Had to go away in the middle of the exchange, but so cheered up when I got back to find this gorgeous gift in my post… Such beautiful pirate goodies, I love them all so much!
And the wee drabble! - archiveofourown.org/works/59811142

I keep meaning to rec stories I enjoy, but I get caught up reading the next one and thinking no one will see anyway, but today - yeah, no. Let’s do this!
Reccing this one cos I loved it, and for those of us who go solo on Feb 14+. The inspiration that is Roach!

This bird has a tree.
Just the hugest thank you to everyone for Act of Grace con- I stayed up way too late to catch the last panel and it was totally worth it! So cool to see faces for names too. 🏴☠️ Here’s to the crew! 💖🏴☠️✨❤️
Ed standing at the edge of the ocean at dawn removing a wetsuit. He's naked beneath and his butt is just peeking out and so you can see delightful little dimples above each cheek. The sky and ocean are pink, purple, and blue.
Out for an early morning surf!
Thanks for the prompt @petrichorca.bsky.social 💜

Your ability to take absolutely no shit crisply, kindly, and unapologetically will inspire others to do the same.
Those books are on my regular re-read list - love them!
William Blake’s illustration for “The Tyger” has what appears to be a dippy grin for some reason.
The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night
What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!
Our flag means Death... Best serie ❤️🔥 A little portrait of Blackbeard 🥰 #blackbeard #gentlebeard #ofmd #ourflagmeansdeath #pirate
This one was never fully done either #edwardteach
In the spirit of trying to join in more in 2026... 😊
I will be moving into your happy little enclave this week and would like to cordially invite you for a meet-and-greet at my brand new home on Friday evening. No need to bring a bottle, I will have the ingredients for any drink you can imagine - excepting, I’m afraid, a pan-galactic gargle blaster!
I made a pair of OFMD mittens, and that’s it, but I am soooo proud of them that they count for all the other knitting in the world. I bet your hats were cool and also count for all the other knitting. 😊
happy new year, crew 💖✨🏴☠️

Two ceramic nutcrackers that look like Ed and Stede. The Stede one has a speech bubble that says “Id, we’re nutcrackers!!!”
I’ve had this silly caption in my head since I ordered the Ed and Stede nutcrackers, and now it can be reality!
Missing ✨them✨ a lot today #ofmd

The white poppy has been worn for over 90 years, as a symbol of remembrance & peace.
By wearing a white poppy, we remember all victims of war, both civilian & military. We remember those who are so often overlooked, buried under the rubble, suffering from starvation or displaced from their homes.
Small digital drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's dressed in Stede's clothes and his hair is down around his face. His shirt and leggings are white and his breeches are dark orange. He's ready to stare down every crew member until they sufficiently clap.
Wanted to do another tiny Ed tonight. He's ready to introduce the crew to their brave, brave Captain.

A screenshot of Series 1, Episode 1 of Our Flag Means Death on BBC iPlayer. At the bottom, it states it is available for just 1 month.
Reminded to my fellow UK OFMD fans that both seasons are only available on iPlayer for one more month 💔
Line up your alternative methods of viewing in preparation 🏴☠️
Also, I’m not usually for self-recs, but I do have a low stress story that fits - and the lovely art by @whatthefoucault.bsky.social also fits: archiveofourown.org/works/67221466
Liquid Gold by Perky Nerples was the first SMAU I ever read and it is just gorgeous and life affirming, and my go-to comfort fic.

Hark, heare the wynde blowe!
Wacche the sun ryse!
Runninge yn the shadowes:
Curse thy love, curse thy lies.
And yf thou dost not love me now
Thou wilt nevir love me agayne -
Ich kan yet heare thee sayinge:
Thou wouldst nevir breake the chayne

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're wearing modern warm clothing; coats and scarf and gloves. Ed is resting his chin on Stede's shoulder as he shoves his hands into Stede's coat pockets from behind. Stede is giggling, all crinkly eyes and dimples. The night is cold enough for their breath to show and they're lit from below from a nearby bonfire. They're as sticky toasty sweet as smores.
“There. Much better” Ed whispered softly as he rested his chin on Stede’s shoulder.
Boyfriend's pockets are the best pockets. Ed says so. Got to do an illustration for @watchtheflow.bsky.social's toasty sweet 'Bonfire Night'! 🧡
