It IS and I love it, and it's such a cute little hat. Peak whimsy.

Those worms are MARRIED 😭😭😭

💜💜💜

Sticking to the theme of being a real wacky, whimsical bastard (and an excuse to post #ofmd cosplay maybe). This is from San Japan last year. While @captaincharlemagne.bsky.social was being a cosplay judge, I was handing out worms on strings. Never underestimate the huge power of a wee trinket.

Guys (gn) I don't know how else to say this but you've gotta make the weird, beautiful shit you want to see in the world. You, personally, are a whimsy factory, making a sort of magic that only you, personally, possess. Yes, the dark Horrors are many, but the delights are MORE and they are brighter.

It's really great (it's not) seeing people make cryptic posts that are just like a single word "Fuck" and people replying like "Yep" and wondering if it's about the Horrors in general or something in specific and then concluding it doesn't matter either way because "Fuck" and also "Yep."

My thoughts exactly 😭

just feeling real normal about this middle aged dude right now

Listen I'm not saying we should all, like, run away on a pirate ship? But hear me out: we all run away on a pirate ship. The ship is a queer art commune. We are all queer artist pirates. On the seven seas, we live and create as we please. We can absolutely make this happen, I believe in us.

Oh man I feel this in my soul 🫂🫂🫂

PTSD from job loss is real af. My first major project is going BAD and my first instinct wasn't that my bosses were going to chat with me to give better direction, it was that I'm going to get shitcanned again. Trying to tell myself the problem isn't me, it's late stage capitalism.

Gender is a performance but it's tech week and I'm STILL not completely off-book

A meme with a bunch of drawings of people with Samus Aran arm cannons with the trans flags that says “Repost this is trans people should have Samus Arm Cannons.”

The brain weasels are bad bad bad. I wish mental wards were places one could go to actually get relief and help instead of torture prisons but alas.

Loves, I could use a little help in my tatty old coin purse. If you haven't scooped it up already, I have a huge digital art book available! Please share this around and thank you so much for helping me out! 🥰🧡 #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Oh my gosh she looks so sweet 🥹

Here's a picture of my beloved Lambert, looking quite triumphant. May you likewise triumph over the brain weasels 💜🫂

a hundred bad days made a hundred good stories, a hundred good stories make me interesting at parties

I will tell you a million times, I love this so much. The musculature, the body hair, Ed's tattoos and his scars, and yes, their bits, are all so perfectly rendered. And the softness! The intimacy! The joy! It's everything to me. It's the best reward for hurting them as much as we did lol.

An illustration of Ed and Stede lounging on a blanket on a beach, gazing lovingly at each other. Ed is reclined against Stede's leg, in his lap, and is presenting Stede with a pink flower from a patch beside them. Both of them are very naked, full tattoos, freckles and flaccid dicks on display. You're welcome.

Aaand because I enjoy a little naked, non-sexual intimacy, here's a NSFW version of pic2. As a treat. 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Illustration of Stede at Ed's bedside, tenderly dabbing blood from a shirtless and injured Ed's mouth by the dim light of a lantern and a few distant candles.

Ok! Here's art #1 for the #ofmdReverseBang !

@sonotthekraken.bsky.social took this and wrote the perfect whumpy accompaniment, along with matching happy ending 🥹💜💜 archiveofourown.org/works/678710...

Loved working on this! Do stay tuned for the much sweeter art #2!!

An illustration of Ed and Stede lounging on a blanket on a beach, gazing lovingly at each other. Ed is reclined against Stede's leg, in his lap, and is presenting Stede with a pink flower from a patch beside them. Stede is wearing white under shorts and Ed is covered at the crotch with a conveniently placed purple towel, but they are otherwise bare.

And here's art #2!

They really do deserve this after everything me and @sonotthekraken.bsky.social put them through!! 😅😇

So yeah I live in a zoo actually. It's a pretty big one. It's called Florida, dunno if you heard of it.

I've got infinite virtual hugs, friend 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

Continuing to give more than you are able is unsustainable and unkind to yourself, and I'm proud of you for making what must have been a hard decision. Transitions are hard - definitely a type of grief, it is reasonable to mourn. Be gentle with yourself.
