I saw this comic and thought 'Izzy has 100% been told to sleep on the couch over this' xkcd.com/3166/

So I made an edited version.

Spooning properly is srs bsns to Izzy Hands
An edited version of XKCD 3166 so that the main character looks like Izzy Hands

Ed and Stede took the lazy route for the costume party and went dressed as each other #ofmdollsautumn

Good news, we're allowed to share our works! archiveofourown.org/works/72239741 Happy Frenchie Friday! #ofmd #frenchiefriday
Relationships: Frenchie & Roach (Our Flag Means Death) Fang & Frenchie (Our Flag Means Death) Fang & Roach (Our Flag Means Death) Characters: Frenchie (Our Flag Means Death) Roach (Our Flag Means Death) Fang (Our Flag Means Death) Izzy Hands Additional Tags: Canon Era Supernatural Elements POV Roach (Our Flag Means Death) Curses Frenchie-centric (Our Flag Means Death) Roach-centric (Our Flag Means Death) Catboy Frenchie Frenchie Needs a Hug (Our Flag Means Death) Pre-Slash Animal Transformation Summary: The water sprite sways closer to Frenchie. “You fell in me. You’re covered in me. It’s enough.” “Enough for what?” Frenchie leans back, his eyes darting all over the sprite and over to Roach. He keeps his head lifted, trying not to show how nervous he is. “To turn you into a monster over the next day and night. Enough time for you to fetch your friend. Enough time to repay me.” The sprite sways over to Roach. “If the payment is fair, I will undo my curse on your friend.” Roach takes Frenchie out for a spa day like he did with Fang, but whoops! The water sprite of the stream they visit is still annoyed at their lack of gratitude. Roach and Frenchie better bring back Fang and make amends, or Frenchie is stuck with his curse forever...

I was gonna share this for #wipwednesday but it's finished so here's a fluffy fic for #2000tealoranges: archiveofourown.org/works/71648656
Summary: Roach hums in thought. “Why do you want Oluwande to be in here all afternoon?” Jim narrows their eyes, but Roach looks back calmly. Curiously. “It’s a surprise.” “For him, not for me.” Roach grins. “If you want it to stay a surprise, you should tell me.” Jim glares at Roach, who just smiles back. They look over their shoulder again, then lean closer. “I’ve been knitting him a new hat,” they whisper. Jim is trying to make Oluwande a new hat as a surprise, and they really need Oluwande to stay out of the way for that.

Hey who wants some Stizzy for Wip Wednesday?
But now Izzy has turned so he can lean back against the desk for support and he gives Stede an expectant look. And Stede thinks about pushing Izzy so he’s on his back on top of the desk, and maybe Stede can brush some maps or papers out of the way and onto the floor and cover Izzy with his body and — “You want a hand job or not?” “Hand job!” Stede exclaims. He can think about Izzy lying on the desk some other time. Or Ed on the desk. Or he can just ask Ed if he can lie on the desk. Or Stede can lie on the desk? Something for later! He makes it way over to Izzy awkwardly, trousers still halfway down his thighs, and he pauses in front of Izzy. “So, do I…?” He gestures at Izzy’s trousers. He know what the other man is like when it comes to people touching him and his things. Izzy puts his hand on the desk and leans back. “Go on.” “Right!” Stede holds up his hands and wriggles his fingers. “I’m going in!” “Fucking hell,” Izzy mutters, glancing away, but he’s not telling Stede to stop or fuck off, so Stede takes it as permission to undo the lacing holding his trousers up. “Fucking hell,” Izzy mutters, glancing away, but he’s not telling Stede to stop or fuck off, so Stede takes it as permission to undo the lacing holding his trousers up. Stede frowns as he starts untying the knot, and he has to lean in to see if he’s making any progress. “What kind of knot is this!” He can’t figure out how to untie it. “A perfectly standard knot any self-respecting pirate should know,” Izzy tells him. Stede huffs. He doesn’t know his knots as well as he should, but he’s been practising! He just doesn’t happen to know this particular one! He gets down on one knee to see it better. “Oh yes, that really narrows it down,” he grumbles, and Izzy huffs a laugh. Unfortunately, being on his knees isn’t helping Stede untie the knot. If only because he’s very aware of being on his knees before Izzy and why he’s on his knees before Izzy and what they’ll do once Stede gets this knot untied and Izzy’s trousers down his thighs. His hands and fingers press and rub against the leather, which means he keeps touching Izzy’s cock through the leather as well. Despite Stede’s increasing frustration with the knot, it is good to see Izzy’s grip on the table grow tighter, his knuckles white, and a telltale bulge grow where Stede keeps touching him. Izzy’s breathing comes faster, and every now and then his breath hitches or there’s a very soft whine when Stede’s knuckles press down. “You like this,” Stede says, after another soft whine. “Your incompetence?” Izzy asks. His face is flushed as he looks down at Stede. “Not really.”

For the Big Bang stuff:

I used this script for grabbing stats/data: random.fangirling.net/scripts/ao3_...

2022 + 2023 Big Bang Collection: archiveofourown.org/collections/...
2024 Collection: archiveofourown.org/collections/...
OFMD Big Bang Data Poking OFMD Reverse Bang Data Poking Post Okay I have done OFMD Big Bang/OFMD Reverse Bang Data Poking before but I did some again yesterday, saw some changes in numbers in the 2023 and 2024 collections so I decided to grab ALL the stats from the three big bang and three reverse bang collections all on the same day. Obviously, the bang collections change over time because creators can change their username, they might orphan a work, they might delete a work entirely, they might add it to the anonymous collection. Since I want to compare a couple of things between past editions and the most recent editions, it just seemed best to use the data I grabbed on one particular date. This also explains why there are discrepancies between the times I shared my bang data poking before. Also, I'm human and sometimes miscount things. What counts as a creator/work? The creators can be authors, artists or podficcers Since this is based entirely on who is a creator on AO3, some artists are not included The number of creators is based on usernames. So if someone has different usernames/pseuds, they show up as different creators I did not include orphan_account in the total number of creators If a podficcer added their podfic to a bang collection, that podficcer is included as a creator If a podficcer added their podfic to a bang collection, that podfic is included as a work If an artist posts their art separately in a bang collection, that art included as a work So, the total number of works in a collection aren’t just fanfics, but they include podfic and art as well. Numbers: Big Bang 2022 total words 2761355, average wordcount per work 28764,11 Big Bang 2023 total words 2371091, average wordcount per work 29638,64 Big Bang 2024 total words 1416828, average wordcount per work 32949,49 Big Bang 2022 - 96 works, 94 creators Big Bang 2023 - 80 works, 80 creators Big Bang 2024 - 43 works, 55 creators Did the Big Bang in both 2022 and 2023: 9 creators Did the Big Bang in both 2023 and 2024: 8 creators Did the Big Bang in both 2022 and 2024: 3 creators Did all three Big Bangs: 0 creators Misc: Big Bang 2022: 2 works by anonymous creators 3 works by Orphan_Account 4 works are not complete Big Bang 2023: 1 work is by Orphan_Account 1 work is not complete Big Bang 2024: 1 work by Orphan_Account 1 work got removed from the Big Bang collection for plagiarism 1 work got removed from AO3 entirely, presumably by the creator, as it was an artpiece for the removed plagiarised work

For #ofmd #wipwednesday, Stede is doing more target practice with Izzy and is not at all distracted :D
“All right, Bonnet, but I’m expecting your full attention.” Something about Izzy’s strict tone makes Stede both want to snap back and comply immediately. “You have it.” He stands up straighter and looks at Izzy. Izzy seems a little taken aback by that. “Good. Finally. You’ll be shooting empty bottles again, five today.” “What do I get if I hit them all?” Stede asks, grinning. Izzy snorts. “Bonnet, you’ll be lucky if you hit one.” He pauses. “So yeah, you probably will hit them all.” Stede tries not to look too smug at Izzy’s admission. “And what do I get when I do? C’mon, Izzy!” he says, when Izzy sighs. “We’ve been over the importance of rewards when people improve! I know you’ve been doing that with the crew!” Izzy leans back against the railing. “You’ve got to earn your reward first, Bonnet. After you show me you’ve improved.” A flash of heat runs down Stede’s spine at those words and Izzy’s pleased smile. He wants that. He wants to earn his reward and show Izzy he’s improved. “Right!” He clears his throat, pushes those thoughts aside and looks at the empty bottles that Izzy already has lined up for him. “Prepare to be amazed!” * Stede joins Ed and Wee John on the crates after. “You’ll hit the bottles next time, Captain,” Wee John tells him. Ed pats his knee. “I thought you were doing better already, babe.” “I missed all the bottles!” Stede appreciates Ed’s positivity, but this just borders on condescending. Izzy had been amazed, but only at Stede’s ability to miss five bottles only a few meters away from him.

Oh well.
Comment exchange on AO3 RowanCade (Guest) on Chapter 13Sun 07 Sep 2025 09:06PM CEST Ah got it! Even though it’s complete, I still really loved it and had some thoughts I’d love to share. If you’re open, we could connect on Discord or Insta so I can send them over! Dracothelizard on Chapter 13Sun 07 Sep 2025 10:02PM CEST You can either share further thoughts right here, or, since you've been commenting on a shitton of other fics and are clearly some sort of AI 'artist' working some scam, you fuck right off :) RowanCade (Guest) on Chapter 13Sun 07 Sep 2025 10:46PM CEST you motherfucking bitch asshole Dracothelizard on Chapter 13Sun 07 Sep 2025 11:46PM CEST Did you use chatgpt to write that comment for you?

Since I am done with my Reverse Bang, time for the dumb4dumb Stizzy fic with background Ed/Stede, with a very supportive Ed, for #wipwednesday #ofmd
Right, his dream. “Well, Izzy fell on the beach, obviously,” Stede explains. Does Ed really want Stede to tell him how Izzy died? “I took his sword, and he dropped to his knees in front of me, let out some pained groans. You know.” Ed also doesn’t need to know what Izzy said to Stede once he was on his knees. They’ve moved past Stede abandoning Ed as well. At least, Stede has. Ed still brings it up on occasion whenever he’s mad, which is really unfair of him, Stede thinks, because Stede’s done his best and he can’t change the past! Ed nods slowly, then leans back his chair and looks at Stede. His dark eyes are amused. “So, you dreamed about you and Izzy crossing swords, Izzy pressing his sword to your neck, you penetrating Izzy with yours, and Izzy falling to his knees before you? And there was some groaning while you two did that? Have I got that right?” Ed nods slowly, then leans back his chair and looks at Stede. His dark eyes are amused. “So, you dreamed about you and Izzy crossing swords, Izzy pressing his sword to your neck, you penetrating Izzy with yours, and Izzy falling to his knees before you? And there was some groaning while you two did that? Have I got that right?” “Because I killed him, yes,” Stede adds, not sure why Ed felt the need to summarise. “I took my sword — well, his sword, I suppose — and drove it through his heart.” “Fucking hell,” Izzy mutters. Ed just nods. “I’m guessing that made Izzy groan as well? In your dream?” “Yes? He was pretty loud about it.” Stede is unsure why Ed wants to know about the noises. “Since I, you know, stabbed him. In the chest. With a sword. Pushed it straight through.” Ed smiles. “Interesting.”

Today's #wipwednesday is me writing a 300 word story for a Griezelbus competition 🎉
Ferluci zit hier achter. Onnoval weet het zeker als Beentjes de tweede weg rechts wil nemen en ze weer geconfronteerd worden met dat vervloekte verkeersbord. Rode cirkel, witte streep. Eenrichtingsverkeer. “Ik snap er niks van, baas,” zegt Beentjes. “Jij wordt ook niet betaald om het te snappen,” gromt Onnoval. “Jij wordt betaald om te rijden.” Hij trommelt zijn vingers op het boek in zijn schoot. De Griezelbus. Een jubileumuitgave. Heel bijzonder. Een cadeau van Ferluci. Een blijk van waardering voor Onnoval’s jarenlange werk. Onnoval had meer vragen moeten stellen bij het in ontvangst nemen. Hij had moeten weten dat Ferluci nooit zomaar iets weggaf. Zeker niet iets zoals dit. Het enige exemplaar in de wereld, met vellen gemaakt van mensenhuid en geschreven in bloed.
