Happy Monday, All!

I have NOT had a chance to watch season 2 of Our Flag Means Death, yet. But I fell in love with Stede and Blackbeard and the entire gang. Can't wait to watch more.

I did this little watercolor and ink painting after binging the first season last... oh wait... it's now TWO years ago. Darn you 2024!

Sending Big Hugs from the Hobbit Hole. ♥♥♥

Would you like a tour?

We made some good progress on the game during the Holiday break. Here are some crew members hanging out on the gun deck.

Bonus: we can also talk to Izzy.

hello!! love your art!! if no one has suggested this already and you’d like a soft prompt at any point: stede waking up before ed, sleepy and smitten, tucking a strand of hair out of ed’s face.

thank you so much!! i took some liberties with this one. i just love the idea of Stede being obsessed with Ed as soon as he wakes up.

Worst thing about writing a heavier Ed/Stede fic is that their lives will be in danger and they'll still want to do little bits and goofs with each other. My guys are looking down the barrel of imminent death and we still have to take a breather so they can critique Izzy's fashion sense. It's like I get you're both committed to the bit but you need to get your head in the game

I had a weird ass dream about ofmd in which Stede somehow managed to get cursed with a slow acting zombie virus, and then he passed it onto Izzy and then to the rest of the crew and the only two people unaffected where Ed and Jim so they went to infiltrate another ship to get the cure. The other ship was like. Industrial esque. Would be industrial if it weren't a dream, probably. And there was a big tank with the water supply of the ship and Ed and Jim just decided to poison it with the zombie virus. At some point i became Jim (god i wish) while Ed was doing stuff and getting shit done i was just fucking around as Jim. Then i stopped being them (rip), they got back with Ed, got the magical limes that cured the zombification process and went 'actually, if this ship becomes a zombie ship that might be a problem for us in the future…' so they dunked a bunch of limes in the water supply too so the crew would heal and then they left to go back to the revenge and throw magical limes at everyone so they got better

silly Izzy situation: he gets a parrot.

HE GETS A PARROT OH THIS GAVE ME BRAIN WORMS

-Stede is the one to get him the parrot- something about how hes got the wooden leg he has to complete the look? honestly izzy wasnt listening, stede was using his excited voice and izzys learnt he can zone out a bit when he gets like that. there was a hat too but that went to someone else Real quick (the parrot was trying to eat it anyway)

-i know nothing about parrots but im gonna say stede gets him an African grey. it's the goth-est parrot and they're Friends Now, hes got to give a gift that fits in with izzys Look

-when stede gives it him he protests LOUDLY but when stede gets all sad and says he will return him izzy draws a knife. wtf you can't return my gift Stede

- the parrot learns to say fuck REAL quick

-izzy learns bird care from buttons, obviously- izzy is Rules autistic he needs to know How you look after his pet. he is super rigorous with following the rules and at least one crew member has faced a tirade for feeding him something bad

-the bird rides everywhere on his shoulder. frenchie makes him a little pad so his claws don't scratch izzys leathers and so he can grip better

-he starts stroking the bird as a comfort (in Correct places, thank u buttons) he doesn't notice hes doing it but everyone else does. lucius has a sketch

-you know how some pets are like? exactly like their owners? yeah. this is the grumpiest fucking parrot and they are perfect together. he only likes izzy. after a while he mimicks izzy yelling at the crew and nobody knows what to do they all just. stare. izzy laughs.

- the parrot spends a little too much time with the swede somehow (jackies? izzy & jackie friendship my beloved i will force you in anywhere) and picks up his singing. its. something. they end up using it on raids as part of a fuckery. two haunting tones to create a sense of unreality, of being surrounded.

-i didn't give the parrot a name here because i genuinely believe izzy wouldnt give it a name, hed just call it 'the parrot', occasionally 'my parrot' when drunk. the crew call it mini Izzy.

(buttons asked the parrot its name)

-someone once gave the parrot a knife because they thought itd be funny. we do not talk about the parrot knife incident.

1. Yes they have to fight, 2. Tell me who’s fighting who in the tags! (I’ll add the most ridiculous combos in a reblog)

Archeologists in Tenerife, Spain, are baffled by the recent discovery of yet undated artifact. Is it a sacrilege, a prank, or proof of a previously unknown cryptid? Have you guessed yet? Read more on AO3 🏴‍☠️ (and alt text)
