Bro, my unyielding loyalty towards you is totally normal and healthy, I swear. It's just that it's definitely my duty to rip out your enemies throats with my bare teeth. You are the love of my life and I am your most valuable tool. Each night, I fantasize about dying in your arms, covered in blood, and then I close my eyes one final time, satisfied because I can feel your fingers on my face as I take my last breath. Haha anyways

Let's not forget that until this Stede has only had sex with Mary (that we know of) so now he's losing Ed not only the day after they first have sex but the day after he first has sex with anyone he's actually attracted to, not to mention in love with

Like, the man was flying so high and then lost it all (and had his lover call their night a mistake to his face) in under 24 hours, I think it's impossible to overstate how much he's really going through it at the moment

#ofmd #ofmd spoilers #not saying he didnt deserve to be humbled #but god djenkins really did just giveth and taketh away #anyway cant wait to see ed and stede finally communicate next episode :)#and finally have the conversations ive been waiting all season for #before kissing and making up and sailing off into the sunset #to buy an inn and restaurant in s3 #blackbonnet #gentlebeard #stede bonnet #ofmd blackbeard #ofmd edward teach #if it's not a 40 min season finale then i will be rioting #our flag means death #rhys darby #taika waititi #david jenkins

“I suppose at one time in my life I might have had any number of stories, but now there is no other. This is the only story I will ever be able to tell.” — The Secret History, Donna Tartt

#black sails #long john silver #john silver #black sails edit #do you get it so you see it. he comes into the story and he’s not long john silver yet. he doesn’t have to be. but the story goes on and #and he gets swept up in it more and more until he has to be long john silver. there’s only one ending. there’s only one story left for him #to obsess over for the rest of his life. he is shaped so wholly by the events that it’s all that’s left.#like luke arnold said: ‘he always had one leg out the door and then they cut it off f’

not negating anybody's experience i know black sails is outstanding regardless of how or when or how quickly you watch it. but also, as a gay person who watched it in real time, you really had to be there. they introduce anne bonny and you know your pirate history so you KNOW she's a girlliker. she has a moment with max but youre not sure where it's gonna go. because it's 2014. you wait over a year for 2x01 and she and max fucking obliterate you with the sword drop kiss scene. all anybody is talking about in the tags is vaneeleanor. a few weeks later 2.05 drops and flint is not only textually gay and kissing a man but he is waging war on england, on all of civilization for taking away his male lover. you find this out after investing fourteen hours on this show that have spanned over a year and a half in your real life. not to mention the miranda stuff and silver's arc and mr scott and madi and the death march that seasons 3 and 4 feel like when you have no inkling of how it's gonna end. but you stick with it regardless because it's good and besides it's 2014-2017 and the only genre show with gay people in it is fucking... the 100? lol anyway. more gay people flock to black sails between seasons and the tag becomes more about the gay shit than vaneeleanor, thank fucking god, finally. you all dread the last season. you brace yourselves for the worst. you thank the stars this show airs weekly because watching even just two episodes together is too overwhelming. 4.08 airs. you cry. 4.09 airs. you cry. 4.10 airs. your life will never be the same. you cry so hard you catch a fever and have to stay in bed all week to recuperate. you know this was a once in a lifetime experience never to be repeated again but you can't help but hold every other show to this impossible standard.

#black sails #i cherish this experience so much #i never rewatched. i had seen each episode exactly once shortly after it aired and never revisited it because it was so dense #and unique and overwhelming #i never rewatched‚ that is‚ until i showed it to my girlfriend #and not to be a wifeguy but it was such a special experience rivaled only by the winter she sat me down and showed me all of twin peaks #watching with someone you Love that Gets storytelling the exact same way you do comes with its own warmth and excitement #the only way to follow up my real time fucking odyssey with this show #i moved CONTINENTS between seasons.

absolutely obsessed with silver’s character. you meet him in season one and his whole thing is that he’s just a little guy. except he’s not and he’s already manipulating his way into the crew and flint’s mind. by season four you know how powerful he can be and looking back is so crazy because like. how much of it was true? for almost two seasons you’re led to believe he’s not as ruthless as flint but he literally murders a guy in his first scene. i am insane about him

#black sails #silver #yeah sure the show is all about his journey into the dark but #clearly long john silver is always been there #seeing his silly self in s1 is insane bc. everyone believes he’s not dangerous and theyre right but also very wrong #shut up el

I had a dream that I was watching The Terror again and it was… a bit different.

There was a plot where Francis Crozier was pregnant. Not by Fitzjames, no; they weren’t close like that. I think by someone who was 1) a casual hookup and 2) dead. He was confiding in Fitzjames about it, though, and complaining of breast soreness. Fitzjames asked him if he was sure he was pregnant and he said yes, that he recognized the symptoms from when he was younger, and then told a story about how his mother had helped him get an abortion when he was a teenager so he could pursue his then-incipient naval career.

Unfortunately, in the dream, I was watching this version of The Terror with my father and brother and they were confused. “But he’s a man! How is such a thing possible?”

“Transgender,” I explained impatiently, because it was obvious this was the direction the show had gone with the character, even though the actor playing him was still cisgender actor Jared Harris.

“But still, no way this would happen,” I added. “I mean, look at him. He’s GOT to be post-menopausal.”

#mt #this was like #well after the men had started dying #there’d been some disaster and the party had split and regathered #they’d gotten back onto the boat?#the ice had melted enough to sail a little?#mr hickey was there and kept trying to joint the conversation and Crozier kept telling him exasperatedly to drive the boat #all the while Crozier had a hand up his own shirt trying to relieve his #breast pain #anyway before you ask he DID have pale pink white person nipples. I seen them.#I think in the dream it was mastitis but that’s so rare antepartum #just one of the many ways the writing was unrealistic smdh!#but shout out to the imaginary Irish Catholic woman helping her kid get an abortion in like 1812. I DO want to believe. queen shit fr!#the terror #god Fitjames was such an idiot about it #it was like month four or five and he was like ‘do you think it could be a tumor’#TUMORS DONT KICK HE JUST TOLD YOU IT WAS KICKING #DUMB ASS #but he was genuinely concerned as a friend so some crimes can be forgiven #francis crozier’s geriatric pregnancy hour #edit: the croziers were from ulster and Presbyterian. my bad!#sorry for calling his ma a Catholic do you forgive me

Some day in the future Black Pete is gonna say that he sailed with Blackbeard and no one is gonna believe him but this time it’ll actually be true 🥲

#im just imagining him talking to strangers and telling the story of sailing with blackbeard #maybe he shares the whole story of everything that went down #and ppl are just like ‘yeah right’#and then Pete looks around to find crew members to back him up but they’ve all gone somewhere else akdksksk #ofmd #our flag means death

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

eleanor guthrie is such an interesting take on a “girlboss” character that allows her to be a well-rounded and deeply flawed character without the writing veering into misogynistic “dumb woman who flew too close to the sun” territory, like her blindness to her own hypocrisy is a feature not a bug and it’s what makes her such a tragic character to me

#black sails #eleanor guthrie #do i lowkey think they blew past a chunk of her arc between s2 and s3?#yes absolutely #i definitely wanted a slower burn when it came to her sudden willingness to give it all up to rogers #but still a really compelling and interesting take on a (white) feminist character

All sewn up

This phrase has a very unpleasant tradition and origin. For as soon as a sailor died on board, he was sewn into his hammock with a cannonball at his feet before being sent to the deep in a burial at sea. Traditionally, the last stitch was placed through the nose to ensure that the man was really dead. It was also intended to prevent his ghost from appearing on the decks of the ship after the funeral. The custom is said to have originated when a sailor accidentally stuck his needle through the nose of a corpse and the shock caused the cataleptic victim to sit up again.

Today it means that when all sewn up, everything is finished.

#naval history #all sewn up #18th century #17th century #19th century #age of sail #custom at sea #dead at sea

*walks back into the room with a sparkle in my eye*

I just find it sooooo interesting that when Tan asked if Phi was Non's boyfriend . . .

He didn't say no.

And even the mom was under the assumption they were still together.

I don't know when is a good time to tell your ex's family that you broke up with him (by telling him to get lost and die) but . . . I feel like it should've been before this.
