Just one Ed not Stede 😔😔😔😔

So pleased that fucking made it in this time though. You’re so right bsky insights that is indeed one of my favorite words

Amused by how much I apparently abuse “just” though

(Also I was confused by “bloody” and then I remembered. Bloody veil Ed)
A word cloud of my most used words, with just and Ed being biggest, followed by one not OFMD and Stede

Thank you so much Miles they’re the best 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Weird little marginalia guys Ed and Stede — Stede’s face is the body of a creature with a goose neck and head, and hooves. Ed has a hooded garment on and his head is on a rodent like body with two legs and a tail

Summary and tags here
Summary: Ed and Stede have been best friends for years, and now own and run a cruise ship together, Jeff's Inn on the Sea. Everything's great! Except Ed has been pining for his best friend for years, and is sick to death of getting hit on by passengers. After a particularly trying day, he brings it up to Stede, and they hatch a brilliant (incredibly stupid) plot: they'll pretend they're dating, so everyone will think they're off limits.

It was almost comical Jill one thing after another after another ending with me sobbing in the car while my kid’s birthday party wrapped up without me

But I suppose we persist

Last #WIPWednesday for Jeff’s Inn on the Sea before we post tomorrow for the #OFMDBB25! This is the kind of bullshit you can expect from Ed and Stede (and also from me and @pogonr.bsky.social)
"It's a brig, Stede," Ed had said, when they were poring over the plans and blueprints together. "Come on, it's a ship, lean into it." "We can't call it a brig!" Stede had cried, obviously scandalized. "What will the customers think?" "They'll think, hooray, somewhere for people to get shoved if they cause a ruckus?" "But brig just sounds so… bare. Like it's full of rats. It's going to be a nice room, I'm not going to make anyone uncomfy!" "Okay, fine. The Nautical Time-Out Room for People Who Should Know Better." "Ed." "The Deckside Detention Den." "I mean, I do appreciate some good alliteration…" "Porthole Prison." "That's barely enough to be called alliteration." "Portside Porthole Prison for Petulant Privateers, then." "I feel like we're getting closer!" "Porthole Pokey for Particularly Problematic People." "Don't get bogged down in P's, Ed. Midship Misconduct Management Module!" "Solitary Sulking Station. For… Saltwater Scallywags." "Captains' Cranky Crew Containment Chamber!" "Aw, no, Stede, mate, we're not putting any of our crew in there! And the ch- is cheating." "I see what you did there."

On different versions I tried different things but I think I don’t have a paint that works for it. This one was a mix of a sparkly copper and a darker brown and I agree that it’s close-ish?? But not right. But ah well! I’m learning things!!! (Also somehow his hand is 15 shades lighter than the rest)

I’ve never done watercolors in my life but I had a great time making some lil guys, even if I couldn’t nail Ed’s skin tone. I might have to do some more sometime!

A cruise ship first class boarding pass for Jeff’s inn on the sea. On the left is a little tag that says OFMD big bang 2025. On right it says story by GelatinousStand (that’s meeeee) art by PogoNR. In the middle it says no shenaniganry allowed aboard Jeff’s inn on the sea. Summary: Ed and Stede have been best friends for years, and now own and run a cruise ship together, Jeff’s Inn on the Sea. Everything’s great! Except Ed has been pining for his best friend for years, and is sick to death of getting hit on by passengers.

It’ll be great! Things do not go as planned. Tropes: fake dating, fluff, smut, idiots in love

Me when there’s a strong headwind the entire 11 miles I have to bike to work

It wasn’t raining, I’m not actually a drowned rat, I just feel like one

Last #WIPWednesday I gave you silly, so have some yearning this time

No shenaniganry allowed aboard Jeff’s inn on the sea will be posted a week from tomorrow, with gorgeous art from @pogonr.bsky.social for #OFMDBB25 !!!
He raises his eyebrows at Stede, a silent okay? Stede blinks a few times, gives Ed a minute nod. Still slowly, ever so slowly, he leans his head against Stede's knee, face still turned up toward Stede. Stede's tongue darts out to wet his lips and Ed's eyes snag on it, hang there on his lips even as he turns — still so slowly, languidly — until his cheek is pressed to the outside of Stede's thigh. Above the line of his beard, he can feel the curls of Stede's leg hair against his skin, and he rubs his face in a tiny circle, just for the sheer joy of its roughness against him. Stede's still staring, doesn't seem to be able to stop staring, lips parted, and he hopes helplessly that Stede's enjoying the roughness of his beard in return. The eye contact is more intense than anything he's experienced in his life, he feels pierced by it, an insect on a board, splayed open for any observer, and he wants that, god, he wants Stede to fucking see him, to finally fucking understand, but more than that, to accept, to change his mind, to want in return. It's all a performance, he knows it's all a performance, but god, he fucking wishes, he fucking aches for that look on Stede's face to be real. He turns even further, until his nose is brushing against Stede's thigh instead, his lips, and it's work to keep looking at Stede out of the corners of his eyes but it's worth it, so fucking worth it when Stede bites at his bottom lip, a ripe-raspberry flush spreading up his face and down his chest, and it doesn't matter that it's only a physiological response or whatever, it's the most gorgeous thing he's ever seen and Ed can't help it. He turns his face fully into Stede's leg, mouthing at the skin, trailing kisses upward, tiny little things, more whispers than kisses really. The hair against his lips is everything he's ever wanted in the world. He wants to breathe it in, fill his lungs with the sensation, fucking choke on it. He noses under the cold wet hem of Stede's swim trunks and is rewarded with the sound of Stede's harsh breathing laid over the lapping of the water and the buzzing of the insects. And then — and then — Stede's hand settles on the back of his head, gentle and undemanding but there, and when that happens the only sound he can hear anymore is his own breathy little moan, and his eyes have fluttered shut, when did that happen —
