Alison in winter ❄️ @alimasin.bsky.social · Nov 3
Get ready to undo some buttons because on Friday, November 21st, we’re celebrating the Fall Front Friday Fall Festival!

Make something new, share something old, and most importantly, think about all your favorites in fall front pants 🥰

1/2
An extremely cool graphic for the Fall Front Friday Fall Festival. Friday, November 21st. Text reads: "Put your favorite character in fall-front pants! Create something new! Share something old! #FallFrontFriday " The border of the graphic is closeups of fall front pants worn by various characters in Our Flag Means Death, with fall leaves placed over the front of their pants.

What if you suddenly need to see a picture of something that doesn’t exist? Do you use gen aye eye? NO YOU DO NOT! You just hire an artist! And then you can look at your picture!! Look what @pogonr.bsky.social drew for me!! (Prompt was What if Derpy and Sussie from K-Pop Demon Hunters had babies?)
A digital drawing of seven creatures, each with varying combinations of features from the blue-on-blue spotted and striped derpy tiger and black and white Sussie the magpie. Most have two eyes, one has Susdie’s six eyes, and one has four eyes. Two are sitting, one is laying down and wearing a hat, two are standing, one is trying to fly, and one is frolicking. All are very silly and adorable. The background is a textured purple to blue gradient.

Digitally altered production still of Jim & Oluwande from episode 6 (Calypso’s Birthday!) of season 2 of Our Flag Means Death. They’re sitting next to each other and looking over at someone off screen. Oluwande is looking a little pensive, Jim is looking gleeful and a little mischievous. They’re sitting near the railing and we can see some of the beautiful colourful flower decorations behind them. The image has been digitally altered (by @tillychmo) by drawing Santa hats on both of their heads. Handwritten text at the bottom of the photo reads: “THE 15TH DOOR”.

Stede sees the Hot Santa doll on his way through the checkout line at Marshall’s. He has no holiday decorations at his sad divorced dad apartment, what the hell, he thinks. He takes it home. Sets it down while he eats in front of the tv…and how was your day, Santa? 🎅🏽

I’m sorry but what exactly is keeping me from buying up all of these?

And then retiring to my sewing machine with rolls of leather and luxe fabrics and becoming that weird lady with a house full of dolls?
A very very very Ed Teach-ish Graybeard Santa doll wearing a baker’s outfit. He has a gingerbread house in one hand and a gingerbread ornament in the other. He’s wearing an apron that reads “North Pole Baking Co” and has two little candy canes in the pocket. A very up-close shot of another Graybeard Santa with pretty brown skin and lovely brown eyes. It’s giving ‘Ed is making the most of Christmas at the Inn’ vibes.

6 more days of delicacies & delights from the @ofmdsac.bsky.social advent calendar 💖
Advent calendar that looks like Stede's journal from ofmd with these prizes on top: a small jar of marmalade, a red bag with two purple butterfly clips, buttons with the Revenge and Blackbeard's Delicacies & Delights, a sticker of the foot touch, and a lanyard that says "we talk it through as a crew"

A digital illustration of the Yipyips from Sesame Street. They are essentially just fabric tubes with mouths that are either widely agape or closed into a huge underbite, with ping pong ball eyes and curly deelybopper antennae. In the left is a blue one, agape. On the right a pinkish-orange one, underbitten. Between them is an antique radio: wooden in a pointed arch shape with two dials and a lit tuning indicator. Most of the front of the radio is a fabric covered speaker protected by a decorative wooden grille part of which is in the form of lettering reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Making art is like breathing, not in the sense that it's easy but that humans need it to thrive like we need air. Somewhere along the way, we as a species learned that art is this lofty thing that only our best geniuses are allowed to have. We need to unlearn that and discover how to breathe again 💖

It’s quiet here. Quiet and still. It conjures up some ancient memory, a garden long abandoned by the gods who put us here, a loophole they forgot.

The threshold creaks when I cross it.

I let go.

Here's my frame, 243! I decided to stretch my capabilities and carved mine out of clay! #ourflagmeansdeath #ofmd #youdrewmealovelyframe
An unpainted clay tile with a low-relief carving of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They have just taken a breath after kissing, Ed's hand is resting on Stede's face and Stede is gripping Ed's shoulder. Their hair is rendered in stylized flat waves.

I went outside my comfort zone & skill level for my first pinch hitter frame, inspired by Magritte's 'The Castle of the Pyrenees' & 'Golconda'. It's a triptych & I did 10 additional portraits of Ed & Stede for it. Thanks @libroseitm.bsky.social for their help!
Alcohol markers, digital manipulation.
A triptych making up one image, with Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death in the centre. In the sky hangs half a petrified orange, on top of which is the inn they retire to, including the marker for Izzy's grave. One either side, there are multiple Ed and Stedes in the sky above the landscape, from various moments in their past and future. Magritte's 'The Castle of the Pyrenees', a rock topped with a castle hangs in the sky above crashing waves. Magritte's 'Golconda' - men in suits and bowler hats fall like rain in front of buildings.

oh its december, time to post Santa Fang 🎅😘
(done in 2022 for an OFMD 2023 Pinup calendar)
#ofmd
Fang is laying sideways stretched out on a rug in front of a fireplace. He's naked except for a santa hat on his head, and a box wrapped like a present is preserving his modesty. Fang has one hand over his mouth like he's covering a laugh, looking coy. The fireplace behind him is lit and casting a glow around him, with the mantle decorated with garland, a carved figure of Karl, candlesticks, the half of the preserved orange that Stede kept, the fern, the whale paperweight, and four books who's titles are visible as A Christmas Carol, the Night Before Christmas, the Nutcracker, and the Hogfather. Hanging from the mantle are stockings labeled BP (Black Pete, with a horseshoe), L (Lucius, with a quill), WJ (Wee John, with a flame), F (Frenchie, with a music note), J (Jim, with a knife), O (Oluwande, with an orange), S (Stede, half a heart) and E (Ed, the other half of the heart with the stockings hung together to make a full heart), B (Buttons, with a little seagull), S (the Swede, with a siren that resembles the Starbucks logo), R (Roach, with a kitchen knife), I (Izzy, with a swallow), F (Fang, with his fang necklace), I (Ivan, with an axe)

Some Ed Teach details to consider
Cropped screenshot of the right of Ed’s face, with a perfect, beautiful curl of hair coming out of his bun Cropped screenshot of Ed’s tattered shirt sleeve, with bits of octopus and rose tattoo visible on his glorious bicep Cropped screenshot closeup of Ed’s neckline, the pearl necklace, tattoo, tattered shirt hem, lovely strands of hair, and chest hair combo is overwhelming to look at tbh Cropped screenshot of Ed’s right shoulder, with his lovely hair falling down over it in the most perfect curl imaginable

Image description: Stede Bonnet as Hermey the Misfit Elf and Long Ed as Santa Claus in a snowy winter wonderland, drawn in a Rankin-Bass style. Stede's outfit is an amalgamation of his season one teal suit and Hermey's elf-fit complete with oversized lacy with sleeves, white fur collar, and curly-toed elf shoes with cunty little heels and tied with pink bows. Stede is posing with a popped hip, sucking on a red and white candy cane. He's looking up "innocently" at a significantly taller Ed, who is looking back and blushing furiously. Ed's red Santa outfit also includes many elements from his season one look including black biker boots, fingerless black leather gloves, and pointy tooth/horn hook and eye closures on the front. The right sleeve of his long-torsoed Santa suit is cut off, showing off his distinctive tattoos. Below them is a handwritten message in red: Merry "Longmas" 2025

Day 11: Foot touch! Foot touch! Such a key moment in OFMD and in Ed and Stede's relationship, it was obligatory to include it. And I'm pretty sure Stede would want to memory-hole the rest of episode 8:

A drawer of an advent calendar has been removed from the main calendar for a close-up. A small wooden number 11 that is painted gold is on the upper right corner. The faux aged paper is colored tan and the following phrase is printed in black toner: "You came back. Never left." A round vinyl sticker shows a piece of embroidery. It depicts a foot in a black leather boot reaching out to touch another foot in a white stocking and heeled 18th-century style shoe.
