Hi. Good morning. Did you know they have the same jacket? Or do they share a jacket between them? Did they buy them together at the same time? Feels like it might be relevant to some of your interests…

And my final frame of four:

Since the invention of the kiss, there have only been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.

Ed and Stede dressed like Princess Buttercup and the Dread Pirate Roberts from The Princess Bride. Ed is in her red dress and Stede is in the full black outfit with black sash and mask. They are standing in a field holding each other. There is long grass where beach sand is in the original screenshot from the show, and the fire swamp forest is in place of the hill in the background of the original shot. There are glowing eyes and a small fore visible in the darkest parts of the forest. To the right of the image is a pile of large boulders and a couple more evergreen trees. There are birds flying in the air.

I very seriously want people to be rude, mean and strict about AI.

See a YouTuber using AI? Tell them you hate it and unsubscribe.
See an artist using AI? Tell them to fuck off and block.
See a friend posting AI memes/vids? Call them out.

Ruffle feathers. Debate it. Hate it. Bury it.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

day 521 of posting a picture of edward teach every day until we save ofmd:

Edward Teach in season 1 episode 7 of Our Flag Means Death, wearing a purple t-shirt, a gold chain necklace, and Stede’s black cravat, standing in a jungle in St. Augustine and looking at Stede out of frame with a fond smile

I loooove @thepirateroo.bsky.social & @nospaceforjack.bsky.social's The Gentleman's Guide to Ornithology.

Birding got me into photography again. It's a part of my DNA now. Like this show, like the beautiful stories inspired by it.

The birdbois still mean so much to me. 🧡

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Drawing of modern Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're in warm clothes. Stede is peeking through binoculars and Ed is holding a camera while looking at the tiny bird on Stede's head and smiling. Stede is saying "Oh Ed! There's so many! Tits for days!", completely oblivious to the little bird sitting on his head.

"oh, that's the shape of love"

black and white sketch of ed and stede from ofmd. they're cuddling on a sofa with stede layin between ed's legs against ed's chest. ed's got an arm propped up on the back of a sofa holding a book he's apparently reading but right now he's actually pressing a kiss into stede's hair. ed's other hand has come around stede's shoulder and into the placket of his button up shirt, so we can't see it but it's pretty obvious he's cupping one of stede's tits. stede looks positively blissful. they both have their eyes closed.

I don't think I'll ever get over how deeply unhinged the OFMD Season 2 writers room was like, I thought fandom creators were swinging for the fences but what do you mean Ed found a wedding cake topper of Stede and gave its bride a Kraken Ed makeover and spent night playing with them and crying??

Photo of the bridal wedding topper from S2 of OFMD. Ed gave this topper a makeover using his black makeup/face paint, darkening her hair, adding a beard, drawing on tattoos, and letting it drip down the skirt of her dress. You cannot beat the best at their own game, much respect to the hingeless writers room 🫡

dumb people: taika obviously never even cared about ofmd

taika: spent 3 minutes of an a-list actor/producer panel gushing about how much the show and the way it normalizes queerness + makes so many people feel seen means to him

the deep oceans of fanfic on the internet are so great because, yeah, apparently everybody *does* have a novel in them! it just turns out that a lot of those novels are about transformers being gay together
