I fic and art. Tumblr is my happy place. If you want to see just my art, you can find it at @teddylarchiviste. Like my art or writing? I love coffee!

I like to think that at some point Mary Allamby Bonnet will come across some random pirate-turned-artisanal-bread-maker and they'll hear her name and go:

Him and Blackbeard got married last month. Great guy, always asks about my mum."
