Honestly, I like my odds.

@alexis44.bsky.social commissioned more western boys and, y’all, I LOVE more western boys!!
A digital drawing of a Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach from Our Flag Means Death dressed in western wear. They are sitting on brown wooden stairs, with Stede situated between Ed’s legs. They are holding hands. Stede is wearing a teal and white western shirt, jeans, and black boots. His eyes are closed and his head is leaned backwards with his face looking up towards the sky. Ed is wearing a purple tank top, black jeans, and black boots. He has his eyes closed as well while face is pressed into the side of Stede’s face. The sky in the background is dark blue with stars sprinkled across it.

Y’all, Ed ended up looking like a snack and a half in this drawing I did for @ladypenni.bsky.social

I basically need her to stand over my shoulder every time I draw Ed because 😮‍💨

A digital drawing of Edward Teach from Our Flag Means Death wearing most of his leather outfit, minus a shirt. He has a short beard and long windswept hair. He’s posing with one arm over his head and his jacket hanging off the opposite shoulder. He’s making very hot eye contact with the viewer.

Here's a little peek of a wip for @kalansphantomff.bsky.social! #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath
Crop of a work in progress drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's laying on his stomach and looking over his shoulder. His eyes are huge and sparkly like someone just said something about how pretty he is. There's a tiny careful smile on his lips, just the tiniest twitch in his mustache. He's lying on top of blue fabric. One hand is stretched out next to his head. He has long curved fingernails. Just the shoulders and bend in wings can be seen.

I may have just pulled off the biggest win/win situation of my life, cross your fingers for me that I can actually make it happen.

Tiny Ed! He saw another pirate's wicked undies fit and needed to have it for himself.

Drawing of Ed from Our Flag Means Death. He's wearing his dark tealy blue robe. It has a soft magenta lining. He's also wearing buttoned long-johns undies and a frilled shirt. It's coming untucked and Ed's hand is resting on his upper belly. His hair is pulled into a messy bun.

Dear Ed, I hope this letter finds you well. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that, despite a few setbacks, the crew and I are well on our way to financial solvency. We've been offered an exciting opportunity to partner with Spanish Jackie—THE Spanish Jackie!—on a new entertainment venture that draws upon my extensive background in the theatrical arts and makes good use of the crew's varied talents. It's a rather saucy performance style that I can only assume originates from France—perhaps in all your travels, you've already experienced this so-called “burlesque”? Jackie has been personally coaching the Swede for his headlining performance, which is, for the moment, shrouded in secrecy (though soon to be un-shrouded, if you get my drift!). The rest of the crew is choreographing their acts, and Wee John has already outdone himself in the area of costume construction. As I have a free moment during a break in our rehearsals, allow me to describe his most recent, ingenious design. Imagine, if you will, a standard set of fall-front breeches, but considerably briefer, if you catch my meaning. And rather than canvas or satin, they are constructed of a rather exquisite lace material. (This detail is, frankly, lost on most of the crew, but I'm certain that you would apprehend its quality immediately!) And to Wee John's credit, when he realized that buttons would pull and distort the delicate material, he constructed quite an elegant system of lacing ribbons on either side of the fall. As you can imagine, this allows the wearer to extend his performance time via the slow unlacing of the ribbons, thus creating maximum anticipation in the audience, and hopefully thereby generating maximum tips (though, even more hopefully, not creating the sort of frustration that could lead to violence! Jackie’z does tend to attract a rougher crowd…) I believe he has just completed construction on the prototype of this intriguing garment, so perhaps soon a lucky crewmember will have the chance to test it out. John won't reveal who the fortunate fellow is to be; when I asked him, he simply said the wearer should be “definitely a show-er” (?) with “great gams” (??). I only wish you were here to elucidate this terminology! Regardless, I can imagine that the effect will be quite invigorating. Perhaps a private showing can be arranged, once we are reunited. Yours, as ever, Stede Bartholomewl Bonnet

Happy Fall Front Friday Fall Festival! Stede enjoys the way these breeches show off his, um, ligs #fallfrontfriday #ofmdfanart
A digital pencil drawing of one Stede Bonnet, lounging in a chair in fall front breeches and stockings. He leans back and slouches, one leg extended, looking very casual, the fall front of his pants barely containing his erection. He gazes at someone off screen with hungry eyes.

Digital drawing of Ed from Free Space, created by Jenn. he's wearing his oversized lavender hoodie and one of his beaded bracelets, and his hair is in the pull-through braid. he's smiling adorably, eyes closed, one hand to his chest and braid whipping through the air, face-framing hair flipping out like a mane as he moves. there's a rectangular background of angelite behind him.

In case anyone needs a laugh - last night when my spouse came to bed, I was snoring. After a loud snort, I rolled over and poked him and said "You're snoring, roll over." So, I woke myself snoring and blamed him, a perfectly innocent bystander. I am full of nothing but class.

A digital drawing of Ed Teach from Free Space floating in a sensory deprivation tank (a.k.a. alien sex egg). He's laying in the water, looking up at the lid of the tank, speaking. The lid is slightly open, and we can see Stede's hand holding Ed's on the edge of the tank. Stede is wearing a beaded bracelet.
