did you know i really like #whentheangelslefttheoldcountry by @sachalamb.bsky.social ? well, i do
Sketch in red of an interpretation of Little Ash from When The Angels Left The Old Country. It looks like it’s on graph paper. A sketch in steel blue of an interpretation of Uriel from When The Angels Left The Old Country. It looks like it’s on graph paper. Uriel is dipping Little Ash (who is winking) as they both dance in mid air. Uriel’s expression is calmly happy.

Ed from Our Flag Means Death with a bit more eyeliner than usual and two doodle hearts next to him. He's a little sketchy, and his eyes are absolutely sparkling.

my other frame for #ourframesmeanlove - the other one took longer, but this one has the ✨emotion ✨ #ofmd
One frame of the famous kiss scene from Our Flag Means Death drawn in the artist's style. The scene is brighter and has dust motes throughout.

two years ago, 256 artists collaborated to recreate 310 frames of Ed and Stede’s S1 kiss to express our love for this show and these characters. This is the result:

So, what makes Ed happy?

"My dear," he said, quietly, and he put up a hand and wiped away the dampness on Tobias's cheek.

🌲the greenhollow tarot🌱
6: the lovers
choices, relationships, harmony, balance, union
A tarot card in a blocky, textured style depicting a large man (Tobias) clutching a smaller- though average-sized still, man (Silver). Tobias has tears on his face and Silver has a faint smile as he wipes them away. The background has crab apples on a tree in the top left corner and honeysuckles in red and white spilling from the top right corner to the bottom right. The frame shows a "6" at the top, trees on either side frame the piece, and at the bottom it is labeled "The Lovers." The piece is made square by a gradient in the background, starting with sort of a periwinkle and fading to an orange that's very slightly pinkish in the bottom right. The same as the previous image, but slightly closer, in the actual size the card would be.

A riff on the My Chemical Romance Greatest Hits album but with Our Flag Means Death characters. They're in their outfits from The Revenge under Ed's watch from the beginning of season 2. Ed is center stage with a bored expression. To the left is Izzy, looking distraught. By him is Jim, with an unhappy, leaning toward mad expression. On the other side of Ed, toward the right, Frenchie looks rather devoid of feeling, and to the right of him is Fang, with obvious sadness, black tear tracks from the kohl on his face. In front of the crew it reads MASSIVE AGGRESSION in the style of the My Chemical Romance logo.

if you're here for our flag, don't worry there's lots of that. but sometimes I am struck with greenhollow and a spirit overcomes me, forcing me to draw about it (I really love the incandescent and some desperate glory too!! greenhollow just lives in my brain rent-free, with zero care for my sanity)

Almost two years since it was canceled and OFMD is still getting mentioned with beautiful writeups in articles about max's best shows. About best shows in general. It's still popping up in popular categories on fuckin max's main page. I want to scream. One more season. Just one more goddamn season.

this was a request made by a friend- professor ed and nontrad student stede #ofmd #ofmdau
Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death in more modern, academia-type clothing. The palette is mostly red-violet and gray with some pops of red. Ed has his hair up in a bun with plenty of strands falling out of it, and a chain around his neck that hold a pair of glasses. His shirt is a Hawaiian-style shirt, sort of, with flowers, and a few buttons are undone. He's wearing slacks and a knee brace, and his messenger bag has the heart and 3 drops from Blackbeard's flag. He's leaning back on the grass, propped up by his hands. Stede is laying in the grass on his side with a book, propping his head up with his hand. He's wearing a long cardigan with fancy buttons, and a dress shirt covered by a t-shirt. The tee has a black cat licking his paw in the style of the Bonnet flag from the promos. He's also wearing slacks. He's wearing glasses too. Red hearts surround the two as they share eye contact- Stede happily talking about something while Ed watches fondly. Zoomed in picture of the previous one. Here you can better see the wrinkles on their faces and the hearts in their eyes.

if anyone wanted to request a quick #ofmd doodle with a palette... I might be willing to do some of those
Izzy from Our Flag Means Death in profile. He's looking kind of upset but that's fairly normal for season 1. Candles line the foreground- the image is primarily pink and yellow. Just a listing of color palettes. "Anxiety" is a dark blue to green palette. "Sodas and Skateboards" is sort of magenta to cyan. "Guidance" is primarily olive greens. "Constant rambling" is pastel salmon, yellow, and pastel blue. "The Sweetest Chill" is gray, purple, and white. "Saltwater Tears" is varying shades of green. "Damned If I Do" is pink and gray. "Without Heart" is pale blue and pink. "High Fashion" is very yellow to orange to lilac (sort of). "I'm Not Alone (Yet)" is pale grays and white and cream. "Castle In The Sky" is mostly warm with a pop of seafoam. "Pumpkaboo" is a monochromatic palette centered around yellow-orange. "Cherry Soda" is monochromatic around a red-violet. "I (Kinda) Like You Back" is neon green and some shifts to orange. "Omniferous" is light green and magenta. "Blooming" is pale spring greens and pink. "This Is My Swamp" is, predictably, green. "What I Gain I Lose" is a pale palette, faintly purple and pink. "Cyberbullies" is Robin's egg blue shifting to ultramarine blue. "Cool Sunsets" starts with mint, shifting greener, to a teal blue. "Subtle Melancholy" is pale and gray and faintly green. "Conversation Hearts" is bright magenta shifting into bright seafoam. "Tuesdays" is a highly complementary palette of wisteria purple to dandelion yellow, best as I can describe it. "Sylveon" screams trans rights with colors of cream, 2 pinks and 3 blues.

but who here would ever understand that he'd tire of his crown? (and a being made of fine fabrics)

I may be cringe but I'm free #ofmd
Ed from Our Flag Means Death looking suspiciously like Jack Skellington. His head is shrouded in smoke and his eyes are two slashes of red. He has a piece of red fabric in his jacket pocket. The tails on his jacket are more tentacle-like than Jack's classic suit. He has fingerless gloves, a pop of purple dress shirt, and a purple heel on his boots. Text that says "but really-" above a quick colored sketch of the Pumpkin King Ed without his smoke shroud looking bored. He's smoking a pipe but the smoke looks like cartoony ghosts. He's holding his pipe casually. His fingernails are painted black. Stede from Our Flag Means Death looking like Sally Ragdoll. His skin is blue (though he's still managing to blush a darker blue), and he has her customary stitches. His hair is yellow yarn. Instead of Sally's normal dress the patterns are more reminiscent of flowers. He has his black cravat tie around his neck, and on each shoulder he has little poofy fabric swirls meant to approximate flowers, one turquoise and the other mostly turquoise but with a couple patches of purple. Stede Ragdoll's expression is awed! He has tiny llilac hearts in his eyes.

This.

Whenever local government reviews the library budget and asks, "Why should we give you money?"

We want the library to be able to say, "Because we provide a valuable service used by many people!"

Libraries are like muscles, using them more makes them stronger. 💪

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

oh y'all want pirates?? I got lots of pirates. like this one! I lost my mind and did this a couple years ago! #ofmd
Ed from Our Flag Means Death in his "Kraken" outfit from the end of season 1 in the style of The Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel. Rather than wings there are tentacles spreading out behind him in an approximation of wings. The clouds allude to a storm coming. Waves are crashing into the rock he's leaning back against. A red scrap of fabric blows in the breeze. A lighthouse is far in the distance, striped red and white. A zoomed in angry Ed similar to The Fallen Angel. His eyes are covered in kohl, and though angry he's clearly crying. Details of the tentacles, faint gradients smudged out. The suckers are primarily pink but are closer to purple around the edges. Pencil doodle of Ed singing "Life's a hard sad death and then you're deeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaad" with clasped hands and tears on his face. The tracked time of the Fallen Angel-style Ed painting is displayed in the background, circled. It reads 14 hours and 26 minutes active time.

now for something completely different- a cuddle #ofmd
A warm, cozy bedtime cuddle between Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Stede has long hair tied back with red fabric and a tattoo of Ed's name on his arm. Ed has a tattoo of Stede's name on his hand.
