Daily bunny no.3109's seafaring days are behind him

A bunny, dressed like a sea captain, smokes a pipe as he sits on the roof of his tavern in a town by the sea. The tavern is called "The Birb & Bun", and there are a few seagulls on the roof with him, relaxing. At the entrance to the tavern, younger sailor bunnies are on shore leave.

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 🥹

OFMD WHUMPTOBER: EVENT INFO & RULES

OFMD Whumptober is a month long prompt based event for October 2025. Each day will have a different set of whump focused prompts for your inspiration and creation! All forms of creation are encouraged - Fic, Art, Edits, Media; whatever floats your ship. This is an event for all of OFMD, no specific characters or ships - so have fun with it!

There are three to five prompts for each day, including physical whump, mental whump, dialogue prompts and a few general tags. Not one day is the same! There will also be a list of “Alt” prompts that you can use for inspiration on any day! You don’t have to use every prompt in list - use one, use them all, use a few, it’s up to you and what fits best! Same goes with participation: if you participate for one day, or you participate for every day, you’re still a valid participant!

Have a prompt you want included? Navigate to the NGL linked below and fill it up with tags! Don’t have NGL? Just DM @ofmdwhump and I’ll stick your prompts on the list! Deadline for getting prompts in is Monday August 18!

If you are creating media to post publicly, PLEASE TAG YOUR WORKS! This is an event that deals with heavy topics that could be triggering or squicks for some. Don’t be afraid to “over-tag”. If you have any questions about this, or would like any assistance, again please feel free to reach out to @ofmdwhump on bluesky.

If you are posting anything to AO3, please post to the collection titled “OFMD Whumptober 2025” (Also linked below!

I just wanted to do something with Ed's back tattoo, give them couple tattoos and have them cuddle. That was the whole motivation for the drawing. #ourflagmeansdeath #ofmdfanart #ofmd #gentlebeard #ofmdseason2 #pencil #drawing 🏴‍☠️🌕🌕
