"Because none of those sailors have ever described a siren with salt and pepper hair, wrinkles, and flinty eyes that can make a man balk at fifty paces with nothing but a glance. Beautiful faces and voices that can entrance the most stalwart of men, that’s what they talk about. It doesn’t matter if they’re half-right. Where they’re wrong is what matters."

My art for this year's OFMD Reverse Big Bang! Siren!Izzy has always lived in my head rent free, even before s2 when we finally got Con's lovely singing voice on screen, so I just had to make something for it— with a Stizzy focused Steddyhands twist! I'm a sucker for a secret mermaid saving their reluctantly beloved sailor lol.
The lovely @acesaru was the best partner I could have asked for, a talented writer and lovely all around person to collab with! They perfectly capture Izzy's character voice and the banter between Stede and he is an absolute delight lol. The fic they wrote inspired by my art (and many many discord ramblings together lol) is amazing and the second chapter featuring my art drops today!
Please go check it out for yourself and drop a kudos/comment! <3

EVERYONE LOOK AT THIS ART!! I was beyond excited when I got to collab with Lin on the OFMD RBB this year. The minute I saw this piece, I knew I wanted to write something inspired by it, and I'm so lucky I got to work with them and do just that. They've been a wonderful and enthusiastic partner, with a ton of great ideas that helped shape this entire fic 💙🧜♂️🏴☠️ I could not have asked for better.
