have been working on a sequel to Slippery When Wet and there are TWO chapters now, here's a link to the whole thing for those who may be interested. Title is Ed and Stede Hide a Body. You'll never guess what happens in it 😇 archiveofourown.org/works/754791...

This was, by far, the worst year of my life. Personally (family imploded), professionally (acquisition hell), and financially (multiple $$$ repairs). But I'm still here, and standing, and handling it SO much better than I would have even a year ago. Thank you friends, and thank you therapy. 💕

I mean. My (and my team’s!) two fundraisers ( #ofmdcraftfair and #ywmlp) will always be what 2025 was about for me. $110k for trans kids, $32k for immigrant kids, hundreds of artists and crafters, thousand of bidders, donors, volunteers—we made a fucking DIFFERENCE and beat back the horrors.

this is also a service announcement about the "otp: true" search function, meaning the ship will be the ONLY relationship tag 🤸

I'm HOOOOOOOOME and it feels so good, still have more than a week to just fuck around and sleep in and tell Daphne how adorable she is.

(No) Contact (T) by @xoxoemynn.bsky.social is about mourning the family you wish you had, and appreciating the family you found. archiveofourown.org/works/76232496

Have to say, it felt nice to have a Christmas that was just Normal Yikes (some questionable political talk, way too much AI hype) than weeks of existential dread and walking on eggshells.

Daphne wishes all who celebrate a merry little Christmas.

I don’t know if the best things happen while you’re dancing or if they just happen with this fandom 😁 Either way, here’s some special artwork I made for today! Celebrate this 24th day of December by checking out the 2025 Advint Calindah! Here: ourflagmeans.gay/projects/cal...

I've been really blown away by the response to this fic. Reading the comments had me tearing up, both at people's kindness, and also all those who could relate. Wrapping you all up in a soft, warm blanket and holding you close this holiday season. I'm proud of you. 💕🫂

Because what is the point of having blorbos if not to work through your own complex feelings about going no contact with a relative you hate? A little under 5K, detailed CW in the a/n, much love to all those who are struggling this time of year. 💕 archiveofourown.org/works/76232496 #ofmdfic

In this coming year of 2026, let's all find joy in the things that we love. Let's read what we love, watch what we love, write or draw what we love. Maybe your joy isn't the same as someone else's but that's okay. We only have this one life, so live it grandly and follow your heart.

My little contribution for day 20 of @roximonoxide.bsky.social 's amazing Advint Calindah 🎅🎁🎄 Go check the project out on ourflagmeans.gay/2025/ and happy holidays! #ofmd #ofmdfanart #gentlebeard #advintcalindah #ourflagmeansdeath

All is WET indeed 👅🍩💦 Have to bring back the good ol’ rimming reliable, Glazed Buns! #OFMDFic #OFMDHolestice archiveofourown.org/works/61003531

currently working on some smut i can't post yet (😈) so here are a couple of my more hole-centric smut fics 😌 #ofmdholestice #ofmdfic Five star review: archiveofourown.org/works/49807999 Come for a ride: archiveofourown.org/works/59797411

okay I've received sufficient validation so I think I'll be posting. And my tradition of only writing holiday fics that focus on struggling during the holidays continues!

I've talked to multiple authors, both on and off the podcast, who have said stuff akin to "I didn't want to add in an explicit scene but I felt pressure to do so" sometimes that pressure was readers, sometimes knowing kudos would be lower if they didn't include an E rated scene. 1/

I've seen Miracle on 34th Street about a hundred times so it feels very normal to me, but having just explained the plot to someone who's never seen it, it really is a WILD story where you can never predict what'll happen next.

I actually finished writing something, please clap.

Hey, you there in the ofmd fandom, yes you. I love you. Ok carry on.

Two. More. Workdays.

Got four Christmas cards in the mail today and each one made me cry for a different reason. Tis the season 🙃

would you let him stay? 🥺 chapter 3 of Closest to Heaven is here, happy wednesday 💖 the full art piece of sad wet Ed by @deanbird.bsky.social is in there as well 🥺💕 archiveofourown.org/works/74820801/chapters/198110501

now complete: YOU OTTER KNOW, my second @fandomtrumpshate.bsky.social fic! 22k, rated E, a story about change and loss and growth and how sometimes your selkie skin gets stuck on your butthole archiveofourown.org/works/745542... a gift for the lovely @scholiast.bsky.social !!

I've donated to Transanta the past few years -- they do incredible work. I recommend following them on IG if you're on there! And as someone who has one of these prints, it is even more gorgeous in person! Please donate if you're able, help trans kids and maybe get some v cool birbs.

Remember, Mr. Rogers' original comment was intended for CHILDREN. Children need comfort, and their power is obviously very limited. We're adults. We do need comfort, but we also need to take action. And what you'll find is the more you do, the better you'll feel. Look for the helpers and join them.

Today I got to talk to the wonderful @unpopularculture.bsky.social about fics and her event, Film Fortnight! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/0...

always astounds me that in a world that is already often so cruel, some people actively choose to add even more cruelty to the mix. who are quick to assume the worst in others. who choose to lash out with such ugly vitriol at people they've deemed the villain.

Once again tapping my own sign for my own personal benefit as well as anyone else who needs to hear it: It is not my responsibility to manage the conspiracy theories other people build up in their heads about me.

Three types of people during first snow of the season, as evidenced by me and my next door neighbors just now: Neighbor to left: Full grown man shoveling a path. He is wearing neon orange basketball shorts. The cold fears him.

This piece I did went crazy on Tumblr so I'm sharing it here. It's a pic of Blackbeard from Our Flag Means Death!

Y'ALL CHECK THIS SHIT OUT, Lurid Lacquer has a Fuck Fascism with a portion of sales going to some kickass charities. And the polishes are GORGEOUS 😍

my fave nail polish brand doing a shop launch with a new "fuck fascism" charity collection + extremely limited restocks + free prototype for the first 500 orders is I think the closest I'll ever get to understanding the thrill of sportsball. my heart is RACING but I got alllll my pretties. 💅

Thinking about how much fun I had writing this fic and wow I want to get back to that. (Also again must be said Lindie did a phenomenal job on the podfic)

2025 has been a really fucking awful year but at least it gave me the gift of finally finding out why my brother hates me, and that it’s literally just bc I was born and he’s mad he’s not the baby anymore. Almost 40 years later and he still hasn’t gotten over that.

Why must money.

idk if there's anyone on here who shares my passion for indie nail polish, but just in case, I thought I'd shout out something really neat one of my favorite brands, Cracked Polish, is doing this December.

Feeling very bummed that work keeps interfering with my true passions in life (yapping with friends, watching my shows, painting my nails, and thinking about writing)

ten more work days, then two weeks of vacation and this year I don't have to worry about my brother blowing everything up on Christmas. 2025 you can get WRECKED.

IT'S TIIIIME Who's ready for #OFMDJanAU??? This'll be our FOURTH JANAU?? #ofmdfic Same rules as always: post on or after the day, quote skeet the daily post with new stuff, reply to the daily post with recs!! PROMPTS BELOW:

Behold. #OurFlagMeansDeath #ofmd

online friendship is crazy. like yeah we go way back. we talk about weird shit exclusively and we've seen each other in person between zero and four times

sometimes I do wish we were all just an elaborate software so I could just *click, delete* my brother's file.

you know when you're writing something to process your emotions when you're in the thick of depression and everything *flows* bc it's all so raw, and then the depression lifts which, great! except then you return to the fic and it's just like "word. word... wordword? .....word. meh. word."

HEY USA FRIENDS it’s holiday season at the post office so here’s my annual thread on how to make all of your postal workers have a nicer month! 1. Be nice and prepared if you’re mailing things! You might have to wait! Still be polite and click the smiley face on the stupid little screen!

IT'S HERE! the first chapter (out of 9) of Closest to Heaven, the thing that's been sitting in my wips for 1.5 years - i am SO excited to finally share it, and the lovely @deanbird.bsky.social is joining me with art!! posting wednesdays 💖 archiveofourown.org/works/74820801 #IdasOFMDfic #ofmdfic

Quick pencil sketch when I should definitely be asleep. Romantic Stede off the charts
