Paging Dr. Teach!

#OFMD #OFMDfanart
A photograph of Taika Waititi acting as a doctor in a show. I have illustrated Ed's long charcoal gray hair over it the image, swept up into a messy bun with tendrils of hair sticking out along his temples and around the base of his neck. His eyebrows and beard have been darkened. It looks like Ed Teach in a Doctor AU. The words "Ed Teach" are in yellow to his left, where on the original it reads "Taika Waititi."

And its now back to:
An image of a night sky with a thin layer of clouds, and no other color than grays and muted blues.

To be fair my sky was this about an hour ago:
Nighttime shot of an overcast sky lit by city lights.

THE SKY HAS CLEARED 🙌 I can join the Aurora party 😍
A night photo of the sky with a large pinkish red splash of color across it. A night scene of a backyard, with a few stars and a reddish tinge to the image. A night photo of the sky with a large pinkish red splash of color across it.

Celebrity Ed, giving a TedTalk on _____

#OFMD
A modified version of a recent Getty Images picture of Taika Waititi speaking on a. Stage into a microphone and holding his phone, originally credited to Unique Nicole. The image has been manipulated with a digital paintbrush to give Taika long hair tied half-up, like his character Ed Teach from Our Flag Means Death. He also has Ed's tattoos, and a skull and crossbones on his white T-shirt. The Getty images credit has been switched to Lucius Spriggs, another character from the show.

🫂 The sunset was beautifully pink and red last night before owl banding 💜
Sunset over a wide open field lined with trees. The horizon is blazing orange and pink, while intermittent blueish purple clouds take up the rest of the sky.

Clap. CLAP.

#OFMD #OFMDfanart #OurFlagMeansDeath
An illustration of Ed Teach from Season 1 episode 4 of Our Flag Means Death in a black and white sketch against a pale brown background. He's wearing Stede's white lacy shirt and black cravat with his hair down. He's looking intensely at the viewer. The image cuts off at his mission and biceps, but you can tell one arm is stretched out to gesture to something on his right side. There are sparkly stars in the air around his head and also in his eyes. His eyes also have little hearts!

It's Modern!Ed - why is his expression like that? What's he looking at? Why is his hand like that? Tell me your headcanons!! Just for fun

#OFMD #OurFlagMeansDeath
An illustration of Ed Teach from Our Flag Means Death in a modern outfit. His shirt is sleeveless and sheer with a mock-turtleneck and he's wearing a pearl necklace. You can see a pierced nipple and his hawk tattoo beneath. He has creased white pants, but the image cuts off at his hips. He's holding one arm around his middle, and the left hand is bent, palm raised up. His tattoos are on full display on his arms, and his hair is soft and wavy, but the expression on his face is a mix of surprise and interest, as his eyes sparkle. The image is mostly brownish with dark and white colors, but he is outlined in lime green and has a starburst of green behind his head with three brighter star shapes next to his temple.

At my local bookshop - it smells like a beautiful mixture of floral and spice... Exactly like I'd expect of a modern Ed Teach 🥰🥰

Happy Halloween!! 🎃🎃

#OFMD #OFMDfanart
Ed and Stede in Halloween costumes against an orange background. Ed is a black cat, in a black onesie with a collar that has a bell, a tail, and a headband with cat ears. His face is painted with a pink nose, black whiskers, and eyeliner. He's holding a candy bucket shaped like a jack-o'-lantern. Stede is dressed as a witch with a black hat, cape, and pants. He wears a blue blouse on top with a darker blue vest that has stars all over it, and is holding a staff with a blue gem at the end. The words "happy Halloween" are written in yellow script at the bottom.

He DEMANDS them!

#ofmd #OFMDfanart
An illustration of Ed Teach in a white T-shirt with a cat drawn on it. The cat is holding a knife, and there are words scribbled on it reading "FOREHEAD KISSES NOW!" There are stars and hearts around Ed and he has a squinty, smiling face that's just asking for a smooch.

The four letter banding code for Killdeer is "KILL" - very apt for the season!! 🎃🎃
A pumpkin carved with the image of a killdeer, a shorebird. The word KILL is carved in capital letters above it. It's late afternoon and the sun is shining on the table and the pumpkin, which has been tilted so the sunlight almost acts like the candle lighting up the jack o lantern.

Ohhh my gosh yes so gorgeous 😍 ours is this one, about 15ft tall. It's big, but it looks like some of these are bigger, and more colorful! Someday I will see them!
A tall green glass structure. It's made of hundreds of twisting and curling arms of lime green glass sticking out from a center cylinder-like shape.

#FicRecFriday for me today will be my own - bc I'll be talking about The Long Gap in fic club this weekend!! 🥰💜

archiveofourown.org/works/580236...
A fic title card showing Ed standing in front of a wright iron gate, looking away from the viewer towards a light blue victorian-style house. There are bushes around the house and it's a little run-down. There is a forsythia bush with yellow blooms hanging over the fence to his right. Overlaid on top of the image are the words "an OFMD AUgust fic, The Long Gap, by Deanbird." There's a little square icon in the bottom right that shows the rating for this fic is T, and there is Morse Code written in dots and dashes in the top left corner reading "They are coming"

#OFMD merch from NYCC - thanks to @poorlyformed.bsky.social and one other booth! 😍

I miss two years ago when Ed and Stede were everywhere 💜
An overhead shot of a table with various OFMD-themed merchandise. There are stickers of Ed and Stede, enamel flag pins, a print of Ed and stede during the swordfight scene, a booklet titled Shiver Me Timbers, and a shirt that says Blackbeard's Bar and Grill. Various other items can be seen along the edges.

Ty!! I based him on this adorable shot of Taika!! 🌸
Taika Waititi from 2025 Paris fashion week behind the scenes. He's in a pink floral shirt with a matching pink floral silk robe. His trousers are gray and just below knee-length and he has red shoes and crew socks on. He's standing in front of a black fabric privacy curtain in what looks like a giant warehouse.

Happy Birthday @david-jenkins.bsky.social ! 💜
Two postcards with Catptain David Jenkins illustrated on the card. He is a cat wearing an English naval officer uniform, ala Officer Shaw from the Our Flag Means Death pilot episode. On one postcard he is looking disapprovingly to the side. The other postcard shows a pleased smile on his face.

He's watching Blondie over there, and is immediately, hopelessly enamoured! What ridiculous thing is Stede doing that will have Ed sauntering over in T-minus 2 minutes?

#ofmd #OFMDfanart
Ed Teach from Our Flag Means Death posed from the hips up. He's got an expression on his face that looks like a mix between a smirk and an embarrassed smile. He's two seconds away from twirling his hair around his finger. His right hand is curled up around his mouth and his left lies down to his side. He's wearing a pink long sleeved shirt with a snake pattern, and the shirt, his skin, and his dark wavy hair are highlighted in bright neon colors from pinkish red to purple to blue. His hair is half up with a small bun corralling the top half. The background is bright purple.
