Former lurker on the other platform, now solely dedicated to celebrating OFMD & getting it renewed 🏴‍☠️🏳️‍🌈⚓️ This is what happens when you’re almost 50 & all out of f*cks to give 🤷‍♀️

Was I destined to have my entire life & brain chemistry altered by #OFMD because my birthday is June the 3rd? Maybe … Thank goodness to whatever force in the universe brought me to this show & to you all! My life is so much better with you all in it ❤️ June the third. An excellent day indeed! 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡

I’m Jenn K, former lurker transformed by OFMD & this fandom. Live in MA, still figuring out what to be when I grow up. I’m an intellectual property lawyer, so if creative geniuses, writers, makers in this crew need help protecting your IP or dealing with greedy corporations, I can try to help! 🏴‍☠️❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🫡

okay i know it's sad to say goodbye to old friends but instead of despair, maybe we can counter it by finding NEW friends? 🥹 can we do a reintroduction thread pls, say hi, tell us what you're about, find new people to follow to breathe life into your feeds?? replies/quotes to this post welcome 💕

It took me until today to see if any of you lovely crew members had created an #OFMD playlist?! Makes driving so much more fun! I love how life always gives me reminders of our beloved show & more important, this fandom. I think of you all often - I hope you all feel the love each & every time 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡

Anyone in the #OFMD crew who is in the Greater Boston (or can get to MA) want free tickets to see Rhys’s show at the Wilbur on this Sunday night? Lots of the MA/New England crew will be there! I am sad to have to miss it but would love to see the tickets go to a fellow crew member 🏴‍☠️🫡❤️

#OFMD crew: who needs some pirate joy in their life right now? I bought extra goodies from the buy it now section & I’m happy to share my loot & send some to any pirate who got outbid at the last minute or didn’t participate in this amazing #fandommarket It’s about belonging to something … 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡

There are still 22 items without bids in the #FandomMarket, 9 of which are Buy It Now items & 14 of which have been in the threads I've been doing. If you have the wherewithal, it would be great to see them snapped up and/or bid for! www.32auctions.com/organization...

Started teaching copyright law to my intro IP course last night This morning a student has a question & asks “do you know what fan fiction is?” Had to keep a poker face so as to not immediately tell them about *all* of the OFMD stories I have read. Or how many open AO3 tabs I have on my phone 😆🏴‍☠️❤️🫡

My bedroom walls are adorned with glorious #OFMD art from supremely talented artists. And I still have more to frame & hang! Halo Ed & Stede by @scoutstiel.bsky.social Gentlebeard kiss litho prints by @smolbus.bsky.social Adorable Merstede & Klimt-esque Gentlebeard by @bairnecessities.bsky.social

A collage of the OFMD art on my bedroom walls. The top are two portraits, one of Ed in profile during his Kraken era with his hair half up and some tendrils framing face, and he is surrounded by a gold foil halo; the second is Stede in profile wearing his blue uniform from Zheng’s ship and he is praying, and he is also surrounded by a gold foil halo. 

The bottom left picture is two black & white litho prints of Stede & Ed kissing. The top is their kiss after reuniting while in the middle of fighting the British soldiers, and the bottom is the kiss during Calypso’s party. 

The middle picture is a cartoon of Stede in his mermaid, merman, mer-person tail. 

The bottom right is a picture of Ed and Stede in turquoise robes in front of a purple, swirled background embracing in a pose that is reminiscent of The Kiss by Gustav Klimt.

Let’s take a moment to celebrate the incredible creativity of the fandom! Quote this post with your favorite piece of #OFMD merch that you’ve acquired over the past few years (and don’t forget to credit the creator!) 🏴‍☠️💕

I saw this meme only a few weeks after I took a hard turn from silent #OFMD lurker to fully active tweeter, compulsively refreshing my feed to keep up with all the news & shenanigans, totally invested in clowning with you all 🤡🪿 This meme made me realize that I had finally found my people 🏴‍☠️❤️🫡
