weird time to repost a fic, but in case you missed this, perhaps you’d like some barely-festive frottage?

Psst hey you want some smut archiveofourown.org/works/77460971

Starting a new @tenderashell.bsky.social project because I think these patterns have magical calming properties 🪡

Courtney: one of the funniest parts to me is that there was almost never somebody at the wheel and I would say to David "hey do you know no one is sailing the boat?"

She's here! My 3:10 to Yuma AU with @intheblanketfort.bsky.social for the OFMD Big Bang is posted for your pleasure. Good horses! Sharp-shooting! Happy endings that fly in the face of the source material! Link below. The art is truly next level and this is about to become a Caly appreciation blog.

Sometimes you’ve just got to live your enchanted forest-core dreams one cup of soothing herbal tea at a time, you know? #cuteart #whimsy #tea

a beautiful essay about reading what you love and what gets you through

Ok, hear me out: I played a solo rpg where you're an iron age villager & you have to decide whether to sacrifice yourself in hope of saving your village from famine. It was kind of heavy but really beautiful & thought-provoking 💖 (cw for pic w/ replica human skull as decoration) #OFMDFuckeryFridays

For #OFMDFuckeryFridays: Making themed playlists is soothing for my brain, creatively/organizationally. This week I made the dumbest (pos) one yet for my parents' cat's upcoming 1st bday. Tater Totts is a zoomie lil party monster & picturing her raging to 50 Cent actually lowered my stress levels.

40% of Bluesky have been contestants on Jeopardy making us a very smart website but all of them came in third so its not like that impressive

I signed up and you should too! Nothing better than pirate friend mail 🏴‍☠️💌

So my favourite thing I learned today is that there's a YouTube book club for This Year, by John Darnielle @themountaingoats.bsky.social ! Visit the song mentioned in the book for that day and people are commenting. I was enjoying the book and songs anyway but this is a fun new dimension.

Fandom gift exchange is almost here! Sign up form will open Friday morning 🦄 #GiftOFMD #ofmd #PoisonIntoPositivity

Congratulations to Kristen Stewart, who may have managed to already wear the worst outfit we're going to see all year. You are not prepared for the scrolldown: tomandlorenzo.com/2026/01/kris...

oh look i found the packaging my brain came in (it was actually a cute little notebook with 🍊oranges🍊 on it!)

Wanted to share my Advint Calindah wrapping paper because I love how all the little OFMD critters in sweaters turned out!! (the wolf is wearing a black sweater because it's Ed's best friend <3) #OFMDart

#taketwotuesday in "honor" of the traitors coming back this week, why not read ed and stede as traitors in love (with alan cummings' looks)? archiveofourown.org/works/63763225

Hey hey for #TakeTwoTuesday, how about something lighthearted with some very stupid, silly art by me? ☔️❤️ On ao3 too, of course: archiveofourown.org/works/70384186 (Will this one get a sequel this year? It’s one of my many languishing WIPs, after all) #ofmdfic

this is, hands down, an absolute god tier of Online Stories. this is the top level of MicroBlog Lore. one does not beat the time swilua poisoned herself with her pants

i think american life would improve significantly and quickly if society was more encouraging of people to have Hobbies. the most perfect and serene state of mind that exists is when one is Doing one's Little Things

Here’s my “A Fine Fish” art, based on the fishing and fowling scene from the tomb of Menna

Still feeling festive? I've compiled all of the 12 Days of Izzmas art, plus 8 bonus sketches, into one little art zine for pay-what-you-want~ Get it here: cecillusive.itch.io/12-days-of-i...

Who's up for POSTIES!? Coming February 20-23, Disastercule Weekend is an event celebrating Ed/Jack/Anne/Mary. This event is co-hosted by @littlefingies.bsky.social and @halfeatenmoon.bsky.social. Thank you to @intheblanketfort.bsky.social for the beautiful art! #OFMDRareShips #OFMDdisastercule

I've seen so many posts today from ppl wondering if they should do the RBB for a variety of reasons (experience level, confidence, language, unorthodox idea) and the answer is YES. An event will be more interesting, fun, and successful w/your unique voice in it! If you have an idea, make it exist!

I didn't realize until I was updating the website that one form of art that can be accepted for the reverse bang is a playlist. I know some of you are amazing playlist curators -- I wonder how that'd strike potential writers? 🤔 All artist FAQs: sites.google.com/view/ofmd-rb...

Heh-Heh

I've got a wee something! Stede and Mary celebrate New Year's Eve 1994 at Evelyn and Marcus's house... archiveofourown.org/works/76938951 #OFMDfanfic Sort of an #OFMDrareship, Mary and Marcus 🤭 #OFMDjanuAUry

For real, everyone should go read this. It's 1K, and is a very sweet, short, easy read!! Go enrich your loves and read Crocs' TealOranges elementary school fic!!!

Here's my submission for #ofmdjanuaury #4: Pokémon. It's based on something that happened to me last month (though it was strictly a business transaction, not a meet cute). archiveofourown.org/works/77102266

Morning bump & a sentimental reflection. My undergrad thesis was about the role of the physical house as a signifier of characters' interior lives in [a novel]. I don't use my English lit BA in my career or daily life in any tangible way.

Is it cheating when it's just a chapter? I don't know and I don't care! For #OFMDJanuAUry day 3 (any TV show), here's chapter 2 of 'Til Forever! We've jumped ahead to early 2024: Ed & Stede finally get to reveal the secret of how they met at an Alone watch party, and Ed gets a phone call. 🔗⬇️

Happy birthday to the great Thelma!

Excited for Rare Ship Events 2026? We are, too!! We've got FOUR amazing events planned for you this year: Disastercule Weekend (co-hosted with @littlefingies.bsky.social and @halfeatenmoon.bsky.social), Rare Ships Week, Spanish Jackie Weekend, and Wee John Weekend! #OFMDRareShips

The news is overwhelming & it makes me very cynical but a few weeks ago I got to visit a very large, old elephant named Craig who had just been existing peacefully for 54 years in spite of everything. I found out he died today & he is super famous for just being so chill & living thru current events

Happy annual Lubing the Wood day, pals! ('tis January the third, go rub some mineral oil into your wooden kitchen appliances)

Kind of a weird time to be celebrating my birthday 😅, but here we are! Looking forward to a year of creativity and friendship.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

This thread will include all of the event info for easy reference Here are the basics to get started:

Chapter 2 of @politestmenace.bsky.social and @jjleftshoe.bsky.social 's OFMD × Heated Rivalry fic! Watched the episode and then went straight to the fic, 10/10 would recommend doing this archiveofourown.org/works/759774...

Me, looking directly at 2026.

no tunnel but the tunnel whose contours we identify for the purposes of finding its exit, no light but the one we follow to better times
