Revisiting star trek fanfic after finding out I'm autistic is so funny. Kirk and Spock are always having weirdly formal conversations about how they might have accidentally married each other. 10/10

#i was self aware about my love for ofmd #but spock being like 'did you find the kiss satisfactory?' always just made sense to me i never analysed it

Thinking about how my high school Spanish teacher had a rainbow bracelet on all the time and how not subtle (to her) the amount of time I stared at her wrist was

Honestly bless every gay teacher I ever had, that was so important and formative to me

#one of my teachers passed away and his funeral was so full of people #and his boyfriend stood up and read this really romantic poem #and even though i was still squirmy and ashamed about my sexuality for a while i think... #on some fundamental level that protected me from the depths i could've gone to #and i have so much love and respect for every one of them because they will have known shame and stood up anyway #and everything about that helped me

I feel like dusty springfield's 'I just don't know what to do with myself' would be good for S2 ofmd

Every now and then I remember owl at home, and frog + toad, and I feel very overwhelmed

#i feel it in my chest and my heart speeds up #i think arnold lobel did a good job okay

(this was the pose reference)

frog and toad Ed and Stede

frog and toad Ed and Stede

#this somehow took five hours pls clap #friend in the non-platonic sense (just like the original..) #gentlebeard #ofmd art #stede bonnet #ed teach

I've forgotten how to have thoughts about topics other than frog and toad

Just had a moment where I was like "I am so glad I'm a gay man"

Because I am, I'm so glad

#i dont have a lot of social media so yes this can go on my ofmd blog

I have been sitting on so much cursed information and I don't know if sharing this will make me feel better or worse about it but here goes.

The worst possible OFMD modern au concept comes from Rhys Darby himself and Taika is a fucking accessory to his nonsense.

Here's the link

[ID: text from the article linked that reads:

"In an interview with Waititi and Darby, Malay Mail asked the actors to imagine what their characters would be doing to deal with their midlife crisis instead of pirating if they were alive today.

"That’s a good question, I think Blackbeard would be trying to be a deejay,” said Waititi who also directed the first episode.

"He’d be trying to record an album with his mates in a garage somewhere working on their songs about how cool it was growing up in the ‘80s.”

Darby thinks his character Bonnet would be part of the ongoing space race that seems to be the go-to activity for the privileged few with bottomless bank accounts.

"I was going to say space exploration because that’s like the biggest risk these days,” Darby said." End image description]

#i trust them so much with these characters because thats exactly correct

#ofmd art #lucius spriggs #been literally years since ive done a pencil sketch #i had fun!

#goncharov #unreality #this art is messy but also it was fun and i learnt a lot #its like a cross between a meme and a vhs cover?

Stede has multiples of the same outfit

I just want to reiterate that Stede has multiples of the same outfit. He and Ed could twin

#i dont think they will but it would be adorable #ofmd

I liked enola 2 but I'm not convinced by the romance

Also I got spoilered by my knowledge of Victorian matchstick production,,, which is kind of funny

Would definitely watch a third one to see what Watson's like

#i liked their chats but every time things got romantic i was like 'oh my god Focus!! there's a case!!' #for a more compelling romance by the same writer see 'when Barbara met Alan' #actually just watch when barbara met alan anyway 'cause its very cool and shows disability activism and the acting is Gorgeous

"you make ed happy" is in third person 'cause identity issues

But like "you make stede happy" is just Stede being cute mirroring him

Okay so, using pastels is fun!

ed: I'm gonna impress the shit outta this fancy man with my encyclopedic knowledge of the weather, the skies and the tides. he's going to be so amazed he'll have no choice but to smooch me

also, ed: the fuck you mean it's a leap year?

#in eds defence its 1717! and September! #i would also be surprised by a leap year happening in 1717

[thatyummylavendersoap]

Would Stede kiss Ed if Ed was all covered in blood after fighting a bunch of enemy pirates or would he be too appalled by all the blood and violence for a hot kiss?

What do we think mates? I need the opinions for a *reason*

#he would launch himself at ed #and then go 'edward! you got blood all over me!' #as though it wasn't his own fault #and get out a handkerchief to wipe his clothes
