Lego MerKraken Ed holding a needle and red flower to apply a heart tattoo on Lego MerStede’s tail. Stede is facing away from the camera, holding onto a piece of coral.

"So remember how you wanted to try cooked fish? I took that grate-y thing we found in the wreck and put it over these heat vents and VOILA - cooking!"

"Ed, it's absolutely remarkable!"

"Yeah, I could be a chef."

"I would come to your restaurant..."

Lego MerKraken Ed offering an orange fish to Lego MerStede. In front of them, a cell door rests on some coral.

I am obsessed with how #OFMD uses print culture and conceptions of celebrity because I am an 18th centuryist through and through, so I made a zine about it 🤷

Something of a sequel to my last post? Ed has left his lighthouse for the beach, where he and Stede can exchange gifts without the risk of cracking up on the rocks

#OurBricksMeanDeath #OFMD #MerMay #OFMDMerMay

Lego Ed offering a flower to Lego MerStede, who is submerged in the water offering sea shells. They are at a beach, with palm trees and a small hut in the background.

He first approached the lonely lighthouse keeper on a moonlit night after months of observation. He brought a letter detailing the deal he had made with a sea witch and what it would take the break the spell.

Cover (and my special #OFMDZineWeek mani)

The cover of a zine titled "Our Flag Means" by RedWrenSailing. It features a collage with three flags on a flagpole. The top includes the title, the middle has a bird of paradise, and the bottom has plant illustrations. There are two cartoony seagull stickers below/next to the flags.The cover of "Our Flag Means..." with a white person's hands. Their finger nails are painted hot pink and read, in white gothic lettering "zine week" across their nails.

A little something I made for #OFMDZineWeek over on Bluesky

The last thing the Gentleman Explorer expected to stumble upon while mapping caves was this strange creature - half man, half squid, with the biggest eyes he'd ever seen (in a pretty way, though, not a scary way)

MerMay Prompts: Cave, Secrets (bsky.app/profile/bizarrelittle)

Lego Stede facing away from the camera, holding a lantern while looking into a cave. Inside the cave, Lego MerKraken Ed, with a concerned look on his face.

"...and we didn't thank the fairies and now they've stolen my lute as punishment!"

Meanwhile...

"Ed, look what just floated down from the surface! I think it's musical!"

Stede has been trying to find Ed for ages after their breakup, but Ed's new friend isn't very happy to see him... Will Ed save Stede or let the kraken have its way?!

MerMay Prompts: Travel, Kraken

One of the production designers for #Severance David Schlesinger is a private account on insta & they just allowed me to follow them & I'm so psyched 🤣 I wonder if it's bc they saw my last post abt #3Dprinting a severance console that docks my Boox e-reader 🌐💧

My Severance-themed computer console miniature that serves as a dock for my Boox e-reader. Its screensaver is a digital clock that looks confusingly futuristic & retro at the same time, which is why I thought this would be such a fitting project.Same console but with my e-reader removed. I painted the back of the console navy, white sticker of the Lumon logo in the center. A perfectly cut transparency sheet to fit into it to make it look like a monitor.

Tired of being forced into battle by outside forces, the turtles and crabs have banded together - and now they're out for REVENGE.

MerMay Prompts: Rescue, Rowboat, Fishing (bsky.app/profile/bizarrelittle)

MerStede got into a bit of trouble with a shockingly large pelican - fortunately a retired pirate-turn-fisherman happened to be rowing by and saved him 💜

#OFMD #MerMay #OurBricksMeanDeath

Lego MerStede, looking terrified, is hanging from the beak of a large pelican flying over the ocean. Lego Ed is below him in a rowboat, looking concerned and brandishing an oar at the bird.Lego Ed leaning over the edge of his rowboat to talk to Lego MerStede, who is popping out of the ocean and facing away from the camera. A fish hangs from a fishing rod in the background.

“Do you think that maybe there’s some force larger than us that has responsibilities that make them miserable and directing our lives brings them some spark of joy?”

“Babe, we’re laying in a giant sunflower and neither of us know how we got here. I have other concerns.”

Weather is wreaking havoc on my joints and all of my WIPs are in tiny needles, so I took a break to make a snail for my tattoo artist 🐌

A knit snail. The body is orange. The shell is green, grey, blue, and tan.
