Nope. Not listening to your excuses for using AI. Don't care of it was simply a jumping off point for a tattoo design. Pay your artist to design something for you.

Ed from Our Flag Means Death in his "Kraken" outfit from the end of season 1 in the style of The Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel. Rather than wings there are tentacles spreading out behind him in an approximation of wings. The clouds allude to a storm coming. Waves are crashing into the rock he's leaning back against. A red scrap of fabric blows in the breeze. A lighthouse is far in the distance, striped red and white.

A zoomed in angry Ed similar to The Fallen Angel. His eyes are covered in kohl, and though angry he's clearly crying.

Details of the tentacles, faint gradients smudged out. The suckers are primarily pink but are closer to purple around the edges.

Pencil doodle of Ed singing "Life's a hard sad death and then you're deeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaad" with clasped hands and tears on his face. The tracked time of the Fallen Angel-style Ed painting is displayed in the background, circled. It reads 14 hours and 26 minutes active time.

oh y'all want pirates?? I got lots of pirates. like this one! I lost my mind and did this a couple years ago! #ofmd

Presentation slide 1, with a purple background and white and pink writing that says the following: Our Flag Means Death AND WHY REPRESENTATION MATTERS IN TELEVISION

I made a PPT presentation for my class. The assignment was to make a ten slide presentation on a topic of my choosing. What did I choose? Our pirates, of course. 🥹 It got me emotional, making it, thinking about how it should’ve never been cancelled, so I wanted to share it here. 🧵

Kraken's Delights Words by: Lizzyleo Art by: Akans, SamG Rated: Explicit Pairing: Gentlebeard Newly out and freshly divorced Stede Bonnet is not ready to involve anyone else in his life yet, romantic or sexual or otherwise, so he takes matters into his own hands. A late night out with friends and a thumbs up from Lucius brings him to Kraken’s Delights, a custom silicone adult toy webstore. After being intimidated by most of the fantasy toys, and not knowing what half of the other items even are, he goes for a fairly normal toy. While checking out, he’s given the offer to add a small mystery toy for free. He figures why not and goes for it. It’s the best experience in the bedroom of his life. He writes a long (non-graphic) review/thank you email to ‘Ed’, who made and put together his order, according to the card that came in the package. Ed, owner and head designer of Kraken’s Delights, has never gotten a review like this before. He remembers putting together the order, but never expected anything like this. Messages are exchanged and a chance meeting brings these two face to face.

mock postcard that reads: Thank you for your purchase! Your purchase helps support a small queer business. We hope you love your new toy and that it brings you joy for many years to come! (pun intended) If you have any questions or problems, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your order was made by Ed

It's here!!! My @ofmdbigbang.bsky.social with @samwtf.bsky.social and @akans.bsky.social , "Kraken's Delights", 13k of PWP and Stede discovering the world of fantasy toys and gay sex 🥰 Enjoy!! #ofmd #ofmdnsfw #OFMDBB25

Crop of an illustration. You can see an opened shipping box on a nightstand, inside is gold and teal tissue paper, next to it is a little info card with a picture of a dildo. There is also a bare, pale knee, bent, coming up from the bottom of the frame.

Coming to AO3 in one week, Tuesday Nov 25, my Big Bang, ‘Kraken’s Delights’!!! Stede goes on a self pleasure adventure and makes a friend along the way 😏 🐙

Enjoy this very cropped illustration from @akans.bsky.social. It will also be featuring an art piece from @samwtf.bsky.social 💜💜

Ed and Stede as anthropomorphic unicorns. Stede is a light blue unicorn with a pink horn and hooves, wearing an orange suit. Ed is a magenta unicorn with a gold horn and hooves, and is wearing a cropped purple suit.

This is what I did this Halloween!

MAN I LOVE FANFICTION I LOVE READING ABOUT THE SAME CHARACTERS FUCKING AND FALLING IN LOVE OVER AND OVER AGAIN

Stede Bonnet stuns thousands with his angelic looks while wearing a frilly shirt and teal waistcoat. He holds a lantern in his left hand which gives him a warm glow as he walks outside in the dark, he looks confused but in a sexy way

Have you seen him today??
