Could use some extra financial help due to some stupid miscalculations on my end. Just need about $300 to get me to the end of the month. 🩵 Been a little rough. Thank you. PayPal: www.paypal.me/captncroche I also have Zelle.

Ooooof. Spent most of the weekend doing an apartment clean and finally making a sewing and crochet space for myself. It’s not perfect but better than it was. Cleaning is not done but progress.

#ThrowbackThursday to the first cosplay I really made on my own - Alucard from Hellsing from 2005. No lining in the vest and coat, had no structure, no front lapels, the hat was a hot mess, no wig, but the vintage driving glasses were cool. #cosplay

You guys! I am so proud of myself! I’m afraid of being in the water and have been for 35 years but @sonotthekraken.bsky.social took me snorkeling over Looe Key coral reef today!!

Day Two of my birthday celebration commences! Brunch and soooooo many museums today! @sonotthekraken.bsky.social 🩵🏴‍☠️💜🎉

Ed and Stede on the road to Key West today! @sonotthekraken.bsky.social #PotatsOnTour #ofmd #gentlebeard

Good evening from Key West, crew. 🩵🏴‍☠️ @sonotthekraken.bsky.social

Oh hey it’s May the Fourth! So I’m a member of the Rebel Legion…and this is my Kanan cosplay. He needs a new wig and his space wife 👀 @sonotthekraken.bsky.social #starwars #maythefourth #kananjarrus

Eighteen years ago, I cosplayed Red-Haired Shanks. I figured it was time to revisit him. ❤️🏴‍☠️ This time, I’ll have @sonotthekraken.bsky.social with me as Buggy the Clown! I just wanted to do something artsy for myself tonight. #onepiece #cosplay #shanks #redhairedshanks

Taking a stroll - these were taken to commemorate our first anniversary in April 2025. - with @sonotthekraken.bsky.social #ofmd #gentlebeard #stedebonnet #edteach

Taking a couple of hours to myself to start on my next Stede finally. 👀 #OFMD #TheBestRevengeIsDressingWell @sonotthekraken.bsky.social

👍

There are people who were so happy to meet you for the first time, to give you a big hug and a bracelet, to squee about that art or fic you created or that iconic meme or post you’ve made. You are WANTED in the pirate sandbox.

Hi all~! I am still alive and here.

@sonotthekraken.bsky.social and I celebrating our anniversary in Miami!

So, I reckon what makes Ed happy is... you. You make Stede happy. (I never actually put this up myself! Finished adopted sketch thanks to super adored @kellykat53.bsky.social!) #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

that little swoon

THE MOST SPECIAL GUY!!! THE BOY!!

#WIPWednesday for the penultimate chapter of “living on your breath.” I will miss these idiots and their unwavering admiration of each other. 😭 This is spicy talk but not full on 🌶️ #OFMDfic

#Artemis II - Special guest Astronaut ‘Nutella’ getting involved in breaking the Apollo record with its own flyby 😂🚀🌕

www.youtube.com/live/w_UlcK0... For my Midwest/Chicago peeps. You got weather coming in.

Influenza B is the verdict.

Just a happy spring duck shower today!

For all you AU rockstar Blackbeard lovers. Sketch break! 🏴‍☠️

My first portrait of Blackbeard, finished about two years ago now. Yikes. Graphite and charcoal. #OurFlagMeansDeath #OFMDFanArt

Thinking about Them again and gnashing my teeth until I get the time to properly tuck in to this GLORIOUSLY DECADENT UPDATE! 36K LET'S GOOOOOOO!!! archiveofourown.org/works/702434...

#ThrowbackThursday featuring One Piece cosplay. Of all the fandoms I’ve been in so far, it is the one I cosplayed the most outfits from, though OFMD is getting there!! This is the Great Warrior Calgara, with my friend as Montblanc Norland. They’re from the backstory of Skypeia. #onepiece

Hi all, Nana could use our support right now - whether that’s funds, a boost, or some extra love.

I love how in this fandom we can write fics with the David Jenkins school of whatever tag and not be held to standards of accuracy! And to find joy in that! Because it’s just about our guys falling in love in every universe. I just think that’s remarkable ❤️

Just two best friends enjoying one of their regular meet-ups… which are absolutely definitely not dates, no matter how much Ed might want them to be… My adorable art commission from @smolbus.bsky.social 💜 for Let The Rain Kiss You by @bonnypitty.bsky.social ☺️ #OFMD #OFMDfanart #gentlebeard

holy shit you guys. ed and stede are in love

AMAZING JOB, EVERYONE: Crafters, bidders, hype team, mods, etc!!! #fandommarket Check your email for your invoice and instructions, and remember you can always round your donations up to increase our impact for @immcouncil.org !!

"After the dock incident-" "Abandoned! And beardless!" "Yes, dear. Anyway, it took Ed two days to empty the Revenge's marmalade reserves." "Didn't want to go the way of Swede. Abandonment causes scurvy." "Well, can't have that." Whoever they're talking to is rolling their eyes. #OurFlagMeansDeath

So fun fact: I run into so many OFMD fan in the wild irl that it’s funny. In random places too like the Panda Express drive thru! We are alive, fandom, and we are Legion. #ofmd

our father, who art in heaven baja be thy blast

My fits for the pirate crew at the Florida Renaissance Festival. Come visit @sonotthekraken.bsky.social and me and the Pirates of Tortuga Bay if you’re in the area!! #renfaire #flarf

Oh my goooddddddd I love you people

Happy #ThrowbackThursday in honor of the new season of the live action One Piece coming out this week - this 18 year old photo of the very first pirate captain I ever cosplayed! Also the first person missing a left arm I also ever cosplayed. 👀 #onepiece #redhairedshanks
