modern au kraken era ed sends this to stede

How about Bangs AND No Beard

can you believe we were only a few minutes into s2 when we got this gift?

I have a full sketch of this Kraken piece that I've been sitting with for six months. I still intend to finish, but it's huge (literally) with a lot of detail and it's sooooo difficult to get back into. Every time I try, I get distracted and just...draw something else. ONE DAY.

One day about a year ago, I sat down to work on Freeform ch4 and slid directly into a short* story about Stede's teenage years instead. I honestly am not allowed to open the file hahaha. It just YANKS on my brain. One thing at a time, BUT can't wait to revisit. (*a familiar lie i tell myself)

a dream sequence Stede pen doodle on a 3” bit of watercolor paper & a tiny gouache unfinished painting that was meant for “Frankly Scallop I Don’t Give A Clam” of the real house in Essex near Farnhams

Hi all! Gift Exchange emails are starting to go out, keep an eye on your inbox Aiming to have all emails sent by end of day Friday 23 January EST Will post to confirm once all emails have been sent 👩‍💻

Does anyone have any good ace-Stede fic recs, particularly any where they talk about it/navigate that? I'm feeling feels about it today. (I have already read and LOVED Snow Problem by @robertaseaport.bsky.social which has an Ed quote in it that was so perfect that I think about to this day 🥲🥹)

well this was a softball for the entire OFMD fandom, wasn't it? 😂

A night in watching Kate McKinnon at Hot Ones sends Ed back in time to his first date with Stede. Apparently, he has a thing for insect-loving blondes. I'm back to writing! Please enjoy my first offer of 2026 archiveofourown.org/works/78067601 #OFMDJanuAUry #OFMDfic #gentlebeard

Hey #OFMD crew, I wanna show some love for small efforts. Whether it's a doodle, a drabble, a thread of 2 am meta thoughts, or a half-knit scarf where you liked the pattern but got to the point where, "Yeah that's enough." What's something you still love even if it didn't get the full finish?

Genuinely cant recall if i ever posted this one here, but it makes me laugh so I’ll post it again if so

Hahahaha so good

A queer nightclub, BTW. These productions have always offered fun takes on Shakespeare, and I know this one will also be a total blast.

This is still one of my favorites — the stomacher of my cake topper gown. It’s cream dupioni silk, embroidered in gold silk and backed with linen. There’s the tentacle motif at the top (and message in a bottle), and below Barbados lilies. It’s crusted with pearls and glass and gold beads.

remember our zines

ok ok ok, untangled a knot today and i'm feeling very good about it, so have a Lilliputian #WIPWednesday. If it looks familiar you probably saw a proto-version. I can't remember wtf I've shared over the weeks 😂

This was the first piece of art I did for the fandom (and my first 'proper' artwork in many years) and it's still one of my favourites

Went to trivia and there was a literature round. Feeling some serious déjà vu 😂 (Yes, we destroyed the other teams) (My expertise in 90s pop lyrics also came in handy) (Disastrous sports round tho)

On this day of no AO3, here is the spreadsheet of thousands (as of today 1,976) OFMD podfics in a searchable and sortable format with external links to access the audio files directly. Your favorite story may already be in there!

An offering for #wipwednesday: Constellationism Stede is not having a very happy time.

Are you having a boring Tuesday? WELL STOP IT and immediately go read this deeply unhinged, crack-treated-seriously, only one LONG bed, sweet fever dream of a fic that @offsammich.bsky.social wrote! 🙃 archiveofourown.org/works/77987521 #OFMDfic

For #TakeTwoTuesday, my pretty be-ballgowned Ed 🥰

Since I've already posted most of my mermay art, this is my opportunity to repost my first #ofmd mermen ever 🧜‍♂️ #ourflagmeansdeath #gentlebeard

Hi friends this is my wintertime anxiety reminder that if your power goes out DOOO NOT use a propane camp stove or heater inside you'll get carbon monoxide poisoning. Ily all and I can't yap with you if you die

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

I contain mountainous volumes of unfathomable existential anxiety & also whimsy

GREAT QUESTION -Neurodivergent Stede Bonnet -Demisexual Stede Bonnet -Angst with a Happy Ending -Epistolary OR long distance relationship -teacher/professor AU (it’s less about the role; I just love to learn shit while I read & this tends to up the odds)

thinking thoughts

Feelin' bold tonight. Here's Ed and a midnight snack. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath #nsfwOFMD

What’s a killer longfic I haven’t read? Prefer GB pairing for the long ones - maybe there’s something from early days I missed, or something new and delicious? Last 2 longer ones I read were Tarte Tatin and Unknown Number. Angst welcomed. Any spice level🙏🏼

It can never be overstated that I think about this panel every day of my god damn life

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

Ok it's officially hot sketch winter~ My sketch for today: always wanted to draw Ed in that green dress from Atonement movie #nadsart #ofmd #edwardteach #ourflagmeansdeath #blackbeard

"You'll be okay, love" Yeah we're feeling big feelings lately 🥺 #ofmd #ofmdfanart

having the worst art block ever but i want to draw so bad i hate this anyway #OFMD #OFMDfanart i GUESS

know the risks of hrt! - able to enjoy life again - you smell better - cameras and mirrors stop trying to kill you - banging titties and a juicy ass (e only) - literally growing a dick (t only) and these are only a few!

The OA. Sorry not sorry, I was a goner for this weird, beautiful thing. Mushoku Tensei/Jobless Reincarnation - hits my favorite narrative buttons with surgical precision. MC is SO deliberately repulsive AND sympathetic from the start & we give him a whole lifetime to get his shit together??? Magic.
