I got some super gay skies on my flight home tonight

I lost this guy four years ago this June. In addition to being an incredible dad, brilliant man, and loving partner, Thom was also a super nerd with a love of Lego. I've been thinking about this portrait project for a while and finally followed through on it. I love how it turned out.
A portrait of a man done completely in Lego pieces. We are close to the face, and he is looking at the viewer with a clear gaze, sparkle in his eye, and smirk on his lips.

Here's something to give you a smile. Wild turkeys are pretty common in my city, so it's very typical to see scenes like this.

Took a sneaky photo of my boy off to explore his new campus before I left. I know he'll make friends but it just feels like he's so alone right now.

Frankly stunned at how fast this milestone came. Hugs to all you other parents with kids off to college this year.

Title card for Grace Unknown and Love Beyond Degree by demolition woman, podfic by sd ryan. Text is over an image painted by mems_scribbles (wardrobespierre) that features Ed and Stede in an intimate embrace. Ed is posed with his legs straddling Stede's, their foreheads touching, his hand held to Stede's lips. Stede is in a teal robe, Ed in fuchsia. Stede's expression is focused. Ed looks like he might rocket into space.

#WIPWednsday #ofmd From my not-yet published sci-fi smuggler/stowaway slow burn. I wrote this bit at 5am instead of sleeping 🙃
By the time the guy returns, preceded by a ping and the swish of the hatch opening, Ed has gotten himself situated into a much more authoritative position, upright at the desk, looking not at all like some injured toddler snuggling his pet goat. He’s maybe sweating more than usual, kinda flushed with pain and exertion. And his jumpsuit is definitely rumpled and covered in animal fur. And his hair is an unspeakable tangle in desperate need of a deep condition. But whatever. He’s the captain. And this guy is a grubby little stowaway. So it’s fine. He expects to be received with the gravity of what he is: a fucking badass smuggler with like super-intense vibes. He does not expect, however, the radiant figure who struts confidently through the door. “Wow! That really did wonders!” says the walking sunbeam wearing the hell out of one of Ed’s own jumpsuits. “What a difference a hot shower and a little me time makes. I feel completely refreshed! What would you like me to do next?” Me time? “Me time? The fuck is that?” “Oh, you know. Care for the body and mind. Time for self-reflection. A little pampering.” “Pampering?” They’re on a bare-bones second-gen transport. Where the hell did he wrangle any kind of pampering? “Yes! A bit moisturizer on parched skin. The lovely hair mask I found in the facilities. Really brought my locks back to life!” He pats a golden-blond halo, curls so bouncy they look manufactured. “There’s no hair mask in the guest quarters. What are you talking about?” “Yes there is! A full array of lovely hair products. Antique razor set. A beautifully carved tortoiseshell comb.” To a one, items Ed knows live in his private quarters and nowhere else. “You used my fucking shower?” “Wh-what?” The guy stumbles over his words for the first time since his little spa day excursion in Ed’s quarters. “You cleaned your goat-pen-soiled, sweaty-soup body. In my. Fucking. Shower?” “No, certainly not. I just went to the end of the hall like you said,” he peeps. “I thought that’s where you wanted me.” “THE OTHER END OF THE HALL!”

Happening tomorrow??? I'm so excited about this. I voiced a new character to me, Prince Ricky. It was a delight to be a part of and I can't wait to see the culmination of everyone's extraordinary work. #yoft #ofmd
Project role card for You Only Frame Twice: A fan-made animatic project to illustrate David's OFMD holiday special. Imbedded skeet by @david-jenkins.bsky.social reads: "1775. An editor comes into work on Christmas eve to find a manuscript on his desk. the title: A HISTORY OF PYRATES by Charles Johnson. (We have no budget so we'll say the editor is played by Michael Stuhlbarg)." Below in large script is a box that reads, I'm a VOICE ACTOR! Recording booth set-up. A small space covered in hexagon sound dampeners. Computer on a shelf for recording and an ipad with text to read. Sharp viewers will see this is not the script from the Frames project, but Free Space lol.

Title card of No Delays by fake geek boy, read by sd ryan, art by sweet potato. Text is over an image of Ed and Stede locked in a kiss. One of Ed’s arms is around Stede’s shoulder, their free hands brushing together in a whisper soft touch against Stede’s knee. Ed is dressed in black and purple, Stede in camel and powder blue. Their eyes are closed and they look utterly enchanted.

Part of what's keeping me so busy is the fact that this little pirate is graduating from high school in a few short weeks! Unbelievable to think how fast we got here

Circus AU from August ‘22! Someone pointed out how much Stede’s shape lent itself to the olde time strongman look, and I had to run with it.
An illustration of State Bonnet dressed as an old time circus strong man. He holds a comically large barbell in his right hand and rests against the long pole of another in his left. He is in a low cut striped leotard and ribbon wrapped slippers. His hair is in soft waves, and his mustache is epic. An illustration of Edward teach as a circus ringmaster. He sits in a backward facing chair next to a pedestal and whip. He’s dressed in a black velvet coat and purple pants with tall black boots and a top hat. Text over him reads “Blackbeards big top - mayhem and mysteries with Ed Teach”

*sigh* third day in a row awake at 5am. I’m having a lovely break from New England cold, but being in a strange bed isn’t fabulous for my sleep. The sunrises are a beautiful tradeoff tho.
