I try so hard to channel Stede Bonnet "hi, all!" confidence, but I really don't have any 🙈

Awesome!

Stede was superfluous to this highly erudite conversation, but he couldn’t speed up through the crowd and reach Ed because Anne and Charles had each latched onto one of his arms. “What do you think, Stede?” Anne asked him then. “What kind of name is Stede?” Vane interjected. “It means homestead or estate,” Stede told him warily. Abiding-place of hope or passion, he’d read once. The type of person who asked this usually never meant well by it. Charles was no exception. He let go of Stede’s arm to walk a couple of steps ahead, backwards, looking Stede over. “Man, you’ve got an accent, too. Where’re you from, eh?” “Shut up, Charlie,” Anne said. “I want to know what Stede thinks about the map.” “Maybe it’s like a treasure map,” he invented wildly.

Yeeees! I've been pushing this agenda for years! It's "abiding place of love" and I used it in #Goldenheart ❤️

Ficversaries I've missed!

From the world of Ed's marina:
Stede’s Morning archiveofourown.org/works/46580728

Stede&Ed’s Anniversary archiveofourown.org/works/64334782

A Stede's First Time fic (sequel to the Ruthie fic!)
Somewhere There is Someone archiveofourown.org/works/55296070

Aww, we reached 100 kudos ❤️

It's usually because of the venue 😭
We should Kickstarter an all-ages show at a non-alcohol-serving theatre!

I feel you! This is exactly what I was worried about and checked every bit of the Manchester venue site before deciding not to risk it. It's sooo frustrating! 🫂❤️🫂

I have this from my MiL ❤️

I LOVE THIS ❤️❤️❤️

Brilliant thread ❤️

Ooh and there's some gorgeous @mahnah.bsky.social art!

Aww, this art was so inspiring! I drew from it for my Orville Peck songfic ❤️

Edward Teach aka Blackbeard from TV's hit show Our Flag Means Death sitting in a red robe with a starry night sky with the ocean in the background. Art by LibRoseITM.

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 second #fandommarket has arrived!
I ordered ink pads of various colours, and they haven't arrived yet, so I can't use my new @515253545.bsky.social stamp yet 😭
Also, this is technically item 4 or 5, because I also have colouring pages and knitting patterns that have come into my email ❤️

We found it (serendipity!) at the library book sale and the seven-year-old loved it 🤗

How to Teach Grown-Ups About Pluto by Dean Regas

Page about Charon from How to Teach Grown-Ups About Pluto by Dean Regas

Oh, but it's a dwarf planet! 🤗
This book has a really neat way of explaining the classifications and how Pluto is special (why, yes, I read it as research for my Big Bang fic set on Pluto and Charon :p )

A movie couple that would definitely have a podcast

Stede is still leading!
Ed's at 69, so maybe he's fine with being where he is 🤷‍♀️
