Con has been sending a lot of love lately, this time with some much needed Cooper love!

Selfie of Con O'Neill lying back on a bed, hugging a smallish dog so that their faces are pressed together. Con smiles happily up at the camera. “Home x ” is written near the center of the photo.

Another selfie of Con and his dog Cooper lying on the bed. Con looks at the dog while Cooper looks directly at the camera.

Another selfie, from a different angle. Cooper is still snuggled up to Con, who now looks down at the camera as he takes the photo from chest height.

Vico is seen at a three-quarter angle, from the ankles up, standing in a wide-legged stance in front of a cave wall. They are holding a sword, which is blurry from movement, and they are wearing an English Navy uniform, including a tricorn hat but sans jacket. They look down at the camera with a serious expression.

Also-- Vico went out to see James Tom's show!!!

Instagram Story shared by Vico Ortiz, with a selfie of Vico and a friend or fan, standing in a corridor at the venue of James Tom’s show. Text below the photo reads, “Not me and @ PuertoRicaNinja being such cuties at the @ JamesTomXO show!! (Face With Hearts emoji)”. Text above the photo (presumably added by Vico) reads, “So fuckin cute!!” (with 4 u’s and 4 e’s, followed by 2 emojis: Holding Back Happy Tears, Heart Hands) and “LOL I ran from rehearsal in Costa Mesa to K-town cuz I couldn’t miss James do his stand up! (Face With Steam From Nose emoji)”

Insta Story with a selfie of Vico and James Tom. James gives a broad, closed-mouth smile while Vico sticks out their tongue, curling it upwards to place its tip on their top lip. Text at the bottom of the photo reads, “Finally seeing each other IRL since… 2018?! @ JamesTomXO”.

I’ll be talking about my career and my book ‘Beyond The Throne’. The Crescent is a wonderful arts charity so you can donate what you want for tickets (heart hands emoji). Photo by Charles McQuillan.” A photo included in the tweet shows Kristian sitting behind stacks of books and holding up his memoir “Beyond the Throne” while smiling at the camera.

= Ruibo Qian =

Our Pirate Queen has been keeping us fed on cat content lately, and some shots of her as well! She's always sending love!

A fluffy black & white cat with green eyes lies on its back with its front paws drawn up like little t-rex arms. Its head is turned to look curiously at the camera.The same black & white cat's face peeks out from under a cosy nest consisting of a fluffy blanket with a bed sheet on top.

Selfie of Ruibo Qian sitting on a sofa or bed with lots of different cushions and blankets. She looks up at the camera with a closed-mouth smile. Her hair is up in a messy bun or ponytail, and she is wearing a simple white tank top and no make-up.

= Anapela Polata'ivao =

Just some more promo shots of Auntie for Tinā, which is doing ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL in theatres!

Photo of Anapela Polata'ivao and director Miki Magasiva. They are seen from about the ankles up, both posing with their arms crossed. Miki looks at the camera with a skeptical expression, eyes narrowed and brow creased. Anapela's eyes are narrowed too, but she also smiles slightly. She wears a dark green long-sleeved top under a yellow and orange puletasi, which consists of a plain orange skirt and a tunic-length, short-sleeved top with a hibiscus flower pattern. Her hair is tied back with a white flower tucked into it just above her ear. Miki wears a black baseball cap, a light grey button-up shirt with a white t-shirt underneath, and dark grey trousers. Another photo of Anapela Polata'ivao and Miki Magasiva from the same shoot. They both smile at the camera as Miki stands behind Anapela and leans down to hug her. Anapela grasps his shoulder with one hand, her other hand placed gently on his elbow.

= Dominic Burgess =

Dominic also wished everyone a very special May the 4th be with you with some BTS of his character Beef from The Skeleton Crew!

Guest Starring credits for “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew”, written in light blue on a black background with many white dots/stars. It reads, “Guest Starring (In order of appearance): Nooma – Geneva Carr, Maree – Cass Buggé, Garree – M.J. Kang, Beef – Dominic Burgess, Benjar Pranic – Alfred Molina, Brutus – Fred Tatasciore, Gunter – Jaleel White, X-wing Commander Kent – Andy Powers”.Dominic Burgess as Beef in Skeleton Crew. He is seen from the side, standing next to a lit brazier that casts the scene in a dim light. Beef has one foot propped up on what looks like a small office chair, and his head is turned to look towards the camera. The area he is in looks chaotic; directly behind him is what looks like a rocky wall, and in the background, there are metal structures lit in green and blue, some with tarpaulins or fabric draped over them.

Selfie of Dominic as Beef in Star Wars Skeleton Crew. The left side of is face looks heavily scarred, his nose squished upwards. His left eye is a cloudy light blue. His thin, long dark hair is brushed back and falls down over his shoulders.

== Adopt Our Crew ==

Our friends over at @adoptourcrew sent out a reminder and celebration of the AAPI cast, crew, and community. Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, friends!

Bluesky post from AdoptOurCrew.bsky.social‬: “May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and Max has featured OFMD in its collection showcasing Asian American and Pacific Islander voices under the category ‘Oceanic Feeling’ (wave emoji, anchor emoji). This month (and every month) we celebrate the AAPI cast, crew, and community (Pirate Flag emoji, 2 Pink Hearts emoji).” The post includes a screenshot of the Oceanic Feeling collection on the HBO Max page. There is a graphic with the black & white OFMD season 2 promo image of Stede and Ed's faces arranged in a heart shape that also resembles a skull, placed on a hot pink background next to the OFMD logo.

= Tiny Crew Big Raffle =

Some additional items are up in the Tiny Crew Big Raffle 2! Reminder, the raffle was extended to May 17th! Get your donations in before then! More info here!

Image description by Tiny Crew Big Raffle: A hull of a Tiny Crew boat, on a white sheet of card with two triangle flag shapes cut out. A painted mast is behind the hull, with a palette and a paintbrush covered in brown paint behind that.


Instagram post caption from @ TinyCrewBigRaffle: “No, your eyes do not deceive you. That *is* the hull of an original Tiny Boat, all the way from Zheng's cabin in Our Flag Means Death Season 2. We didn't include this boat in the first # TinyCrewBigRaffle as it doesn't have a flag, or a mast, but we've decided it's time for some extensive repairs and for it to go to a new # TinyRaffleBigCrew home. You can now win this combination of OFMD history - both prop and charity raffle! 100% genuine OFMD prop in the bottom and a 100% Tiny Crew Big Raffle repair job from the mast up, with an extra special flag Amy is working on. Donate to win!”

Also, it's a lot more recent than the 4th, but I wanted to make sure it got posted in time--

Photo of a small embroidery hoop with a tiny embroidered Blackbeard standing under a tree all casual with his arms spread to show just how relaxed he is, and an equally tiny embroidered Edward flailing his arms and kicking his leg after flinging away the snake that fell onto him off the tree.

Instagram post caption from @ TinyCrewBigRaffle: “The talent and the generosity in this fandom continues to blow us away. With just a few days left of # TinyCrewBigRaffle 2 we've been offered another amazing runner up prize, this time an embroidery from the OFMD S1 Gayeaux Tapestry maker, @ OwlTrousers1! Donate as little as £5 / $5 / €5 to one of our 3 charities, @ SheldrickTrust, @ MermaidsGender or @ WCKitchen to win this, or any of our other amazing prizes, including our S2 Monkey prop, donated by @ MegSetDec.”

Hey lovelies. I hope you're all doing okay. Love Notes are short tonight because I'm not feeling very well. If you're struggling with something you've done, try to forgive yourself if you can.
