I just realised I posted a draft version earlier- close-up showing the mermaid scale jacket, a detail that made me fully insane when I noticed it in the show itself! I was originally going to make the background cake, then decided the cabin floor was more devastating. The dead-eyed doll stare… 🥲

I have two frames in this project! The first one was a blurry little bastard so I decided to lean into that with an ephemeral, fleeting time sort of vibe. Every moment only lasts an instant. The second one I committed to maximum emotional devastation and I was SO happy with how this came out 😂😌

A frame from the La Vie en Frames project, showing the cabin clearly in the background, with Stede pushing Ed across the room. Both Ed and Stede are wispy and blurry, distinguishable, but the moment is already evaporating into memoryEd and Stede finally get to kiss, but I decided to be mean about it, so it’s Ed’s glove-clad hand shoving the two wedding toppers together, imagining this moment

Here she is 💖 Check out all the gorgeous art on the website: sites.google.com/view/lavieen...

I've got multiple different Ed/Mary/Stede sandwich fics all close to finished, but from my Whirlpool sequel, the innkeeper era sees everyone doing happy families and learning new things about themselves :P Roleplaying pirate kidnapping, a perfectly healthy thing to do when that's how you met 😌

Listen, Stede’s smoking hot tonight, all dressed up in his fancy clothes, shadow and also glitter smudged around his eyes. Ed’s had a boner the entire time Stede’s been getting ready.

But nothing has prepared him for the way the inn door bangs open, and Mary comes striding through, shoving Doug in front of her so hard that he stumbles and lets out a genuine shriek.

Mary’s dressed in black leather, mostly. Tight pair of trousers with gorgeous heeled boots laced all the way over her knees. Leather corset on top, and a crimson blouse under that, billowing sleeves and tits rising out of the low scooped neckline. Lip rouge to match, even a little black lace mask over her eyes. She’s let her hair loose and there’s so much of it, Jesus, Ed doesn’t think he’s ever seen her with her hair properly down.

She looks at him like he’s a worm, and he nearly comes on the spot.

“Is this one cooperating?”

Stede shrugs, fully into it. “I think he’s got the potential to be a bit mouthy.”
“Hey—!”

Ed doesn’t get to finish protesting before Mary pulls a little flogger off her belt and strides toward him. “Don’t test me.”

He stares up at her in awe and doesn’t say a single word more. Just shakes his head and mimes locking his lips.

She drags Doug around like a sack of garbage and shoves him down beside Ed, where he crawls over on hands and knees. “Oh, thank god you’re here, I thought they’d only kept me.”

“Do you know this man?” Stede asks coldly.

Ed swallows, because he’s not that guy, never has been, and this is not that situation anymore, and he’s allowed to feel horny about the way they’re both staring at him like they don’t know if they want to fuck him or toss him overboard, and either could happen anytime.

“Yeah,” he says, trying to remember the whole bit. “Oh. Yeah, uh. I’m Jeff. He’s—”

“Doug,” he says, almost apologetically. And then he does apologise. “I’m so sorry, I couldn’t think of a cooler name.”

Free to a Good Home- Author Edward Teach makes up the name the most nonsensical name he can think of (Stede Bonnet) for a character in his latest novel, recieves a courteous but kinda bitchy hand written letter from actual Stede Bonnet six months after publication.

Pals we made it 😭 31 years and my beloved Aussie Rules team has only played in one (losing) Grand Final in 2013. 28 points down and we were already writing our own sporting obituary. And then they turned around and DID IT. Now to find a sports bar showing the Grand Final in Auckland next Saturday 😅

Only a little late for #InnkeepersWeek! Ed & Stede are having a great time making out like teenagers, fantasizing about what it'd be like, if they'd known each other back then...Ed a maid, Stede the Bonnet heir And then Ed gets a little TOO swept up in it archiveofourown.org/works/92600046

I wish my enthusiasm wasn't so easily extinguished for creativity these days 🫠 Takes absolutely nothing to knock all the wind out of my sails- I think my dopamine is so low that there's no threshold at all, from hyped to over it. (Will be talking to my doc about med support post-travel, for sure).

We are on the edge of going from being the most unbeatable team in Aussie Rules football this year to getting summarily dumped out of the finals in two games and oh boy. It's really not unfamiliar to us but it's been a hell of an experience across three decades 😂 www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/s...

Every year in my garden there are two plants that go bonkers before the rest- the wall of jasmine was cut down for the new pergola (but it's already coming back! Bet it'll be on song next year), so the Indian hawthorn wins the race now. This thing BOOMS into bloom overnight every year 😍
