The title card for "pirates in waiting and storms to be tamed" by suchgreatheights. Graphic compilation created by jackuntiljune. A glowing lighthouse pierces the dark sky. Broad, messy brushstrokes cover the canvas, leaving drips of paint in their wake. The image is moody—broody, even—reminiscent of sapphires Ed's Blackbeard painting style. Fuchsia paint has been splattered over a corner of the canvas, a lighter, whimsical break from all the serious artist business. crop of tuka's art from ch 1 of pirates and waiting and storms to be tamed by suchgreatheights. featured in the crop is the sweetest ed imaginable with his hair half-up and a short beard. he's blushing lightly, looks caught off-guard, and is looking down at something (or someone) out of view.

Having my car and furnace both break within a week and a half during the coldest part of the year feels bad.

Car is now fine. Furnace is toast though. Expensive and stressful couple of weeks 🙃

Morning after 🍆💦🌅

Two panel art of Ed and Stede lying shirtless on the bed, staring deep into each other's eyes in the morning after. Each panel is focusing on one of them.

If you're waiting for an Etsy order, I still can't get to the shipping center. Woke up to more whiteout snow this morning. This winter is insane. It's a 45 min highway drive to the shipper

Hopefully tomorrow will be better. 🙏

Alt S2 opening storyline for Blackbeard that just occurred to me:

Upset about Stede having left him, trying to reinvent himself while having a broken heart, he gets drunk one night, grabs a knife, and gives himself bangs.

Everyone must compliment his new look because they’re terrified of him.

Happy yestivus, lovely Lindie @kninjaknitter.bsky.social 🥰 your voice is the ultimate comfort, like the cosy feeling of a warm summer evening, I tried to capture the vibes a little here for you with our boys! Thank you for bringing them to life, time and time again! ✨

All gone! Thank you to everyone who bought one of these! ♥️

I hope I can get back to doing this kind of stuff again but the affordable shipping place is a 90 min round trip drive and is only open while I'm working so it's really difficult to manage, especially with awful winter weather.

Hi all! I can't currently manage an Etsy shop with my job, so I'm going to have to close it, at least for a while.

I've got 4 Mermen risographs left. If you'd like one, please order by Thursday. Final orders will be going out on Friday! ❤️

They made booping each other's noses a contest. It's a race to get the first nose boop of the day. Ed's lost count. Stede's journal says 12 to 18 in the last month.

(Little sketch during D&D tonight.)

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're touching noses and smiling. Stede is holding Ed's cheek and Ed is holding Stede around his waist. They're gross in front of your salads.

Digital watercolor illustration of Edward Teach in front of a waxing gibbous moon wearing the rice sack onesie and super tight cat collar from OFMD season 2 episode 5. He is holding the beast (fish) he conquered, hip cocked to one side and coyly looking up through his lashes at the viewer. The pose and overall composition is an homage to The Moon by Alphonse Mucha.

I have been having an excellent holiday that mostly consists of obsessively playing Blue Prince, doing puzzles, reading The Locked Tomb series and eating Christmas cookies. If you haven't heard from me, sorry, I've been in my cozy bubble. I'll return to being a person next week. ♥️

happy wednesday, folks! the (long) conclusion to elbows on the counter is now up on ao3 💍📃 ed is finally about to have some words with his husband, though probably not the ones stede expects to hear. maybe stede will have some unexpected words in response?

enjoy! archiveofourown.org/works/75347531
title image for the fic "elbows on the counter" by suchgreatheights. visible in the image are two people sitting at a counter island. between them on the counter are two plates with bread on them and two glasses of orange juice. one of the people sitting at the counter is holding a frying pan and sliding fried eggs onto the plates in front of them. screenshot of the summary of "elbows on the counter" by ao3 author suchgreatheights: Summary: The day they get married, the things he knows about Stede could fit on a post-it note. First: he’s fucking rich. Second: he needs a husband to stay that way. Third: he is built like a brick shithouse. Pretty eyes, nice hair. Penchant for weird socks. (Or: 5 times Ed doesn't tell his husband he loves him + 1 time he does.)

surprise, ch 5 of elbows on the counter has arrived, along with a gift from @mossgroves.bsky.social! 💍📃 it's the holiday season for the elbow boys, which means fancy parties, a bit of dress-up, and a whole lot of avoiding feelings!

things go... unexpectedly. 😳🔥

They're the loudest at the party. And the first and last to karaoke. There's an annual bet in the friend group over how long before Ed calls the nibbles 'whores derves'. Stede suspiciously wins the bet every year. It's three years before their friends catch onto the fuckery. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath
Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death in modern day ugly christmas sweaters. Ed is sticking his tongue out and doing devil horns gestures and is wearing a purple and black sweater that says "woke and gay apparel". Stede is giving a thumbs up and laughing while wearing a lopsided Santa hat and a green and black sweater that says "Don't Krampus my style". There's a lurking figure of Krampus to the side of the text. It's ten minutes into the party, they've already had all the spiked punch.
