Hi all! As promised, here are the prompts for the Our Flag Means Death reading challenge 📚🏴‍☠️
The goal is to read one book by episode. There’s three possible prompts by episodes, inspired by quotes. The challenge is not timed so everyone can go at their own pace.
#OFMDReadingChallenge

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath #ofmdArt #gentlebeard
Stede and Ed sit on a brown couch, wearing robes, yellow for Stede, and teal for Ed. Ed's feet are in Stede's lap, and Stede massages them, looking down at what he's doing and smiling. Ed watches him with a smile, holding a bottle of nail polish. There's a window behind them showing an out of focus blue sky and forest scene.

Behold.

#OurFlagMeansDeath #ofmd
Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Stede is delighted and clapping as Ed holds up a small fish he caught. Stede is wearing his cursed suit red shirt and Ed is wearing his timeout burlap onesie. Ed is presenting his fish with an open hand as it dangles on a line from his other hand. He's smiling. They're both standing in front of a huge waning moon, bathed in its light.

Sneaking in at the end of the day (my time anyway!) for #ofmdsleepweek ! Day 3 prompt: Sleeping Together

#ofmd #ofmdArt #gentlebeard #ourflagmeansdeath
Ed and Stede sleeping together on a mattress on the floor, sunlight beaming in stripes over them. Stede is starfishing on his stomach across the whole bed, and Ed is curled into his side with an arm around Stede's waist, a leg over Stede's thigh and his head buried so tight into Stede's side and underarm you can only see the mass of his silver curls. They wear white night gowns, Ed's rucked up to show bare legs, and Stede's baring his backside. They both have heart tattoos on an ass cheek with the other's name. Stede also wears a patchy, homemade sleep mask embroidered with hearts. Their blanket has been kicked to the end of the mattress so they're uncovered, and Ed's pillow is mostly on the floor. They're surrounded by belongings scattered on the floor: two 18th century style leather bound books, a feather quill, glasses, and a tea saucer holding rings for Stede's side, and more rings, a small bottle of oil, the black cravat and a homemade looking pillow with clumsy embroidery of flowers, a skull, a snake, and a golden fish tail, on Ed's side. At the head of the bed is their pair of daggers. Straw pokes out of the mattress in a few places.

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.

Second art of the fic "siren's call" A bathroom seen from a high point of view, the bath is filled to the brim with water and Izzy is totally submerged, a smile on this face. The ambiance is peaceful and dreamy, the light coming from a big window next to the bathtub projects long rays for light in the room. The main colors are pink and purple and there's dust floating in the air.

Y’all know I had a recent hospital stay due to chest pain. I received the bill after insurance and it is nearly $18k. So I created a gofundme to get some help. Every little bit helps and even a share is so so appreciated!

X.com screenshot from user @lichthauch that reads: Coffee. Black. No sugar because I don't trust anything that makes this easier. The first sip burns and I let it. Pain means I'm still here. Pain means the night didn't win. I hold the cup with both hands like a man holding his own heart outside his body. Just me and something dark that doesn't pretend to be anything else. Everyone else will lie to me today. This won't

Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's young and in a modern closet. He's sleeping on the floor in a pile of old clothes and blankets. He's dreaming of playing in a tree with a boy that's shining and golden. Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing modern clothing; a jacket, flannel shirt, jeans tucked into hiking boots. He's standing on the edge of a mountain lookout. There's a lake, mountains, and clouds in the background. He's watching a large bird that appears to be shining gold.
