i think there’s something to be said with the way queer identity exists in black sails. there’s the casual queerness of max and eleanor: it exists as a part of them, but isn’t a particularly impactful thing to their narratives. they fall in love, and that queer love is just the same as anything else. then you have flint and anne: it exists as an inherent, defining aspect of them. for anne, it’s her identity, it’s finding who she really is, it’s finding her sense of self outside of her relationship with jack. for flint, it’s one of the reasons, and even the catalyst, for his revolution against england. like there’s such a large breadth of that representation thats still so uncommon in todays media, and even more uncommon back when it aired.

"black sails fans are so mean" "this is a reign of censorship and fear" yeah well everyone is a monster to someone since you are so convinced that i am yours i will be it

XVII. Forgiveness? What forgiveness are you entitled to while you stand back in the shadows, pushing James out in front of the world to be laid bare for the sake of the truth? Tell me, sir, when does the truth about your sins come to light?

BLACK SAILS

XXXVI

[thekrakenladys]

Every man has his torments; demons born of past wrongs that hound and harass him. You percieve the effects of Captain Flint’s demons, echoes of their voices, but I know their names. I was there when they were born. I know the things they whisper to him at night. So you can believe me when I tell you… LOUISE BARNES as MIRANDA BARLOW BLACK SAILS (2014 - 2017)

Our hearts were never one. I see that now. Rather, I have been a piece that you moved about the board.

Black Sails - III.

She had last seen snow the day she’d left Winterfell. That was a lighter fall than this, she remembered. Robb had melting flakes in his hair when he hugged me, and the snowball Arya tried to make kept coming apart in her hands. It hurt to remember how happy she had been that morning. Hullen had helped her mount, and she’d ridden out with the snowflakes swirling around her, off to see the great wide world. I thought my song was beginning that day, but it was almost done.

And every time I said my name, they knew my name. The first thing they said every time was your name, like we was two halves of the same thing. I can’t be your wife, Jack.
