Our Flag Means Community

Today in "The #OFMD Fandom, it changes you,": I have signed up for a knitting workshop, slightly reassured that even if I do manage to stab myself with the needles, the workshop is being led by a medical professional! #WeeCon

Wise words #omfd #weecon #twoactsofdragplease

One of the many, many things that have delighted me this weekend: Muppet Ed is in a kilt! 😍
#WeeCon

A small slice of the Gayeux Tapestry, including a kiss, 2 idiots running along a beach, a super tough pirate, 3 pretty cool pirates sitting on a beach, another clutching his favourite trousers, 2 more being brave but not soft, a totally awesome bunch of pirates, their captain. And #asstonight if you look hard enough #OFMD

Sorry I have to leave #WeeCon before it's done, but so happy I could come. Thank you to all of you who were so patient and let me blather on about the tapestry & for being my therapy as I adjust to it being finished. So amazing to be part of this crew and so lovely to get to meet so many of you. 🏴‍☠️❤️

A collection of Our Flag means Death themed gifts and purchases from the WeeCon, featuring stickers, prints, charms, fanfic dribbles, postcards, jewellery.

#WeeCon has been a blast, I enjoyed the panels, and especially the workshops so much!
Thanks to y'all who made this such a great con! For all the lovely gifts, chats, laughter and hugs and to everyone who appreciated getting my silly little bookmarks <3

Realised today I never actually posted this picture of my costume from #WeeCon last week.

At the beginning of the reading Joelle Taylor talked about being in a room that loves you back and said “We know each other and we’ve never met” - that’s what the past weekend at #TheWeeCon felt like.

The Chain Choir! It was a magical night.
Also: ALL of these beautiful people were somehow convinced by @amuseoffyre.bsky.social to sing me a little early pick-me-up birthday song??? It didn't even register that they meant me until I had an arm full of Fyre wrapped around me!🥹 ♥️ #TheWeeCon #grateful

A chest with variety of ofmd items on top of it. Postcards of fics and art, stickers, badges, bracelets, soap and everything else. This is wild. I love you all.

I'm overwhelmed. This is absolutely ridiculous. This is part one of the #theweecon haul. I did not buy any of this. This is the generosity of everyone exchanging/handing out gifts. You are all truly the best people. If you see yourself, say hello and I've lost track of everyone at this point. 💜

A chest of various OFMD goodies, prints, stickers, keyrings.

Guys, the sheer level of talent we have on this ship!

Part two of #theweecon haul, the artists and creators of the community! I love you all, my bank balance hates you but look at all this beautiful beautiful art I ended up getting. It's all so pretty. 🥺💜

Before I forget!

Special shout-out to all of the people who donated to our Pay It Forward scheme! We had 14 people who were able to attend either in person or online because of your generosity 🥰

Our crew are so willing to be there for each other.

#theweecon

There's a timelapse of it here: www.instagram.com/p/DQmgOECjlFc/

Absolutely yes! The warmth, support and enthusiasm people have to create and help and just pour their whole selves into everything never ceases to amaze 🥰

- Equality Network - a charity that supports the LGBTQI+ community in Scotland, providing information, access and advice across the country.

Thank you all for all your support for the event and especially for helping to raise so much for two excellent charities! The total will be posted asap ❤️

There are still a few little bills to pay and elements to sort out, but I'm very excited to say we have raised a substantial chunk of funding for both of our chosen charities:
- Social Bite - a local project that supports and assists the homeless community across Scotland
(cont'd...) #theweecon

I held a small introduction into linocutting at #theweecon and the spaces filled up in about half an hour. I loved what people did with it, so many cool designs! We were running late (lesson finally learnt) but at least everyone got to finish and print their artwork and seemed to enjoy the workshop.

We won and continue to win after you created an amazing pirate show that bought us all together for #theweecon in Edinburgh this past weekend. So much love in that room. So love to you and to all of my fellow pirates 🥰🏴‍☠️🦄🏳️‍🌈

And keep having meetups at big comic cons, keep organizing drag shows, keep meeting up at ANY tangentially related event you can think of. Fandom can't die when we have the ability to gather together as a crew and HAVE FUN!!

I hope this weekend reminds you all that fandom ain't about how many celebrities you meet. It's about YOU!!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!

One of my absolute highlights of #TheWeeCon was meeting the voices in my head in person! I used to read fic every night for hours but with lino& crochet shenanigans eating my brain I can't do that as much anymore.Thank dog for podfics to keep me sane when I'm sick &entertained when I'm arting about.

#theweecon videos!

So glad I got to see the tapestry in person, @owltrousers.bsky.social!

Thing I learned about myself at #theweecon: I have an inner preschool teacher 😂

Yes your drabble is great even if you disagree also here is a sticker ⭐

The crew have now all scattered to the four winds, but we will always have the creative chaos of this weekend ❤️ Thank you to all the stewards and staff who made things go so smoothly and thank you to the attendees for making it such a fun and chill event!
On, to the next!

I still have some prints of crew in Hallo-Wee-Con bookmarks left, so if I haven't given you one yet (or you want another one), find me at #WeeCon!

I did warn you all that I'll do the emotional bit today. Thank you to everyone involved with #theweecon. It was the best. It was my first con and I've honestly been back and forth since booking it about cancelling since as soon as I booked it at the start of the year.
