My #OFMDBB2025 is up! Rated M, 25k. Gentlebeard, but main focus is Stede and Izzy. After Ed ends up in the hospital at Christmas, Stede and Izzy embark on a fraught road trip to get to him. Art by: @lostinthebabylon.bsky.social & @bakerbelle.bsky.social 🔗 archiveofourown.org/works/749055...

Where did November go?

My #OFMDBB25 fic is here! This might be the most personal fic I’ve ever written. With beautiful art by @bakerbelle.bsky.social and @rocketlollyart.bsky.social. Big thanks to @fablizpoppe.bsky.social for being a lovely beta reader. Description + tags are below. 🐋💙 archiveofourown.org/works/747078...

Hey hey 👀 Are you in the mood for something festive? Because we have something coming up for you that I guarantee you'll love... Stay tuned for our #OFMDBB25 later this month, with words from @mooshy.bsky.social and art from me and @bakerbelle.bsky.social 💕🎄🎅 #WIPWednesday

Does anyone else follow indiarosecrawford on insta? Her Frog and Toad videos are how I imagine Ed and Stede in their retirement era. www.instagram.com/reel/DRM0FVu...

Late entry for #WIPWednesday. After the Fall, my entry for #OFMDBB25, arrives on November 24th. Featuring art by @bakerbelle.bsky.social and @rocketlollyart.bsky.social. 🐋💙

Slept 9 hours last night but it still wasn't enough.

Alright, guys. Hate to do this but between the background check taking forever and unemployment not kicking in yet, I need a bit of help covering rent. Ko-Fi is linked here and I also do commissions! Any kind of help is appreciated even if it's just a reblog. ko-fi.com/tresdem/goal...

I need to take on some extra work. If you want a Gentlebeard illustration, or have D&D characters that need faces please send me a dm, or a message on my ko-fi. I really need some jingle in my coin purse. Thank you, loves. 🧡🧡🧡 #OurFlagMeansDeath #ofmd #dnd

Honestly, it may be a good thing that AO3 will be down for 20 (human) hours on Friday. I need to stop reading so much and focus on art stuff!

Did I buy a rosy maple moth stuffed animal in a gift shop for my birthday today? Yes. Yes, I did. Will I also be cuddling it in bed tonight? Probably.

I remember reading this fic two years ago. I was on vacation, reading it on the porch in a cabin in the mountains. It's now two years later. I am on vacation again. At the exact same cabin in the mountains. Anyway, it's a great fic. You should definitely give it a read or listen (or both)!

First time doing a #WIPWednesday. I've been slowly working on this for over two months now and hoping it will see the light of day soon! I'm sending the crew into Yellowstone in 1870 (before it was a National Park). What could possibly go wrong?

It's my birthday month and I'm starting it off with a damn cold. 😠

That's a wrap on the #OFMDReverseBang for 2025! We have an incredible collection for you to explore featuring the art and fic our collaborators created this year. Check it out here: archiveofourown.org/collections/...

Looks like I won't be posting the first chapter of my AU-gust fic for the 1800s prompt this weekend, but I'll eventually get it out there. 🤞 I'm trying to be (mostly) historically accurate while also keeping it fun and interesting. Not quite sure I'm there yet, so aiming for mid-September.

Please fill out the application on this link: docs.google.com/forms/d/1d-v... More info can be found on our Bluesky account: bsky.app/profile/youd... You can also contact us via e-mail: [email protected] #OFMD #OFMDart #OFMDfanart #youdrewmealovelyframe

The podfic of Ten Hearts by @bakerbelle.bsky.social written for #ofmdAUgust day 16 "Rivals" prompt. Ed and Stede enjoy playing co-op Stardew Valley in their spare time. Ed gets jealous of the NPCs, seeing them as rivals for Stede’s affection. Meanwhile, Stede has been working hard on a gift for Ed.

Stede and Ed play Stardew Valley together. Ed gets jealous of the NPCs when Stede gives them gifts. Been sitting on this one since January. archiveofourown.org/works/69319351

I have so many RBB stories I want to catch up on, but I also want to write AU-gust fics. Where does all the time go? 😭

Every so often, I sift through the notes on my phone. An idea for a Gentlebeard fic if anyone wants to run with it:

Yay! This one is mine!

The last chapter of my RBB is up, in case anyone has been waiting for it! Art by @alexaxby.bsky.social. Check it out! archiveofourown.org/works/670569...

Realized last night that when I post Chapter 5 of my RBB tomorrow morning, I will surpass 100k words published on AO3. I know that's not a lot for most people, but for me it is.

My boyfriend doesn't even question it anymore. *sigh* I checked out 6 books.

Was listening to a history podcast today and, of course, got another fic idea. Guess I'll throw that one onto the pile with all the others!

We're three chapters in now! Next chapter will go up on Saturday and the final chapter on Tuesday.

The first chapter of my RBB collab with @alexaxby.bsky.social is up on AO3. I had a lot of fun writing it and I'm excited to share it with you all! #OFMDReverseBang #OFMDFic archiveofourown.org/works/67056928

Look. Sometimes I just want to look at a menu for a fast food place without having to put in my zip code and pretend I'm actually going to order food. Can we go back to just having a menu on the website please?

I've written more in the past seven days than I have in the last seven months combined. I guess I just needed some RBB energy to get me back into it. Maybe I can finally get that AU-pril fic from last year finished. 😂

Please please please post your fics if they got plagiarized, I want to read the og's

Anyway, spending my awake times scrolling through all the cool stuff here: www.32auctions.com/organization... (Yes, I did invest in half a pyramid yesterday, but if anyone asks, that's just the fever talking.)

I love how I always think, "If I just had a couple of days off work, I could get so much reading done!" Well, now I'm off work because I'm sick and have spent most of my time sleeping. And when I try to read, I can't concentrate. This is not what I meant when I said I wanted days off!

Ok, but why is every frame of the #YouWearFineFramesWell project so beautiful? 🥹

This was such a fun project! Loved being involved in this and seeing it all come together. I painted frame 248! #YouWearFineFramesWell

Ahoy OFMD crew! 🏴‍☠️✨ Just a quick note that #YouWearFineFramesWell is set to release on the 14th unless things go entirely wrong! All the artists have been so hard at work and all the frames look so so good. We can't wait to share this with you! 💕

Rumplestiltskin's laugh in Once Upon a Time was... a choice.

Me on January 1, 2024: "No, I really don't need to eat my traditional New Year's Day meal. I think I'm good this year." Cut to my favorite show getting canceled, my dog dying, the election, etc. I ate my traditional New Year's Day meal yesterday.

Well, that sounds nice!

Other than the fic stuff though, 2024 was pretty shit.

Time for my #ofmdfanfic wrapup for the year. This was my first year writing in the fandom (not counting the 50k Season 3 fic I wrote for NaNo last year that will possibly never see the light of day), and I published 4 fics for a grand total of 70k words. Not bad!

Someone has been setting off fireworks on my street for the past 2 hours. It is after midnight. Please...

Off work until January! Now maybe I will have the energy to work on some writing and drawing.

Just trying to dry my hair this morning and thought of two new Gentlebeard AUs. 🙃

I think, at this point, I need to accept that my AUpril fic from this year may not be complete until April of next year. 😬

So many great stories in this collection!

I just want more our flag means death

Look, I don't know who added the "succulent Chinese meal" line into #WWDITS, but they are now my favorite person and my new best friend, so I hope they're okay with that. Honestly, I wouldn't mind Matt Berry recreating that whole video.
