In case anyone needs a laugh - last night when my spouse came to bed, I was snoring. After a loud snort, I rolled over and poked him and said "You're snoring, roll over." So, I woke myself snoring and blamed him, a perfectly innocent bystander. I am full of nothing but class.

Fan art for Free Space by @mustardwrites.bsky.social.
I absolutely adore this story and this Ed 💙

archiveofourown.org/works/61423051
A digital drawing of Ed Teach from Free Space floating in a sensory deprivation tank (a.k.a. alien sex egg). He's laying in the water, looking up at the lid of the tank, speaking. The lid is slightly open, and we can see Stede's hand holding Ed's on the edge of the tank. Stede is wearing a beaded bracelet.

Planet Earth inspired docuseries boys are lovely. 🥹

It means so much to me that I get to play with them in so many settings. Thank you inviting me into their worlds. 🧡

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're wearing modern winter clothing and Ed is holding a camera with a large lens. They're both huddled together behind a rocky outcrop, smiling into the distance. Their breath is fogging in the cold mountain air. The illustration is split to show what they're looking at. A snow leopard is gracefully climbing over rocks. Her tail only just catching the light.

Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's laughing, his face fully scrunched up, his teeth showing.

Timeline cleanse: Yesterday I was introduced to the teporingo (volcano rabbit) — it’s like a rabbit crossed with a pika and is only found on Popocatépetl and three of the other volcanoes near Mexico City: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano...
The cutest, tiniest little round-eared rabbit you have ever seen.

Stay 🕯️
Stay So you've woken in your hospital gown in the shadows. So you're clutching the get-wells in your desperate hands, your heart like crushed doves in your bedclothes. So the body finds its new ways to be torn. But didn't it sing once? Didn't you have a little hymn for winter? Say it. Already you know the answer: What if, just once, you truly listened— to the reaching leaves, to the stranger's breath in the next bed. You hear it? You hear what the body is saying? Remember even breathing is a song. Remember even breathing is a song. —Joseph Fasano

Psst - hey you - check out the KNOCKOUT art by Matt @izzyhandsart.bsky.social for part 1 of my Whumptober series Love in the Time of Payphones. I am...speechless. Look at them! 😍
art by Matt @izzyhandsart.bsky.social of Ed and Stede on the phone. Ed sits on the floor of a red pay phone with many small details, at night, in the rain. He is not talking, just breathing. Stede is on the floor of his pantry at home, phone cord wrapped around his finger, looking upset and listening for Ed to say something. All of his everyday pantry items are behind him on the shelves. Art accompanies the fic Love in the Time of Pay Phones

Illustration of modern day Stede Bonnet posing in front of his fashion exhibition shop. Stede's supported on his left leg, right leg propped on the wooden a-board sign he's leaning against. He's wearing a silky large blouse, open halfway down his chest, a brick coloured wrap belt and calf lenght loose pants in tangerine tones. These fabrics are paired with golden tall ankle boots, pearl and golden shell sock garters that peek right above them, and pearl jewelry decorating his hands, wrists and hair. Stede's holding an open fan over his face, eyes and cheeky grin peeking above its span, and his left hand is slowly pulling a white ribbon from around his throat. The shop's front is made out of dark teal brick, matching the wood colour of the a-board. Both the window and the text on the board read "Stede Bonnet's Summer Linens Fashion Exhibition, 14h30 to 18h00". A verdant garden lit by the sun is seen to the right of the building.
