I have finally finished the Orgasms Papyrus, inspired by a real ancient Egyptian one! Here's a video; the music track is called "The Pharaoh is Coming" (thought it appropriate). If printed, the papyrus would be 14 feet long. More info to follow. #OFMD #OFMDnsfw

Next knitting goals: double knit band thingy, v-neck, German short rows, and short row bust darts.

I’m watching a knitting video and the presenter said that knitting patterns are largely based on b-cup size which I…am not 🤣🤣🤣🤣. That explained a whole lottttttt 🙈

• Everyone is ancient Egyptian
• Ed is on the right, Stede is on the left

Ummmm that’s all I can think of.

I’m tired. Made from scratch by me, except the pierogis. Turkey, garlic mashed potatoes, butternut squash and leek soup, cranberry sauce, sweet potato fries, roasted carrots and parsnips with rosemary, roasted Brussels sprouts, corn on the cob, dinner rolls. The pies are pecan, pumpkin, and apple!

Last night I was up until 1:30am with day 1 cooking. I made cranberry sauce, butternut squash and leek soup, three pies: pumpkin, pecan, apple, and dinner rolls. The apple pie crust was from scratch also. Currently the turkey is in the oven! Can’t wait to share the rest 😃 I hurt today 🤣

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm resharing the Thanksgiving chapter from Please Let Me Hold You. Ed in a gingham apron, Stede being bitchy at the grocery store, HEART EMOJI. #OFMD #ofmdfic

archiveofourown.org/works/606381...
Screenshot of a chapter summary of an OFMD fanfic. Text: Please Let Me Hold You by Baladria Chapter 49: Thanksgiving Summary: Just a quick fluffy feast to move us along. Ed brings the pies and a bit extra. Stede overhears an important conversation between Doug and Mary. “I can’t stay very long,” Ed said sadly. “I’m taking all next week off so I can make the pies and of course there’s the dinner. So I’m doing a weekend marathon for charity. All money earned during the marathon will go to the county food bank.” “Ed, that’s lovely!” Stede thought a moment as he registered everything Ed said. “Pies, plural?” Ed looked at him quizzically. “Well, yeah, mate. You’re not expecting me to make just one, are you?” “I mean…we normally just have apple pie,” Stede admitted, uncertain now whether he’d been doing it wrong this whole time. Ed looked affronted by the news. “Just apple? What the fuck, Stede? I’m glad I put myself in charge of dessert. You need at least three! The trifecta! The pie-fecta.” He giggled at his own joke. “Lucius, buddy, come on, back me up here.” “He’s right,” Lucius said, nodding soberly. “Apple, pumpkin, pecan. Those are the big three.”

#TakeTwoTuesday for Midnights at the Revenge, which I’m rereading to do a final little sequel. Please enjoy some angsty fake dating-to pining while fucking-to exes-to lovers. 🌃

If you’re new to it, the first two parts together are one compete story.

I told my mom I want to make my own jeans and asked if she could teach me to use her 35 year old sewing machine. Instead she got me a new one and a craft table to go with it 😱🤯 So I guess I have to sew more than just jeans now 🤣

Y’all, Ed ended up looking like a snack and a half in this drawing I did for @ladypenni.bsky.social

I basically need her to stand over my shoulder every time I draw Ed because 😮‍💨

A digital drawing of Edward Teach from Our Flag Means Death wearing most of his leather outfit, minus a shirt. He has a short beard and long windswept hair. He’s posing with one arm over his head and his jacket hanging off the opposite shoulder. He’s making very hot eye contact with the viewer.

Stede often thinks back on that night in the top. Unfamiliar and soft leather on his skin, warm brandy on his tongue, the smell of spiced tobacco permeating every breath. It was as if the sea had risen with them when Ed's waves caught the moonlight just right. They still do.

Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's leaning over a railing, one hand is on his chin. Moonlight is catching his silver strands. He's wearing a frilled shirt.

The other day, the gc brought up "gray sweatpants season," and I was reminded of the early chapters of Please Let Me Hold You when Ed wears gray sweatpants on his livestream and Stede experiments with the eggplant emoji... #ofmd #ofmdfic

archiveofourown.org/works/606381...
Screenshot of an excerpt of a fanfiction titled Please Let Me Hold You. Text reads: Chat: “it’s great baby” and “not looking at the plants babe. lookin at the sweatpants lol 🍆” and “thought I was the only one hahahaha 🍆” and “dude what? of course you’re not the only one” and “literally all of us are looking at the sweatpants 🤣” and “is @stede looking at the sweatpants? 🍆🍆🍆🍆” and “most important question of the evening” His phone was vibrating. Stede scratched his head wondering if this was some kind of inside joke and decided to play along, because maybe he would learn through experience. stede: I guess so? I mean, I can see that Ed is wearing sweatpants. They look grey on my screen. stede: 🍆. Ed roared with laughter, bent over on his desk with one hand clutching his belly. Stede’s phone seemed to be vibrating at the speed of light. Chat: “FUCKING HELL” and “he did it!!!!” and “oh god yes this is the best thing i’ve seen in my whole life” and “🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆” and “the eggplant oh my GOD” and “WAIT do you guys see he put a whole PERIOD after the eggplant” and “🍆.” and “…… 💀💀💀💀💀” and “I am deceased 🤣” and “I can’t believe he is real” and “this absolute BEAN” and “I just squirted sprite out of my nose and I’m in pain but I can’t stop laughing” and “my mom is yelling at me to shut up because I’m laughing too loud lol” and “PERIOD” and “eggplants are complete sentences now”

Progress on sweater #2! I can’t wait to see the wool magic that supposedly happens when you block it and all those weird bits where the increases happened stop being weird. I hope that’s not a myth! The wool claims to be worsted. It is not. So I went up a couple sizes in the pattern to accommodate

I was a children’s library assistant w/ full time & benefits, 3 courses away from a BA in French. I took an elective on ancient Egyptian literature & during the lecture on Ma’at I had this fated feeling I was going to be an Egyptologist. Had no idea what that meant….

Lemme see if I have any that I qualify as cute 🤔. This one is cute because of Mewatalli (the cat). He elevates the cuteness of everything.
