Rhys Darby sitting in a hot tub shirtless, with sunglasses on, pouting in side profile, gesturing at something with his arm outstretched thusly revealing, in fact, a hairy armpit. this is a photo i saved to my phone months ago when scrolling bluesky because i am completely normal Rhys Darby sitting in a hot tub shirtless, with sunglasses on, mouth open and brow furrowed like he has a fucking point to make about something, arm still outstretched and providing an even better view of Armpit. i'm just glad to be here

au where Stede is a comedian and Ed is a loop station send skeet
photo of an audio loop station sitting on a small table next to a microphone stand, on the edge of a small stage at a comedy venue. there are lots of cords and wires around. the stage backdrop is a riverside cityscape photo mural. extremely whimsical things happened on this stage mere minutes before this photo was taken

Stede standing at the capstan in the very first episode, looking at his trophy fern from his very first raid. Caption reads "Woo-hoo!" His lips shape the word. He looks proud and also oblivious. He's trying. This is the man Blackbeard is going to fall for like a fucking re-entry capsule. This is the man that so many of us write or have written as a ridiculously hung soft dom. He's a fool. He is adequate. I love him.

a lil snack for WIP Wednesday (rated E) (the snack is Ed's ass)
Ed's vision goes sparkly at the edges. Time gets stretchy, thick like corn syrup and sugar in a taffy machine. He's drooling onto the sheet beneath him, both from his mouth and his dick, but he's too enraptured by sensation to care: the sizzling smooch-pull lick-suck of Stede's mouth on his hole, the throb of his cock, the distant ache of his knee. The crashing waves of his heavy breath, muffled by the bedding. Stede is moaning nonstop now, and it turns out he does indeed make the same sounds eating Ed's ass that he makes while eating Ed's risotto—just with a lot more feral shlorping. There’s a moment, though, when Stede’s tongue shifts from purveyor of bliss to mocking tauntmonger, the hot tickle nothing but a tease. Ed is painfully aware of how empty he is, how ready he is for more. His earlier impatience returns in force, accompanied by a petulant whine. “Steeeede!”

i am suuure this has been done already and with far more finesse but i have been reading @mediocrepirate.bsky.social's delightful kitty 'verse and cannot stop thinking about how it's canon, even without the collar & bell. ed is cat
side by side screen grabs from season 2 episode 4 where Ed is listening to Stede say things to him at Anne and Mary's house. in the first picture, he's scowling, and i added very rudimentary grayish-purple kitty airplane ears to his head using a shitty marker tool in canva. in the second picture, he's smiling softly, like maybe Stede has a chance after all, and i added perky upright kitty ears to his head with said shitty marker tool. screen grabs from season 2 episode 4 where Stede and Ed are sitting on the couch at Anne and Mary's. Stede is looking at him with longing and concern. in the first picture, Ed is scowling and looking straight ahead, avoiding eye contact with or even acknowledgment of Stede. in this one, added very rudimentary grayish-purple kitty airplane ears to Ed's head using a shitty marker tool in canva. in the second picture, Ed is still avoiding eye contact with Stede, but his face has softened and he's looking down, like maybe Stede has a chance after all, and in this one i added perky upright kitty ears to Ed's head.

10/25/24. colby wilkens makes Instagram post stating that she will not write "Native stories" until she can prove her ties (presumably to Cherokee and Choctaw ancestry) "beyond a shadow of a doubt." comments are not activated. second and third book in the IF I STOPPED HAUNTING YOU series are canned
screenshot of Instagram post that reads: "I have only ever created stories that are authentic to me and my life experiences. I am not enrolled, I have never claimed to be enrolled or to represent the viewpoint of an enrolled tribal member, as reflected in my stories and statements. I have grown up with family and in a home that shared this experience, which goes back to my Great-Grandfather and extended family, and has been part of our culture and identity. I have always been transparent about my identity, and our struggle to gather the paperwork necessary to enroll because of bad record keeping and missing and inaccurate documentation. This is not unheard of and is a difficult part of forming family histories. I am working hard alongside my family to find more documentation, which takes time, but until I can prove my ties beyond a shadow of a doubt and in alignment with the Cherokee Nation's statement on Sovereignty and Identity, I will no longer be writing Native stories. My team and I have decided to pull "If I Dig You" from publication until further notice and "If I Stopped Haunting You" will be my last Native story. Thank you for your patience as we work through this." i circled and highlighted the section about no longer writing "Native stories" until she can "prove [her] ties beyond a shadow of a doubt"

screenshot of Colby Wilkens insta where she's cosplaying Ed. dated 5/27/22. caption of Instagram post, talking about Taika Waititi's impact on Indigenous representation in media: "But people like Taika Waititi have started to change that, and to see me, my family and so many others finally represented in media, especially with humor and happy stories, has been an absolute JOY." continued caption. i circled this part in magenta: "Also, Cosplay peeps: please don't white-wash Ed or any of the other BIPOC characters. There are so many white characters you can cosplay, instead." my dear. you are not taika waititi not all cosplayers are white it's possible to respectfully cosplay a character whose racial and ethnic identities you do not embody et cetera. jesus christ

I GOT TO DO SOMETHING REALLY FUCKING FUN LAST NIGHT🎙️
a photo of the interior of a full but functional walk-in closet. clothes line the walls. a microphone with a pop filter sits on top of a jewelry armoire wearing a gay flannel shirt. a water bottle sits on top of a dehumidifier nearby. the shirt i'm gonna wear today (black t-shirt with fancy script that reads "Protect Trans Folks") is visible on the end of one of the racks of clothing.

#OFMDAUpril day 26, script

here's a taste! (see the entire thing on ao3, because reasons: archiveofourown.org/works/650442...)
a screenshot of part of a script. it reads as follows. EXT. THE INN BY THE SEA, ESTABLISHER – TWILIGHT A small cottage sits on a grassy hill, facing the dimming sunset. It's clearly undergone recent repairs, new shingles bright in contrast to the rest of the sun-faded roof. Fresh panels on the facade await a coat of paint. INT. INN BY THE SEA, SITTING ROOM – MOMENTS LATER STEDE BONNET sits on the couch, legs crossed, reading a book. He's in a silk robe, long loose shirt, no pants. EDWARD TEACH enters the room holding a candle. He's wearing a matching robe, loose pants, no shirt.
