where do you think we are?

The new year is fast approaching, and Stede’s desperate to cross at least ONE thing off his very old bucket list so he can prove to himself that the last five years (and by extension his entire life) haven’t been a complete waste. The mission? Learn to French braid. The complication? The salon he chose for his mission is closed because it's New Year's Eve. The unexpected solution? A beautiful stranger with kind eyes and the most insanely gorgeous hair offers to Teach (heh) him. This is a New Year's AU for those who hate New Year's. Or, rather, have some rather messy, complicated feelings about how all the twinkling lights and period of reflection emphasizes feelings of inadequacy and unfulfillment that leads to an annual period of existential dread, but that doesn't make for as catchy a tagline.

i love the level of friendship that is "would you like early access to the porn that i'm writing"

Modern au Ed talking to Stede. What is he saying??

[ofmdlovelyletters]

it’s pride month, so i’m sending a lovely letter to everyone in the fandom who can’t be open about who they are right now, to those who feel lonely or isolated, to those who are still trying to figure it all out, to those who might feel helpless or sad.

it may not look like it at this very moment but LIFE WILL GET BETTER. you are loved, you are appreciated, you are perfect just the way you are. and you will find your happiness one day, even if the sea is stormy right now. even if it feels like the whole world expects you to be a certain way but that’s not who YOU really are. despite everything, there will always be people who believe in you and who are rooting for you. i truly believe there is a beautiful life out there for all of you and that you will find your true, most authentic, and happy self. like stede did. like ed did. like jim, buttons, zheng, or the swede did. no matter how young or old you are, you deserve everything you’re dreaming of. imagine mary bonnet looking at you, smiling, and saying “i hope you find that”. and the day will come when you finally get to say “i think i have”.

To all those in this fandom who need a little bit of extra love right now, this lovely letter is for you. 💌

There's rpf tinhatting and then there's "realistically, they've jerked off together at least once." It's different yk

it’s so special to me that so much of fan culture is textual analysis for the love of the game. like thank god there are people in my phone who are also thinking about this thing i love so much that they are writing transformative fiction as character studies and setting clips of the show to music with theme-relevant lyrics and writing long text posts analyzing every line of dialogue like!! yay!!!

🎶 You see I'd like to share my life with you

And show you things I've seen,

Places that I'm going to

Places where I've been

To have you there beside me

To never be alone

And all the time that you're with me,

We will be at home 🎶

I started this before The Cancellation Announcement, Part II, and it’s been hard to finish, but it’s time to send it on its way. IDK what’s going on with the lighting, don’t ask me 😊 💕 Anyway, they’re happy, Stede is telling a story, and Ed is listening and thinking about how he’s going to marry this guy soon 💕💕💕

Tumblr is gonna eat all the detail, so clicky click to see it better please 🥹💜

I love that Tumblr is actually a community. Your blog will be quite poor and boring if you only post your own stuff. Most of our blogs contain countless reblogs and discussions with other people on the website. This is communication and appreciation of each other’s creativity, thoughts, sketches and etc. It’s one thing to mindlessly like tons of photos a day like TikTok and Instagram offer you, and another to reblog and add hashtags and some comments about how the post made you feel or what you think you could add to a joke, a headcanon, an au, a story, an art… It makes this hellsite feel genuine.
