Can't believe even in the midst of everything going on with him Dr Stanley still put together a clown outfit to fit in with the other doctors but didn't bother to tell Goodsir about the group costume
I'm making this Izzy gift piece for Con O'Neill for when I meet him at Galaxycon San Jose, and I'm so excited with how the sketch turned out! 🖤🤩🖤 Wish me luck with inking this monster! 🖤☠️🖤
The different Steddyhands dynamics are so funny.
Stede and Ed do this cute little dancing around each other courtship thing with fabrics and candlelit dinners and You Wear Fine Things Well.
Ed and Izzy have this achy horny tender codependent hateful loving dynamic. They're the most divorced unmarried and the most married unmarried people on the seven seas. I have love for you I loved you best I could ouch ouch ouch.
Meanwhile Stede and Izzy are like. Fuck NASTY in the first chapter. Complete bitch4bitch energy. Izzy calls Stede a stupid motherfucker in front of seven other crew members with a mouth that still tastes like Stede's balls. The girls are fightiiiing. 'Don't look at my fucking boner when we fight' only they're BOTH hard and they're BOTH looking. And then Stede shows Izzy one (1) tenderness and it all falls apart.
some rat kings plus a bonus goodsir (more terror text post memes)
I have a lot of writing already on my plate but I woke up with this idea for a Hornigold-era trash party, forced matelotage* Blackhands fic and I may have to drop everything to write it because the angst potential is just calling to me.
*Yes, I know historically matelotages were consensual but the possibilities for drama are sooooo compelling.
Samba's OFMD BTS Cat Improv video with transcript
Scene begins in the middle of an ongoing discussion of Zheng's fighting skills being similar to that of a cat
Stede: ...cat
Ed: Just a cat. She looked just like a cat.
Stede: Feline.
Ed: But not a lazy cat. (dramatic pause)
Stede: An attacker cat.
Ed (says sagely): A motivated cat.
Stede (repeats himself because he likes how it sounds): An attacker cat!
Ed (eager to spin the story to incorporate Stede's idea): Uh, eh, it was...it was a cat attack!
Stede: Ooh yeah! And we were there, too.
Ed (adamantly agreeing): And we saw it.
Stede: We were part of it.
Ed: I was part of it. We were-
Stede: We were like...
Ed: -we were also like cats!
Stede (whispers in awe imagining them as cats): Yeah!
Ed: It was like three stealthy cats.
Stede (nods in agreement with his smart bf): That's right!
Ed (loving his bf's hype): Like three humans who had skinned some cats.
Ed (ADHD mode activated): You know there are many ways to skin a cat. You can start at the head and you just peel from the nose all the way down. Or start at the ass and (gestures as if he were skinning a cat) whip it back like that!
Spanish Jackie/Leslie: Jesus wept.
Ed: It was like three cats had been skinned and we just leapt into their bodies, zipped it up...(train of thought switching tracks)...uhhhm-
Stede (trying to figure out what track they're on): It was cat skins.
Ed: -It was actually the other way around. It was like three cats killed some humans and then-
Stede (loyally agreeing with his bf): That's true. It was the opposite.
Ed: -skinned them. So like three cats had sk...caught some humans, skinned them, and then wore their skins-
Stede (quietly pushing his imagination to the limits): Yeah.
Ed: -as little suits.
Stede (proudly agreeing with his bf): Take that humans! Cats are back!
Ed (needing to emphasize the size of said cats): But they're in the big cats!
Stede (happily reiterating Ed's added detail): Yeah, big cats are back!
Ed (switching tracks again into unknown territory): Or it was like a bunch of...it was way bigger than a normal cat. It was like all of us and we are full...are filled with cats! (abruptly ends his brainstorm and silently rests his hand on his hip)
Stede (proudly standing by his bf, nodding, though he's not sure how he feels about being filled with cats): *buffering silence*
*random meow*
Swede (unsure if he's in the gravy basket because of all the poison he drank): Are you sure I'm not dead?
Spanish Jackie (tired): Yeah. Yeah.
The Terror X In the hall of the mountain king
ok but lowkey I think we need to talk more about how Izzy had a whip on his belt in early s2… like,, I don’t actually have any constructive thoughts about it I just think we should Discuss.
Honestly it’s insane that we haven’t talked about this.
Hey Steddyhands fans! Do you like fics with complicated feelings? Angst? Hurt/comfort? Emotionally-heavy smut? Explosions? Psychological trauma? You may enjoy my Canon-Divergence AU series The Depths.
This series began as a fill for an “Izzy gets kidnapped” prompt on the Our Flag Means Kink meme and grew into…a lot more than that. Part 1 is finished, Part 2 is at 5 chapters so far. That’s over 150,000 cumulative words of our three favorite pirates trying (sometimes successfully) to figure out their feelings, with lots more to come!
I don’t normally do self-promo on this blog, but writing long fics is hard and knowing people are enjoying the story is the best motivation there is. If you want to say hi or ask a question, my ask box and comments section are open.
🩵💜🖤
I just saw a take that said “people only like Steddyhands because they can’t handle Izzy not being the protagonist,” and buddy, I don’t know how to tell you this, but I like Steddyhands because imagining the three of them making out makes my dick hard 😂. Like I wish I put that much critical thinking into the things I find hot, it would have saved me a lot of drama in my 20s.

saw someone say that they block "ageless blogs" and for a moment i imagined, like, cthulhu having a tumblr
DNI if you have lain for aeons, deathless and half-sleeping, watching the stars churn and roil overhead as their short lives flicker against the canvas of night, or if you watch st*ven un*verse
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even DNI
So funny how tumblr appears to be top crozier truthers whereas twitter is nearly 50/50 neck in neck, what does this mean
Sneak peek of my pieces for @becausethenightzine an Ed/Stede nsfw zine, coming soon 👀💜🍆
I feel like it’s important to define “ship” here. When I say “I ship him with Anne and Mary,” I don’t mean “I think that would be a good/healthy/functional relationship,” I mean “I am dead certain that in canon they all hooked up and Anne and Mary were definitely part of one of the three crews who mutinied on him all in the same year. These incidents are possibly related but maybe not.”
