I am planning to get back to doing featured YOFT artists soon, I hope. If you know me you know my personal life has been an entire disaster for the past six months or so, but all of the folks who worked so hard on it deserve a little love. So look for that in the coming weeks, hopefully!

My husband is a longtime Trekkie, and he’s been saying, “well y’know after TOS was canceled fans started filming their own episodes.” And now we have this, based on a next episode written by OFMD’s creator! bsky.app/profile/youo...

Hey all!

We have had questions about our involvement in the Beach Kiss project. While we support this project wholeheartedly, at this time no co-captains are involved.

Thanks friends. Keep on being amazing. 🥰

This is the official bluesky account for the OFMD fandom art project You Drew Me A Lovely Frame. We wish to animate the Beach Kiss from season 2. Project startup will be on 1 September -25, and invitations will be posted here and everywhere else on that day.

I personally think YOFT is one of the coolest things this fandom has produced (I’m obviously biased, but…) 🥹
david-jenkins.bsky.social David Jenkins @david-jenkins.bsky.social · Jul 30
Before you spend money on that auction, please know that those are only props and costumes. They hold no magic.

The coolest things are the things you made around the show.

I’m ambivalent about auctions around Our Flag that don’t benefit an independent artist or larger cause.

It's been four weeks since #YOFT premiered! Feels a little strange. I went from it consuming pretty much my every waking hour to... not. Weird feelings!

I promise I'll continue featured contributors, my life has just been a trash fire!

Give it a watch again or for the first time. It's worth it <3

Time for more #YOFT featured collaborators! (Sorry for the pause, I've been out of town)

Today our feature is @alandslideofop1.bsky.social! These two pieces with ghostly Stede are some of my favorite individual pieces of art in the whole project, but they did a ton of gorgeous work!
Ed, telling a story about Stede killing the Badmintons, mimes stabbing Nigel in the eye. Behind him ghostly blue Stede does the same, and the silhouette of Nigel is stabbed Ed is telling the story of Chauncey getting shot. He's holding his arm out. Ghostly blue Stede is behind him, hugging him with his eyes closed, and has his arm out holding the gun like Ed is miming A crowd of ruffian inn guests listening to Ed, who is animatedly telling stories, in the front room of the inn Ed grinning with his finger up, telling stories in front of a painting at the inn

And this afternoon's featured contributor is @sweetpotato70.bsky.social ! Sweetpotato did part of the absolutely incredible Badminton sequence, and also jumped in as a pinch hitter to do some gorgeous Ed contemplation. I invite YOU to contemplate the objects on Badminton's desk. 😌

Good morning! Our featured collaborator this time is @sparklespriggs.bsky.social , who did the voice of Fang! Fang's little "I'll never tell. That's no one's business but Izzy's" makes me do this face every time: 🥺

I've said it before but we're so grateful to every person who helped with YOFT!! 💖

Aaand for this afternoon the RNG picked me as the featured contributor, which feels kinda weird, but! We bow to the random number gods.

I'm @gelatinousstand.bsky.social and I co-captained this ship. I also made Izzy's Revenge and some backgrounds, including for the after credits scene!

Think this was from an early draft. It’s real.

Really wanted I’m On Fire in there. Verrrrry $$$ song tho and S2 budget was tight.

Also have no idea how that bulging parenthetical got in there, hate those 😅🫠

Love that this is out there enjoy 💜

Hi folks! I (Juniper) have independently verified the veracity of this (saw it with my own eyes). As it turns out, this came into the YOFT Instagram account, as a result of the project.

The person who shared it wishes to remain anonymous but I can say that they’re probably in a reasonable… 🧵

Extract of a script from Our Flag Means Death S2 E6. The page reads: STEDE: Well, we’re here now. (He looks at Blackbeard for a second, then extends his hand). We never finished our dance. Blackbeard looks at Stede’s hand, a little unsure as to whether or not he should take it. BLACKBEARD: There’s no music. STEDE: There isn’t? I always hear music when I’m around you. Gosh he’s charming. Blackbeard blushes and takes Stede’s hand. As they sway to the imaginary music Stede holds Blackbeard a little closer and gives him a kiss on the forehead. Blackbeard’s eyes brighten. We hear the first instrumental bars of Brice Springsteen’s “I’m on Fire.” The slow rolling percussions pounding like Blackbeard’s heart. He looks up at Stede and gives him a gentle kiss on the lips. As Blackbeard draws back to continue dancing, Stede pulls him for a longer, more passionate kiss. “Tell me now baby, is he good to you? /And can he do to you the things that I do? /Oh no /I can take you higher /Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire” Blackbeard’s head is spinning. He has to sit on the corner of the bed to catch his breath. STEDE (continued): I’m sorr… was that too much? Before he can finish asking, Blackbeard grabs him by the shirt. He pulls Stede down onto him until they’re both lying on the bed. He looks up at Stede. BLACKBEARD (whispers): Again. “At night, I wake up with the sheets soakin’ wet. /And a freight train runnin’ through the middle of my head /Only you can cool my desire. /Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire” Stede smiles. He takes Blackbeard’s face in his hands, taking in the beauty of his features. He gently draws the lines of Blackbeard’s lips with his fingertips. Then he kisses him deeply, pressing his body down into Blackbeard’s as the sounds of the party echo into the room. “Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire / Oh, oh, oh, I’m on fire / Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh” EXT. THE REVENGE, DECK - NIGHT Fireworks explode in the sky as the crew of the Revenge continue their celebration into the night.

Our featured contributor this afternoon is @rileyisokay.bsky.social! Riley illustrated a key part of Ricky's demise -- his choking and eventual collapse, as well as some gorgeous crew reaction shots. (And Jackie going "the fuck", a moment that always makes me giggle)

I did NOT post any featured contributors today because I was busy and not logging in here at all! Which was a weird feeling, because YOFT has been such a priority for months. But I’ll be back with more tomorrow! 💖

Our next featured contributor is the incomparable @mooshy.bsky.social, who did backgrounds for the reception area of the inn! You may recognize them from Ed telling stories about Stede's escapades to the guests!

(Choose a number to pick the next one if you'd like! 1-101)

Our featured contributor this morning is @lyndzi.bsky.social! Lyndzi was our voice actor for Izzy -- a small but important role. Lyndzi had to (got to?) call Ed a twat AND make that gravy basket scene believable!

First off we have @fauxtalian.bsky.social, who helpfully jumped in to cover several areas as a pinch hitter. She ended up bringing us hits like emotionally devastating flashbacks, that Jim/Archie kiss and Ye Olde Setting Powder. (Also, we fucked up and left their EdStede frame out - plz admire!)
