THIS IS (officially, now) HAPPENING! I know the last week of September isn't all that far away, but I didn’t want to overlap with kinktober, and the idea is that this is a super chill event, no great effort required, so doodle and drabble to your heart’s content! And feel free to ask any questions 💖

OFMD TV AU Week

September 22nd-28th

Let’s pirate some TV shows!

Day One – Sci-fi

Day Two – Reality/Game Show

Day Three – Sitcom

Day Four – Historical

Day Five – Supernatural/Fantasy

Day Six – Drama

Day Seven – Animated

For each prompt, just pick a show you love in that genre, and drop some OFMD characters in there, e.g. for sci-fi you could draw the crew in Starfleet uniforms, or write about them taking a trip in the TARDIS – whatever floats your (safe) spaceship!

All types of fanwork are welcome (art, fic, graphics, interpretive dance, etc.) as are any TV shows in that genre – go as niche as you like.

Use the hashtag #OFMDTVAU and go ahead and put those guys into other people's situations!

#WIPWednesday #ofmdnsfw

Digital art of a naked ass in a jockstrap, seen from behind sitting on a motorcycle. You can see a bit of Ed’s snake tattoo on his arm. His right leg is propped up and he is wearing a leather vest and a studded belt.

Look at her! 👁️ 👄 👁️
I commissioned the incomparable @sailorsruin92.bsky.social to draw me some ‘bodice ripper’ style artwork that I could use as a cover to bind my fic ‘Crossing Swords with the Pirate Captain’. She is beauty. She is grace.

Digital fanart of ed and stede in their iconic season 1 outfits - steal in the teal suit and ed in his leather jacket. They are looking at each other with too much love for me to handle.

Big stretch!

A digital drawing of Stede Bonnet from Our Flag Means Death sitting cross legged, pulling one arm over his head to stretch it. He’s shirtless, wearing his black cravat, and the purple breeches and stockings that he wore while practicing sword fighting with Ed. There is a pink background.

Tried to do one of those color wheel things for my OFMD art. What I'm seeing is I need more purple and yellow in my art 👀 Also I love being able to see where my digital art has improved after drawing these fools over and over again during the last several years.
