the only proof the field existed series by @nonagethimus/morian
"So, this… look you're going for," Lucius starts, testing the waters.
Blackbeard stares at him with vacant eyes. Jesus. Lucius is viscerally reminded of the man's dead-eyed look before he pushed him overboard.
"Does it feel like the right choice for you? Are we happy with it?"
"Do you have a fever?" Blackbeard asks, voice hoarse.
Lucius cocks his head and says, "Don't think so. Do I look hot?" He winks.
Blackbeard lifts his hand and presses his fingers roughly against Lucius' forehead.
"What are you—"
"No fever," Blackbeard grunts and draws back. "Good. Didn't want to cut off your fucking hand."
Lucius drawls, "I'm touched."
Or: Lucius survives. For better or for worse.

So! While watching Our Flag Means Death I wasn’t particularly interested in reading fic for it, however this author is brilliant and I have enjoyed a lot of his fics, so I had to read this series! Some wonderful character studies, the first fic focusses on Lucius and the next focusses on Edward. The voices of both characters were captured beautifully, and I am so grateful to be able to reread these fics in hardcover.
It is an A6 size book with a cutout, and I was hugely inspired by bythecrow on instagram and their books. One day I will have the courage to do some embroidery! Today is not that day lol. Colours chosen because of the wonderful outfits contained within the show, and because they are just FUN. The cover design and the endpapers are a printed William Morris design, which I think was done in the century after the show is set, but with the way the characters talk in the show, I’m sure it’s fine!
There are two OCs here, in my first ArtFight piece of the year! The Lapis is Midnight Lapis Lazuli, MementoMorian's OC! You can find him here on Tumblr @memento-morian! The Sapphire is Midnight Sapphire, RATxKLNG's OC! You can find it here on Tumblr @ratxklng! I randomly bookmarked them and then noticed the name coincidence, so I had to put them in the same piece! Perchance they're both a part of some Midnight Diamond's court? I think my favorite part to work on was the Lapis's water wings! Thank you for giving me permission to post them here on Tumblr!

Is there any show/movie franchise/cartoon series that oscar and morian is obsessed with?
Morian likes a lot of superhero related shows and comic books, although poor Victor tries his best to keep his son away from the mature/depressing ones.
Oscar is a big fan of Studio Ghibli movies, sometimes they make him a bit emotional but he'd rather bite his tongue off than admit it.
The Tatter Beast was basically a creepy pasta my kid brain made to scare me, but he looks like a furry tbqh and I liked him so much that when I woke up I kept him as an OC that kinda just exists in my head. His long claws and empty glowing eyes captivate me. He's my scary friend now.
One of my typical "everyone I care about dies horribly in front of me in painful gorey ways and try as I might I can't escape nor can I die so it's just unending suffering" nightmares. Had a lot of those. Anyway he could teleport and he had claws the size of an adults torso that were basically like razor wire and could cut through anything like butter. Including people. It was very scary to 13 year old me. After all my friends and family were killed by him he chased me down the classic never ending hall way and I could only move in slow motion. As soon as he finally caught up with me I woke up. He's shown up a couple times since then in minor roles but I wasn't scared of him at all once I woke up from that and instead decided he was blorbo from my head. I gave him a daughter once. I'm pretty sure I straight up named her soup. I don't know why.
