Has anyone seen his shirt? It's hard to train for pirate captain with stiddies out. Id? #ofmd #steard #stiddies

Making things just for the sake of making them is very freeing

I have some thoughts, obviously I'm happy with the drawing and so glad you like it ☺️ My skills are not perfect and it's ok that it shows. At least, I think that. The human who painted him is not perfect, but happy to make myself smile and bring some whimsy into other people's timline.

Full color illustration of Ed and Stede sharing an early morning cup of tea on the deck of the Revenge. The timeline is a somewhat nebulous S2, perhaps a “What If” scene. Ed is wearing the pink Depression Robe open and loosely draped across his shoulders, Stede is bare chested and they’re both leaning, pressed tight shoulder to elbow, making moon-eyes at each other. It’s insufferably charming.

for those of you who live in an Asleep Timezone, just a PSA that Free Space Ed is still getting kissed right now. maybe more? maybe even a little makey outie? I'll never tell 👀

(he is 😌)

YellowMustard @mustardwrites.bsky.social · 8d

Did you know Free Space Ed is doing some kissing right now? it's true, you can hear it direct from him if that's your vibe: archiveofourown.org/works/614230...

(it's UPDATED!! thank you again for your patience while the year 2025 has continued to be completely awful. i'm so grateful for you all xx)

In a small room tucked away in the back of Merperson Flotation Therapy, sprawled across a honeycomb tessellation of white tiles, hair dripping, limbs heavy: Edward Teach is kissing the man he loves.

There are several things that don’t make a lick of sense about this.

It doesn’t make sense that Ed is on the floor, for starters. He has absolutely no recollection of climbing out of the tank, and yet here he is.

(He’s propped himself up on one palm, his legs splayed out in a messy pile behind him. His wrist aches, and it'd maybe ache less if he popped his other hand on the floor too, distribute his weight a bit more evenly, but…nah. Good suggestion, but no, thanks all the same.)

(The fingers of Ed’s free hand are in Stede’s hair, so. That hand is not going anywhere.)

It doesn’t make sense that everything is blue. Dim, deep, rippling. Ed feels like he’s been tethered beneath the surface of the sea.

(It’s the lights from the pod. They must have eased their way back on while Ed’s eyes were closed. They’re on a timer. Sixty minutes. Ed reckons he couldn’t have been in the pod for much longer than thirty minutes. Which means Ed has been kissing Stede for a very, very long time.)

(This doesn’t make any sense either. Timer must be broken.)

The fact that Ed has just now decided that he’s in love: this, too, does not make any sense.

He hadn’t been in love an hour ago, or a day ago, or a week before that.

And that’s gotta be a fucking glitch in the human condition, right? That you can just not be in love one moment, and then the next you are? Who the fuck approved that in the design process?

(Only…this does, actually, make at least a little bit of sense. That Ed is in love.)

(Because it’s slowly dawning on Ed that…maybe he had been in love an hour ago. And a day ago. And a week before that.)

(Maybe he just didn’t need to be able to name it to feel it.)

There’s one main thing, though, that absolutely does make sense. Complete, exhaustive, faultless, comprehensive…

I should specify I don't tend to join groups and dm's sharing private information anyway, so maybe I'm less vulnerable in this regard

I like Mastodon, but only a few ofmd fandom people stayed there after the initial exodus, so now it's a very cool place for other interests for me, art etc.

it supposed to be blackbeard rescuing stede pinned to the mast (pierced by izzy's sword) so i thought it would fit the prompt. but mb it looks like ed is killing stede, who knows..

Look at her! 👁️ 👄 👁️
I commissioned the incomparable @sailorsruin92.bsky.social to draw me some ‘bodice ripper’ style artwork that I could use as a cover to bind my fic ‘Crossing Swords with the Pirate Captain’. She is beauty. She is grace.
