The white poppy has been worn for over 90 years, as a symbol of remembrance & peace.

By wearing a white poppy, we remember all victims of war, both civilian & military. We remember those who are so often overlooked, buried under the rubble, suffering from starvation or displaced from their homes.

Wanted to do another tiny Ed tonight. He's ready to introduce the crew to their brave, brave Captain.

#ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath
Small digital drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's dressed in Stede's clothes and his hair is down around his face. His shirt and leggings are white and his breeches are dark orange. He's ready to stare down every crew member until they sufficiently clap.

Reminded to my fellow UK OFMD fans that both seasons are only available on iPlayer for one more month 💔

Line up your alternative methods of viewing in preparation 🏴‍☠️
A screenshot of Series 1, Episode 1 of Our Flag Means Death on BBC iPlayer. At the bottom, it states it is available for just 1 month.

Hark, heare the wynde blowe!
Wacche the sun ryse!
Runninge yn the shadowes:
Curse thy love, curse thy lies.
And yf thou dost not love me now
Thou wilt nevir love me agayne -
Ich kan yet heare thee sayinge:
Thou wouldst nevir breake the chayne

“There. Much better” Ed whispered softly as he rested his chin on Stede’s shoulder.

Boyfriend's pockets are the best pockets. Ed says so. Got to do an illustration for @watchtheflow.bsky.social's toasty sweet 'Bonfire Night'! 🧡

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're wearing modern warm clothing; coats and scarf and gloves. Ed is resting his chin on Stede's shoulder as he shoves his hands into Stede's coat pockets from behind. Stede is giggling, all crinkly eyes and dimples. The night is cold enough for their breath to show and they're lit from below from a nearby bonfire. They're as sticky toasty sweet as smores.

*messy bun ed teach
Ed Teach standing in the captain’s cabin in his leathers and his hair in a messy bun. He’s speaking to Frenchie as he tidies up (Season 2 episode 2 of Our Flag Means Death). Ed Teach standing in profile near the door of the captain’s cabin, he’s in his leathers and has his hair in a messy bun. His head is tilted down and his slut strands hang down the side of his face. (Season 2 episode 2 of Our Flag Means Death.)

First leaked image of Stede Bonnet from filming of Season 3 of Our Flag Means Death
Very potato quality pic of Rhys Darby wearing a blue tee, a black pirate type hat with red fabric embellishment and holding a glass of white wine. He looks menacing in a polite way.

Another Long Day, another stress doodle. Why are my stress doodles always either Ed or cats?
(trick question -- they're the same thing)
#OFMDfanart #OFMD
Profile doodle of Ed in his leather jacket with his pulled hair up in a messy bun, slut strands flying free and pointy earring dangling (the look from S2E3). The coloring is messy, a bleeding watercolor style. The background is a blend of blotchy pink and purple. A white heart frames Ed's head like a halo, his big baby cow eyes are cast skyward, a beatific smile on his face. He looks angelic. He looks like he's never done a thing wrong in his life. He's about to snap.

So I was able to rescue my “lost” Ed/Stede piece from Procreate oblivion by doing some file surgery. But tonight, I just needed to do some low stakes mindless doodling to destress.
Enjoy this scribbly Ed 💜

Our Flag Means Death Reverse Big Bang 2025 story slide. It has a black background, title and links in fuschia pink and white text. On the left is a watercolour picture of Stede and Ed in the boat-shaped gondola of a hot air balloon. Stede is standing at the stern, wearing a white shirt and teal trousers and waistcoat, holding a telescope. Ed is sitting near the bow, wearing purple and holding a map over the side of the gondola. The gondola itself is shaped like the body of a ship. It is striped red, yellow, red, and the yellow is hung with green and orange ribbon. There is a tiny white flying horse at the very bow edge. Strings vanish from the edge of the gondola straight up to where the balloon must be. The sky is blue. Stede and Ed are smiling peacefully.

OFMD truly is the only show for which we keep getting new content over a year after it was cancelled twice 🫶🏴‍☠️
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.
