Bekah (was at Wee Con and now misses it)

I'm proud of him. It must be hard having a career on stage while being a bird.

Very pretty. Very rude. I love him.

Why does he look like he's about to star in a production of Kinky Boots?

A kea (green parrot) attacking my shoe and ankle.

Since we are doing the animals in the wild posts, I don't think I showed any of you the time I got a "attacked" by this cheeky wee guy.

Oh no, poor guy. :( I usually have (haven't seen him in a while though), a big fat magpie who just likes chilling on the fence. The magpies here like to torment the cats and foxes by pulling their tails, absolutely no fear. I love magpies.

I've seen some ducks just casually walking about the streets near me early one morning. I also don't have a pond but not too far from the river so less odd. I wish the sparrowhawks would stop leaving dead half eaten pigeons in my garden, that's just rude of them.

Happy Birthday! 🎈🎉🥳🎂 That cake is cool as fuck. I hope it tastes as good as it looks.

I photographic proof for all of this btw as no believes me especially about the chicken.

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild (unexpected in the garden/out the window edition):

Chicken (dead, crossing the road, insert joke)
Sparrowhawk (eating a pigeon)
Rabbit (chilling)
Fox (so many)
Hedgehog

I live in the middle of a city, on a main road. Nothing makes sense.

Nope, go for it. I haven't seen any festival flavoured Jaffa cakes yet this year, usually someone does cranberry ones.

Nah, thank you. 🥰

If you haven't read this then you should, it's cute and tender and it has Stede as a wee corgi. What more do you need from life? 💜

And the art is absolutely adorable as well (there is so much of it!).

Cherry Bakewell (very nice) and Hot Honey (very odd, kinda like them in a strange way, very baffled by their existence).

It's mid-afternoon, the sun is setting, I haven't even bothered to get dressed yet, I'm lounging about in my pjs and robe reading fanfic with a constant supply of Assam and unusual Jaffa cakes, I'm chill as fuck, this isn't like me, I'm a bit suspicious.

Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing a yellow frilly shirt tied around his waist, his chest is bare. His pants are long and pooled around his usual black boots.

This week's tiny Ed decided the shirt was too hot but also too pretty not to wear. Stede'll find his words and fuss about the wrinkles later.

Yeah! You have hit bang on with my music taste.

Interpol in 2011 and 18.
White Lies in 11 (twice), 17, 19 (To Lose My Life anniversary tour, sooo good)
The Strokes in 2022 (not the best gig)
FF in 2009 and 2018.
The National (finally after being a fan since 09) in 2023 (it was everything 🖤)

Oh hey, same here with those 5. :D

Two panel illustration of Ed and Stede meet-cute. In the first panel Ed is looking at Stede with his hand on his tummy. There is fire and smoke behind him. In the second panel, Stede is lying on the floor with a noose around his neck and hands tied. He's been gut-stabbed.

🔥 Bound by wild desire, I fell into a ring of fire 🔥

A painting of Ed and Stede from episode 5 of season 2 of Our Flag Means Death

Do you ever think about them ✨🌝💕
#ofmdfanart

I never realised how much of an anxious panicky mess I've been the past few days till the stupid thing that was causing it was sorted out earlier. Thanks brain.

Olu and Jim based on that one bts photo smiling and having a nice time teal and yellow colors :) #ofmd #ofmdart

Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's leaning over a railing, one hand is on his chin. Moonlight is catching his silver strands. He's wearing a frilled shirt.

Stede often thinks back on that night in the top. Unfamiliar and soft leather on his skin, warm brandy on his tongue, the smell of spiced tobacco permeating every breath. It was as if the sea had risen with them when Ed's waves caught the moonlight just right. They still do.

Drawing of Ed taking a photo of Stede having his hair brushed and his makeup done by Alma and Louis

Stede in blue pajamas sitting on his bed is having his hair brushed and makeup done. Alma behind him standing on the bed is wearing purple pajamas. Louis is on Stede’s lap, clumsily applying lipstick to Stede’s face. His pajama is red.

It’s bedtime, and Alma and Louis won again. Ed finds it hilarious, Stede not that much. He’ll have to exfoliate his face twice as much as usually !

Stede on his knees leaning back . Head wearing a teal blue dress which has the sleeves cut off and a heart shaped window on his chest. The sides of the dress are thigh cut and exposes his bare legs

Time to get back to important matters… putting Stede in sexy fits again

#ofmd #ofmdfanart

Scribbly digital cartoon sketch of season 1 Stede Bonnet wearing his teal suit and cunty little black heels with pink bows. He is reverently holding a tiny model of the Revenge, looking down at it with quiet excitement. There is a splash of pink color behind him setting him apart from the plain white background.

give him back to me

I couldn't get this out of my head. Had to doodle it to move on with my day. 😆 #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Roxi comm me to draw alternative version of that one drawing with Ed and Stede in cake topper's outfits 💙🧡
