But my first thought when I saw this was “Wait, there's a fanfic for that already!” (And looking at the replies to David's post, I'm delighted to see a lot of people had the same thought 😄)
It's one of the most hilarious and unhinged fics I have ever read, and it features lots of adorable – and suitably silly – art as well!

OK, I feel very basic for being part of a wildly popular trend, but I do <3 Heated Rivalry.
And I got the giggles today thinking about:
Q: What do Heated Rivalry and Our Flag Means Death have in common?
A: Foot taps, obviously!

Found out yesterday that the epistolary.org instance is closing down later this month 😔
There are few OFMD fan artists on the fedi to begin with and it's always a bit heartbreaking to see more fanart disappear, so I'm selfishly hoping against hope that Joanna Barnum ends up migrating her account and maybe reposting some of her stunning art.

I haven't read my way through all the fics yet, but I love all the art! This one from 30 December is so cute!! ☺️
Speaking of advent calendar projects: Yesterday was the final day of the “OFMD Advint Calindah”, which ran from 12 December to 1 January and features lots of beautiful fanart and fics!
Most of them can also be found in this AO3 collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/OFMDAdvintCalindah2025

Finally got around to playing this little game from last year's OFMD Advent Calendar event! (Only a year and 9 days late 😆)
It's so cute and funny, I love it 
If you like Our Flag Means Death and haven't played this yet, you should definitely check it out!
