SOAP MINI-UPDATE:
I'm going to go check on the version 2.0 lavender wash balls.
Will they have undergone a metamorphosis?
Or will they have succumbed to t̶͔̤̪͔̊̐̓͜ẖ̷̒̉̓̎̽̊e̸̪͈͎̓̒̚ ̸̬̖̹̥͜͝b̴̨̡͈͂͛͑̽̓͊ŗ̸̬̹̯̳̠́̏̚ò̸̡̼̼̟͎̑͌͑̑͘w̶̘͕̱͇̒͋͝n̶̹̟͊̉̓̄̓̕ ̴̧̮̘̼̖̳͐̃̚͝ḧ̸͇̩̹̣͖́o̶̖̳̭͔̐́̉ŗ̵̲̉͋̾̄͂͌r̵̨̛̳͚͓̮̐̇̆̉̚ô̴̯̟̹͇̾͒͝͝r̸͓̩̳̉̑͒̒̉̒ ?

Absolutely devastated at the realisation that Ed mentioned the lack of that "yummy lavender soap" in the box Lucius gave him because that's most likely HOW STEDE SMELLS LIKE. Of course that little tart goes around the ship smelling like a fucking french flower field in spring and Ed wanted to keep some of the soap because it reminded him of Stede bc he smells YUMMY. THE IMPLICATIONS!!!!!

The latching on of ofmd fans to Ed’s enjoyment of lavender means a lot to me, I love to see it, and I love to connect a queer character to lavender because lavender is queer history.

For the ofmd ask game! 9 &17 (please forgive me I live for the lavender soap discourse 😅)
Hmm...
9. Favourite anachronism?
Probably the fact that according to the original timeline, Izzy Hands is supposed to be... 16 I believe? It would be such a fuckin ride if they decided to pull a Spanish Jackie with him and it was revealed at some point that yeah, the scary, horny pirate in the body of 50something Con O'Neill is actually a teenager 🤣🤣🤣
17. Does Ed eat the soap or just use "yummy" to describe scents?
I think he does eat the soap, honestly! Giving his past he probably never stumbled upon lavender soap before meeting Stede. If anything, he probably used the simplest, cheapest soap he could find, and he used it sparingly anyways, so he wasn't used to luxury items like that. And so, I suppose what happened is similar to what would happen if you left a child unattended with soap that smells like something yummy. He probably tried eating it, and figured that hey, this is great! I'm guessing that Stede introduced him to various flavours he didn't have access to, and he probably didn't like everything, because well, some things that rich people consume just because they can afford to are simply gross. And he probably figured that the tasty tasty soap is just another one of the weird ass things rich people do.
Thanks for the questions, babe ☺️💕💕

I don't why, but the fact that Ed causally mentioned that he has indeed eaten Stede's soap makes me giggle like a schoolgirl

hey hey guess what it's time for
Update 4: Return of the (Soap) King
For those who haven't been following along, I've been having a nice time doing experimental archaeology and recreating cosmetics/household goods that are historically plausible for local idiot pirate Stede Bonnet to have had around.
Figure 1. Me, addressing my kitchen appliances.
Tumblr media
So far we've had successful lip balm, yet-to-be-completed Oil of Lavender, the terrible tragedies that have so far befallen the pearl face cream, and, finally, the unending journey of the one household item actually mentioned on the dang show: the lavender soap (with updates 1-3 and several mini-updates).
Did this all secretly derive from my researching period-appropriate medical horror? Yes. Am I still going to write about it? Of course come on now I can't just keep that enema information to myself--
But TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY.
Figure 2. One very excited ship's surgeon who will unfortunately have to bide his fuckin time.
Tumblr media
Nope, today we're on the next iteration of the lavender soap, because we're still at the "fuck around and find out" portion of this experimental process-- and so, behold:
Version 3.0 7 oz. dried soap 4 oz. ground orrisroot 1 oz. ground whole cloves 1 oz. ground benjamin 10 drops lavender essential oil oil of lavender, q.s. rosewater, q.s.
You may notice that I have, tragically, only added enough of anything lavenderish to allow myself the honesty of still calling this "lavender" soap -- as previously discussed, lavender essential oils (as we know them today) were not really a Thing, and the Oil of Lavender (...which is not an essential oil, but rather an infusion of lavender flowers and olive oil) is not quite ready for primetime scent vibes, so I genuinely don't think these are comparable to actually just grinding up and shoving in the dried flowers.
But for the sake of Science, I needed to find out if removing the flowers would help with the browning issue of previous versions, so-- out went the lavender. For now.
Figure 3. Oh no, I-- oh man, don't cry, I'm sorry, I'll put it back omg.
Tumblr media
Other changes in this version are:
store-bought ground orrisroot (...listen, Thomas is but a wee lad, and not yet hearty enough to wreck regular orrisroot as hard as it needs);
store-bought ground benzoin (because it was cheaper to buy in bulk that the solid resin from the woo-woo shop);
increased the amount of orrisroot from 1 ounce to 4 ounces, in keeping with some other recipes, to try and bulk up the myristic acid content (i.e., the thing wot makes olive-oil based Nabulsi soap actually produce a bubbly lather)
I should at this point say that typically the scientific process recommends making only one change at a time when conducting Experiments, so that one may know what exactly affected a change in a positive, negative, or neutral manner.
Consider, however, that I have no patience. So fuck it, we ball.
Show us the soap, trifles
To get to the soap, you must first suffer through mortifying ordeal of process photos.
Figure 4. The ground orrisroot on my tiny digital scale (that actually measures grains, which itself is a holdover from apothecary measurements!)
Tumblr media
Wait wait wait actually look at my tiny bullshit scale, I love it, look at its little one-gram calibration weight:
Figure 5. A baby.
Tumblr media
Figures 6 and 7. An ounce of whole cloves (left) and the results of young Thomas's efforts thrown on top of the orrisroot and benjamin in the mortar (right).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I should note that rather than grinding the cloves in my granite mortar and pestle first, I put them straight into Thomas's maw-- I don't know if that led to how intensely clove-oily these grounds are, or the fact that the lavender flowers were not present to soak it up. Previously I got a grey-green powder out of grinding the both together, so this rich, wet clove-color did not bode well for my "can I stop this from being brown?" soap plans...
Figure 8. ...Or maybe it'll be fine? I added the dried soap, and now look at them all mixed together!
Tumblr media
As a note, I had to actually use a whisk at this point rather than just rely on my pestle to do the work -- my mortar is Too Small for these shenanigans, and the four ounces' worth of orrisroot did not help matters. I won't say how much of this mix ended up outside the mortar and on my clothes, but it was... it was a non-zero amount.
Whatever, thought I. This is Science. This is me experiencing the divine art of creation across space-time with my alchemical forebears, and also this is why I should not be allowed in other people's kitchens.
Notably, the upped powder content meant that I had to add a lot more splashes of rosewater to get to a dough-y state where the soap could be hand-rolled, and I had to work significantly longer with the pestle-- while version 2.0 was, per my notes, about 8-10 minutes' worth of work, I would call this a solid 20 minutes at least of beating the ever-loving shit outta this mix until everything was incorporated.
And once it was, well--
Figure 9. Hello, brown.
Tumblr media
As you can see, the soap mix does form up very nicely, though it still requires a spatula to clear the sides of the mortar and pestle.
At this point, remembering that the last time I hand-rolled wash balls my palms came away Very Brown, I donned some latex gloves before I commenced my rolling. However, because (and again, I cannot stress this enough) I lack patience, I threw in another change: rather than leaving them as balls, I squished them slightly between my palms to flatten them into slightly more traditional soap shapes.
Figure 10. Cookie dough or falafel: you decide.
Tumblr media
A note regarding the scent: Whether it's the relative lack of the lavender, or the big bump to the orrisroot (or some magic alchemical combination of the two), the soaps, while still smelling strongly like spice cookies, now have an oddly-unfamiliar-but-fascinating scent profile, similar to what I found happened when I made the lip pomatum. There's no good reason why this should make me believe that I've come closer to a "real" recipe, but the feeling is there nonetheless -- and it's definitely interesting.
Finally, and because the flat sides of these soaps looked too innocent, too pure, I decided to try that octopus stamp again. For future reference, stamping immediately after making these? Not a great idea. The soap stuck to the stamp like a motherfucker, and so a lot of detail was lost. But regardless--
Figure 11. Spice cookie kraken soap cakes, holy shit.
Tumblr media
And now, I actually do have to wait a few days before I can try them out, or they'll fall the fuck to pieces. Keep watch for mini-updates, though, as I check out how they dry and probably do more unfortunate stamp experiments on them.

excerpt: Lavender Soap
They sense the brittle relationship with family. They sense the isolation of a human being in all of this. And apart from any tribe, with no relations, you're up for grabs. I haven't lived long enough to have a relationship with God. They say when you have a relationship with God, they can't touch your heart. But when you feel that sense of isolation in the fiery sunlight, you have to take a step back from the encircling woods. …There's a wonderful scene in The Sheltering Sky, when Port, Malkovich, makes a comment about the solid appearance of the blue sky. And that it seemed to be protecting them from what was behind. This, even though he was there amongst infidelity and the scathe of humanity in the harshest weather known to man. Could what's behind be worse? …Severed from the natural progression of family I take a step back - feeling like prey - from the rose vines crawling over the earth...backing up into the masks. They sense your troubles with the deft of some other animal who hasn't lost some primitive method of detecting the shiver of isolation. Vulnerability comes of isolation, but so does genius for pleasure. I've spent hours and hours trying to convey the surreal blue color of the sky, and the weather here. The weather is something to be survived elsewhere. Here, the weather is a phenomenon. And everyone is just a little sailboat. And it's easy to sail in one direction. I remember as a child being stranded in the harbor. I think the experience was more valuable for me than knowing how to sail against the wind. Everything traumatic becomes beauty, somehow. One thrives on their own humiliation. And if you're open to the enigmatic weather, then you're open to every sort of vulture that exists. But if you close yourself off and choose not to explore a place like this, you can't transcend, you’ll never transcend. I think safety is the greatest risk of the spirit don't you think? And I'm here, blind to the fact that I'm burned in the eyes of anyone who ever really mattered in my life - in that life I could have stayed and lived. But I'm screwed. Even the devil itself values family here – even if only for power. The devil could never survive as an individual.
Wrought with hypocrisy, I can't wait for the pleasure of another one night stand. The kind of girls that come here and throw themselves into this scene are deeply flawed, as I am. But they're also an exquisite form of beauty. Lost, ephemeral, is more beautiful than any continuity of tradition or cookie cutter cutouts. Here, no one is amused by perception or pageantry, Behind the masks, strangely, they value genius and beauty above all. It's greater than any drug that exists, a greater turn on. But it's like film, either you love it, or you don't, And if you don't then cinema means nothing, all of it means nothing. And if you do it's the flicker of the soul, and you look for it, to live in it every chance you get.
When a tree is uprooted, it dries out and is easily broken...sometimes. While some thrive in tribes, some believe in the whimsical, kinetic nature of billiard balls, as I do. Tribalism is never a guarantee, neither is savagery. And to a certain extent, an individual might not be able to raise himself from it. There is something wonderful about isolation in the woods. And here, the sky doesn't seem solid at all. It feels infinite. An incomprehensible blue color. And if there is some natural sense of fear in being human, here, is the safest that I've ever felt in my life.
