Stede's Advent Calendar @ofmdsac.bsky.social · 18h

The first featured artist included in the calendar is the multi-talented @rebelsophie.bsky.social. Her work lights up the skyline with dazzling colors that show how magical The Revenge is. Her 3D pieces are so fun too! #OFMDSAC

Hi, I just wanted to clarify that this is the main prize including 24 items, and there are also 3 prize packs (2 with 12 duplicate calendar items, and 1 with 7 duplicate and donated items). So there will be 4 winners, and yes, if you donate more than $5, you'll get assigned more ticket numbers.

The theme is Stede's journal, with 24 drawers to pull out to reveal OFMD-themed trinkets (pins, stickers, jewelry, etc.).

You can make a direct donation of $5 or more to SAGE or Rainbow Railroad and email your receipt to

OFMDSAC [at] proton [dot] me

I'll reply with your ticket number(s) 2/6

Front of advent calendar cover sitting on a black bookcase. The cover has a brown faux leather spine over a red made-to-order fabric from a photo of Stede's journal in the show.

Interior cover with more freeform red fabric, the brown faux leather, and tan aged paper "title page" stating:

"My Wonderous Journey:
A Life at Sea
A True Journal of the Life and Happenings of Stede Bonnet"

The back of the advent calendar in the same red freeform fabric and brown faux leather.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I wish the cover turned out better, but the stuff inside is really fun at least 😂

Stede's Advent Calendar @ofmdsac.bsky.social · 2d

Thank you! I am so sad the cover isn't as flush as I thought it would be. I had to leave space for the drawer knobs and I thought I had enough clearance, but I'll just pretend it has been at sea too long and is just a bit warped 😭

The tiny font (where all the tricks are) to follow. Thanks for reading and considering donating to sageusa.org and rainbowrailroad.org. #OFMDSAC

Each increment of $5 will count as an entry, and ticket numbers will be assigned in order of receipt. I'll spin a random number wheel to pick the winners on 11/12. The main prize is the calendar and contents, and there will be 2 prize packs with 12 of the items from the calendar, and a third also of OFMD-related goodness thanks to donations from some of the artists 🙏

The theme of the calendar is Stede's journal if he maintained it through both seasons. This limited the inclusion of some of my favorite characters, scenes, and quotes since Stede wasn't present for them. I wish I could have included more fandom artists too, but with a strict theme, I couldn't include some of my favorite designs. I am also limited with space (1.5" drawers) so I had to let go of some of my more ambitious ideas. I don't mean to erase any of our beloved characters. The focus is just on key moments in his journey that I think Stede would want to remember. But I understand if that choice leads to criticism.

I'm also sorry that this is a US-only fundraiser. Between shipping and tariffs and detailed customs forms for multiple types of trinkets, it would be a logistical/financial nightmare. I love how global our fandom is, and I'm so sorry my country is like this. I'm happy to share my spreadsheets/design docs if you want to make your own and let you know where the pain points were so you can avoid them.

Thanks also to eddiepeaches not on bsky but on tumblr, who is represented in the two prize packs, just not the main calendar.

All of their work is amazing, and I'll link their shops in the next few weeks. We have the most talented fandom, I swear!

I know the cover is a bit wonky, but each drawer front has a quote from the show, which I will post here in this calendar account in December, also revealing the trinkets inside the day after.

This way I won't ruin the surprise for the winner, but we can all still play along. #OFMDSAC 3/6

Hi all! I'm announcing a new fundraiser that will run the next few weeks (until 11/11). Inspired by @tillychmo.bsky.social's digital @ofmdadventcalendar.bsky.social and @mustardwrites.bsky.social's fic Magpie, I wanted to create a physical one to raffle off for SAGE & Rainbow Railroad #OFMDSAC 1/6
