You should read the first chapter if you haven't already, because you're going to want to see the art I just received for the second one (coming Wednesday) 👀

There needs to be a word for the specific yearning to hear a fictional song mentioned in a musician AU fic

Had the joy of reading this one as it was being written, so can confirm no Take That knowledge is required. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll go 'awww'. Get on it!

This one's now available in audio form if you like that sort of thing! Don't Dream It's Over by @moderatecitrus.bsky.social inspired by art by @merryfinches.bsky.social. archiveofourown.org/works/87806881

Chapter 1 of my first #OFMDReverseBang, Back for Good, is live. With amazing art from @mystictrashmoon.bsky.social that inspired this whole journey. Hope you enjoy what we've created ❤️. And Ed Teach, you'd better be ready... your time is coming, don't be late. archiveofourown.org/works/877379...

I would like to speak to the person who decided you should have a sort of hangover for a day post-meltdown, major design fault imo

First chapter now up! #OFMDReverseBang inspired by and featuring art from @merryfinches.bsky.social archiveofourown.org/works/871054...

once again happy pride to this bitch

Hello lovelies! We have a Wee Con treat for you today! Discounts for all tickets! A chance to win an online ticket! Last chance for submissions for workshops! Join us and you too can cone a statue! #theweecon

Things I've learned from OFMD - cringe is fake - always be yourself; you could fake it, but what if you succeed? what then? - everyone gets a shot at healing - it's good that some marriages end - you are allowed to change your life - when in doubt do arts and crafts together

It is a year since YOFT was released and I still am not over what an incredible thing it is. Go rewatch it today. #yoft #ofmd #crewforlife

RBB is now sitting in drafts waiting to go on Wednesday. Here is the summary...

New chapter for Please Let Me Hold You! We're leaping forward! Also, I am tired and have a massive headache, so I hope the editing phase didn't suffer as a result. archiveofourown.org/works/606381...

Tens of thousands of people gathered in soaring temperatures in Hungary's capital to celebrate the 31st annual Budapest Pride, the first such LGBTQ+ march since former prime minister Viktor Orbán, who had sought to ban the event, was ousted in an April election

@pilotpirate.bsky.social & I made a pod for @ofmdpodfuckery.bsky.social Un-brie-lievable by @makingoceansounds.bsky.social 💓 Feat. mature, tangy (zangy) and well-rounded puns 🧀 Please brie gentle it's my first ever podfic, but I had the gratest collaborator 💓 archiveofourown.org/works/87130346

Finally bought a box for my crew trinkets, and found this from Wee Con while sorting through. Can't remember who gave me it when I was promising everyone who'd listen that I was going to write a fic, but I think I achieved the stated aims.

It’s not the right day for it but I’ve got a postable snippet of new Constellationism so I thought, why not post it? Odd sensation to be writing a chapter set just before Christmas during a heatwave. Here I sit in the Caffè Nero air conditioning, imagining it a snow globe.

At least the gulls are staying cool.

Which is what fans of queer media have been saying would happen the entire time, because it doesn’t matter how many gays you make into media empire CEOs (my gay pirate crew, you know the one) - they simply don’t think queer shows make money and then they get shocked and learn nothing when they do.

I have enjoyed how many fans of OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH seem to have appreciated this post. It makes a certain kind of sense I think

Not saying I've lost touch with what is normal or anything, but just read that we're hitting 34c here today and first thought was oh that's not so bad because at least it isn't 40

I have been lucky enough to beta this one and it is SO GOOD! Clear your july schedules! It's nearly RBB season 🎉

I hate the heat and also hate the sound of a fan, so it's fair to say I'm currently in my miserable bastard era

Hey RBB participants, and future BB participants, and former ones! Please DO NOT shut up about your projects because I want to hear about them, especially when there’s a link to click! It can be hard to keep up when a lot of things come out at once so keep promoting! 👀👀👀❤️❤️❤️

Hello hello, one and all! Time for a quick update of our progress with another month chugging by and we're snugly over our tech and AV costs! 🥳 Keep your eyes open for a little surprise on 30th June to as a wee Hurrah for Pride month 🥰 #theweecon #theweecon2

My first #WIPWednesday in what feels like 10 human years. A snippet from what's also my first RBB fic, with art from @mystictrashmoon.bsky.social, hitting an AO3 near you this July. I'm so excited and nervous to share this one. It's unlike anything I've ever done before (I think). #OFMDFic

For WIP Wednesday, a tiny snippet of my RBB fic with art by @merryfinches.bsky.social Don't Dream It's Over - 5 times Mary and Lucius tried to get Ed and Stede back together, and 1 time they didn't have to - starts posting 1st July. (Happy ending guaranteed.) #ofmdfic

Now complete! Ch 15 of In Name Only in which Ed and Stede return to the holiday market and think about their future. With art from @aliassamm.bsky.social! #OFMDfic #OFMDfanfic archiveofourown.org/works/810500...

Do you know OFMD Innkeepers Week is happening in September? (probably as I don't shut up about it). Remember ALL is welcome at the Inn so please absolute go mad and create/share/whatever, I would love to see everyone's different thoughts and views on how it's all going to go.

The other design I did for Artiss’ Pride collection 🏳️‍🌈

I would watch the fuck out of this. Also just throwing this out there but would people be interested in a Filler Episode Week where we could write/draw fun ideas that could have been filler episodes in an alternate universe where OFMD got 20+ episodes per season? 🤔

Stede rising from his near-death bed with a stab wound at the first sign someone might let him talk about his clothing collection is peak aut!sm rep though

Five topics I could talk about for an hour: OFMD Sherlock Holmes canon Wild birds of the UK 19th century aesthetic/decadent art Unfortunately, UK politics

Well at least I'll be able to back up my ongoing fandom mission to stop people describing Izzy's accent as scouse by using the PM as an example

I forever adore that they did the “magic is REAL and people can turn into birds” ep right before the “curses are FAKE but sometimes it’s better to believe in them anyways” ep. the literal magic isn’t the point but adjusting your beliefs and changing for yourself + the people you love IS!!!

happy father's day to stede

Anyway it is FINISHED and I will not be returning to edit it further, nope, not at all, never, nah. Posting begins 1st July.

i just think that madeleine sami in the traitors nz

Have set up my RBB fic as a draft on ao3 so I can add tags and such, and so my next week and a half will be devoted to constantly checking it hasn't somehow accidentally posted itself early

Post one (1) photo of a painting that you took with your very own hands.

I’ve been saying this for 2.5 years, but we need more representation of established queer couples doing the hard work of making a life together. Those negotiations are often different for queers. There’s different baggage, different expectations. The story doesn’t end at “I love you.”

It's getting warm here again, and my brain is decidedly not a fan. Here's the little fic that happened last heatwave. archiveofourown.org/works/85508131

I really, really need Stede to have his 'learns to take his own fucking advice and open up' arc. He's holding so so so much inside and one day it's gonna explode if he doesn't release the pressure! All that bottling up will 100% affect how he's able to show up for Ed & their relationship

Logging on to work and immediately feeling the need to go full Zheng with a plank on a mediocre man

Today, June 18th, is Autistic Pride Day. Happy Autistic Pride Day from all of us at the Autistic Self Advocacy Network! Nothing about us, without us!

Come and hang out with cool pirates!

periodic reminder that you don’t have to write or make art or even read fic to belong in the fandom 🧡
