Hi loves 💞

42.9% of Australians experience depression, anxiety or SI at some point in their lives

At the end of March I'll be participating in a take on Ed's float tank: The 20 Hours for 20 Talk.

I'll be confined to a 2x2m square for 20 consecutive hours. No talking, no tech, no stimulation (1/3)

That was @cliopadraart.bsky.social 😁 The "plap" always gets me
7 panel comic of Blackbeard rising kraken-like from the sea. Panel one: the bundle of Ed's leathers at the bottom of the ocean, from S2 ep 7. Panel 2: A hand reaching down from the top left of the frame, reaching for the bundle. Panel 3: Ed, dressed in his fisherman outfit, picking up the bundle. Panel 4: a large wave crashing on the beach. Panel 5: Ed, topless, struggling to stand up on the water, going "Hnngrk." Panel 6: Ed, standing, naked except for purple boxer briefs, still struggling to put on his soaking wet leathers. Panel 7: Ed has faceplanted in the sand with a loud "Plap," purple-clad butt in the air, leathers around his ankles and wrists

still my fav ofmd art ever, drew this one right before s2 aired last year 💐🗡️ #ofmd #ofmdart #gentlebeard
painting of edward teach and stede bonnet from ofmd, based on a j.c. leyendecker painting. ed is in the red robe, holding a bouquet of flowers and looking down at stede wearing a red coat, kneeling with a sword and hand to his chest. they look lovingly at each other with butterfly wings and a gold frame behind them.

It’s the cover to a Post illustration and I love it so much.

I did a OFMD fan art homage to it.

#leyendecker
An artistic homage to a favourite Leyendecker painting: Stede, dressed in his anachronistic explorer’s outfit, canonical to the show, tenderly holds the claw-paw of Ed, who is wearing a purple and orange Kraken outfit with squiddy tentacles. This riffs off the original which shows a young man tenderly holding the claw of a girl in a dragon outfit. As a fan artist, I attempted to replicate hallmarks of Leyendecker’s style digitally, including sharp angled clothing folds, crisp edges, and a neutral background providing prominence to the central figures.

a drawing of ed and stede from our flag means death. a reinterpretation of their first meeting in season 1 episode 3. stede it laying comically lifeless on deck in his all white outfit, covered in blood. ed is laying on top of him kicking his feet in a cutesy way. there’s flames behind them. there’s text that reads “love at first sight”

It's WIPWednesday so have this as proof of life. And yes I've completely stolen @serpentanddahlia.bsky.social's chaos drafting method
Stede licks food off his lips and fingers…teasing, tosses back his wine like a flirt and touches Ed more than he has all day. They start kissing and it gets a little heated, Ed pulls back and presses his forehead to Stede’s. There's heat that’s been building all day rushing to the surface and demanding attention. He forgets that there are other things to do with mouths and hands and tongues, and sets them to work, hurrying toward an end. “I should probably be a good boy and go home, you know,” he says. Ed falls against Stede’s side with a huff. Good boy. Jesus. “Thought we already established that being good is boring.” Starts to kiss again and then Spaceship jumps up between them and Stede rolls away, content to be distracted by the cat (but also forming a completely diabolical plan).
