Digitally altered production still of Ed and Stede from episode 8 of season 2 of Our Flag Means Death. It’s a still from LuPete’s wedding, where Stede is looking misty eyed at the happy couple and Ed is glancing over at Stede. The image has been digitally altered by drawing a shiny top hat on Stede’s head, and a veil with a crown made of snow flakes on Ed’s head. There’s a heart drawn between their faces, and snow flakes of varying sizes added everywhere but their faces, the veil and the heart between them ♥️ Happy Christmas and Happy Holidays and Happy End-of-Year!

Digitally altered production still of Buttons, ‘Karl’ (except he’s been switched out with a goose), Frenchie, and Ed ‘Blackbeard’ Teach from episode 4 of Season 1 of Our Flag Means Death. The image has been digitally altered (by @tillychmo – apart from the goose! I don’t know who made the orig. switch-out!) by drawing Santa hats on all four of them (yes, goose included) + adding snowflakes of varying sizes to everywhere but their faces. (Izzy is technically also in the photo, but he’s so well-hidden behind Ed that I only just realised it right now 🙈😅) Handwritten text at the top of the image reads: “THE 23RD DOOR”.

Digitally altered production still of Wee John Feeney from season 1 of Our Flag Means Death. (I think it *might* be from episode 8? 🤔) The photo is cropped fairly close to his face.

The image has been digitally altered (by @tillychmo) by drawing a Santa hat on his head. Handwritten text at the bottom of the image reads: “THE 18TH DOOR”.

Digitally altered production still of Ed & Stede from episode 9 of season 1 of Our Flag Means Death. By a truly happy coincidence this door-picture fits incredibly well with today’s story, as the production still is of Ed and Stede kissing on the beach/near the sea. The image has been digitally altered (by @tillychmo) by drawing Santa hats on both their heads. Handwritten text at the bottom of the picture reads: “THE 17TH DOOR”.

Digitally altered production still of Jim & Oluwande from episode 6 (Calypso’s Birthday!) of season 2 of Our Flag Means Death. They’re sitting next to each other and looking over at someone off screen. Oluwande is looking a little pensive, Jim is looking gleeful and a little mischievous. They’re sitting near the railing and we can see some of the beautiful colourful flower decorations behind them. The image has been digitally altered (by @tillychmo) by drawing Santa hats on both of their heads. Handwritten text at the bottom of the photo reads: “THE 15TH DOOR”.

#OFMDadventCalendar #OFMD #OurFlagMeansDeath #SanktLucia #SaintLuciasDay
Digitally altered production still of Ed ‘Blackbeard’ Teach from episode 10 of season 1 of Our Flag Means Death (he is in the ‘depression robe’ sanding on the deck with his hands folded, after he has sung his “Just Let Go”-song, and he is looking very angelic). The image has been digitally altered by drawing a Saint Lucia’s crown on top of his head. The Saint Lucia’s crown is often made from either pine or lingonberry sprigs. The crown is worn by the young girl crowned ‘Lucia Bride’ or ‘Lucia Maiden’ and this person leads the Saint Lucia’s Day procession. In this image the crown has been drawn to resemble pine sprigs. Atop the crown is affixed four live candles. (It varies how many candles are atop the crown – in Denmark it’s usually four, but in other Scandinavian countries (esps. Sweden) it is as much as 7 candles.) Handwritten text at the bottom of the picture reads: “THE 13TH DOOR” and then underneath that is added: “Saint Lucia’s Day”.

Digitally altered image of Ed and Stede from episode 6 (‘Calypso’s Birthday’) of season 2 of Our Flag Means Death. Ed is looking enthusiastically at Archie (who is off screen here) while saying something. Stede is looking at Ed with rapt attention and wide eyes. There’s a soft glow on both of them, from the natural lights used in the scene. The photo has been digitally altered (by TillyChMo) by drawing Santa hats on both their heads. Handwritten text at the bottom of the image reads: “THE 12TH DOOR”.

Digitally altered still photo of Oluwande and Auntie from episode 8 of Season 2 of Our Flag Means Death – from when they’re in the woods, making ready to attack the British. Auntie is in the foreground, and it looks like she’s holding branches back while crouching a little. Her eyes are firmly locked on something off screen. Oluwande is standing behind her. His hands are down by his side (right hand holding a riffle). He looks fairly stunned at whatever is going on off screen. The photo has been digitally altered (by TillyChMo) by drawing Santa hats on both their heads. Handwritten text at the bottom of the picture reads: “THE 11TH DOOR”.

Digitally altered close-up image of Roach from Our Flag Means Death. Roach seems to be bent over a table (maybe surveying Lucius’ dying finger in ep. 6 of s1? 🤔) and looking to the upper left corner of the photo. He’s got a cigarette of sorts in his hand. The photo has been digitally altered by drawing a Santa hat on his head (the end of the Santa hat is drawn to look as though it’s resting on the table). The handwritten text at the bottom of the image reads: “THE 9TH DOOR”.

Digitally altered still photo from episode 8 of season 1 of Our Flag Means Death. It’s the moment where everyone is on deck, looking up at Roach who’s about to do ‘yardies’ (jumping off the mast 🤦‍♀️). (“Everyone” refers to – in order from left to right: Wee John, Lucius, Frenchie, Pete, Stede, Oluwande, Ed, and CJ – it’s from the episode where Jim is off dealing with Jackie.) The image has been digitally altered by drawing Santa hats on everyone. Two of the hats are different from the rest: Pete is, once again, wearing the snow-dotted, royal blue ‘Tuborg beer’ Santa hat — and CJ’s Santa hat is unusually short and ‘perky’, while also being significantly more filthy than the rest 🙈😬😅 At the bottom of the image the handwritten text reads: “THE 8TH DOOR”

Image of today’s Advent Calendar ‘door’ – a digitally altered photo of Minnie Driver as Anne/Annie Bonney from episode 4 of season 2 of Our Flag Means Death. It’s a still from her first scene of the episode, and she is seductively polishing a piece of silverware on her right tit (possibly a saucer … which is in and of itself a pun I hadn’t considered before this very moment … 🙈😂 She’s saucily polishing a saucer on her tit 🙈). The image has been digitally altered by drawing a Santa hat on her head. The Santa hat is fairly huge, as it had to envelop her whole up-do 🙈😅 Handwritten text at the bottom of the image reads: “THE 7TH DOOR”.

Digitally altered image of Fang (David Fane) from Our Flag Means Death (can’t remember the episode, but it’s from season 1). He is resting his hands atop the thing that hauls in the anchor, and side eyeing someone. The still has been digitally altered by drawing a Santa hat on his head (making him look very much like Santa Claus 🎅🏻🙂‍↕️😅).

1st ‘door’ of the advent calendar! The image is from episode 1 of season 1, where Stede is sitting atop the thing that hauls up the anchor, reading to the nearly-sleeping crew. In the picture is Stede, Frenchie, Roach, Swede, Lucius, Wee John, and Pete. They’re all wearing Santa hats – however, Pete’s hat is different from the rest of them. Pete is wearing a midnight blue Santa hat with little white dots on it (indicating ‘snow’) – this hat is a strange Danish tradition (for those who choose to celebrate it … a LOT (maybe even most?) don’t anymore) that pertains to the time of year, when the Danish beer brand ‘Tuborg’ releases their yearly Christmas brew.
