#did not watch black sails

[revoltinglesbians]

every so often i find out about a show my dad would like (violent middle aged men) that also has gay sex in it and I make sure to recommend it to him. he will be an ally so help me

[peri-helia]

Anyone: Hey, you alright?

Me, internally experiencing a change in brain chemistry: Who's Billy? We'll be partners till they put us in the fucking ground. Know no shame. What the fuck did you do to that? I cooked it. You absolutely did not. Let me tell you a story. Tell your governor, you tell him I'm coming. So we dance the dance. Never was there a Caesar who couldn’t sing the tune. Is that the truth? We might be friends by then. Whoever tied this bandage was either blind or drunk. I think both. They took everything from us. And then they called me a monster?! The moment I sign that pardon, the moment I ask for one - I proclaim to the world that they were right...this ends when I grant them my forgiveness, not the other way around. I am your King. This isn't what I wanted. I recognise you. Do you recognise me? You fucking lied to me! Of course I lied! Fruit, fruit. Tits, tits. You must know this. You’re too smart not to know this. It's done, wouldn't you agree? You did do all those things. If he were here, he would agree with me! Everyone is a monster to someone, since you are so convinced I am yours, I will be it. In the end, that's all I want. To walk away from the sea and find some peace.

Me: Not bad, thanks yeah. You?

as more people watch black sails can we all gather in a circle, hold hands, spit, and swear that while we will welcome all new fans, we will absolutely positively under no fucking circumstances allow them to restart the "Flint and Anne: gay or bi?" discourse for the love of god.

[july-19th-club]

seven or eight times now ive watched the episodes in which they take the andromache and this is the first time ive realized that during the initial battle, after they board, every time the camera is from dufresne's perspective it's blurrier than otherwise because. he took his glasses off for the fight

[in-elysium]

anyway if i had a nickel for every time i've watched toby stephens play a repressed gay man who's angry at the world after the death of his lover i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice

new yorker article on pirates including a section about representations of gay pirates and not mentioning black sails…the audacity

[beatlesandbards]

ok but what do I do now that I've finished black sails

[knownoshamc]

I know there is a comparison (&fights?) of black sails to of.md, but for me... black sails is the show. not just the pirate show, not the period drama show... just the show. no other show will never give me this much character depth, the many moral dilemmas, the power of the narrative and perspective...

black sails thoughts:

it's very funny watching this after watching ofmd. everyone so mean to each other. have you tried being niceys. maybe life would be easier if you tried being friends.

Flint is the most frustrating man I've ever known. like I really empathise as someone with Control Issues™ but god. make better choices man. try some breathing exercises perhaps

Jack is the luckiest man on earth. if Anne and Max offered me a threesome I'd fucking die

Charles Vane really does something to me. it's not lust exactly, I don't want to fuck him. but I do want to climb him.

music fucks severely. I think it's time for me to buy a hurdy gurdy

gender envy going hard for this show. everyone looks so good. I should have been a pirate. I need to update my wardrobe and buy a sword

[visenyaism]

have you watched black sails before? starting the petition for you to please consider that for your next liveblog after the terror if not... john silver is like if a lannister was created totally free from insane self-delusions & it was somehow a million times worse. everyone else is chin-deep in cognitive dissonance though it's great i swear 👍 toxic lesbian rhaenicent vibes from eleanor & max. jack rackham wears sunglasses. anne bonney kills sooo many people. is this working. i want to see your takes on charles vane so badly

I have had many people saying this to me for years and I know as soon as I hit the post button on this alí @leafecho will text me something like BLACK SAILS ADJKJTSSKKDS so it’s definitely on the list. However I think the HBO Rome coalition are going to end up locking me in first after The Terror

[greenwith-ivy]

"aids us from his position in nassau" mr. scott????? wow okay good for him!!!!

[queer-ragnelle]

starz was going to give us a gawain camelot as complex as flint black sails but no reviewers had any fucking taste. camelot was “forgettable” but you can’t stop talking about mists of avalon? shut all the way up. robbed. i’m taking it personally.
