Happy 3rd anniversary to the Seaglass fellas 🥰 For #TakeTwoTuesday here's their first anniversary smoochfest: archiveofourown.org/works/52774180 🐙🩵🦈

Who wouldn't want to lick, top and love this guy?!

this will keep going until i run out of gift codes, so i decided to lower the requirements: only 500+ are required now just send me a dm and i'll send you the redeem link!

Happy 2026 – what’s new so far? Happy new year and I hope that 2026 is treating all you good folks kindly so far. In case you missed it when it aired live, you can now watch me talk about my story ‘Chester’ (with a bit of local folklore) on the Ruadán Books ‘Spring in the City’ Second Launch…

Writing oodles of fanfic about Our Flag Means Death, crocheting plushies (usually related to the same show), knitting, dungeons and dragons, and playing fun dungeoneering and adventure games!

Love it when the factor fees go up by over 33% per month AND they send a whole extra one because oops, they should have done it 3 months ago. Yeah because we can all really afford that right after Christmas 🙃

thinkin about ed playing the piano for stede. more of that please. tbh i'm always surprised this doesn't come up more. ed learning all stede's favorite showtunes. ed playing gnossiene 5 at their wedding. stede learning to tell ed's mood through the music. ed singing with the kids. and etc.

More Stede is always the answer 🥰 I used my favourite Stede photo for some digital painting practice over the holidays, I love his happy face!

This. NSFW is OPT-IN. You don’t get it by chance.

My OCD has been going absolutely haywire for the last month, worst flare up I've had in years and years, and the annoying thing is that it's over something that is actually a safety thing and the thing has actually happened to people I know and friends and aaahhhhhh fuck thissssss

While we're talking about the cold: one of my best pov survival tips is sweatbands on your wrists! Apparently it doesn't have much effect for some people so ymmv, but it's noticably cosy for me, especially layered with fingerless gloves. Wool wristbands are even better if you're a knitter 💖

Gentlebeard made it onto this one! #OFMD Found the post: www.reddit.com/r/AO3/commen...

2025's fanfic wrap up:

*2026

in case you missed it, elon musk's ai grok is taking images of children and digitally making them naked - and musk: a) does not care b) is treating it like a giant joke: www.webworm.co/grok/

OFMD season 3: callback scene to s2 ep 1 ("fuck you, Stede Bonnet" / "Goodnight, Ed Teach") - Stede & Ed's matelotage scene. "I love you, Stede Bonnet." "I love you too, Ed Teach." & then they kiss all soft & melty w/ tongue & everyone cheers & fireworks & a full moon ✨🕯️✨manifesting✨🕯️✨ ✨🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️✨

"Fanfiction allows people to explore identity, sexuality, trauma and love through characters they already trust. For many queer readers and writers, it was the first place they saw themselves represented."

thinking about how it was just rhys, taika, & djenks filming while they still had a bit of daylight, w/ taika working the camera & djenks directing. literal pure fucking magic. i'll never ever get over it

😻 IZZY HE’S AMAZING 😻

half the shit on ofmd happens because of sheer fucking Hopecore. and gaydar ofc

I knew it was a good idea to carry this thing in my wallet #ofmd

thinking about olu and stede… how olu is the first to say he likes stede’s storytime, asks him point blank if he wants to live, saves his strange cringefail captain’s ass twice in back to back eps 1 AND 2, even tells him he’s got nice hair after ed leaves with cj… he’s just a real one yknow

Artist and support sign-ups for the 2026 #OFMDReverseBang are now open! Visit the official website to learn more about the Reverse Bang and sign up to be an artist or to support our artists and writers:

It's Garlic Soup Sunday!! Today the polycule are having a Nailed It! style baking competition. Archie insisted they do dick cakes. Olu's is very artistic and slightly abstract, Jim's is Too Detailed and a little structurally unsound, Zheng's is the tastiest by far, and Archie's has a smiley face.

Excited for Rare Ship Events 2026? We are, too!! We've got FOUR amazing events planned for you this year: Disastercule Weekend (co-hosted with @littlefingies.bsky.social and @halfeatenmoon.bsky.social), Rare Ships Week, Spanish Jackie Weekend, and Wee John Weekend! #OFMDRareShips

I'm always curious how they make this, because even just Stede/Ed has over 2500k fics for 2025 on a search. Though a big portion are archive locked after the AI scrape, and it looks like OFMD locked down more than most, maybe that's affected it? (gen tone)

DAY 4! Quote skeet with new works, reply with recs! #ofmdjanuaury

stede, holding up the yowling damp feral cat that was clawing at a man's face 5 minutes ago: this is my baby <3 his name is lady

Ope. It's a 'this hair has to go' sort of moment. Suddenly IMMEDIATELY overstimulated by it but I won't be able to get the clippers out until kiddo is in bed 😫

I have a long fic I wanna write this year, specifically a setting and some events that would happen in it, but even when I try to brainstorm and use (super helpful!) advice from a great panel on longfic writing, I'm struggling so much with joining it into a plot! It is frustrating 😅

After having this sent to me by friends all over the world, and also seeing it being discussed in this fandom as an AU, it is absolutely hilarious (and honestly not shocking) to discover that I know a significant amount of people involved in this 😂 Gutted I couldn't make it, damn covid

They’re a set #ofmd #ofmdfanart 🐱🐶

The best part of it being really chilly outside? Cold tap water :D

Welp, the TV remote just gave up the ghost, so a whole day enforced TV break for kiddo 😂 He's already having a blast with his toys - though of course bad timing, he finished all his unmade Lego sets from Christmas yesterday!

I could never pick just one, but this is definitely near the top of the list. So many people I know who watched casually didn’t know this scene was practical effects rather than CGI. The fact that they ACTED while underwater is so beautiful 😍

pure magic

This is probably still my favourite moment. They're falling in love. They're becoming best friends. They're passing the time so well.

Keep creating, keep being positive and do what’s best for you! Protect your best interests. Don’t let anyone tear you down 🫶

Heads up that Mira reactivated her original account to go full DARVO. And in case she had another sockpuppet: PISS OFF YOU NARCISSISTIC BITCH

When you see the most textbook case of DARVO in plain text. Sure, Jan. That's the final confirmation that the account was in fact who it said (she's reactivated the old one to try and defend herself and downplay her bullshit). I know most of us have her blocked, so just making folks aware.

Don't want to fan any drama flames, but not sharing would feel even more foul:

Spouse told me to check out a new game that's on sale for cheap in the Steam sale and I got about 5 minutes in and felt my eyes do that thing that cats do where they get all big and round and lol there goes any chance of productivity for the next few weeks 😂

There are people in this world who do awful things habitually, because if they think they can get away with it, they literally don’t see any reason why they shouldn’t. They believe themselves to be smarter than everyone else, so no one could possibly see through their bullshit;

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

Kiddo likes to listen to Ghibli soundtracks while we sit at the table and build Lego and honestly it's so nice Totoro if we're feeling chill, Kiki if we are feeling a bit dancey, and Ponyo if we want some fun dramatic play!
