THE FIRST PERSON TO FINISH THEIR HOOP! Look how beautiful it is! Gaze upon the teeny tiny stitches! I'm so proud and also in awe

I am so glad that @thesearethekids.bsky.social put together this #OFMD embroidery kit - it has kept my hands busy during a really stressful time and I am hooked 💜

I considered going back and redoing the early sections, but I kind of love that this tracks my improvement over the past 2 months 🥹

Technically it’s not WIPWednesday here for another hour but I am once again bored & trapped in the car so I’m writing divorce boys on my phone

Ed gave Stede his new number. Everyone’s being on their best behavior about it (cw: light sexting)

Ed: do you ever wonder if it was really that good?
Stede: hello, Ed
If what was that good?
Ed: us. The physical part, I mean. I know the other stuff was real, I’m not saying anything about that
Stede: oh. No, I do not wonder that
Ed: I dunno man. We were 22. Could’ve just been the magic of perpetual boners.
Stede: that wasn’t it
Ok, that wasn’t ALL of it
Ed: but how do you know?
Stede: no one has ever made me feel the way you did
And I’ve never made anyone feel as good as I did you, I know that much
Ed’s speechless
Stede: and I hope you don’t mind me saying this…
Ed holds his breath
Stede: but if I could have you again tomorrow, I know with utter certainty that I could have you crying into the pillow case, begging me to come within the hour

Jesus Christ
Ed should stop. He should tell Stede to stop.
Ed: awfully confident, aren’t you?
Stede: you’re a five minute walk from me. Come over and we’ll see
Ed lets out a shuddering breath. This is bad bad bad
Why can’t he stop?
He stares at his phone, unsure what to say
Stede is typing again
Stede: I still know your body. I remember every inch of it. I know the way your feet flex when you’re about to come and the spot behind your ear that makes you go breathless when I kiss it and the fact that your left nipple is more sensitive than the right and that you don’t like to ask for it but you’ll go all dreamy and floaty if I lie down on top of you with my full body weight after you come.
Dots
Ed is having a nervous breakdown. But, like, a horny one.

Stede: I never forgot any of it
Stede: I also know your left hand is resting low on your stomach, and as you read this it’s just starting to flirt with the waistband of your underwear right now
Fuck. Ed’s hand froze, the tips of his fingers just starting to creep beneath the elastic. He hadn’t even realized he was doing it
Ed needs to regain control of the situation
Ed: ok, stalker
Stede: fuck
Stede: come over, please
Stede: do you want me to beg? Because I’m not too proud

I was pretty sure I wouldn't be done with my Halloween fic by the end of October before surgery, and now I'm certain it's going to be super delayed. But here is some amazing art I commissioned from @mossgroves.bsky.social of GB as the parents in Hocus Pocus!

Ed lost a bet, so Stede got to pick their costumes. Here they are at the Spanish Jackiez Karaoke Halloween Party dressed as thr parents in Hocus Pocus.

ofmd grew its following thanks mainly to word of mouth, got renewed because its fans loved it so loud and hard, and nearly two years after its inexplicable cancellation is showcased in the “popular tv” category on hbo max. that’s some powerful art.

Buy a pair for outside and use skate parks to practice. Or change your wheels, outside and rink ones.

I love skating and would do this if I were younger. I have skates but I’m not steady enough to do it any more. But keep practicing, you’ll get there. I just dream about still being able to boogie bounce.

Another #wipwednesday for the rapidly approaching #ofmdbb25!

Stede, distractedly thinking thoughts...

#ofmdfic #ofmd

There is something happening, Stede is sure of it. It's been decades, sure, but Stede knows Ed. He learned to read those colors all those years ago. He knows the anxious greys and blacks infiltrating Ed's bright hues. Even if the decisive purple itself is…new…there's something about it all that's not sitting right.
Maybe it's his own fault.
Maybe he should have never spoken Ed's name into existence in that orange juice aisle. Should have just swallowed it down and let it sink there, to the pit of his stomach, safe and kept. A secret. Maybe that's all Ed actually wanted.
It was pretty weird, after all. A true Stede Bonnet Special: weird.
Stede sits with that for a moment, wondering if there's really anything he can do anyway. He’d spent the week visiting the shop near-daily. He’d spent countless hours on increasingly fruitless internet searches: Ed, short grey beard, long charcoal hair. Ed, six foot zero. Ed, beauty manifest in moonlight. He’d wandered out to his favorite mountain overlook the night prior simply to get away from Mary’s watchful gaze. Because Mary notices.
And now, Mary notices Stede's distraction when he wanders through the kitchen for some breakfast tea. Watches as he dumps salt instead of sugar. Watches as he realizes too late.
“Oh! God!” Stede sputters, spitting the tea back into the cup. Mary’s still watching as he wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, face scrunched and bitter.

Sometimes I remember worrying that I was embarrassing when I started sharing my fanart. I fell so hard & so fast for our pirates. Then a pro comic artist I really look up to just out of the blue told me my OFMD stuff was "beautiful work". It was like he knew I needed to hear it right at that moment.
