Since I already did ATLA, here is pt 2 with Black Sails <3

Top 5 Episodes?

2x07 (Suuuuuuch a good episode for the ladies. Eleanor being a badass and rescuing Abigail. Maxanne bonding. Miranda having a role. Also “I’m Miranda Hamilton” and “I’m James Mcgraw” <3

2x05 (For the iconic Reveal)

2x01 (A fun episode! The official beginning of Maxanne, the introduction of Flinthamilton and the London flashbacks, and funny Flint and Silver shenanigans.)

4x08 (Max in Philadelphia and refusing to marry a man, even to achieve her ultimate goals. Maxanne reconciliation) 

3x01 (Had some good established Maxanne before things started to fall apart for them)

Bottom 5 Episodes?

1x01

1x04

1x05

1x06

I didn’t like season 1. Other than Maxanor and Silver being funny, it was kind of boring. And filled with rape. If I didn’t know that better things were to come, I probably would have stopped watching. 

Top 5 Characters?

Max

Eleanor Guthrie

James Flint

Anne Bonny

Miranda Barlow

Bottom 5 Characters? 

Out of the characters that got a good amount of screen time: 

Woodes Rogers

Charles Vane

Richard Guthrie

Captain Hornigold 

Edward Teach (Just because he was boring) 

Top 5 Romantic Ships?

Max/Anne

Max/Eleanor

Flint/Thomas

Silver/Madi

Featherstone/Idelle 

Bottom 5 Romantic Ships?

Eleanor/Rogers

Eleanor/Vane

I think those are the only canon ships I hate.

Top 5 Platonic Ships?

Flint/Miranda 

Flint/Eleanor

Max/Idelle (Although I also lowkey ship it romantically)

Anne/Jack

Max/Jack

Bottom 5 Platonic Ships?

Eleanor and her father. That’s the only one I can think of. 

Season Ranking?

S2 > S3 > S4 > S1

Character You Relate To The Most?

Hmmmm.....I don’t really think I relate heavily to any of them. I guess the closest would be Anne, with her being a late-blooming lesbian. But that’s the only thing we have in common lol. 

Character That Inspires You?

James Flint, my gay father who loves murdering homophobes 

Character You Can’t Understand?

Can’t think of one

Best Written Character?

James Flint. He had the most work put into him overall, I think. 

Worst Written Character?

Vane. The writers seemed to want to make him likable in S3. But they should have thought about that before they had him purposefully enable Max’s rape in S1. There was no redeeming him after that imo. 

Most Cliched Character?

Vane. He’s the character most of the straight dudebros probably wanted as the main lol. Glad he choked. (Literally)

Most Unusual Character?

I’m going to have to say Flint again. The fact that the writers made their main macho lead on a violent show canonically gay will never fail to get me hyped up. 

Most Inspired Storyline?

Max’s rise from being at the bottom to being on top in Nassau. She did that!!!

Favorite Hero?

......There’s only a small handful of characters that can really be considered heroes imo. I’m going with Madi. 

Favorite Villain?

Eh. I hated pretty much all of the traditional villains so none. 

Best Person?

Madi, The Maroon Queen, or Mr. Scott 

Most Influential Character?

James Flint. For pretty much the same reasons I think he’s the most “unusual” 

Most Manipulative Character?

Oh wooooow almost all of them are manipulative lol. But I think some of the top contenders are Silver, Flint, and Max 

Best Performance in an Episode?

Toby Stephens’ delivery of the “intolerable sacrifice” speech in S1 always gives me goosebumps. Also Louise Barnes during Miranda’s breakdown in 2x09.

Most Visually Stunning Episode?

I can’t really name a specific episode but the show had a lot of really good shots of ships on the ocean. 

Most Impressive Special Effects?

I dunno 

Character with the Best Aesthetics?

Max my fashion queen 

Favorite Song?

The opening theme kills me every time 

Best Writer?

Idk. I don’t really pay attention to specific writers for Black Sails. 

Favorite Theme?

See favorite song

For the show meme: ATLA and Black Sails

Thanks! Since this probably going to be a loooong post, i’m going to put one of them in a separate text post lol. 

ATLA:  

Top 5 Episodes?

The Southern Raiders (There were certain things that annoyed me a little about it but my Zutara loving ass will always worship this episode. I love that Zuko helped Katara find some closure with her mother’s murder.) 

Zuko Alone (Another biased pick…but sooo good! Really revealing and explorative towards Zuko’s character and his development.)

The Day of Black Sun (Sooooo intense. And filled with so many great moments.)

The Storm (The fact that Zuko and Aang’s sad backstories were told side-by-side in this episode will always get to me. God, such good story-telling.)

The Puppetmaster (So spooky and such a good episode for Katara’s character development.) 

Honorable mentions: The Beach, The Blue Spirit, Tales of Ba Sing Se, The Firebending Masters, The Boiling Rock, The Blind Bandit, The Ember Island Players, The Crossroads of Destiny, The Chase, and The Painted Lady. 

Bottom 5 Episodes?

Amskdkdnnd. There are only two episodes I can think of that I really didn’t like. 

The Great Divide (I just found it really pointless and boring. And this isn’t an unpopular opinion. A LOT of people dislike this episode. 

The Headband (It was pretty much the plot of Footloose but in the Avatar universe. The fuck??? Lmao. And it had some cringey K*taang and Ma*ko in it.)

Top 5 Characters?

Zuko (To the surprise of no one)

Katara 

Azula

Aang

Toph

Honorable mention to Sokka, who I feel bad not listing :/ But he’s a very close #6! I do love him. 

Bottom 5 Characters?

Ozai

General Zhao 

And I don’t feel really right about putting her on the list because she obviously isn’t evil like those two, but I am not a fan of Mai. 

Top 5 Romantic Ships?

Zuko/Katara!!!!*Sighs*

Sokka/Suki

??????? Sokka/Yue were cute during the brief period they lasted. I also kind of like Azula/Ty Lee as a fanon ship but their canon relationship was yikes. 

Bottom 5 Romantic Ships?

Zuko/Mai

Aang/Katara (Sometimes I hate them more than Zuko/Mai. It depends on my mood lmao)

Sokka/Toph (I don’t hate it but it’s a pretty popular ship and I….just can’t see it as a romantic dynamic.)

Azula/Men 

Top 5 Platonic Ships?

Watch me again show my��bias and have most of these involve Zuko lmao

Zuko/Iroh (I weep about them daily. Iroh was Zuko’s true father.)

Sokka/Katara (Water siblings!!!)

Aang/Toph (Twinkletoes

Zuko/Aang (One of the main questions of ATLA was always whether or not Aang and Zuko would ever become friends. And they did!)

Zuko/Azula (Not in a typical brotp sense obviously but their dynamic is super interesting and complicated.)

Annnnnnd I also just love the Gaang as an entire unit and every individual relationship from within it. 

Bottom 5 Platonic Ships?

I don’t think there are any platonic relationships that I hate? Unless you count Ozai’s relationship with both of his children, which were both horrifically abusive.)

Season Ranking?

Book 2 > Book 3 > Book 1

Character You Relate To The Most?

Hmmmm probably Sokka. I love food and get anxiety when things aren’t completely planned out. And I also have a lot of great ideas but just sometimes fail to execute them well lmao. 

Character That Inspires You?

Katara!!! My feminist queen. 

Character You Can’t Understand?

Mai…..I’ve ranted about it enough but I think the writers just really failed in terms of her character foundation and development. 

Best Written Character?

Tbh, most of the main characters were really well written for the most part. But I think my top 3 are Zuko, Azula, and Sokka. Zuko’s redemption arc is the redemption arc to end all other redemption arcs. Nothing else i’ve seen can really compare. Azula is one of the best-written villains ever. She’s sympathetic but also very intimidating and capable. And I loved Sokka’s development from being pretty sexist and insecure in his lack of bending abilities to a very capable warrior and someone who’s like “yeah my girlfriend can kick my ass, and it’s awesome.” All three are A+.

Worst Written Character?

Mai. Ty Lee was also pretty poorly developed towards the end, but I like her more. 

Most Cliched Character?

I dunno 

Most Unusual Character?

Koh the Face Stealer. Creeeeeeepy 

Most Inspired Storyline?

Zuko’s redemption and the build-up to him finally confronting and calling out his abuser. Also Katara fighting against the Water Tribe’s sexisim in Book 1. 

Favorite Hero?

He isn’t truly a hero until towards the end but Zuko. 

Favorite Villain?

Azula!!!! 

Best Person?

Aang maybe? He’s a sweetheart. But I think all of the main characters are mostly good people overall. 

Most Influential Character?

Zuko, mainly because everyone wants to compare their horrible villain fave to him -____- I always want to fight Kylo stans. 

Most Manipulative Character?

Azula 

Best Performance in an Episode?

Mae Whitman was really good voicing Katara in The Southern Raiders. Also Dante Basco as Zuko in Zuko Alone. 

Most Visually Stunning Episode?

I can’t really think of a specific episode. But a lot of the animation on the show is stunning. Especially the episodes involving the spirit world. 

Most Impressive Special Effects?

It’s an animated show 

Character with the Best Aesthetics?

I thought Yue was really pretty 

Favorite Song?

SECRET TUNNEL!!!!!! 

Best Writer?

Aaron and Elizabeth Ehasv aka my saviors 

Favorite Theme?

???? Not sure what this question means but the opening theme is iconic 

5 Words You Associate _____ With?

I’ll do Black Sails in a separate post sometime soon.

[zutaralesbian]

@kateaustensgf Lol I would reblog that Spike/Spangel post but I think the op has me blocked for whatever reason. But know that I saw it! And tbh i'm taking it as canon confirmation idc

[zutaralesbian]

22 (both), 31, 41

22. Would you like to meet any of your tumblr friends in real life?

Oh definitely! I've always wanted to experience meeting an online friend in person. But unfortunately most of the people I talk to the most live really far away from me. (You, Melanie, Kraina, Brittany, and Kristen just to name a few). Maybe someday though.

22. What was the last dream you remember having?

I wish I could give an interesting answer for this one, but I have no clue lol. I barely ever remember what I dream. And when I do, they're usually super vague.

31. Why did one of your friendships end?

Tbh most of the time, when I have friendships that end, it's because we simply drift apart. I can only think of two times where there was an official "friend breakup". I had a friend in real life who cut ties with me after I came out to her. And then I had an online friendship that ended because I chose to end it. (I should have ended it a long time ago but I finally worked up the courage to do it only a couple years ago).

41. When was the last time you got really, really happy and why?

The last time I was super, super happy was probably during the summer when I went to visit my best friend in California. It was really fun and nice to be able to hang out with her like that again.

Thanks! ❤

Top 10 f/f ships

Thanks!

1. Max & Anne (Black Sails)

This probably comes to no surprise to anyone. But despite having some complaints (mainly the way the writers seemed to drop them after 4x08) I really love the story of these two and how they’re pretty much the biggest romantic arc on the show. They also play such big parts in each other’s personal character development and compliment each other so well. I love these lesbians

2. Max & Chloe (Life is Strange)

I find it hard to believe that a ship from a video game makes it onto my #2 spot but it’s true. I love, love, love the story of Max and Chloe’s relationship. They’re the perfect childhood friends-to-lovers trope. Two people who were separated for years but re-connected instantly, and in the process, also fell in love. Their relationship has a special soft spot for me because they remind me a lot of my relationship with my own best friend. Who I may or may not be secretly a little in love with. 

3. Buffy & Faith (BTVS)

HOLY CHEMISTRY. I will be forever salty that this ship isn’t canon. And I also hold firm in my belief that if Faith had been a man, it would have been. I love the complex nature of their relationship and how they went from being enemies, to frienemies, and then eventually, to just friends. And them falling in love would have just made the dynamic even better. *Sighs*

4. Max & Eleanor (Black Sails)

As brief as their romantic relationship was, these two had SUCH an interesting dynamic throughout the show and is easily one of my favorites. Even when they’re on different sides and are bitter towards each other, the show never once let’s anyone forget that they were together, which makes it all the more bittersweet when they eventually become friends again. If they had gotten back together and been endgame, they possibly would have been #1 on this list, but alas.

5. Eve & Villanelle (Killing Eve)

Ahhh my new favorite toxic ship. Depending on how the rest of the show goes, these two might go further up on my list at some point. But since there’s only been one season so far, i’m sticking them here. But they’re so intriguing and have SO MUCH potential. I’m excited to see where the show goes with them in the future. 

6. Stef & Lena (The Fosters)

I’ve mentioned before how these two helped me with the realization of my own sexuality and it’s so true. They were the first domestic married f/f couple that I really watched in TV, and they’ll always have a special place in my heart for that. I love these two beautiful married lesbians

7. Luna & Ginny (Harry Potter)

These two could have SUCH a pure relationship if they were canon. I feel like Luna would make Ginny smile and laugh a lot if they were together. And out of everyone, I think Ginny is the one that stands up for Luna the most and never once judged her for her “oddness”. This ship is cute af and I wish they had more of a following outside people who just want to get Ginny away from Harry. 

8. Fiona & Holly J (Degrassi)

Another ship that should have been canon! And one that i’m still bitter about. Fiona had the best physical chemistry with Holly J and that, along with their strong friendship, would have made the perfect best friends-to-lovers trope. Holly J should have been canonically bi and got with Fiona, because FUCK Declan. 

9. Zoe & Rasha (Degrassi)

Their relationship, along with Zoe coming to terms with being a lesbian in general, was the best part of the newer seasons of Degrassi, and was the main thing that got me watching it again for a little while. They’re so cute and Rasha being a lesbian refugee from the Middle East isn’t a type of story line that you see too often in shows like this. And they’re just so pure and make me smile. 

10. Amy & Karma (Faking It)

Gaaaaaah!!!!! *Cries a thousand bitter tears*. These two could have been THE ship for me. They had so much potential to be that slow-burn, main-focus-of-the-show f/f romance that i’m always craving. Friends-to-lovers, unrequited-to-requited I just….*Shakes fist*. It didn’t pan out that way, both because the show was canceled and because the show-runner was lame, but they could have been great. I’ll be forever bitter.
