Whether we’ve been mutuals for a long time or just for a few days, whether we’re talking to each other regularly or just casually chatting sometimes or we’ve never interacted besides screaming in the tags and reblogging each others posts: Thank you for being in the fandom, on my dash, and in my life in 2023.

09/20/2024 Daily OFMD Recap

TLDR; Call To Action: David Jenkins; Samba Schutte; Con O'Neill; Hugo Pierre Martin; How To Help; Other Cast & Crew Sightings: Rhys Darby; Rosie Carnahan Darby; Taika Waititi; Samba Schutte; Leslie Jones; Guz Khan; Damien Gerard; Kristian Nairn; Hugo Pierre Martin;

Well folks. It sure is wonderful to be honking loudly with you again! (Clown or Goose, however you prefer to consider it!). This morning, David Jenkins started us all off with a very specific tweet that set off a chain reaction!

= David Jenkins =

It APPEARS that David is telling us, the fans, that OFMD is "available", and that Netflix is the streaming service to woo. Now, does that mean it's just being bought and streamed? Or perhaps being picked up by a Season 3? There has been some discussion that Netflix sometimes likes to stream a cancelled show before they greenlight another season-- and well, who knows, maybe that's what OFMD is in line for!

Then a little later in the day... Samba started us up with a new #, #supnetflix!

Stede Bonnet: dashing and smashing.

Guys do you remember how we were like “if stede seduced ed on accident in season one imagine what he’s going to be like in season two when he’s trying”

And we got LOVE LETTERS IN BOTTLES

And “COME BACK TO ME”

And “I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU”

And KISSING IN THE MOONLIGHT

And SHOVING AGAINST A WALL

And “I LONG FOR YOU”

Like are you fucking kidding me?! Bask in it! It actually happened!!! Stede Bonnet, dashing romantic lead! He’s an idiot but he knows how to seduce his unhinged boyfriend!

M for Mirror (and Memories)

my piece for the "A to Z of Edward Teach: An OFMD Zine for LGBTQA+ Charities," featuring 140+ artworks and written works on 260+ double pages from so many talented creators! thanks to @xray-vex for running this incredible project!

for info on how to donate and get a copy of this zine - check out the posts here or here!

Copied Alt Text

Three vanity mirrors from Stede's bathroom on the ship are tilted to reflect three different images. The closest mirror shows Stede in profile, candlelit from the vanity set up behind him. The middle mirror shows a somber Ed laid in bathtub with a blanket pulled over him. The farthest mirror shows the past, a vision of Ed as a furious child.

sending a lovely letter to xray-vex!! he makes great photo edits and he is also lowkey one of the funniest people around here. genuinely always delighted when I see a new vex edit on my dash 💜

Hi @xray-vex! You've received a lovely letter. 💌

[xray-vex]

Please help! I am a queer disabled artist and need to move out of my ex's place!!

Realizing I never shared this on here, so here it is.

I am in desperate need of financial help right now while I endure a very difficult phase of my life. Last November I ended a 12-yr relationship, and around the same time had my hours severely cut at my contract job (I am ineligible for unemployment). I am disabled with ADHD and severe anxiety and it has been difficult for me to find work (my current gig is remote work designing ads for social media). My car is old and in need of thousands of dollars of maintenance which I cannot afford, and this also means I don't have reliable transportation.

I am rapidly going into pretty bad debt and am trying my best to raise enough money to help me move out. While not ideal, I will have to live with family while I get back on my feet (I had an abusive childhood and have to move back in with my parents). It is a cross-country move and therefore pretty expensive - the estimated shipping cost for the U-pack cube is $3600 alone. Beyond that, I will need air fare, expenses for my cat, etc. Right now, my target move date is late Sept. 2024 but I've had to push that date back a couple of times already, partly because I don't have enough money and also because I am struggling to function at all. I also recently was assigned a new doctor and will have to sort things out with them to make sure I have enough of my medications for a few months after I move to give me time to get new doctors in my new location.

I have set a goal of $4,000 to help me get through this terrible time in my life. I've raised about 41% of that so far, and I'm so grateful to all my supporters and patrons!

For transparency, I also have a Gofundme shared with family & friends who I am not out to, re: my queerness (*so far it has only had limited success, as I’m not active on the social media accounts connected to those folks). I’ve kept that separate from my socials in fandom due to deadname etc.

Other ways you can help support me: I have a Redbubble store that sells a bunch of my designs on merch. It doesn’t make me very much money at all, but every little bit helps: https://www.redbubble.com/people/xray-vex/shop

I am also attempting to get my shit together to accept commissions from people, so I will update soon with that info hopefully.

Thank you for reading!!

[xoxoemynn]

hi, I'm looking for more ofmd blogs to follow, do you have any recommendations? <3

I have SO MANY!!! In fact the last time I got an ask like this I hit the mention limit that I didn't even know existed so I'm going to keep it limited to beloved mutuals who are pretty active and post a lot of OFMD. Let's go!
