What a stede-coded color palette too!! Mine looks like this (but now that I'm looking at our profile pictures.... That's probably the colors they're going off of 😂)
A word cloud made from words in user Deanbird Bsky posts. The biggest word is OFMD, followed by One, Ed, and OFMDfanart.

Hello I drew SharkEd in all his glory and I think it's maybe one of the best fic arts I've ever done? 🦈🦈

GO READ THIS STORY ITS SO GOOD
Half-shark Ed lying in a cave fill of stalactites and stalagmites. He has a large tail and a dorsal fin as well as two long penises between his legs. The rest of him looks fairly human, but he has tiger shark stripes all over his back, tail, legs, and arms. He has long wave gray hair and his long beard looks like anemone or garden eels, moving independently. His hands are webbed and be has a purple glint to his eyes. His legs are under water that's lapping against the shore.

Hey I have a #WIPWednesday! And it's for FotA! Finally! 🥰💜 🐦‍⬛🦆🦅
They continue up the trail, stepping softly and straining their ears for any sort of sound that's out of the ordinary. Ed's nerves are alight with the hunt, and that's a miracle in itself. He hasn't felt this excited about finding a bird in months. "Oh Ed, look at this!" Stede's whisper cuts through the quiet and Ed's heart jumps. He shuffles closer to Stede, scanning the area frantically with his headlamp, but he can't see anything moving besides the shadows from his own light as his head turns back and forth.

The goldfinches have been hanging on for dear life in this wind. Perfect day for warm tea inside under a big fluffy blanket!

The inspo pic for this cutie!!

#OFMDfanart
Two sketch drawings of a modern Ed Teach with his full beard. He's wearing a white T-shirt that has a grumpy looking skull with kitty ears on it. On the left, Ed's expression is skeptical with a furrowed brow. On the right, his eyebrows are high, and his eyes are big and shiny, like he is surprised and flustered by what he is looking at.

Paging Dr. Teach!

#OFMD #OFMDfanart
A photograph of Taika Waititi acting as a doctor in a show. I have illustrated Ed's long charcoal gray hair over it the image, swept up into a messy bun with tendrils of hair sticking out along his temples and around the base of his neck. His eyebrows and beard have been darkened. It looks like Ed Teach in a Doctor AU. The words "Ed Teach" are in yellow to his left, where on the original it reads "Taika Waititi."

Celebrity Ed, giving a TedTalk on _____

#OFMD
A modified version of a recent Getty Images picture of Taika Waititi speaking on a. Stage into a microphone and holding his phone, originally credited to Unique Nicole. The image has been manipulated with a digital paintbrush to give Taika long hair tied half-up, like his character Ed Teach from Our Flag Means Death. He also has Ed's tattoos, and a skull and crossbones on his white T-shirt. The Getty images credit has been switched to Lucius Spriggs, another character from the show.

🫂 The sunset was beautifully pink and red last night before owl banding 💜
Sunset over a wide open field lined with trees. The horizon is blazing orange and pink, while intermittent blueish purple clouds take up the rest of the sky.

Clap. CLAP.

#OFMD #OFMDfanart #OurFlagMeansDeath
An illustration of Ed Teach from Season 1 episode 4 of Our Flag Means Death in a black and white sketch against a pale brown background. He's wearing Stede's white lacy shirt and black cravat with his hair down. He's looking intensely at the viewer. The image cuts off at his mission and biceps, but you can tell one arm is stretched out to gesture to something on his right side. There are sparkly stars in the air around his head and also in his eyes. His eyes also have little hearts!

It's Modern!Ed - why is his expression like that? What's he looking at? Why is his hand like that? Tell me your headcanons!! Just for fun

#OFMD #OurFlagMeansDeath
An illustration of Ed Teach from Our Flag Means Death in a modern outfit. His shirt is sleeveless and sheer with a mock-turtleneck and he's wearing a pearl necklace. You can see a pierced nipple and his hawk tattoo beneath. He has creased white pants, but the image cuts off at his hips. He's holding one arm around his middle, and the left hand is bent, palm raised up. His tattoos are on full display on his arms, and his hair is soft and wavy, but the expression on his face is a mix of surprise and interest, as his eyes sparkle. The image is mostly brownish with dark and white colors, but he is outlined in lime green and has a starburst of green behind his head with three brighter star shapes next to his temple.

At my local bookshop - it smells like a beautiful mixture of floral and spice... Exactly like I'd expect of a modern Ed Teach 🥰🥰

Happy Halloween!! 🎃🎃

#OFMD #OFMDfanart
Ed and Stede in Halloween costumes against an orange background. Ed is a black cat, in a black onesie with a collar that has a bell, a tail, and a headband with cat ears. His face is painted with a pink nose, black whiskers, and eyeliner. He's holding a candy bucket shaped like a jack-o'-lantern. Stede is dressed as a witch with a black hat, cape, and pants. He wears a blue blouse on top with a darker blue vest that has stars all over it, and is holding a staff with a blue gem at the end. The words "happy Halloween" are written in yellow script at the bottom.

He DEMANDS them!

#ofmd #OFMDfanart
An illustration of Ed Teach in a white T-shirt with a cat drawn on it. The cat is holding a knife, and there are words scribbled on it reading "FOREHEAD KISSES NOW!" There are stars and hearts around Ed and he has a squinty, smiling face that's just asking for a smooch.

The four letter banding code for Killdeer is "KILL" - very apt for the season!! 🎃🎃
A pumpkin carved with the image of a killdeer, a shorebird. The word KILL is carved in capital letters above it. It's late afternoon and the sun is shining on the table and the pumpkin, which has been tilted so the sunlight almost acts like the candle lighting up the jack o lantern.

Ohhh my gosh yes so gorgeous 😍 ours is this one, about 15ft tall. It's big, but it looks like some of these are bigger, and more colorful! Someday I will see them!
A tall green glass structure. It's made of hundreds of twisting and curling arms of lime green glass sticking out from a center cylinder-like shape.
