They’re truly all so excellent and there are SO MANY!!! So many that there were some I didn’t even remember seeing on the auction site (just from sheer volume of art to take in!!) like all of these incredible ones:

Photo of two postcards. Top: a beach scene with three cottages against a beautiful pink setting sun, Ed and Stede are sitting on the beach at the land’s end. Text on the card says GREETINGS FROM JEFF’S INN BY THE SEA

Bottom: a card all in green of Ed in an old timey diving helmet and suit and Stede as a keepers on, they are holding hands underwater while bubbles, some in the shape of hearts, float around them

Photo of two postcards. Top: Ed and Stede as an astronaut and alien on a colorful rainbow planet with rainbow rings, they are holding hands and walking on the ring of the planet together. The revenge is in the background in a sea of stars and text says THE GENTLEMAN ASTRONAUT in script.

Bottom: a night scene of a tent next to a campfire by a lake with mountains surrounding it

Photo of two postcards. Top: Ed and Stede as a mermaid on a beach. Ed has brought Stede books to read and it says WITH LOVE in a banner at the top of the card.

Bottom: a night time seaside scene of a little cabin in beachside woods, the moonlight peeking through clouds. Text on the card says SEA YOU

I don't think I've ever seen a server of this size so united. The people demand the yes blob. None of the other yes emojis hit the same.

Mod: what if I give you this cute little animal holding a YES sign?

Entire server: JUSTICE 4 YES BLOB

Watching a large server devolve into multi-channel chaos bc a mod with a grudge against the blob emojis thought they could remove the "yes blob" without anyone noticing has very much been the highlight of my day.

Drop something SKELETAL

'fraid this is it
#OFMDfanart #OFMD

"I hate this f@$#ing place."

Postcard art with an illustration of in season 1 Izzy Hands, reluctantly standing next to the "Behave Yerself" skeleton that sits outside Spanish Jackie's. Izzy's arms are crossed in front of him and he's wearing a particularly sour scowl. The background colors are "Ye Olde 1980's" sunset rendered in hot pinks and neon oranges.

A hand drawn scroll banner at the top reads "wish I wasn't here" in traditional tattoo style lettering. Below this in big, bold, dynamic lettering is "Spanish Jackie'z, Republic of Pirates". There is an acid green Nose Jar leaning against the bar name and the apostrophe in "Jackie'z" is an escaped nose, dyed green from the jar juice.

I swear I'm not being paid to advertise, I just really love this collection and also love saving money.

This shop is offering 50% off with the code DRINKS from Oct. 10 - 14, which makes this collection a steal. 💅

Wren @redwsailing.bsky.social · 2d

I just swatched all of these and they are AMAAAAZING

I emailed the shop about whether they’d ever bring back the original OFMD collection and they said “I don’t have plans to bring the original collection back, but it’s always possible”

So maybe if everyone buys the s2 collection they’ll do it

For my nail polish loving friends who were interested in LynB Designs' OFMD Collection, I am happy to inform you they're currently running a 50% sale with the promo code CANDY. Whole collection is linked here but also available individually and a great deal.

Daphne slept hard tho.

A tiny dog lounging on an unmade bed. Both ears are flipped back, making it look like she has an exceptional case of bed head. A tiny blep of tongue is sticking out. It is very much a Monday mood.

A line drawing of Stede from ofmd cradling a cat in his left arm. The cat is based on Ed Teach. Ed is curled up, slightly leaning into Stede's chest. He's extremely happy and cosy. Stede is scratching Ed's head and smiling.

They usually keep collections around for a while, so hopefully one day you’ll have a little extra money and can treat yourself! 💖
