Summer 2022 I joined this marvelous fandom. It isn’t dead. A series might end, but fandom lives on. It’s in the art, fics and friendship that is made through it. Some might steer away, but there is a bit of it still there. Me? I’m a lifer. Thank you to all the talented folks who keep creating. 🌈🏴‍☠️❤️🥹

I want to thank y’all for your support with my little pirate book. It’s been so disheartening, but knowing the Crew has my back makes it better.🏴‍☠️💜

Whelp. First school visit with the pirate book (one I was really looking forward to since it was MY elementary school) canceled due to “concerns about content that might upset conservative parents.” I’m absolutely gutted.

Behold the testprint! I need to work on some tiny details and get the printing cleaner but overall this is it! #myart #linocut #ofmdfanart #ofmd #ourflagmeansdeath #linoprint #linolschnitt #wip

Testprint of my latest linocut. Stede's slutty hand stroking the hull of a miniature Revenge. The unicorn figurehead is intact. The flags are Blackbeard's and the cat flag of Stede's crew and my signature in a third one.

Ed took Stede's "Darling, you can't possibly kiss EVERY one." as a challenge. That'll learn 'em. (Thank you to sweetest @xrayvex.bsky.social for adopting this ancient sketch!!) #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is pushing down a robe on Stede's shoulder and smooching Stede's freckles. Stede has his head back resting on Ed's shoulder, his eyes are closed and he's smiling. Ed's shirtless and has his arms wrapped around Stede's chest. Totally gross and embarrassing how in love they are.

I still have some work to go on this, but nearly there! Here's a peeky peek at the wip for my #LaVieEnFrames piece! #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

Close crop of a work in progress drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're smooching. Stede's hand is around the back of Ed's head and in his hair. Ed's hand is around Stede's nape. There's bubbles around their head.

Rough digital sketch of Edward Teach, based on a promotional still from season 2 of hit television show Our Flag Means Death. A black "dry brush" drawing of a beautiful bearded man with long flowing hair blowing in the breeze. He is squinting at something in the distance with a look of questioning concern on his face.

My pirate picture book is coming out at the end of September, so I'm gearing up for school visits. I gotta say, I'm kinda stoked that I get to tell kids about the historical Stede Bonnet as a model of a pirate who did things differently!

forever thinking about the ofmd pilot script "the sales rack of pirates" "climbing ladder, badly" "Our scribe here, Marcus" "BLACK PETE (bald, skinny, thinks he's the ultimate pirate, isn't)"

Excerpt from Our Flag Means Death Pilot Script (2nd Draft)

EXT. THE REVENGE, ESTABLISHER - DAY
A ten-gun sloop sails on the high seas. It's impressive looking. And very clean. Still has that new ship smell.
EXT. THE REVENGE, DECK - MOMENTS LATER CAPTAIN STEDE BONNET addresses his assembled crew. Middle-aged, healthy-looking, he's a man who's seen little hardship.
STEDE
What we're about to do will be perilous. Very perilous. Some of us won't be coming back. Others may be wounded. Still others may come back looking totally fine, but in reality be mentally devastated by what they've just witnessed. And if that's the case, what'll we do?
The crew is silent. They're an odd bunch. Rougher and tougher than Stede, they're still the sales rack of pirates.
STEDE (CONT' D)
... it's something I always
encourage・・・
A lanky, blond pirate with a Nordic accent (THE SWEDE) :
THE SWEDE
...we'll talk about it?
STEDE
Yes! If someone returns mentally devastated, we will talk through it as a crew. Because that's how we do things here on The Revenge.
A chewed-up, bearded, Willem Dafoe-ish older pirate (NATHANIEL BUTTONS) calls out from the bridge.

Excerpt from Our Flag Means Death Pilot Script (2nd Draft)

climbing ladder baly)
We seem like pirates now, don't we?
STEDE (V.O.)
Me? I'm a pretty solid mix of both.
INT. THE REVENGE, STEDE'S OFFICE - DAY
Close on the plant as it's rotated into the perfect position.
Pull back to find Stede admiring it proudly.
STEDE
Really fills the space, doesn't it?
Lucius Spriggs (20's, bookish, spritely) writes everything Stede says down in a thick book.
LUCIUS
Yeah. It's fine.
STEDE
Anyway, were was I?
LUCIUS
Being a pirate captain --
STEDE
Yes! Every pirate captain captains pirates differently. Traditionally, piracy's a culture of abuse: floggings, keelhaulings.
(MORE)

Excerpt from Our Flag Means Death Pilot Script (2nd Draft)

EXT. THE DOCKS - DAY (FLASHBACK)
Stede talks to a couple of new hires, ROACH (compact, slick, shifty) and FRENCHIE (a French-Nigerian hipster pirate).
ROACH
What if we steal more one week?
STEDE
You make the same.
FRENCHIE
But what if one week we steal less?
STEDE
Again, paid the same. A light week, a heavy week, it balances out. See?
ROACH
(silence, then)
What if... one week... we steal like... a lot?
Stede inhales, patiently, game to go through it again.
INT. THE REVENGE, STEDE'S CABIN - DAY
Stede stands in front of a large shelf of books.
STEDE
Also, I've included a few amenities.
(gestures to library)
Full library. The crew's free to borrow books whenever.

Excerpt from Our Flag Means Death Pilot Script (2nd Draft)

EXT. THE REVENGE, DECK - DAY
Stede addresses the crew, Lucius at his side.
STEDE
Very nice work on today's raid!
We're really starting to look like a band of cutthroats and murderers.
Give yourselves a hand.
The crew looks demoralized and pissed off. Only Wee John
Feeney (massive, kindly Irishman) claps. He stops, elbowed by his brother, Big John Feeney (small, semi-feral Irishman) -
STEDE (CONT D)
But I have notes. Our scribe here,
Marcus--
LUCIUS
It's Lucius, actually --
STEDE (CONT D)
-- was good enough to jot them down.
The pirates glare at Lucius. Someone mutters: "Suck-ass." Stede puts on reading glasses and looks at Lucius's book.
STEDE (CONT D)
(scanning notes)
So let's see what we... my opening speech went well, very inspiring...
keep the ladder
handy, that's a big
one..• (then)
Ah! Here's an overall note: More
Energy. It's exciting stuff we're doing, you know? We're swashbuckling and looting, let's have fun with it --
BLACK PETE (bald, skinny, thinks he's the ultimate pirate, isn't) cuts in:
