A pinned thread for my writing! I write sweet, spicy, often nerdy #gentlebeard stories. Mostly AUs, but a bit of canon era from time to time.

A title card made to look like a scrapbook page. In the middle is a piece of torn notebook paper with the words “Fics by Politest Menace (GayPirateAficionado).” In the upper left corner is a Polaroid showing the one bed Professor boys gazing lovingly at each other in bed. In the bottom right corner is a Polaroid of the pie boys in bed. Both are from art by Sailor’s Ruin. In the upper right corners is a Polaroid of the bug boys at Pride by sweetpotato. In the bottom right corner is a Polaroid of the Parry & Riposte boys in fencing gear by Rysi.

10 haunting photos taken moments before disaster
edward teach meme - altered screen shot from our flag means death s1 ep 7, where ed is standing beneath the tree and a snake is just about to fall on him. (snake enhanced for effect). a table with a roast turkey and other foods are in front of him and his arms are spread as if he's showing off the food. meme made in response to the text post i have qrt'd below, which says: “My Florida family used to have Thanksgiving dinner at a picnic table outdoors under a big oak tree. This particular Thanksgiving my teenage brother carried the glorious turkey out on the platter and a snake dropped out of the tree onto his head. Turkey wound up in the sand and I never saw anyone run so fast or scream so loud!”

#ofmdfanart
Album cover from A Perfect Day by Queen Anne’s Revenge, 2006. Their first hit album that launched the band into the mainstream eye. Featuring the original band lineup. Digital illustration featuring Izzy, Ivan, Fang, Ed, and Jack all in a row standing or leaning against a wall. QAR in large letters is painted on the gray background and text reading A Perfect Day is in the foreground at the bottom right. The band members are all 20 years younger than in the quoted illustration, with the most notable difference probably being Fang’s full head of hair. The band wears various outfits reflecting each of their own styles, but Izzy in particular is wearing almost the exact outfit that he wears in the quoted picture 20 years later. Ed’s expression and eye makeup here imply his kraken era.

He was currently useless as a human-just a whole lot of nothing who was no good to Stede or anyone else. But picking up his phone and thinking of words and then tapping in those words would take effort and energy and spoons that had suddenly vanished. So he didn't.

I have a lot on my plate right now (thank you so much) so there's a few things I can't really show just yet. Here's a scribble that's for me though. #WipWednesday #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath
Very loose sketch of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is half kraken and Stede is a merman. They're smooching. Stede is cupping Ed's face while Ed holds him around his back. Ed's long tentacles are wrapped around Stede's tail.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.
