#...also Babel. the book Babel. also a great read for a merlin detox

genuinely every time i think a little too hard about bbc merlin and its politics (+ the implications irt colonialism, the british empire, queerness, revolution and religion) and it gives me a frustrated headache, i start being plagued by soothing visions of black sails. i don't know if there's another show that is so directly opposite to bbc merlin (from the quality and writing itself to the way it tackles the themes above, the way it tackles the concept of monstrosity and shame, the way it tackles ... everything) but if you ever need to like. detox. please do yourself a favour and watch it. it also has the craziest dyke drama on television with no exaggeration
