As a little Terry Pratchett tribute today I wanted to draw the two fictional men that have inspired me to create more than anything has in a long time.
And also a little tribute to the community surrounding these books that makes me want to share my creations instead of hiding them away. It's meant more than you know.

Ronan: I don't like women.
Gansey: *glances nervously at Blue* Ronan, you can't just say things like-"
Blue, exasperated: For God's sake, Gansey, he's not sexist, he's gay.

here I am like an insane person squinting at my laptop trying to read the barely-in-focus page of "the richmond way" by trent crimm that we get to see on screen and that makes ted laugh
this is what i've managed:
"In the winter of 2020, on a sunny and crisp morning I bumped into an old acquaintance of mine in the tree lined banks of the river Thames. Smiling at the world, he strolled comfortably with hands in pockets, the man seeming without a care or stress in the world.
On noticing me he exclaimed, and led his friend placing an arm over the man's shoulder over to me, already singing my praises and opening his greetings with a well meaning a personally insightful question.
The man, of course, was Ted Lasso. A Kansas born American football coach come UK coaching phenomenon.
Few of my interviewees would have such a reaction to seeing me outside of their working lives, knowing that I could ask questions that would make them uncomfortable or they wouldn't know how to answer. As well as knowing that what they chose [to] share with me was not in confidence but could be shared with all of those that read my articles. However for Ted this [??] never made an impact. For Ted, everyone that comes into his life is a potential friend, [no matter?] the circumstances of meeting. This attitude, it becomes clear, and I truly hope you will understand the power of its effect by the time you finish reading this book, contributed not only to Ted's personal life but to the sporting capabilities of the AFC Richmond team. When I first met ted the [??] was different. Humiliation would best describe Ted's first press conference. [...]"
the rest of it is so fucking blurry i cant read it for shit but hello? this is a love letter to ted

Which one of your OCs would be the biggest threat if given the power to influence (not control -even villains can respect consent-) others?
definitely Tethys, though she'd mostly just use that influence to get shiny things and free food

Most of my meta so far has dealt with Ed and Stede. As it should, they're the stars of OFMD.
But now I wanna talk about Lucius and Izzy. Because I've been dying over "Have you ever been sketched" for weeks and I need to talk about it. This is less of a meta and more of me just picking this scene apart because I love it so much.
The scene starts with Izzy naming a long list of chores Lucius will have to do. At this point, Lucius knows about Izzy the Spewer. He knows Izzy doesn't actually have the authority to make him do anything, and he knows a secret that Izzy definitely doesn't want spread around. So with his response to Izzy's demand that he does these chores, Lucius readies for his first blow.
Lucius has already used this line before. Crucially, back in the galley, he had nothing else to use against Izzy, and Izzy won that fight. But now, Lucius is armed. And Izzy's about to give him yet another weapon.
Izzy makes two mistakes here. First, he steps into Lucius's space. He's trying to use this as an intimidation tactic, and it might have almost worked, if not for his second mistake. He drops his gaze to Lucius's mouth. At this point, Lucius knows he's won.
Lucius purses his lips to the side and then licks them. Now he's just toying with Izzy. He goes on to shatter Izzy's offense, telling Pete himself that he drew Fang naked. Pete has a totally positive reaction, backing Lucius up. So Lucius counterattacks. He deploys the weapon Fang gave him.
Lucius has won the fight, no question. You can see it in the way Izzy's smirk falls. But this is just a single battle. Lucius means to win the war. He makes it so that Izzy will never try this shit again. He goes for the killing blow.
He was able to put together Izzy's "oo daddy" nonsense in the galley plus the way he kept stepping into Lucius's personal space plus that slightly-too-lingering look he gave Lucius's mouth and came up with the truth: Lucius wields a sexual power that they both know will break Izzy completely.
And it works! It works perfectly! Izzy never goes after him again, never calls him names or assigns him chores. Even when Blackbeard asks for Lucius specifically, Izzy refuses to look him in the eye to deliver the message.
The incredible power of Lucius's blatant sexuality. I love it. I just love it. This man uses gay as a weapon and he wins. Good for him. Good for him.
