#but it's not black sails good

I don't need oxygen, I need a queer wild-west period drama like black sails. somewhat questionable historical accuracy, very slight dabbling in the mystical/spiritual, good representation on multiple fronts, themes of storytelling and history, anti-colonialism messages that make you want to tear your hair from your scalp anytime you think about them, characters and relationships that are so complex and twisted and well-written...then also just cool hats, fun music, horsies and guns.
...y'know, the good stuff.
#to the ppl who recommended the English…I’m gonna kiss you on the mouth#I watched it all today it was SO good#not queer exactly but it had everything else I needed from a show like that#black sails' combination of Cool Pirate Aesthetic and genuinely excellent writing is flawless#been watching billy the kid recently and like it's good#but it's not black sails good#GIVE ME THE FUCKED UP GAY COWBOY/GIRL MEDIA#black sails

List of series for future updates.
I hope you find this useful or at least entertaining, I thought of it while lying in bed half awake at 8am :)

I rather envy you. I remember what it was like the first time I met him…It's something quite indescribable. I imagine you're having it as we speak. ↳ BLACK SAILS | S2.E1 · IX

Kingdom Hearts 3 - The Caribbean
#kingdom hearts 3#kh3#the caribbean#scenery#my gif#my favorite world in the game#it's so beautifully crafted and fun to explore#they did such a good job with port royal i'm no expert on the movies but i'm sure it's a super faithful recreation#there are so many lush islands to find with caves full of treasure. it's like a real pirate adventure#i'm glad that we're able to dive into the water because i really like underwater scenery and being able to freely swim around#i love sora's pirate outfit and that he gets a ship of his own to sail. he has such a blast in this world#the banter between sora donald goofy and jack while on the ship is a lot of fun too#big fan of how they integrated the organization's search for the black box with the chest that contains davy jones's heart#gotta love when the main story ties into the plot of a disney movie#the final cutscenes in this world are insane and so well rendered that they're almost indistinguishable from the movie#i sent screenshots to friends asking if they could tell the difference and they couldn't#not that i'm complaining because it really elevated the experience but why did they go so hard

don't you just love it when a series has a good ending that takes care of all of its characters, shows how their futures will look like, ties up all loose ends, reminisces about old times, references important moments from before, and brings back elements of the very first episode, giving a nice frame to the whole series?
#these are the kind of shows i love to rewatch#i just finished queer as folk and i may or may not be sobbing on my bed at 1am on a saturday#i wish justin was there in that final babylon scene too even if just for a moment#but other than that i'm good and i loved it#this also goes for so many other shows i love#queer as folk#elementary#leverage#sense8#revenge#idk i'll add to this when i can think of more#eg rambles#a million little things#fuck it i liked the ending okay?? as sad it was it fit the show#ted lasso#though i guess now that they announced s4 ted lasso no longer qualifies#black sails#the librarians#the good place

In the darkness, there be dragons. But it isn't true. We can prove that it isn't true. In the dark, there is discovery, there is possibility, there is freedom in the dark once someone has illuminated it. And who has been so close to doing it as we are right now?
Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen / Black Sails (2014-2017)
#black sails#blacksailsedit#bsedit#uhhhhh what to even tag this#bruce sailsteen. whateven am i saying.#here is my darkness on the edge of town thesis statement. love u all good night!#bruce springsails

how it feels to join a fandom for an emotionally devastating media after everyone have already discussed all the drama a while ago and moved on
#this goes for lots of things but mainly#iwtv#interview with the vampire#black sails#good omens#whatever I don’t even care#joining the history fandom was worse#tgwdlm#starkid

I like how in this era of excellent queer TV to replace the SuperWhoLock era, each light hearted comedy show of the trio has a dark queer mirror. Black Sails is to Our Flag Means Death, as Interview With The Vampire is to What We Do In The Shadows, just as The Sandman is to Good Omens.
I do find it odd how in each pairing its the supposed light hearted comedy show that has emotionally devastated its audience so far though...
#good omens#the sandman#ofmd#our flag means death#black sails#wwdits#what we do in the shadows#iwtv#interview with the vampire#the key words here are 'so far'#queer representation#lgbtq representation#i absolutely love it#each of these shows have me in a bit of a chokehold#some more than others#but still its a great time for queer tv

Darrell's first day as a ship's cat and bosun's mate on the tall ship Lady Washington!
Here he is inspecting the quality of coils, making sure passengers were heeding the "no smoking" rule, and standing bow watch through the anchor hawse.
He looked very dapper in his PFD and sunglasses! (I highly recommend looking into Surfer Cat for harnesses and PFDs made to fit cat bodies specifically. their gear is well designed, and they are a small company with excellent customer service!)
#im so proud of my son he did so well!#don't worry we haven't replaced marlin he's still our official ships cat#he's just not as comfortable in his pfd yet so he spend the whole sail sulking on the binnacle and i didn't get any good pics of him#lady washington#ships cat#boat cat#black cats#tall ships#age of sail#my post#caturday#darrell blogging#boat adventures

“And this war. Their war. Flint’s war. My war. It will not be bargained away to avoid a fight, to save John Silver’s life, or his men’s, or mine.”
