a digital drawing of ed and stede from our flag means death in modern era. ed has his hair half-up and is wearing pink earmuffs, a pink striped scarf, and his typical leather attire. he’s falling backwards, one leg in the air, as stede grips onto his scarf, leaning in for a kiss. stede is wearing a turtleneck sweater, striped flared pants, and a pink hat that is flying off his head because of the motion, but is caught by ed’s outstretched hand

Something lovely to start the week! 🐙🏺❤️

Ancient clay pots with octopus decoration, made by artisans from Bronze Age Crete some 3,500 years ago!

Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo collage shows four pottery vessels, all a creamy yellow in colour, with black painted decoration depicting underwater sea-life featuring lively stylised octopuses with writhing tentacles (arms), All on display at Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete. Top L - Minoan pithoid storage jar decorated in the “Marine Style” with wide-eyes octopus, argonauts, rocks, and coral. Rounded top tapering down to a narrower base. Short cyclindrical neck flaring out at the mouth with black wavy decoration reminiscent of waves. Loop handles attached to the shoulders of the body. Height 55 cm. From Zakros. 1500-1450 BC Top R - Minoan flask with a rounded body, short cyclindrical neck which flares at the rim, and two small curved handles attached between the top of the spout and the shoulders of the body. Decorated in “Marine Style” which depicts an almost cartoon-like octopus with wide eyes and sucker-lined tentacles which writhe around the vase. Other decorative sea-motifs include sea urchins, seaweed and rocks. Height 27cm. From Palaikastro, 1500-1450 BC Bottom L - alabastron, broad at the base, swelling outwards into a fuller belly before narrowing near the top with a very short cyclindrical neck and a wider flat rimmed mouth. Decorated in “Marine Style” with a wide-eyed octopus among rocks. From Knossos Little Palace, 1450-1370 BC Bottom R - krater with rounded body narrowing at the bottom towards the foot. Wide flaring mouth and rim with black painted wavy decoration, and two sturdy handles attached on each side between the top of the mouth and shoulders of the vessel. Decorated with a central very stylised wide-eyed octopus whose tentacles loop up and down around the body of the pot, 1370-1300 BC

did somebody say hot butch oluwande? (ref from trueref !!)
a digital drawing of Oluwande with their hand on their head and one foot propped up, as if they’re resting while doing some sort of activity. They’re wearing a teal tanktop, baggy cuffed jeans, their signature beanie, and magenta crocs. They’re wearing a have an orange fish keychain with some keys on a carabiner on their belt loop, and they have garlic bulb and soup love heart tattoos. The drawing is shaded in a slightly washed-out watercolor style.

Jim and Archie for @the-widow-olivia.bsky.social !! they have mischievously energy in every universe <3
a line drawing of Archie and Jim as medieval manuscript beasts. Archie is a winged twisty snake and is looking up at Jim with a wide smile and with one eyebrow quirked. Jim is a dragon, and is looking down at Archie with an equally mischievous expression. they’re both wearing fancy little chaperons with long lirripipes.

little medieval guys Ed and Stede for @veeagainsttheday.bsky.social !! did you know they are so in love with each other
a line drawing of Ed as a medieval marginalia dragon with a curly tail and fancy wings, staring sweetly at Stede, who is a kind of cat-like creature that’s wearing a snazzy little chaperon and playing a little lute and looking fondly at Ed. there’s a little heart drawn between them because they’re very in love.

happy thursday, loves!! @emcolbs.bsky.social and i are here with chapter 34 of out of the bag 🐈🏡 wherein ed gets thrown for, uhh, a little bit of a loop, but hey, he copes! maybe he even makes a new friend? 💜

enjoy! archiveofourown.org/works/63564631
title card for Out of the Bag by suchgreatheights. a sofa with scratched-up corners is in the center of the image. in the foreground is a fluffy calico cat running out of a paper bag. above the sofa is summary text: Friends, Ed can do. Friends, that's easy. Except there are mochas, and there are movies, and there's this whole queer discovery he's helping Stede navigate, and there are a hell of a lot of chocolate muffins. Sometimes the journey is the most important part. crop of emcolbs' art from chapter 34 of out of the bag. visible in the crop is the end of a coffee table with a movie sitting on it, and the lower part of ed's body on the sofa. ed is curled up on the end cushion of the sofa and wearing a robe.
