I'm going to this! I don't know anybody so if you're thinking of going and worried you'll be the odd one out, we can be odd together!

It's finished. After 3+ years and over 200,000 words, my Steddyhands series "The Depths" is complete. The final chapter and epilogue of "The Great Below" went up just now, so if you've been waiting for it to be complete to start reading, have at it! archiveofourown.org/works/529418...

not all gay shows are the same and gay is not a genre

Steddyhands peeps who like dark fics - I implore you to check out this fic by JustDanny! It's beautifully written and dripping with that good-good angst, and the fact that it only has 25 kudos as of this writing feels like a cosmic mistake. Help me fix that, yeah? (And maybe drop some comments too!)

Scrrrruffyyyyy

THANK you I feel like I'm the only centrist on this issue in the entire fandom, it would be great if more of us felt wanted to start speaking up.

This for me but with a side of Anne Bonney for femme days.

"Sexy pitbull rottweiler mix"... well it's got options.

Chapter 22 is up! Want to know what Stede and Izzy have been up to?

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand - Tripe (tried it once, no thank you) - Encanto (come at me Disney kids I fucking dare you) - Shake It Off

Having written an angsty, gun-related Blackhands fic way back when Season 1 ended, I cannot stress enough how I thought I was hallucinating this scene the first time I watched it.

What the hell, I can still clown with the best of them. #SaveOFMD #RenewOFMD #OFMD #ForRhysie #OurFlagMeansDeath

Chapter 20 of the Great Below is up! We are deep-diving in the Gravy Basket so come on over if you want to see Ed grapple with his parent issues! archiveofourown.org/works/529418...

Every seagull we see in Season 3 is Buttons and I can prove it.

It took forever for me to finish Chapter 17 of The Great Below, which means I've been sitting on this lovely image by @emmalinestrange.bsky.social, just waiting for the chance to use it. Anyway, come and read this chapter! Stuff happens! archiveofourown.org/works/529418...

I’m going to be controversial for a second. Ed in season 1 episode 10 with his earring and his terrible overdramatic make up was so hot and I wish we had more of that look

So I hear we got confirmation that Ed got the "Trust No One" tattoo between s1 and s2. Curious about how that might have gone? I've got a fic for that! Trust One, E, Ed/Izzy, 3.7K archiveofourown.org/works/56034790

I definitely think that's what Izzy thought was happening at some point!

Smutty Steddyhands roleplay fic, anyone? archiveofourown.org/works/63859462

Yo has anyone written or drawn Izzy riding Stede while holding a knife to his throat? Cause the image just popped into my head and I don't think I can sleep now.

Edward Teach is just as cringe as Stede Bonnet, he just does it while looking hot in leather with a badass reputation so no one comments on it, I will die on this hill

I may never have figured out I was non-binary if not for OFMD. Not only because of @vico-ortiz.bsky.social and their amazing performance as Jim, but also the rest of the cast and writers and the warmth, humor and love they brought to the show. It made me believe I could be myself and still be loved.

Morning Madeleine

I saw a Tumblr post that theorized that he told them all they were written in Egyptian hieroglyphs and no one knew enough about Egypt to challenge him on it 😂

Just the fact that Ed and Stede's conflict in @david-jenkins.bsky.social's latest update isn't so much "I'm not happy" as "I worry HE'S not happy" means they are leagues ahead of where they were in their previous marriages. They'll be okay, guys. The love is there.

Currently torturing my Youtube algorithm by watching the same 4 year-old The Terror crackvids and nothing else. It keeps desperately shoving new things in my recs to get me to engage with something, anything more relevant, and I just laugh and re-roll Carnivale fire dance remixes for a tenth time.

Chapter 14 is up! *staggers away covered in blood to start Chapter 15* archiveofourown.org/works/529418...

Wouldn't It Be Nice by the Beach Boys

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

I think it's important to stress that I especially love it that Izzy is A Little Bit Thick. He's got his skills, but it's the teensy sprinkling of Stupid that's especially tasty to me. He is, lovingly, a Bingus. A Ding Dong. He is constantly pushing on doors marked 'pull'.

How do y'all tell whether you're on a blocklist? I want to know if the Izzy haters know who I am!

I'm making an Edizzy fan edit to a certain extremely Blackhands-coded hit song from this year, and I'm struck by just how little footage there is of them looking happy together.

Writing fic isn't enough, I need to express my love for Ed via angsty fanvid as well. So I did.

More than a year since the last new episode of #OurFlagMeansDeath aired and according to Parrot Analytics, the show is still in outstanding demand. #AdoptOurCrew tv.parrotanalytics.com/US/our-flag-...

Woohoo, a chance to skeet one of my own fics! Just posted the latest chapter of the Great Below, which is Part 2 of The Depths, my Steddyhands epic that started as a simple "Izzy gets whumped" prompt fill and grew into a whole dang soap opera.

Hey we are starting a planning committee and everything for a pirate specific con if anyone wants to join discord.gg/vGEUhXBN #ofmd #ourflagmeansdeath

I swear this con had some galvanizing effect on the fandom even for people who weren't there. I too am obsessing about Steddyhands again and am noticing some uptick in kudos on my fics.

if you have been enjoying my recent fucked up ed in gorgeous lighting you might be into the fic they're from, twenty three years. it's grim, but the worst parts have the option to skip, and it's hot and pretty & ends soft and gentle. mind the notes and tags 💘 archiveofourown.org/works/60738847

I saw this, heard it in Ed's voice, and stuck it on a picture of him 😆✨ #OFMD #OurFlagMeansDeath

Calico Jack apology tour

I'm two chapters into @cannibalsnplaid.bsky.social's "Ashes to Ashes" and I'm already obsessed with it, daydreaming about it at work...why are Ed and Izzy as carnies of all things so hot???

Dreamed last night that I was explaining copyright law regarding fanfic to Rhys Darby and he was really nice about it even though I was droning on a bit.

Hey @netflix.com you have a great opportunity to become the toast of Bluesky.

After weeks of writer's block I suddenly have this Steddyhands CNC fic set in my old kink 'verse tugging at my sleeve...I feel like I need to drop everything and write it. Why does the holiday season always bring out the dark story ideas in me?

And this is how Izzy joined the navy😌

I think the people who are baffled by the "Izzy is scary actually" take do not realize how many Americans 1) Think all British accents regardless of regional dialect sound posh and "upper class" 2) Are mortified by the idea of an English person yelling at them

I just think a mashup of “Good Luck, Babe!” by Chappell Roan and “This Must Be the Place” by Talking Heads would be so good. If only I had the skills and software to make this happen.
