i barely even mention that i’ve ever watched the show bc i don’t want the most racist people in the world to find me. i follow like, 2 people who regularly post about it. that’s enough lmao
i’ve been advised (not by my doctor) to skip meds on weekends when i’m not working. and my non-ADHD wife is the one doing laundry and cooking meals, is she? bc that doesn’t count as work?
HR fandom scares me tbh
if i couldn’t save myself, at least i could save someone else 🫡
Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're in their inn-keeping era. They're walking together, Ed is behind Stede. He's carrying pillows while Stede's arms are full of loose fabrics. A string of exclamation marks are trailing behind Stede. A single small heart is above Ed's head as he smiles. They're both wearing a frilled cuffed shirts and their leather pants and boots. They continue to be super gross.
There are four rooms at inn; the bedroom, the one with the spider, the one with the hole, and the fabric stash room. They shop every week. There's so many pillows on their bed. Fabric is bleeding into the common space. There are neither pillows or fabric in the spider room. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath
i get it, i want kudos and comments too. i get jealous of other people. but you’re going to make it worse for yourself if you do shit like that, bc then you start resorting to shittier means to get the same level of attention. stop hurting yourself like that!!
editing your fic to manipulate stats is loser shit, sorry. i have a fic that’s gotten 160 hits in 13 years. i have an ofmd fic with less than 200. stop trying to be the coolest clown in the circus. you don’t want higher stats, you want community. you’re not going to get that through manipulation
can you DM me who the author is? considering the stuff they think they don’t need to tag for, i’d rather avoid their entire account
how the fuck are you supposed to filter if they don’t use any tags to filter on!!!
“it’s so hard to focus today, i feel like i can’t get myself to concentrate on what i want to”
>>checks pill organizer, which has the meds i forgot to take still in it
“oh”
“oh but you can do weight loss in a healthy way!” i hope your favourite food gives you explosive diarrhea forever
If you talk to me about how much you hated being fat and it was ruining your life, I will block you immediately.
Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Stede is a merman and is leaning over Ed, touching his nose to Ed's and smiling. Ed is dressed in his purple tee and leathers. He's holding one hand under Stede's jaw and smiling. Ed is sitting on rocks in shallow water. Stede is lifting himself out of the deeper water around the rocks, flipping his tail. He's flirting.
Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're sitting on the floor on top of two repaired patched up pillows. Their knees are touching. Ed is wearing his timeout onesie and Stede is wearing his cursed red suit shirt. They're both holding glasses of brandy and talking and laughing together. Ed's free hand is on Stede's thigh and Stede's free hand is resting on Ed's chest.
Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is hugging Stede from behind. His arms are wrapped around Stede's chest. Stede's fingers are tangled with Ed's. They're older, greyer, wrinkled even more. Ed's hair has gone white. He's kissing Stede's forehead as Stede smiles.
Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. Ed is holding into ship rigging with one hand and Stede with the other. Stede is looking up at Ed and smiling.
I love drawing the little quiet moments the most. I like flirty eyes and crinkly smiles around harmonized giggling and sweet-nothing whispers lost on a good breeze. Just want to draw them alive for as long as I am. #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath
the moment i hear “oh My Chemical Romance? my grandma used to love that band” i know i will turn around and see the grim reaper waiting for me
i much prefer living in a world where kids see queerness as a natural part of life, but whenever they call people cowards for not being out, i think about making plans in high school to help friends stay closeted for their own safety. i’m not that old! i graduated in 2013 in a blue state!
AO3 info for the fic Cold Feet. It's 1030 words, rated G, and the summary is: "A gift helps bring up lingering issues from Ed's time in the gravy basket."
Cold Feet had its fic birthday yesterday (2 years 🥲) so that's this week's #TakeTwoTuesday! Feels very fitting too to share it during the craft fair, if you want to read about Stede showing love through crafting while the whole fandom does the same 💜

we need people who aren’t traumatized by war and famine and suffering to help those who are. you correct your ancestors mistakes by using your privilege for good, not getting so guilty that you try and run away from it. no one is asking you to whip yourself bloody to prove you understand suffering
there’s something particularly gross to me about white people who think self flagellation is a form of activism. “i must watch videos of people dying to atone for my privilege”. “i cannot have free time bc people suffering don’t have free time” it seems. unhealthy
it’s SO interesting bc people who’ve never read fic will talk about how insanely sexy a book is, and then i read it and im like. okay. to each their own. but i’ve read sexier massage scenes where no one took their clothes off. what’s happening
The best advice I have for writers is: the harder you try to impress people with your prose, the worse your prose will be. Sit down and try to communicate honestly, you will find the places for your flourishes and metaphors that actually serve greater meaning rather than your own ego.
i kept hearing about it when submissions were already over 😭 i’d love to if you still accept fic
Hot take: don’t hate-read books. One wild and precious life, and you want to spend it mad? DNF and go find something you like.
horrible implications for what’s going on at this person’s house
you’re not a guest in someone’s house, that’s your house now. keep your shoes on, ESPECIALLY if you’ve just stepped in dog shit. rifle through the underwear drawer. shit on the floor.
but i wasn’t super into the heated rivalry scenes either. like, i didn’t HATE them but i was kind of like. hmm. i wouldn’t have minded a fade to black
wish i knew what my deal is
it’s romance without smut too, it doesn’t hit the same
although i did read a book with a sapphic romance and that hit (no sex scenes but i don’t think i would’ve hated them)
is the problem just that im not as interested in straight romance??
i can’t tell if ed and stede have ruined my expectations for sex scenes or if sex scenes in the books im reading just don’t hit the same
am i spoiled by good fic or is there something specifically wrong with me
“someone to come fuck my wife?” is so fucking funny
it’s so funny, i’d look at glowing testimonials for this app and think “okay but they make 5 figures a month, of course it worked for them” but it works for me too!! i don’t have nearly enough in my emergency savings but i have a damn sight more than i would without the app
idk if i get any benefit from sharing a referral link but you can also just ignore my link and google it. they’re not paying me it’s just a fucking great app
i’m “endorsing a budgeting app for free” years old ig
