Interior photo of the advent calendar with 24 drawers with gold painted knobs and numbers. Each drawer has a quote from the show in a typeface similar to the show's logo in black over tan paper designed to look like aged paper.
Interior cover with more freeform red fabric, the brown faux leather, and tan aged paper "title page" stating: "My Wonderous Journey: A Life at Sea A True Journal of the Life and Happenings of Stede Bonnet"
The back of the advent calendar in the same red freeform fabric and brown faux leather.
The theme is Stede's journal, with 24 drawers to pull out to reveal OFMD-themed trinkets (pins, stickers, jewelry, etc.).

20.10.2025 19:22 β π 21 π 4 π¬ 0 π 0Small digital drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing an off-white robe and pants combo. The robe is decorated with tiny gold flowers and vines around the hem and shoulders. He's wearing big brown slippers. His hair is down, falling around his face and down his back. He looks cozy, happy. Could be happier, if he had a hot cocoa.
This is my favorite time of year. I am not fall's favorite human though. Low sunlight sads got me hard today. Needed to draw a tiny comfy Ed about it.

12.09.2025 16:29 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Dear John, I don't know why I have to tell you this today (but I do) β perhaps it's because when I look out into the fog all I can see is the hairs of your adorable chest. I'm terribly in love with you, and have been for such a long time, ever since the first time Frank took me to your apartment. I looked around at your beautiful paintings and suddenly everything I'd ever felt about you turned into a diamond or a rose or something β anyway I went striding up and down while Frank played Poulenc and felt exactly like the Ugly Duckling the day he found he was a swan. Then you came home and I didn't think I could ever look at you or to you again, all I could do was giggle and snort and twitch. But I've looked at you a lot since then, and there isn't anybody else in the world that I want to look at; or want, for that matter. It seems to me that I've been so GOOD that I couldn't hate myself more. I don't see why I couldn't have been born a robber baron type instead of a fool. Now I'm going down and set 57th Street on fire to keep you warm. This is all nonsense. I love being in love with you, it makes even unhappiness seem no bigger than a pin, even at the times when I wish so violently that I could give my heart to science and be rid of it. With all my love, Jimmy
letter from james schuyler (poet) to john button (painter), 1956. this is IT for me. this is love, it's been captured, it's done, we can all pack it up. "and suddenly everything i'd ever felt about you turned into a diamond or a rose or something"
