Alison in winter ❄️ @alimasin.bsky.social · Nov 3
Get ready to undo some buttons because on Friday, November 21st, we’re celebrating the Fall Front Friday Fall Festival!

Make something new, share something old, and most importantly, think about all your favorites in fall front pants 🥰

1/2
An extremely cool graphic for the Fall Front Friday Fall Festival. Friday, November 21st. Text reads: "Put your favorite character in fall-front pants! Create something new! Share something old! #FallFrontFriday " The border of the graphic is closeups of fall front pants worn by various characters in Our Flag Means Death, with fall leaves placed over the front of their pants.

Tues is my busy day, so I don't usually get to participate in #OFMD #TakeTwoTuesday but someone just left the sweetest comment on Something Wicked This Way Comes
"This feels like a love letter to... scientists working for the public good" & I got a lil misty-eyed💕
archiveofourown.org/works/506880...
Title: Something Wicked This Way Comes By: blooming_aloe Summary: Edward Teach leads the world's best epidemic investigation team, but it's getting to be a bit of a grind - every case seems to be the same - and he's bored out of his skull. When Stede Bonnet, a staff scientist with the CDC, alerts the WHO to a possible disease outbreak in the United States, Ed's team is sent to look into it. As far as first impressions go, Ed thinks that Stede's an incompetent idiot, and Stede is convinced that Ed's an arrogant ass. They're in a race to figure out what the virus is, where it came from, and how to stop it - a task that's made more difficult when the hosts of a popular YouTube conspiracy theory channel claim that the virus was created in a lab and released on purpose. But just because something is a conspiracy, that doesn't mean it isn't true.

so i talked to one of the bushes at the super bowl

What it was like to be a bush at Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance
The bushes on the field during the halftime show became a meme after the internet found out they were actually human performers.

Today I wrote about the racist accommodation to the racist response to Bad Bunny's Super Bowl show; the moral hazard of extending good faith to those who act in bad faith; and how alienating white bigots is actually part of the solution, not a part of the problem. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

do Not disturb
#steddyhands
Stede and Ed are asleep in Stede's bed, with Stede on his back, one hand resting up by his head. Ed is on top of him, their faces pressed together. Both are asleep, mouths open snoring. In the gap between Stede's stomach and Ed's chest, the shadows are pitch black, and a pair of glowing white eyes glares out from the darkness. A faint x is visible beneath the right eye.

He was so much fun to draw, & I wanted to make something medieval-inspired for so long. 🍑

Stede would be the ultimate annoyance at a rally with his butt-trumpet 😂. Now I just need to figure out an Ed to go with him. 💭

A medieval-inspired digital drawing of Rhys Darby as Stede Bonnet’s butt, which is also his face/head. He’s playing a trumpet, & a pair of legs with stockings and heeled shoes are his body.

THREAD.

A selection of notes I have made in my notebook about my dad, and the things he does.

1. The Public Swimming Pool
My dad has come to an arrangement with the public pool in Nottinghamshire where he swims: after everyone else has got out of the pool, he is permitted to do a somersault before he gets changed. “THEY OPEN UP THE STORAGE CUPBOARD AND LET ME GO IN THERE SO I CAN GET A GOOD RUN-UP,” he said. Last week my dad, who will be seventy in August, got his friend Malcolm, who is seventy-three, to film the somersault. “It’s shattered all his illusions,” my mum told me. “Until he saw the film he thought he was creating poetry in motion. But it’s really just an old bloke who can’t run fast doing a sideways flop.”

A black and white cartoon style digital drawing. From left to right: a pelican wearing a knit beanie with his beak wide open; coming out from the pelican’s beak bag is a crab holding a big top hat in one claw with the opening of it up like a bucket; the top hat is full of water and a smiling fish is popping out of it sticking out his long cartoon tongue; on the tongue is an open scallop shell showing the grinning scallop inside; and flying out from the scallop shell is a little ghost wearing a pirate hat with a skull and crossbones on it. A series of speech bubbles follows this progression with each participant speaking one word of the phrase ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

such a perfect surprise - a Heated Rivalry co-stars Gentlebeard AU

rated E | 14k words

Ed Teach and Stede Bonnet are cast as the stars of the new gay hockey show Heated Rivalry. Is their chemistry as real as it seems onscreen?

🏒🍆🍑 archiveofourown.org/works/78865261

#ofmd #ofmdfic
the promo picture for the show Heated Rivalry. a vague blurry hockey stadium with sensual red and purple lighting is the background. the text reads "such a perfect surprise" with a sub-heading "A Heated Rivalry Co-Stars Our Flag Means Death AU." two men face off on the bottom of the image: the characters Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov with pictures of young Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby's faces photoshopped badly onto the originals.
