Depression Robe Print
(finished in July)
Thanks to the wonderful colouring page / pattern by @patchworkpiratebear I was able to make this linocut. I think about doing a negative version of this as well.

And since the app is eating the other pictures in the IG post:
Having some bird robe thoughts and feelings today.
It's arguably the most feminine item of clothing we see Stede wear. It's beautiful and pink and flowery and soft - all the things that Stede has been bullied for since he was a child.
It makes its first appearance in 1x07 when Stede brings Ed a cup of morning tea. He's not afraid that Ed will mock him for wearing it - he knows that Ed appreciates the finer, softer things just as much as he does. (And they're friends now - officially and everything!)
Of course we see it next when CJ arrives, and he clocks it straight away ('who's the big gal?' - and there's a whole other post there for another day).
But what really makes my heart sing is that Stede's response to Jack's bullying is not to stash the robe away, as maybe he once would have done.
No, he marches straight up to CJ wearing that same pretty, flowery, feminine robe and he orders him off the ship (top 3 sexy Stede moment right there).
It's such a fantastic costuming choice for this moment. It speaks volumes about Stede's growing confidence and self-acceptance.
Oh bird robe - let us not forget that before you were the depression robe, you were the ass-kicking robe 💪
