I love drawing the little quiet moments the most. I like flirty eyes and crinkly smiles around harmonized giggling and sweet-nothing whispers lost on a good breeze. Just want to draw them alive for as long as I am. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

What's it like in your head?

Serious answer: all three of the things that he lives for are the bare bones scraps of physical manifestations of intimacy and love. But he can't name intimacy and love because he doesn't deserve those things, offered those things and had them rejected.

me in the winter, crawling out from under my weighted blanket every morning

When I look at @hideplueshi.bsky.social 's art I DO believe in magic ❤️❤️

My morality system is probably derived 40% from growing up watching Star Trek, 40% from reading Terry Pratchett books, and 20% remnants of my evangelical childhood. All of these require feeding the poor.

Every time I take a bath I wonder why I don't do this more. Just sweating out this fever and sinus headache with some fancy eucalyptus smelling water and catching up on podcasts.

Still flat on the sofa with wee con crud but also still buzzing with how incredible it was. Had the best week with the best people (and also missed some of the people I was hoping to see too so I guess we'll have to do it again sometime 😂)

now why would i accomplish a four minute task now when i can agonize over it for the next six months

Hahaha (Yup)

Guess I’m just posting one drawing a day until I’m up to date lol (it will be quick 😂😭) This is one of my very first drawing of this fandom !! I actually had to change his back tattoo when S2 came out 😆

The saddest, fiercest queen 💔 CH12 of "Tales from the past" is up, in which Izzy has his drag debut - things do not go quite as planned, though. archiveofourown.org/works/701209... #ofmd #ofmdart #ofmdfanfic #IzzyHands

The unexpected bounty I got last night absolutely definitely did not get me bawling a bit #theweecon

Look ma, I made a convention :) #theweecon

All of the Halloween crew bookmarks I managed to draw so far (great idea to start this last minute w only basic drawing supplies bc I'm not at home 😅) If you want one, say hi at Wee Con <3 #ofmd #ofmdart

Look at them they're so perfect

Just finished the ties that bind by girlwithabook and it's such a delicate lovely steddyhands story of healing and care archiveofourown.org/works/680845...

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak". But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

Jim took in a quick breath. This was it, the moment that they and Archie and the other Merry People have been waiting for. Their biggest mark yet, a noble’s home. All Jim had to do was climb up this balcony and get inside, and all her coin would be theirs. Some movement came from the curtain. 1/

This is incredible (art and fic go read Starman)

Yessss this is it. There's a lot of unprocessed shit going on, but it's that gradually getting to know someone and fall for them and trying to figure out who they each are in themselves as well.

I made a handy flow chart for confused men…

I needed this reminder today that sometimes love is soft and gentle and kind and wants nothing more than the lightest of contact, and this piece always does that for me.

I won’t lie - this has not quite yielded the financial return that I was promised (I suspect that Prince Azi fellow may not have been on the level), but it sure does bring me joy every time I see it on my fridge. 🥰 #OFMDCraftFair

Stede and Izzy in Season 2

This is an absolute delight of a thing

#inktoberragged #gentlebeard

Stede and Ed having sex in s2 is SO Chekhov’s gun. The gun is first introduced into the narrative when Ed jokes about living for intercourse/orgasms. It practically loads itself when Anne Bonney asks if Gentlebeard has had sex yet. (1/2)

Some distractions are welcome 🤭 (Credit to @royaleminit.bsky.social for the caption 😌) #rizzy #izzyhands #roachofmd #ofmdroach

Sometimes you're struggling to write all the things you're supposed to, and then have to you call your insurance company, and you get the least hinged hold situation, and it demands to be written immediately. Lots in common with Yours in Every Way, but not epistolary and a different vibe! 🔗👇

Hark, heare the wynde blowe! Wacche the sun ryse! Runninge yn the shadowes: Curse thy love, curse thy lies. And yf thou dost not love me now Thou wilt nevir love me agayne - Ich kan yet heare thee sayinge: Thou wouldst nevir breake the chayne #FleetwoodMac #OFMD

The thing about Ed is he fancies a fine fabric AND loves a good maim. He is Blackbeard and The Kraken and Just Ed who writes bad lyrics and builds blanket forts when he's sad.

Every month I be all "this is the month I don't spend on shit I wasn't planning on and it's gonna be a saving month" and yet every month something crops up or I impulse purchase. When will I learn.

Okay who do I know who is going to wee con? Who do I need to look out for?

Giving "coming over here" a whole new meaning

FYI this is 99p on Kindle in the UK right now

It is AUTUMN the leaves are falling the cat's tucked herself into the winter duvet

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end. In the meantime: • Figure out a small way to help someone • Figure out a small way to fight back • Figure out a small place to find joy • Figure out a small way to grow and thrive And do it often.

Beautiful

best i could (i think i’m incapable) best i could (it came out all wrong) best i could (never speaking it aloud) best i could (pirates don’t have friends) best i could (you didn’t make it easy) best i could (as your captain) best i could (i tried) best i could (can a monster love?)

Nothing says horror more than calcified boobs

(Now hoping this isn't A Hot Take or something because I don't want to be perceived or to start drama or anything. This is just a personal bug of mine, that I next to never see myself represented in media because everything is either fluffy teens, hot sex machines, or dinner party dads.) 4/4

mentally, I am still here. #scd #strictly

Love it when I get a surprise like that.

"Your highness." The new knight's eyes burned with passion as they lifted Prince Oluwande's hand. Soft lips pressing to his skin - tender, intimate, full of desire. The Prince barely held in a gasp. His hand had been kissed a hundred times before, but never like this... #TealOranges #OFMDart
