curious about your favorite underrated artists/fic writers/creatives on here?? and maybe your specific favourite underrated fanwork??

Ooh. I love this question so much, anon ❤️

Underrated gif maker, and I say this with no bias, is definitely Ida @bizarrelittlemew because she just puts in so much effort in all her gifs. Ida looks through tutorials and then also does so much on their own, but mainly: if you look at all the recent gifs, they have such a unique Ida ™️ vibe to them. From rotoscoping (still don't know what that is) to playing with blending, Ida deserves to be right up there with one of the most creative gifmakers this fandom has produced recently.

Unfortunately I just very very rarely hang out reading ofmd fics T-T (I'm mostly in the hobbit and sandman fandom side of ao3) and there are a few writers I love and I tend to stick to them (xoxoemynn, forpiratereasons being the main ones) Most of what I read and like in the fandom is when a mutual ends up writing something that isn't modern au.

Having said that, underrated writer to me 100% is @palavapeite because their writing just never fails to transport me to whatever setting they're talking about. Listen, I just don't read modern AUs, they don't do it for me (def a me issue, I'm sure there are brilliant modern au writers in this fandom but it's something I filter out) but I would absolutely recommend this fic as something that brought me so so much joy, is fast becoming my more reread fic, because it did a perfect job with getting Stede's voice right. I can hear every single thing he says in my mind, it's SO good. Also their fic with priest!stede lives rent free in my head and I would soon find the time to read their non blackbonnet fics.

Another one is adamarks who, again, has such a good grasp on Ed and Stede's character that it doesn't matter which AU Jay has picked, it just always always works somehow. My favourite is this fic tho which is just so them that I might as well weep.

For artists, my recent faves (and I think they're underrated) are Lilo @harrylovesspaezle who's so so talented and I still can't get over that sketchbook tour - the growth and love for this show ough, @ofmderapolag whose pieces are just so so dreamy, and also @spookynadja whose style just floors me every single time.

I'd also like to shout out one underrated category, people who write such amazing text posts like @ourfag who obviously has the s3 scripts and is only sharing them with us in small increments due to the nda and @tulipseason for the currently unpublished book of "1 million ways I will articulate how much I love hit television show our flag means death"

and then there's my favourite most beloved cheerleaders who are always lifting up new writers and artists too like @marbledwings and @insteading ❤️ I especially love that everyone has a beautiful story with these two, you could ask any small or big writer in the fandom if they've been made to cry by wings or insteading and yeah, they're just lovely.

Go into the gif search function and post the first relevant gif you see (not the first one that fits, just the first one that is actually from the show).

Type your favorite pairing and favorite moment between them (Gentlebeard, thumb war):

Type your favorite character and their best quality (Edward Teach, yearning):

(I could go on at length about how much Ed *wanting* what he thinks he can't have ultimately makes his life better.)

Type your favorite side character's name and an adjective that describes them (Oluwande, tender):

Type the show's name and your all-time favorite moment from it (OFMD, reunion):

(This wasn't the moment I expected would pop up, but I went with it, because it is such a Renaissance painting of a shot and I love all the interactions.)

Type your second favorite character's name along with a personality trait of theirs (Stede Bonnet, encouraging):

No-pressure tags: probably everyone I'm mutuals with has already been tagged? But just in case: @spenglernot @furo-contra-machina @lacefuneral @epersonae @redshiftsinger and anyone else who thinks this sounds fun.

happy birthday danny!! hope you have the best day!!!! (from tulipseason🌷💕🫶🥰🏴‍☠️)

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 thank you aggie!!!

[teeny-tiny-revenge]

Oooh, tag games! Thank you @blakbonnet !

Three ships:

Ed and Stede

Aziraphale and Crowley

Lucius and Pete

First ship:

If ship is romantic, then actually Ed and Stede. I've always been into character relationships, but before them it was always best friends or found family that did it for me. Actually, I kinda think Aziraphale/Crowley is sort of an "intermediate" ship for me, because I personally ship it as a qpr? Ed and Stede are kinda the first romantic ship I'm really enthusiastic about. I never really got shipping before. "These characters are fun to watch interact" or "I love their friendship", yes, but never "I'm really invested in them being together". That was a first with Ed and Stede. Kinda catching up on typical fandom experiences I missed out on so far now. (My ace is showing help lol.)

Last song:

The Fletcher Memorial Home by Pink Floyd. Technically Pink Floyd is my dad's music, but the older I get the more I like it. I'm currently listening to the The Final Cut album, and some of it is delightfully "fuck Maggie Thatcher, and fuck Reagan, and fuck Colonialism". The album is from Thatcher's time in office, and apparently they tried to prohibit the song from being published and performed. It's about how all the world's leaders at the time (1983) are "incurable tyrants" and "colonial wasters of life and limb" (both direct lyrics quotes) and how they should be placed in a retirement home like the "overgrown infants" they are. (I love a bit of history with my media analysis. Also old leftist politics woo.)

Last movie:

Might be the Sonic Movie, but it's been a while. Not a movie person most of the time.

Currently reading:

Um. I have a to read pile on and under my couch table, and currently 27 open tabs with fanfics in them, but I couldn't confidently claim to actually be reading any of them right now...

Currently watching:

OFMD. Again. Have lost count lol.

Currently craving:

My finger to stop hurting. I injured it at work today, and it really sucks to be honest. Ouch.

Gonna tag @tulipseason and whoever else wants to play 😊
