I'm really a fairy.

A Marvellous Light promotional art, part of a series for Freya Marske/@fahye's stunning The Last Binding trilogy. See the ones for book 2 and 3 here!

My intend was 'how can I pour as much of my love for the arts and crafts movement in one painting'. It's what Robin would have wanted.

(Please also check out this perfect Edwin song that I listened to for weeks while painting.)

i made a follow up! if this blows up, pls remember it is illegal to be mean to me. and i am a small artist you can give money to btw ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With 267 Frames divided upon 242 Artists and a shared love for Our Flag Means Death, we came together and created an animation of the moonlight kiss from S2. This is what it looks like:

If you want to take your time looking at the frames and respective artists, they are all listed on the website!

At the core of Season 1, there's Stede. Ed enjoys doing the fuckery with Stede. Ed enjoys teaching Stede how to spar, but not really. He's having fun with it. He's flirting. He's finding joy in piracy again through Stede.

Stede is almost executed by firing squad. Ed gives up piracy, something he has been bored with for a long time. He saves Stede's life and he gets to "retire" without dying. He wants to give up piracy and he wants to be with Stede and he wants to keep Stede safe. It's a win-win. You see how it's all about Stede but also about Ed wanting to leave piracy? Ed knowing a pirate's life can only end one way (death) but not wanting that for either of them?

And Stede? Stede runs away from home, falls in love, gives up his whole life to be with the man he loves (twice), gets his fifteen minutes of fame, and retires to be with the man who saved his life. The man who took him back despite everything, who stood between him and a firing squad, who tried to put himself between Stede and Ned Low, who tried to save Stede the potential trauma of killing Ned Low, who came to comfort Stede after it happened despite Izzy telling him not to, who has never physically hurt him or asked him to be anything more than who he is, who watched over his bedside when he was injured, who came back after leaving twice.
