Ive been organizing the house and im loving how my OFMD stuff is coming together! Ill add some close ups!

The top shelf of my ofmd shrine. From r to l is a lego tree house, a lego triangle house that I like to think of as the boys fixed up inn, a lighthouse and a little figure of ed and stede dancing

From r to l, a lego fishing building, a lego pirate ship with a kraken, a lego bookshelf and an teal chair with lego ed and stede sitting on the chair with wedding rings.

Ed and stede dls, ed's prop dagger, an ofmd puzzle, a bound copy of not pickles, a 3d printed stede pop figure, ed and stede as stuffed animal fish, Jim's prop dagger, ed and stede as dog stuffies, stede's prop dagger, ed and stede muppets

I read 2 mind blowingly good fics this week. Both are HR but, frankly, the fandom scares me, and I figured a big chunk of you might like them, so: The Blueprint by FyrestoneSiren is so fucking funny and so delightfully written. Every moment is a joy archiveofourown.org/works/869017...

saw this on Instagram and it so perfectly encapsulated my rage

seravph
being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made

Called it. The father was charged with punching the child while the mother did witness intimidation to cover it up. www.wbur.org/news/2026/09...

The case was reported to the state in early 2025. Both parents were charged in connection with an incident at the family’s Southborough home in late January of that year, according to court documents. WBUR is not identifying the teenager, who is a minor.

Joseph Kutzko was accused of punching and threatening his then-15-year-old child at the family home on Jan. 28, 2025, records from Westborough District Court show. A Southborough police detective wrote that Kutzko punched the victim in the shoulder and pulled them by their hair. Kutzko later allegedly threatened to kill the victim “for not singing in tune during a birthday celebration,” according to court records.

Kutzko was arrested the next day and pleaded not guilty. In setting bail, the judge referred to three prior restraining orders against Kutzko, one of which is permanent. She did not say whether any are tied to this case.

The child’s mother, Arlene Kutzko, was charged with witness intimidation after allegedly pressuring the child to “tell the school that she was exaggerating and being stupid.”

The context for this is the whole "Izzy Hands, true Irish pirate and practitioner of THE Celtic Faith™" shenanigans going around made me laugh, and all I could think of was Izzy Hands: LORD OF THE DANCE! Pogo took my silly joke and NAILED IT. Look at his belt! The sparkles! His dramatic makeup! 😍

Izzy Hands posed like Michael Flatley on the 1996 "Lord of the Dance" DVD. He is surrounded by sparkles, and has a "The New Unicorn" champ dancer belt.

Original Lord of the Dance DVD cover for reference.

You could listen to trans people facing a relentless international genocide that's cheerled and funded by the beneficiary of all Harry Potter perpetuation which itself functions as anti-trans propaganda OR you could be a smug little privileged prick, I guess

Peter Sagal of NPR:
I've said it before, and I've said it again: the Harry Potter books are terrific, especially when read aloud. They appeal to any child who is told they are special, and great things are expected of them, and yet they have no idea how to live up to that.

I heard the author died. Not sure. Too bad.

A promotional image for a fundraiser for victims of the Nepalese flash floods. It reads "Win a commision piece of quilled OFMD art. 1 entry = £5/$5/". Also shown are three examples of completed pieces by the OP. The first piece shows the 'depression robe' bird, the second piece is Ed and Stede kissing, and the third piece is the foot touch

Text: Why Nepal? On 26th August, a devastating flash flood hit the Nepal-Tibet border, creating a humanitarian crisis on a huge scale. Hundreds are dead, and thousands are unaccounted for.

This raffle is to support the work of aid organisations operating in the region to assist with search and rescue efforts and to provide food and medical care to survivors.

Text: What is up for grabs? I will work with the winner to design and create an original piece of quilled OFMD art, with maximum dimensions of 7 x 5 inches

I will cover the cost of postage to anywhere in the world – please check whether any customs charges may be applied if you are outside of the UK
