OFMD, Gentlebeard, season 3. Early 40s, she/her. Minors stay away (sometimes I recommend fanfic). I may block follows from non-pirate fans—nothing personal.🪿🐈‍⬛🕯️🏴‍☠️📚🦄🌈

Realised today I never actually posted this picture of my costume from #WeeCon last week.
Pictur of a person dressed in Stede Bonnets outfit from the pilot episode of Our Flag Means Death. It is a 18th century turquoise coat & breeches with bronze braiding & buttons. There is a darker turquoise waistcoat underneath. Their legs have white stockings & black heeled shoes with white bows.

If you're craving a quick hit of pure fluff, @kninjaknitter.bsky.social and @happydaiz.bsky.social did a great job putting together this 16-minute podfic of one of my Reno oneshots; an established-relationship vignette of sappy domestic Gentlebeard doing their sappy domestic thing in the early 1970s

OFMD loves, what's the last fic you read that surprised you? In a good way! Like, a fic that introduced an element or a story beat you weren't expecting, but ended up enjoying. Or a fic that subverted an expectation or a trope.

If you'd slap a "certified fresh" label on it, I want to know about it!

He's just making sure that Ed knows he passes the John Waters test 😏

Hello! Just a reminder that I have multiple free cross stitch OFMD patterns on my Kofi! Mostly crew patterns (one Stede), varying difficulty. If you are UK crew and would like to try cross stitch but can't afford supplies I will also happily send you some by post 🧵🪡💜
