#TakeTwoTuesday for the latest chapter of tiny love, icymi

#TakeTwoTuesday for my latest fic about Stede and Arthur’s short and bittersweet reunion

Drawing of Stede as a robot and Ed, sitting in a biodome, holding hands and surrounded by plants and butterflies.

Drawing of Ed and Stede in their kitchen, with Stede half perched on the table and Ed between his legs, holding on to each other.

Drawing of Stede and Ed in a hospital on the moon, with Stede on a bed and Ed sitting by his side. The earth and space are visible through a window in the background and a futuristic screen shows Stede’s vitals and information about his health stats.

Drawing of old man Ed sitting at the foot of a maple tree, holding a red leaf in his hand. Inset panels show scenes from his life with Stede, connected to the tree.

Idk if I've posted them all together like this before, but one of the many (!) things I love about @caladria.bsky.social's brilliant writing is how characters develop and grow over time. Drawing this was such an emotional journey!

The illusion that you didn't have to give up and crawl back into bed. 😔

A (mostly) greyscale digital drawing of Ed. He's leaning against a brick wall. He's wearing an old timey circus ring master outfit. He wearing a medium shade red marbled long coat that has gold trim, two gold lines on the sleeves, gold trim pocket and a matching vest with gold buttons. He's got a white polka dot shirt that sort of folds out at the front with a light gold necklace that has a moon and two stars underneath. He is holding a black top hat with his left hand. He has black pants and black knee high boots. He's holding a black cane with light gold end and handle.

😏 he's ready to tame a certain blonde haired pirate 👀 #ofmdfanart #ourflagmeansfanart

Aww, so much domesticity and caregiving. 🥰

Here's to being normal about it for a while longer. 💖

Title card for OFMDfanfic “In Name Only” created by latinkraken: Title card has a background of warm, medium brown woodgrain. The title is on a diagonal teal sticky note in black cursive. It's overlapping a purple sticky note in a handwriting font that says “by LyraTalise.” In the top right corner in white font is “marriage of convenience” and beneath that in the same font “glacial burn.” The bottom left corner has the same white font and reads “rated E” and “80k words.”

Ch 6 of In Name Only in which Ed and Stede do some prep...to live together. #OFMDfic #OFMDfanfic

Saw a promo about this year's dyke march clothing swap and feeling all the feelings about how much a creative community can change your life! It's still a work in progress (the fic and the life 😂) but what an amazing thing, to be in progress 💜💜 @yerbamansa.bsky.social @petrichorca.bsky.social

I heard about it, and it fixed me. ❤️🥹

Fandoms evolve and some folks move on, maybe for a bit or forever. Hyperfixations change.

But the #OFMD fandom is about the community first and foremost. It’s bigger than the show now in its way and not dependent on getting more. Think of all the money raised, for example!

Crew for life 🏴‍☠️

Haha, aww, thanks. It's so much fun to share it. 💜

😍🥰

OFMD fandom, it’s International Dark Sky Week! I want to share some OFMD fanworks that celebrate the night, skygazing, and stars, along with some #IDSW resources and how to help make our nights better for everyone.

Starting with @libroseitm.bsky.social's art for my fic As We Go Hand in Hand

My illustration for this beautiful beautiful fic, I’m so happy R trusted me to draw these special guys #ofmd #ofmdfanart

An illustration in two panels. The one on the left shows a park with city buildings in the background, a blue sky with white fluffy clouds overhead. Large in the frame is a statue of a bearded figure in a blue dress. Black tears run down from its eyes, pooling into its hands and down the front of the dress. A smaller figure of Stede Bonnet stands to the left, looking up at the statue, hair wind blown. In the second panel on the right, the statue and Stede, now sitting, are silhouetted against a setting sun, long shadows stretch across the ground towards the viewer. The sky is a mixture of dark blues, pinks, and oranges that reflect into the water. Pink and purple fluffy clouds are strewn across the sky. The shape of a busy horizon stretches across the frame in front of the glowing yellow orb.

It's Friday and chapter 4 of Forever is a Feeling is up on ao3! I am so happy that I got to draw this beautiful moment from @the-widow-olivia.bsky.social's fic. Everyone go read it now!!
