delphiIzzy Hands Bingo is running again!
You can find out more about the event at the Izzy Hands Bingo account on Bluesky, and you can request a bingo card through the Izzy Hands Bingo Sign-ups 2025 Google form. When filling out the form, you'll also be provided with an optional link to the event's Discord server.
For anyone who's never taken part in a bingo event before, here's how it works in broad strokes:
• Request a 5x5 Bingo Card through the sign-up form. Everyone will get a slightly different card filled out with 25 different prompts that are pulled from a larger bank of tropes, characters, kinks, and other concepts.
• Aim to create five Izzy-centric fanworks for five prompts that are all in a straight line on your card (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines all count). The minimum length for these fanworks is described on the sign-up form, as well as instructions for if you want to incorporate multiple squares into a single fanwork.
• Share your fanworks wherever you like. At the end of the event period, email the mods with a list of what you've created and receive a digital badge if you've hit achievements like completing one square, completing a full line, or completing three full lines. There is a special opt-in prize of a gift fic if you complete a blackout (i.e. create something for every square on your card).
You can also check out some of last year's works at the Izzy Hands Bingo 2024 collection on AO3.

Excerpt:
Look, I'm a simple creature. Overlaying vet advice about how to safely pick up a cat on a scene where my fave is distraught and struggling against being hugged is always going to bring me an outsize amount of enjoyment. The editing on this is great, making the most of a short scene without overstaying the life of the bit, and I especially love the zoom in at the end. Squish. That. Cat.

Length: 1 piece
Rating: NSFW-ish (post-coital cuddling, implied nudity)
My Bookmark Tags: romance, happy ending, developing relationship, cuddling, kissing, blades, sleep, intimacy, protection
Description:
One of my favourite things about this artist's work is the layers of story they build into each piece, even the ones that aren't comics. I love the conceit of the added cartoon imagery over a more realistic style here, along with the usual little Easter eggs of graffiti. In between, the main focus is beautifully conceived and executed. The composition and poses, the palette, the tenderness of the embrace, the touch of eroticism in Jim's bent knee, and the overall intimacy—I just love this one.

Kiss Fang Weekend (May 8th-11th)
Apr. 11th, 2025 09:17 pmdelphiKiss Fang Weekend (a challenge event with four days of prompts for shippy fanworks about Fang) is running on Bluesky this year!
The official prompts post is here and breaks down loosely as follows:
Thursday, May 8th: Trope Thursday - Fang in an AU or trope of the creator's choice
Friday, May 9th: Captains (and First Mate) on Vacation - Fang/anyone but Ed, Stede, or Izzy
Saturday, May 10th: Time to Kiss Fang - a free space
Sunday, May 11th: Fang in the Middle - for Fang-centred threesomes
Official fills can be posted to the #kissfangweekend tag on Bluesky, but for folks who aren't on there, I think any archive or community will only be made better with a little more Fang-kissing.

Ed thought heād be happy the day the crew agreed, unanimously, that he no longer had to wear the cat collar and the sack, and he could wear whatever he wanted again. He got Wee John to help him out of that stupid fucking sack and into his leathers. Wee John hadnāt commented on his decision to wear those again, but even as he put them on, Ed wasnāt sure heād made the right choice.
He felt good in his leathers. Safe.
But it was also unsettling. Too tight and too loose at the same time. Not the right fit anymore.
Ed doesn't have to wear the collar anymore and after Stede unlocks it for him, they have some feelings about it.

Ed drums his fingers on the table while Izzy and Stede argue over whether a princess would actually stick around to watch a guard deal with an assassin or if sheād be more likely to run off screaming. He always enjoys the fire in Stedeās eyes when he gets firm, and the spark in Izzyās eyes when he refuses to admit Stedeās got a point.
But every second they argue is a second he isnāt a princess about to get assassinated and rescued.
Ed, Stede and Izzy are fully prepared for some sexy roleplay where Princess Ed gets rescued from Assassin Stede by Guard Izzy. They even have a script written by Stede, so nothing can go wrong!
Additional notes:
Written for Bad Sex Bingo on Tumblr and the prompt 'Only one of us is taking this scene seriously'.
At first I figured I'd lean into Izzy's inability to do improv, but then I thought, why not bring in High-strung Director Stede from 1x06 as well? Things took an angstier turn than I expected, but they all talk things through!

Artist's Summary: Archie and Jim being lovely and cute and silly!!
Description:
I really love this artist's style. I am always blown away when someone making fanart for live action media can capture the actors' looks without going for photo-realism. Here, Jim and Archie have been rendered perfectly into a comic style, with so much loving detail on their clothing, tattoos and other styling. The kiss is just scorching hot, and Archie showing off by lifting Jim up builds really charmingly off those behind-the-scenes moments of Vico Ortiz and Madeleine Sami working out together or doing some jock-y bonding.

Artist's Summary: Archie and Jim being lovely and cute and silly!!
Description:
Two pieces in which Archie displays her physical strength with Jim. In the first, she is holding Jim up, with Jim's legs wrapped around her waist. The two of them are kissing, Jim's hand curled around the side of Archie's neck. In the second, Archie is holding Jim upside down and declaring them her little fish, to which Jim—face flushing and attempting to retaliate by pulling on Archie's ear/earring—is protesting.

Description:
This is a scene I dearly wanted to see, executed beautifully. The character and set designs seem to have drifted dreamily right off the show, and the details on the trio's costumes, tattoos, and hair are just remarkable. Izzy's look in particular is such a wonderful combination of elements that are classically him with ones that reflect him stepping further into the world he started exploring in his drag debut. The light seems to capture that internal glow of putting on something glamorous to perform in, while the cozy shadows make this feel like an intimate and almost sacred moment between the three.

A full-colour digital painting of Wee John and Jim helping Izzy prepare for another drag performance. Wee John and Jim are sporting looks similar to those they wore at Calypso's Birthday as Wee John applies paint to Izzy's lips and Jim holds Izzy's head still for him. For his part, Izzy is going for a similar makeup style to his "La Vie en Rose" performance, but with an updated costume, including a red and black corset. The trio are below deck, and the candlelight and lamplight cast them in a warm golden glow.

Works include solo gen and friendship fanworks as well as works pairing Izzy with Ed, Fang, Frenchie, Jack, Lucius, Roach, Stede, and The Swede.
The first work I checked out is an instant rec: in the field (Art, Gen, Izzy solo), which imagines Izzy in a Cowboy AU, chilling in a gorgeous western landscape with his horse and dog.
