Hey #OFMD people who also happen to be knitters/crocheters.

Long Dog Yarn is bringing back some colorways, and this month will be featuring Our Flag Means Death and Safe Space Ship.

I got these when they did the OFMD colors (colorways names in the alt text).

www.longdogyarn.com/collections/...
4 skeins of variegated colored yarn. From left to right: Pink with some orange, called "Your Last Act on This Planet Will Be Surrendering to a Woman." Shades of warm purple and pink, called "Massive Aggression." Shades of cool blue-purple, called "Calypso’s Birthday." Teal with some purple highlights, called "You Wear Fine Things Well."

Back on my paper house bullshit finally setting up a little scene! Don’t have much wall decor yet so they get bunting for now 🥰
Paper Ed and Stede in their living room sitting on the sofa together. Stede is reading a book while Ed chats and giggles. They both have mugs of tea on little tables next to them, there’s also a framed picture of the two of them on the bookshelf and a basket of folded laundry on the floor

I'm scared to get close,
and I hate being alone
I long for that feeling
to not feel at all
The higher I get,
the lower I'll sink
I can't drown my demons,
they know how to swim
Ed dragged under the sea by tentacles, a broken ship sinking with him far in the distance. its a very subtle metaphor. to be fair you have to have a very high IQ to understand rick an --

Started right on the 1st with a short animation, looking forward to doing more! Then ended the year with a serving of sweetness, most definitely a pawfect christmas 💛
Frame from a short animation of puppy Stede with his tail wagging fast, waiting for kitty Ed to ask what he found running through the folliage. His clothes are all askew from running, sticks and leaves stuck in his hair and pants, and his hands are clutched in from of him. He's looking down at his hands and up at Ed (off screen) repeatedly Illustration of a scene from 'A Pawfect Christmas', written by lovely thisreader on AO3. Marmalade is looking at Ed and Stede hugging and crying happy tears next to the shiny christmas tree. Marmalade has her christmas outfit on, a green collar with sleighbells and a reindeer antler band. Stede has a christmas sweater that matches Marmalade's outfit, while Ed has a loose and cosy burgundy sweater and a black wool skirt

Actually I think that was my first OFMD art ever, unless you count cosplay stuff. It was also my first time doing people of any sort in my applique pieces! And it’s all been downhill (uphill?) from there 😌

fic #5 of 2025: With A Little Help From Our Friends

published december 25 | 3,806 words | rated T

favorite thing about it: getting inspired by @emcolbs.bsky.social's ideas and art was so lovely, and writing the ending made me emotional in a good way

archiveofourown.org/works/76380546
Graphic for the fic With A Little Help From Our Friends. The background is green with snowflakes and a pink-ish title in a handwriting font and some hoofprints around it. Summary: “All right, fine!” Stede admits, throwing up his hands in defeat. “Everything’s a mess and I think the party is ruined.” Fang glances up, expression neutral in a way that suggests it took some effort. “The party you announced twenty minutes ago?” — When Stede's promise of a snowstorm in the Caribbean (shockingly) falls through, he's desperate to make it up to the crew. But throwing a party with no decorations, not to mention a creeping sense that it's not really about the party at all, might be harder than controlling the weather—at least, until he gets a little help from his friends.

Some #JeffreyFettering Weekend art from @emcolbs.bsky.social and @intheblanketfort.bsky.social
OFMD Rare Ships ‘25 - So much art! On the slide are two art pieces. First, art by @/emcolbs.bsky.social showing a polaroid style photo of Stede Bonnet and Jeffrey Fettering smiling together. Second, art by @/intheblanketfort.bsky.social showing Jeffrey Fettering and Ed Teach. Jeffrey stands blocking a janitor’s door and looking alarmed, while Ed stands in front of him with his back to the viewer. A glowing pink light surrounds their hands, which are touching.

Last art of the year! 🥳✨️✨️

THE friendship that means so much to me, Ed and Fang 🥹

Making art this year kept me going, along with getting to spend time with my friends and this community

Here's to next year being filled with even more love, kindness and community 💛

#ofmd #ofmdfanart
Fanart of Ed and Fang celebrating the holidays by baking heart shaped cookies, enjoying nice cups of coco together. Fang is wearingna dark green sweater with a fish pattern on it while Ed wears a black sweater with a Kraken stretching across his body. Both are wearing Santa hats. Ed is holding a tray of freshly baked cookies wearing shark oven gloves. In front of them is Ed's counter full of cookie dough with heart shaped holes cut out of it with cooked cookies off to the side . A green garland with a purple bow in the center decorate the edge of the counter. In the background a purple tea pot with tentacles on it sit on the kitchen counter along with a bowl of sugar cubes and cream. On the wall hangs 2 portraits of Fang's chihuahua and Ed's cat. Both are wearing small party hats. A string of Christmas lights hangs on the wall above them.
