Screenshot of the Canyon Cheesecake Week Twitter profile. The header image is a collage-style graphic of a man's legs in high heels standing on a cheesecake, with a wood table and a red and white gingham tablecloth. The profile picture is BTS footage of Con O'Neill dressed as Izzy, smiling and receiving a slice of cheesecake for his birthday. Text reads: Canyon Cheesecake Week 🔞 July 24-31 🍰 @CanyonCheesecak A celebration of Izzy Hands and the #InternationalCheesecakeDay 🍰 Details in pinned thread! Mods @AyashiTetsuko @SpcCadetGlowAO3 #CanyonCheesecakeWeek

Hey remember when we did Canyon Cheesecake Week last year? We aren't repeating the event but TOMORROW is Int'l Cheesecake Day! Grab a slice and take a picture, and feel free to share any works from the event! I'll be reposting the graphics I made cos they're fun. 😎

Be the chaos gremlin you’re missing!

Keep your Saturday 27th September free, something exciting you’re not going to want to miss is coming.

Announcement: soon 🤭😆

We have separate sections for different pairings, general space is to talk about anything but we are acting more as a gateway to other servers so people are aware those spaces exist rather than creating our own community if that makes sense!

A Sunday Sneak Peek...

This is happening! To help us all get through the doom and gloom of January, I'm bringing Behind Our Flag back for an all new day of virtual pirate fun.

Calling all artists for a new fundraiser project!

From the team that brought you #ofmdCraftFair... it's time for You Wrote Me A Lovely Postcard ( #YWMLP )!

We're looking for folks to make 5x7" postcard art to raise money for The Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights.

A poster with a yellow fading into pink background made up of hibiscus flowers. The poster reads: '@bottomstedeweek presents Stede's Pin-up Weekend #PinupStede' The '#PinupStede' is inside of a pink hibiscus flower and at the front of the word 'Stede's' are two other, slightly more detailed hibiscus flowers Underneath the words is a realistic digital drawing of Stede (from OFMD) sat leaning back with his right leg up and the other bent. His right hand is resting on his right leg and his left hand is touching the calf of his right leg. He's wearing a blue, sheer dressing gown which hangs off his arms and pools around him, not covering any of his body. He's also wearing black, sheer stockings with blue ribbons at the top in a bow and little black heels with pinky-red bows and the actual heel is the same colour as the bows. There's a little pink hibiscus flower in his blonde hair as well Underneath, though partly in front of him is a ribbon-like pink banner that reads: 'August 15th - 17th'

I hope you’re ready, because it's about to get hot hot hot ☀️🔥

A teaser graphic for the next event held by @bottomstedeweek. The images of a white sand beach with a gray and white striped towel on the left hand side. On the towel are three bright limes, two light pink flowers, and an empty glass. A pair of white cat eye sunglasses is in the center of the picture, half on the sand, half on the towel. There is a light pink fan on the top left of the image, unfolded. There is text over the fan that reads:" summer won't be the only thing to get you hot and bothered...". The logo for Stede's pin-up weekend is in the bottom right corner with text underneath that reads: "coming soon..."

More info coming soon 😘
