*In Stede's excited voice*
Izzy, I did a music!
I'm new to the crew, and not only did OFMD change my brain chemistry, but finding this community has awaken creative parts of me I didn't know I was missing. I feel like I'm re-discovering myself and can't believe the love I've found here. 💜🦄🏳️🌈🏴☠️
Shout out to @janejudyjune.bsky.social – aka JoinMeInFiction 🎄✨
Happy Sct. Nicholas Day! ✨♥️

A drawer of an advent calendar has been removed from the main calendar for a close-up. A small wooden number 4 that is painted gold is on the upper right corner. The faux aged paper is colored tan and the following phrase is printed in black toner: "A Gentleman Pirate? Ooh, that rings!"
A rectangular enameled lapel pin reads "Gentleman Pirate" with a light teal background and gunmetal gray script.
Day 4: A Star Is Born! "The Gentleman Pirate" does indeed have a nice ring to it, and Stede needed a fancy accessory for his rebrand.

A drawer of an advent calendar has been removed from the main calendar for a close-up. A small wooden number 3 that is painted gold is on the upper right corner. The faux aged paper is colored tan and the following phrase is printed in black toner: "I am adequate."
A friendship-style bracelet strung with elastic cord, spelling out the phrase "I am adequate" in black and white alphabet beads. The words are surrounded by multiple ridged, cream-colored, cultured freshwater pearls. The pearls are offset by lavender oval glass beads with a satin finish, and peach acrylic spacer beads.
Day 3: I think Stede would want to remember this moment of gathering his courage and beginning to overcome his trauma. Even though Izzy may see it as an unprofessional ambush, Stede did recover one of the hostages and bested him at swordplay.

Shout out to @dracothelizard.bsky.social’s ‘Lovely Letters’ from last year’s Advent Calendar 🎄✨😍
(and deepest apologies for not being able to share this timely yesterday!)

A drawer of an advent calendar has been removed from the main calendar for a close-up. A small wooden number 2 that is painted gold is on the upper right corner. The faux aged paper is colored tan and the following phrase is printed in black toner: "My family's here now, at sea."
A plastic book with a small chain and keyring attached. The cover is of an animated marionette with the title reading "Pinocchio."
The interior of the book opens to show two white and black 3-D printed plastic pages that read: Left page: "His wish had come true!" Right page: "At long last, he'd become a real boy!"
Day 2: I know a lot of us fell in love with Stede when he read to the crew, and the book choice of Pinocchio is so poignant for one of the show's themes of what does it mean to be a "real" pirate or man, or captain or father, or just an adult in general.

Happy 3rd of December, crew! #OFMDadventCalendar #OFMD
A drawer of an advent calendar has been removed from the main calendar for a close-up. A small wooden number 1 that is painted gold is on the upper right corner. The faux aged paper is colored tan and the following phrase is printed in black toner: "The spoils of battle!"
A plant shaped pendant is centered on a stainless steel necklace chain. The bottom half is made to look like a gunmetal gray colored tankard with a green plant growing out of the top.
Day 1: This scene was one of the easiest to pick since Stede made Lucius record it in his journal, so we know it was meaningful to him.
I David Jenkins-ed some chronology on a few trinkets/quotes as you'll see, so this is the "after" glamour shot of the plant from later in the season

Due to having a puppy (who’s unfortunately dealing w. anxieties) & studies, I haven’t been able to put together an advent calendar for 2025 – instead I’ll be resharing the wonderful work ppl put together last year!
And then we will be back with a new calendar in 2026! 😍🎄✨

Still love this! And still so happy you were up for joining the advent calendar!! 💜😍
![Ed and his workmates and other small queer businesses have been having their shared end-of-year holiday celebration at the same venue for the last five years. It's a bowling club which hosts all sorts of events, from barefoot lawn bowls to holiday parties to weddings.
Stede recently cancelled the wedding he was supposed to have at the same venue, but is yet to receive a refund of his booking fee. He's turned up to the venue in person to demand his refund, coincidentally while Ed's holiday party is happening.
It's summer in so-called Australia, and there's something in the air. Is it the gift of love or just an incoming summer thunderstorm?

Sooo … is it uncouth/too early to start sharing some of the stuff from the @ofmdadventcalendar.bsky.social directly to Bluesky … ? 👀
How are we feeling, y’all? Do people need a day or two more to fully catch up, or?
(I don’t wanna spoil any surprises!)
