Hear ye, hear ye! An announcement from a special guest about a very dignified and thrilling bit of not-at-all-blatantly-bootlegged piece entertainment that will take place at #theweecon

Application form can be found below ⬇️
A photograph of an array of piratey goods including treasure, rope and a tankard and a brass whale (perfect for stun moves) on the deck, around an envelope sealed with red and ominously titled Masttasker Right. Apparently the Captain has decided that watching people make complete fools of themselves now qualifies as entertainment. As a result, five volunteers will be presented with a series of tasks of varying complexity, dignity, and common sense. Your efforts will be observed, scrutinised, and ultimately judged by Captain Blackbeard, who will score you based on whatever whim has most recently seized him. I'll be ensuring the rules are followed, explaining the tasks, and attempting to maintain some semblance of order. You don't need any particular talents. In fact, experience suggests they may be a hindrance. You just need to commit to whatever ridiculous situation you've willingly signed yourself up for in front of your crewmates. Don't blame me if you lose a toe. You may, however, gain a trophy handcrafted by the Captain himself. Lucky you. If you'd like to take part, complete the form below by the end of September 30th. Read everything carefully. All the information is on the task. Don't make me repeat myself. - Little Izzy Hands ** An online version of this game will be made available, but does not require signing up for in advance.

IMPORTANT VENUE UPDATE
We’re two months out from the event and unfortunately, due to a succession of issues with our original venue, we have taken the decision to relocate. However, we have found a fantastic new venue on the same street, barely 30 metres away.

Hey friends , after months (with breaks for RBB drawings) of carving away millimetre by millimetre it's finally finished and printed! I'll bring them with me to Glasgow. I'm also considering ordering stickers of this. :)) @ofmcommunity.bsky.social

#linocut #linoprint #myart #TheWeeCon #ofmdfanart
Detailed linoprint of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death in their party outfits, holding a banner with the words The Wee Con 2 - 2026. They wear traffic cones as hats, have confetti around them and Stede holds a a paper trumpet. Ed's coat is very close to the original outfit from the episode. Stede's looks like it at first glance but reveals many details in the print. It's covered in symbols from the show like birds, a ship, a dagger, a lighthouse, a kraken, a bunny , a cat, Ed's snake tattoo and flag skeleton and many more. They look happy and silly, like caricatures.

Ricky bites his lip. Oh, he shouldn’t. It’s not becoming a minor prince to masturbate over the thought of a defeated enemy. (italics end, this is a regular summary line) Ricky has a wank while thinking about having Stede beg for mercy.
