, framing his face. They made Stede’s fingers itch with the desire to touch.

Ed held his arms out wide and gave a little bow.

Just something to think about these days.

#Spider #spiders though it is not mentioned just in case.

With all of that established, how the hell does Sam hurt a deity that powerful?

Well, to start, it’s impossible. Shelob’s hide is so tough Sam could never pierce it with all his might. However, Shelob had grown old and arrogant. During the fight, Sam winds up directly underneath Shelob, and Shelob decides to crush Sam with all her strength.

Unfortunately, Sam is pointing sting straight up.

While Sam lacks the strength to hurt Shelob, Shelob herself is plenty strong. She accidentally impales herself on sting, finding herself injured for the first time in thousands of years. Which is the sort of poetry I really appreciate about Tolkien’s writing.
