I think this is probably my favourite thing I've made for the #FandomMarket
I might have to make another one for myself at some point ...
ed teach slightly out of focus in the foreground as grubby shirt stede looks at him with heart eyes and says i love you without saying i love you (our flag means death s2e4)
stede making heart eyes at ed after being kissed and saying ed makes him happy, while ed is still caressing stede's cheek (our flag means death s1e9)
i love being near you. it's nice. it feels good.

Okay, so, this really silly unicorn Gentlebeard original will be going up in the auction (provided it makes it safely back home with me on my travels)
BUT I am also going to offer a silly unicorn character commission so you can get whatever characters you want as very silly unicorns ๐

Ed and Stede lying in swirling beach grass. They're holding hands and looking at each other. There are little white flowers in patches around them, some of the patches are shaped like hearts, including the one between their faces. Two gulls are flying overhead. The boys are in their academy outfits - billowy white shirts, black pants and dark gray socks- but Ed has a little more of a beard than in that episode. Stede's shirt is unbuttoned and open, Ed's is unbuttoned only halfway and still tucked in.
Sliding onto the timeline a little late but here's the April art for @gbcalendar.bsky.social !! A breezy day in the beach grass ๐ฅน๐

illustration of Ed and Stede walking through snow-covered pine trees. Stede is wearing a pink pompom hat, pink mittens, purple scarf, teal coat, grey pants, and brown snow boots. Ed is wearing a black flaphat, black parka, yellow and pink plaid scarf, black pants, and black snow boots. Stede's left arm is around Ed's shoulders. Both their noses and cheeks are pink from the cold. In the background are two snowmen holding hands that look like Ed and Stede.
we can share our @gbcalendar.bsky.social art now so here is mine! #ofmd #ofmdart #gentlebeard

They are in the centre of the image, facing to the front and are looking upwards at the stars. Ed has his right arm raised and is pointing to the sky with a smile on his face as if he was explaining the stars to Stede. Stede has his hands clasped in front of his chest and is looking with wonder. They are both wearing winter clothing, with Ed wearing a dark green jacket and stede wearing a dark blue puffer jacket and brown scarf and gloves. The sky behind them is dark blue and purple with clouds at the bottom, the stars are sparkling.

A craft fair tragedy: I bought a pack of felt that looked like it had teal in it, but it turned out to just be green. I can't put Stede in GREEN!

05.02.2026 23:36 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0do you ever watch Stede's expression change from panic to astounded to sheer fucking joy when Ed returns. and then the breathy way he says Ed's name, his face radiant. and Ed's joy reflects right back at him.
and then you have to cry about it a little bit? bc yeah. me too
