Official photos are coming in tomorrow, but my skull cardi is done!

OFMD BTS shot of Spanish Jackie played by Leslie Jones and The Swede played by Nat Faxon. They are in costume (Leslie in a rich, red velvet suit with a white ruffle collar, a gold waistcoat and gold chain and Nat wearing a smock with rope around him).

Spanish Jackie calling The Swede her sexy Dutchman is so much funnier when you remember she doesn't know why people call her Spanish Jackie.

Sneak peek of the art piece I submitted to the #FandomMarket today. (Proper photographs yet to be taken - bloody hell metallics are hard to photograph.)

Happy birthday!! 🎈🎉

Just gorgeous. 😍

Working with ZB has helped me feel productive in the very limited fandom time I have these days. I'm very grateful. Don't miss out on their fic!

And now you know: if you need Spanish swearing, I'm your gal.

Part 2 (of 3) of Episode 8 of Your Time Starts Now is here!

Stede eats some yoghurt and spreads some marmalade, Ed determines the word of the episode and Izzy abandons a comfy seat.

Chapter 9 is up! Just an epilogue to go!

Digital illustration of Ed Teach upside down falling, eyes closed, with a blue background. He is in his gravy basket outfit. he has a pink arrow through his chest, and there are faint feathers flying around him. Covering the background partially obscured are lyrics ‘hold me down, I’m so tired now, aim your arrow at the sky, take me down, I’m too tired now, leave me where I lie’ from sky full of song by Florence and the machine

Grab me by my ankles, I’ve been flying for too long #ofmd #ofmdfanart

Stede seems to struggle for a moment with what to say next, but then takes a deep breath and continues. “But one day I was trying to catch the bus. I’d stopped using my car because of the, uh, urban planning thing…well, you know. Anyway, I could see it coming and there was no way I was going to make it. I was carrying a full coffee, and I didn’t want to run and spill it, and then I realized that I had started walking faster, and faster, and faster…” Stede’s talking with his hands, and Ed can almost perfectly picture the scene as he describes it. “And just as it started to pull away, the driver saw me zooming up and slammed on the brakes and opened the door! I did it! I caught the bus!” Stede looks as proud as if he were recounting an olympic qualification. Ed laughs and shakes his head. “Sounds like it was meant to be, huh.” “I think so. It’s funny how it happened. It's like I blacked out and my body just took over. The muscle memory was there. And it felt exhilarating. It felt good. I was out of breath. I was buzzing. And it really made me realize something.” At this Stede leans forward. “I had just been thinking of myself as some sort of…I don’t know. Floating brain! Encased in…in some sort of inconvenient meat box. I hadn’t thought about my body in any real way for years, Ed. Years!” Ed could probably do enough thinking about Stede’s meat box (meat box crossed out) body for the both of them, he figures, but he tries to let the thought float away into the ether and really listen to what Stede’s saying. “I can see how that would feel good. To feel connected again to your body.”

Early bump since I have to go to campus soon to co-lead a workshop at my sleepiest time of day 😅🎄🥂💌

🫂😔

Ed is getting consumed by the Kraken (there was Merstede also but i can't watch the weird way i drew him there so no more Merstede)

#mood #ofmd

Made some OFMD themed beaded bookmarks as well as the safe space pride flag ones... can you guess the themes?

Ed took a sip of his tea, perfectly sugary sweet, exactly how he loved it. It was a recent love, sure, but a strong one. Rather like something else that had newly come into his life he thought to himself for a moment. “Mhmm,” he murmured appreciatively. “That is outstanding babe,” he leant forward to kiss the crown of Stede’s head. “How many sugars is it now?” Stede remained curiously silent for a moment, a slightly wary look on his face. Ed looked at him puzzled. “Babe?” “Well….” Stede said sheepishly. “You said it wasn’t the same when I tried putting six in.” Ed widened his eyes. “Fuck, there’s seven sugars in there?” “Yes,” Stede laughed. “Look if that’s how you think it’s perfect then that’s how I’ll make it for you!”

WIP Wednesday!

So that exes to neighbours to lovers thing I’ve been harping on about it ….

‘ The windows of this love’ will be with you with a hopefully weekly update starting on March 22nd ☺️

Have a snip

I LOVED this story, and part of it conjured such a strong image to me that I had to paint it right away!

Ed is wearing the wrong things, but I wanted him to be cosy too :)

Ed grabs his upper arms and gives him a little shake. “Never met anyone who thinks like you, and you’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever seen in my life!” “Nonsense! Don’t you own a mirror? You’re the most beautiful person in the world!” Stede cries, and then he actually stamps his foot, and Ed really wants to fuck him about it. “No way, mate, you are!” Ed yells. “No, you are!” Stede gestures wildly in his direction. “Mr. Wavy Hair and Big Eyes and Sexy Leather!” “You’re talking to me about hair! With those golden curls like some kind of fucking fairytale prince!” “We’re arguing about whether we’re both beautiful!” Stede shouts the words, but he’s smiling now. “Seems that way!” Ed steps even closer to Stede. Stede’s brow furrows. “Well… we should kiss about that, probably! Instead of arguing!” “We probably should!” They both move until they’re close enough to share breath.

The “living on your breath” boys are finally talking, which of course means having the most ridiculous argument ever. But hey, progress is progress.

#WIPWednesday #OFMDfanfic

So here Ed sat, in a room called a sauna, wood-panelled on all sides, heated with a brazier of charcoal in the middle of the floor. He recalled Swede speaking of this sort of thing, but there hadn’t been a chance to visit the one Swede had apparently built. Jackie’s eyes had rolled back into her head when speaking of it. Now, Ed understood why. He had lavender-scented oil in his short beard and wintergreen in his hair (because Stede said it complemented his “natural Ed-ness”). The towel wrapped around his waist, rather than lye soap, was faintly tinted with some sort of Marseille concoction and he didn’t want his clothes laundered in any other soap ever again. Stede sat on the opposite plank. He’d chosen citrus, cedar, and vetiver for his scents. He had his eyes closed, and hummed quietly to himself, a new song they’d learned on the road. Sous le pont d’Avignon / on danse, on danse / Sous le pont d’Avignon / on danse / tout ensemble Every stumble of a horse on a rock, every wade through swollen streams, every inn serving nothing but grey bread and a watery stew that made Roach weep, every officious duke or earl they’d had to placate... All of it was in the past. For now, at least, they were warm and dry—and alone together.
