Happy birthday my dearest @roxyrondell.bsky.social I’m grateful you trusted me with your vision to draw this 🥰 #ofmd #ofmdfanart

A digital drawing of Ed. He’s got purple glittery fairy wings and a matching glittery purple flowy dress. He’s holding a dark purple flower with his right arm and there are multiple other dark purple flowers and green leaves. His hair is flowy and he has his left arm behind his head.

i don't have anything for wip wednesday but it's been a month since i posted this little fic about Ikea manager Ed and newly divorced Stede getting snowed in at the store, which is really about finding the starting point of the next chapter of your life (for both of them) 💗 #IdasOFMDFic

Just when he is about to really pull himself together and not get distracted by the way Stede’s throat moves when he swallows his mashed potatoes, and excuse himself to go ask Roach if he’s heard any updates on the radio, Stede breaks the silence.

“Perhaps it was a bad idea to come here today. I don’t know what I was thinking, it was already bad when I left.” He gestures at the window.

“Well, uhm. What are you looking for? I can help you find it, it’ll be faster that way.” Although Ed would rather have him stay as long as possible, he’d still like Stede to think he is excellent at customer service.

Stede offers a small laugh. “What I’m looking for… Uh, everything.”

“Everything?”

“Yes, but most importantly, a bed. I’ve been sleeping on this lousy couch, which is pretty much the only furniture I’ve got. Well, I say ‘sleeping,’ but really, I haven’t been. Able to sleep, that is.” Stede takes off his sunglasses, rubs his face.

That explains the dark circles under his eyes. Ed is getting more and more intrigued by the second. He wants to thumb gently over those puffy half-moons, the crow’s feet, his temples, soothe him until the tension causing those little lines between his brows goes away.

“I feel like there’s a story,” Ed says, sipping his water. Stede smiles, tired.

“It’s a long story.”

“I don’t mind.”

Hello and good day to my new favorite Star Trek character 🖖😘 (Ignore the tags, I guess. They’re just what I set up for my art feed) #OFMDfanart #OFMD

Rhys Darby as Trelane? Maybe? Q? From today’s Star Trek Strange New Worlds (SNW) trailer. Who knows who he is. All I know is that I love him with my whole heart. Give me this cunty blond man in all of the hilarious roles, with all of the ostentatious clothes you can dream up.

Anyway, this is a digital drawing done with marker brushes. This Rhys character is wearing a teal jacket with gold feather embroidery. Under that he has a greenish gold vest, a ruffle undershirt and a dark maroon colored cravat. He has his right hand raised like he’s snapping his fingers. His hair is super bouncy and tall, as Rhys deserves in every single role he plays. He’s looking upwards and he’s lit from below

technicallyyyyyyyyy this is s1 Stede this is art i did for the fic 'fallow land and larger sky' by getmean archiveofourown.org/works/433334...

digital drawing by xray_vex based on Stede Bonnet's "You wear fine things well" moment in Our Flag Means Death s1 ep 5. His head and shoulders are depicted but his face is obscured by stars, behind him is a field of stars as well. Above his head, in hand-written letters are a quote from the fic: "Other times, he dreams of Stede. Stede, with a faceful of stars and the disembodied voice of a ghost."
Near Stede's shoulder is a quill pen dipped in deep blue ink with some ink splatters. Below written in fancy script (another quote from the fic): "In all my life, I've never been quite so happy as I am now."

A colorful, sketchy digital drawing of Ed Teach and Stede Bonnet dressed in season one outfits. Ed is pulling on the collar of his jacket and Stede has a finger thoughtfully resting on his chin. They’re leaning against one another.

Some thoughts on the aftermath of PCCP, and then I shall vanish once again into the mist. www.tumblr.com/xoxoemynn/77...

I was part of the group that first discovered PCCP's lies. The initial discovery was entirely by chance, but then we dug deeper because, and I cannot emphasize this enough, we wanted to be wrong. We did more digging because we wanted to be wrong. And it felt gross, to be looking this closely at someone's real life identity and match it up to details they shared on tumblr/bsky. We hated it. It felt like a violation. But it was such a huge accusation to make against somebody, so we had to be 100000% certain we were right before we breathed a word to anybody else.

For more than a week we agonized about how to handle the situation in a way that would do the least amount of harm to everybody involved and to the fandom at large. There were a lot of tears and sleepless nights. There was a lot of rage that we were even in this position in the first place. And also there was the eternal mindfuck of watching PCCP continue to post about things that we now knew to be lies, while the rest of the fandom continue supporting him as normal.

My point is... none of this was fun. We didn't take any joy or pleasure in uncovering a popular figure in this fandom was a racist fraud. It wasn't some cute detective game. It was hard and it was awful and it was deeply stressful.

So to see some people talk about this like it's entertainment, or fodder for r/HobbyDrama, talk about digging up screenshots and connecting the dots or continuing to theorize... stop. It's done. We did those things because we were hoping to find proof our initial findings were wrong. They weren't. PCCP was racefaking, and it was a deliberate choice he made to mislead and manipulate the fandom for years. He has been exposed and at least somewhat confessed. We know he was a racist and a liar and a plagiarist, and he did irreparable harm to many people in this fandom. That's it. That's the story, and it's done. There are no more dots to connect. There's nothing left to uncover. And while we always knew bringing this forward would result in smug gloating from people who hate the show/the fandom and were happy to have yet another excuse to bash it, it is upsetting and unsettling to see the almost voyeuristic fun some people who do love the show seem to be having with this.

Real people have been hurt, and real people are struggling. We don't need a grand fandom exposé, we don't need to continue digging up the dreck, and we certainly don't need to put anybody in more danger of doxxing. What we need to do is support the people who've been hurt and/or traumatized by PCCP's actions, do some self-reflection on why we allowed him to become so popular in the first place despite so many people now coming out of the woodwork saying they felt "icky" about things he wrote, and move forward.

That said, I do like to focus on positive outcomes, so I'll also say how genuinely lovely it's been to see people supporting each other throughout all this. I've been enjoying the influx of @ofmdlovelyletters on my dash, sharing so much love for others in the fandom. I've been thrilled at all the old gifs and arts and meta posts being shared once more from people who seem to have organically gotten the message of "oh yeah, we're here because we love the show, let's get back to that." Personally, I've been DMing a lot more people just to chat, and it's been really nice turning some fandom acquaintances into fandom friends. And I'm excited about all the efforts of the people working on @inv-2025-pccp to make sure writers who had their works plagiarized receive proper acknowledgement. That's a great, tangible way to turn some poison into positivity, and if you're feeling like "oh I just wish there were something I could do," I'd encourage you to reach out to get involved.

I've said this multiple times in private conversations, but I think it bears repeating here: no matter how much he may have tried, PCCP did not define the OFMD fandom before, and he certainly doesn't get to now. My hope is that as devastating as this event was, we use it as an impetus to move forward and do better, to strengthen relationships and be there for the people who've been hurt the most.
