Silhouettes of Ed and Stede in a snowy landscape at sunset. The sky is blue, orange, and pink, and there are trees in the background. It's snowing, and you can see the breath, which is blooming into a heart shape. The words "Cheers to 2026" are in the lower right corner of the illustration.

SCORE

But fr I'll take it bc I have felt like garbage for the last two weeks and it's reaching the point of "will I ever feel normal again?"
(I will, I know, just wish I didn't have to waste my entire break from work feeling various levels of nausea every day 😭)

Here's a look back on some of the various Eds and Stedes I drew this year! My goal last year was to draw more Stedes - and I accomplished that goal 🙌🏻

Looking forward to another year of practice drawing them (and maybe some hockey boys too) 🥰💜✨

HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVELIES 💖💖💖

chapter 5 of Closest to Heaven is here, in which Ed tries a bolder strategy 👀 which @deanbird.bsky.social has brought to life in the most incredible way 🫠💖

Young Ed with his hair in a bun, wearing earrings, a heart ring leather choker, and a cropped black Skillet t-shirt. While Stede slogs through an incredibly boring chapter of a heavy Business Finance textbook, Ed lies opposite him on the bed playing Pokémon. He’s come quite far since Stede let him borrow his Gameboy. It doesn’t really make it easier concentrating on reading when he knows Ed is doing something much more interesting just a few feet away. It also doesn’t help that Ed is lying with his legs propped up and parted enough that it’s possible for Stede to see right up his skirt. God, he shouldn’t, he really shouldn’t look, he feels like a fucking creep—it’s not right, Ed is allowed to lounge in the exact same position as he is, no matter what he’s wearing. Shouldn’t have to be self-conscious, Stede would hate that, but it’s just so hard not to look. He feels so fucking guilty for it, but Ed is wearing panties, pink and zebra-striped and with a little bow at the front and everything, and Stede didn’t know this was something he’d be obsessed with, unable to stop sneaking glances at. Luckily, Ed is entirely occupied by his game and doesn’t seem to notice how often Stede’s gaze drifts from the ink on the page to the much more interesting ink visible through the fishnet stockings, dusted with dark hair that grows darker and coarser the further up towards the lacy fabric edge he lets his eyes wander. He can’t help but imagine what it looks like where it’s darkest and coarsest. With an enormous effort, he forces his eyes back to the text in front of him. He’s been reading the same paragraph for fifteen minutes, absorbing nothing. Sighing deeply, he starts over once again.

I feel like I’ve been wasting all my holiday time off being sick with this sinus infection. I had grand plans to recharge with artmaking, but the constant headache makes it hurt to look at anything for too long except for the inside of my own eyelids. Anyway, baby needs a hug.

Digital cartoon sketch of Ed Teach from OFMD in three-quarter profile. The style is one of washy navy blue ink tones. His big beautiful eyes are cast somewhat meekly to the side and he looks like he could use a hug.

Hi there. Isn't it interesting how the most popular TV shows and movies this year (Sinners, Kpop Demon Hunters, and Heated Rivalry) were all hyper specific stories, proving that "universal appeal" (i.e. appealing to white straight folks) is not actually that appealing?

After crying a little at their mention in that Top 100 Kisses video I needed to share some of my favorites I've drawn. I love their first on-screen one so much. It's so soft and earnest. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath
Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is wearing his timeout sack and collar. Stede is wearing the red cursed suit frilly shirt. Stede is clutching Ed's waist while Ed cups Stede's face. They're heatedly kissing in moonlight, not taking it quite as slow as they did in the show. Six illustrated panels of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're sharing a first kiss. A series of drawings of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're close crops on Stede kissing Ed's forehead, wrist, palm, knuckles. The last is of Ed's hand over Stede's on his chest. Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Stede is holding Ed's face with one hand and kissing his forehead. Ed's eyes are closed. He's smiling as he touches Stede's hand on his face.

I’m going to watch Heated Rivalry at some point. And I’m sure I’ll love it. And its success can only be a good thing.

BUT GODDAMNIT HBOMAX GIVE US OUR GAY PIRATE SHOW BACK.
