I see them everywhere, pet shop edition.

My teen is ‘helping’ and asking terrible questions like ‘mum, are you really going to use all these discarded book cases?’

He was very much based on a strongman illustration I found somewhere. But I love him.

Found this ‘hag stone’ that looks like a vulva at the beach today. So that’s pretty cool.

Right. Okay. So 100% not the worst film I’ve ever seen. However, I was promised this, and this did not feature.

Found this absolute gem on Vinted so naturally had to buy it. Never even heard of it before. Digging in now with the teen!

The front of a DVD box for the film Diagnosis: Death. Apparently it’s “a must-see for fans of Flight of the Conchords”

Ok pals, so I’ve not watched Ted Lasso because, y’know… sports. But on the other hand, Hannah Waddingham. Should I be watching it? It’s me. I’m this meme.

The no/maybe meme. One side a person looks disgusted, the other side they are raising their eyebrows in a ‘however’ expression

Ok, look. I did this in about an hour whilst my children were annoying me so I can’t promise it’ll be any good.

God it’s annoying to hear you like this,
Whinging on like a whiney old bitch.
You’re flopping around like a sad, old, wet fish
So, I’m taking control of the sitch.

There’s literally no-one quite like you, Stede Bonnet,
You’re the only captain we’d want.
The crew would be quite shit if you weren’t on it,
Even if you can be a real cunt!

No one steals like Stede Bonnet!
Wears high heels like Stede Bonnet!
No one’s wears so much fantastic teal as Stede Bonnet!

There’s no other captain as well dressed,
Silks, frills and lace never wrong.
You can ask Pete, Roach, Jim and the rest,
And they'll tell you whose crew they prefer to be on.

No one reads like Stede Bonnet!
Does cool deeds like Stede Bonnet!
Makes Capt’n Blackbeard weak at the knees like Stede Bonnet!

As a Captain I am rather inspiring.

Give five “hurrahs!”
Give twelve “what-what’s!”
Stede Bonnet’s the best,
And the rest are all twats!

No one raids like Stede Bonnet!
Does Ed’s braids like Stede Bonnet!
Waited years to get properly laid like Stede Bonnet!

For there's no one as clever and charming,
And my biceps are naturally large!
Not a bit of him’s shy and retiring,
(That's right!)
And that’s why I’m naturally better in charge!

No one loots like Stede Bonnet!
Shines his boots like Stede Bonnet!
No one constantly misuses fruit like Stede Bonnet!

Barely tasted of orange if that’s consolation!

When I was a boy I liked to pick flowers,
Every day to my father’s dismay.
And now that I’m grown I’m a pirate - wowzers!
But he’d be most distraught ‘cause I’m gay!

No one fucks like Stede Bonnet!
Likes to suck like Stede Bonnet!
Has absurd, inexplicable luck like Stede Bonnet!

My pirating skills are illuminating!

Say it again.
Who's a man among men?
And then say it once more.
Who will give you a tour?
Who's a super success?
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
Ask his fans and his five hangers-on.
There's just one guy on board who's got all of it down,
And his name’s S-T-E-E-
S-T-E-E-D
S-T-E-A-D-
STEDE BONNET!

Maybe one day I’ll be able to go to something with pirate pals without taking pockets full of treasure. Today is not that day.

pspsps I have *finally* gotten around to adding some basic book binding tools to my ko-fi store if you’re into that. They’re sparkly! ko-fi.com/bookknobs

Rhysie really working that golden hour light.

A screenshot from Rhys’ most recent Instagram post. He’s dressed for adventure in a sand colour shirt and hat. The golden hour sunlight makes him look even more like sunshine.

LOL thought I’d check this out because everyone else’s looked so nice and balanced…. Yeah, seems about right actually.

For tonight’s drawing practice I ‘doodled’ a little Ed in his PJs - inspired by the most recent chapter of @serpentanddahlia.bsky.social and @bizarrelittlemew.bsky.social ‘s RBB fic. I hope that’s ok!

A little doodle of Ed. He’s wearing soft pink PJs - a shirt and shorts - with bunnies, teapots and flowers on them. His hair is up in a bun, tied with a purple scrunchie and he’s wearing pink bunny slippers.

I talk about this one in particular ALL THE TIME! What was Stede anticipating that he’d need this wig for?!

Buttons from OFMD in one of Stede’s wigs. This one is long and curly.

My 8 year old is drawing Grace and Rocky. Start them young.

A little sneak peek of the RBB @aloc.bsky.social and I have been working on. Coming soon! #OFMDWIPSnips

Stede hasn’t slept. Between his wife attempting to murder him in his sleep, and realising that actually he is very much in love with his co-captain, it had been rather difficult to settle his mind. Instead he’d spent the night plotting. He’d even tracked down Doug and, yes, apologised for his behaviour at the art show, but also discussed some of his plans with the man. And Doug’s no Ed, that’s for sure, but it turns out that he’s actually quite lovely.

Together they’d eventually woken Mary with breakfast in bed (Doug’s idea, though Stede made a mental note to do the same for Ed sometime when he saw how touched she was). Then Stede had left the two of them to… erm… prepare for the day. He’d hurried the children outside, and away from the house, keeping them occupied with visiting the animals for more than an hour!

The three grown ups are just sitting down for morning tea, Mary and Doug having finally emerged from the bedroom (a fact which Stede finds a little baffling - what on earth could they have been doing all this time!?) when there’s a knock at the door. Stede huffs, knowing he’s making what Lucius calls his ‘bitchy’ face, but really he’s just eager to properly outline the rest of his plan so they can set things in motion and he can get back out there to find Ed and make things right.

Unfortunately it’s the English Navy at the door.

2. The Unmagical Life of Briar Jones by Lex Croucher GUYS! This was sooooo fucking good. Best book I’ve read in a very long time. Dark, broody, queer.

Going to start a little thread for my #PirateReadingClub reads. 1. A Prince Among Pirates by Katie Abdou This was SUCH a fun time. Lots of little Easter eggs for OFMD fans but very much not a fic.

What’s your favourite Girl Dinner ™️? Mine is almost always a bowl of Frosties. Sometimes Rice Crispies, but only if we have enough sugar to satisfy my Ed Teach-esque needs.

I too met him a couple of times at conventions, including my first ever. He was absolutely the nicest human. The last time my now 16yo was a toddler and he stopped to chat to her even though she had zero clue who he was or what was happening.
