Can't get the tune of the kids' show, Rosie & Jim, out of my head.
Except it's;
"Archie & Jim,
Archie & JIm,
Tugging along on the old Revenge
Archie & Jim
Archie & Jim,
And Izzy's sometimes is a gusher!"

Fun fact, when Stede meets Ricky Banes for the first time, by the wall of wanted posters; you can see a small poster in the bottom right for PANAMA MARITIME TRADERS!

"Never Left!" My season 3 fanfic started in Nov 23. It's dedicated to my achingly departed brother, Keith.
As well as BEING a thank you to the whole production of #OFMD for breaking the dam that stumped (and still does) my creativity.

On the plus side, from beyond this last chapter edit, most of the plot is laid down. So, from now on, it's just fixing grammar and flow.
But I got 16 down from 12k words to 10k 😬
That's a lotta waffle!

Chapter 16, The Kraken is Born.
This is a LONG one! Like a storm, it's dark! But it has a beautiful rainbow at the end! 🥰
We find out how the red piece of silk is more closely tied to Ed's mother than Stede could've ever guessed!
And what really made Edward Teach become BLACKBEARD!

I'm introducing my friend to #OFMD and she is loving it so far. Managed to finally entice her by saying "Imagine if Monty Python did a sketch with pirates, but gay!" 🤣

Chapter 16 is slowly coming together! The first scene gives me all the feels, finally.

This one ends with Ed proposing to Stede! So, I want it right! But before the break in the clouds, a storm is brewing!

Several flashbacks into Ed's "dark past" and how the red silk connects more to his Mother!

Oh gods, I'm now about to start editng Chapter SIXTEEN, the 12k long deep dive into Ed's traumatic past (or so I wrote!)

Sorry to everyone dealing with my constant editing, but when I read it back, my brain hurt understanding who I was when I wrote it then.

I'm getting better! So is my writing (I hope!) And I'm not using AI! I hate it! And I'm too old to know how to use it! This is pure Lion's Mane!

If any scene can sum up my idea for a season 3, it's THIS one! 🤣
I know Daddy Jenkins wrote one.
But I've literally dreamt this one up!
