Merry Rhysmas/Christmas everyone! Hope you all have a great day! 🥰😀🎄🎄🥂

Excited to have received the 2026 Gentlebeard calendar - it’s so amazing and a big thanks to everyone involved in creating it, I love being part of the OFMD fandom and there are so many talented pirates (writers, artists etc!) #GentlebeardCalendar #OurFlagMeansDeath 😀🥰🏴‍☠️

Aww what a lovely thing to do for us pirates! 😀🥰🏴‍☠️ #OurFlagMeansDeath

This is so sooo amazing - showcasing the incredible talents of the wonderful #ofmd fandom. Thanks for sharing and creating an awesome project! #OurFlagMeansDeath 😀🥰🏴‍☠️❤️

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel. Couldn’t find one for Rhys’s film Love Birds so had to go with a screenshot instead! 😀🥰

Rewatched That Christmas earlier and was reminded of what a charming film it is, plus made more exciting by Mr McNutt as expertly voiced by Rhys of course! If ever another film set In Wellington on Sea is made, I would like more MrMcNutt please! 😀🥰

As it’s #RhysRhursday I thought I’d post this gem of an advert - so good! 😀🥰🫠🫠😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IlU...

Qrt with an OFMD photo that changed your life - so difficult as there are many to choose from and I’ve loved seeing other people post theirs but this one is a contender for sure! 😀🥰🏴‍☠️

There are so many to choose from but any that feature Rhys with cats especially are lovely 😀🥰🥰🫠

Non Binary: 2 years ago! (In my mid forties) 🥰

My photo op with the awesome Karl Urban - such a great dude - these kiwis sure are so lovely! 😀🥰🫠

Irritated by MCM not having a contactless payment option for Autographs - to me not everyone used cash a lot these days and it seems silly to me not to have more than one way to buy them! ☹️

A year ago on this date, I went to the premiere of the animated film That Christmas, which a certain lovely blonde kiwi man (the legend himself, Rhys Darby!) was part of and went along to as well! It was also the debut of the now fabulous necklace - was a great event! 😀🥰🥰🫠🫠

Wishing the awesome Pirate Dad, @david-jenkins.bsky.social a very happy birthday! Hope you‘re having a wonderful day! 😀🥰🏴‍☠️

Happy 2nd anniversary to OFMD S2 premiere! This is from UK tv magazine Radio Times & the tv choices page from when it aired on the BBC in Feb 2024 (glad I found somewhere to watch it before then!) I remember watching the 1st 3 episodes & got emotional after MerStede of course 😀🥰🏴‍☠️ #OurFlagMeansDeath

Ooh what a great idea - perhaps this could be done for non US cons at some point? 😀🥰🏴‍☠️

Rhysie TL cleanse 🥰🥰🫠🫠

“Polite Menace, that’ll be my brand” 😀🥰🏴‍☠️

Received my piece of Rhys Darby merch and it’s awesome! 😀🥰

1/2 Roughly a year ago I made an exciting discovery whilst watching the Paris Paralympics. A British swimmer by the name of Rhys Darbey was very successful in a number of events & at first I thought I’d imagined hearing the name, but i had heard it correctly!

I went to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich yesterday (a very interesting place to visit too) where they currently have a pirates exhibition. OFMD has a mention which is awesome plus I spent the day in amazing company of fellow pirates - thanks for a great day everyone! Here’s some pics 😀🥰🏴‍☠️

I bought my very own cryptid home from Edinburgh, my very own Nessie 🥰🥰

It is sad that The Cryptid Factor is finishing but I have to say, 17 years is fantastic going for a Podcast and I look forward to whatever projects the boys get up to next as a gang & individually of course! #TheCryptidFactor 😀😀🥰

In light of another post I saw about an OFMD Roomba fic, I’m reposting my own work for #TakeTwoTuesday #OurFlagMeansDeath A silly story that I came up and I hope any new readers enjoy it! 😀🥰🏴‍☠️

As well as trying to get chapter 3 of my otter au finished (taken longer than anticipated due to various things but I haven’t forgotten it!), I also have a new WIP, a modern au/meet cute where Stede is a bus driver and Ed is a new passenger! 😀🥰🏴‍☠️ #OFMDFanfiction #OurFlagMeansDeath

I got this one - I know the Rhys one is Casper but not sure who Taika’s one is lol! 🤔😂

😀🥰🥰

OMG! I am kinda emotional about what I’ve just seen - so so so so amazing and thanks so much to everyone involved in this masterpiece and David Jenkins I love the #OurFlagMeansDeath fandom so much! 😀🥰🥰🏴‍☠️ #YOFT www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6Ew...

My photo op with the fabulous Pirate Dad, David Jenkins at #TheNewUniCon (and my plush Dog Stede which he’d previously taken a photo of) He is so awesome and charming! What an amazing weekend and loved every minute! 😀🥰🏴‍☠️ #TNUC

I’ve had an amazing first evening and day at The New Uni-Con - what a wonderful thing it is to see so many fantastic pirate pals and(including these incredible muppets by Fyre!) the awesome guests - so many great moments already and can’t wait for tomorrow! 😀🥰🥰🏴‍☠️

My awesome photo op with David Fane and Nathan Foad - so lovely being in the middle of a Dave and Nathan sandwich! 🥰🥰🏴‍☠️ #TNUC #TheNewUniCon

😀🥰🏴‍☠️

1/2 Well, how to I sum up the fabulousness of Rhys Darby’s show in Brighton last night! A brief tech issue occurred part way through which was unfortunate yet it provided much hilarity and amazing improv! And a bonus where he was briefly shirtless!

I had a fantastic evening at Rhys’s show in London - met some lovely fellow pirates and got a really cute kraken from Ida (I hope that was your name, thank you so much 🥰) 🥰🥰🏴‍☠️

1st time I’ve posted for this, but my #TakeTwoTuesday is my Roomba fic,Roomba for Everyone. I was inspired by someone on the bird app mentioning one & lo & behold, Rhys incorporates a Roomba into his latest stand up show! 😀🥰🏴‍☠️ (it does have an A03 users thing on it) archiveofourown.org/works/54671068

I had an amazing time at Rhys’s show in London - was so so funny and lovely to see lots of pirate pals and meet some wonderful new ones. Plus I got to meet MerStede thanks Moosh! 😀🥰🥰🏴‍☠️

Ooh I do love a leaflet! 😀🥰

In quite a few ways - as well as finding a fantastic show, I have also found a lot of new and really lovely people who share my love of OFMD and they both mean a lot to me. Also it made me realise my identity as NB & proud to be part of such a special fandom #OFMD #OurFlagMeansDeath 😀🥰🏴‍☠️

😀🥰🥰🫠🫠

Seeing as it’s the Eurovision final tonight, I’m doing a throwback to when I wrote my fic from 2023 when the UK hosted in Liverpool on behalf of Ukraine. It’s called Heroes & does have an A03 users only thing on it! 😀🥰 archiveofourown.org/works/48711322

My plastic sword I bought for my S2 Stede cosplay - which as well as being awesome, amazingly turned out to be the same one that Rhys used in his sword training! (Not sure where his one came from but mine was from Etsy!) 😀🥰🏴‍☠️

There have been many but meeting the cast of one of the best shows ever, OFMD, at several conventions has been so special & all the pirate pals I’ve met. Also, Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan in Walking Dead amongst other things)is one of the loveliest celebs I’ve met - such a cool dude! 😀🥰🏴‍☠️

Jumpscared in a fab way by UK quiz Richard Osman’s House of Games earlier by this (which I knew - it was what year did this happen!) 😀🏴‍☠️ (but we know he & Stede went on to run an inn!) 😀😀

Just like to say I support trans people always and I send love and hugs to you all 😀🥰

I loved Behind Our Flag, the virtual convention Siren Events held last weekend. Their next event in June, is the in person New Uni-Con & I am really looking forward to this convention too, it’s going to be so cool! #OurFlagMeansDeath #NewUniCon Booking info below 😀🥰🏴‍☠️

Ooh this is going to be so awesome! 😀🥰🏴‍☠️

Totally agree, some awesome events to be excited about! 😀🥰🏴‍☠️
