BLACK SAILS 10th Anniversary Celebration Day Two: Favorite Dynamic: Max/Eleanor

II. • And then what? Then they blockade the island, choke off trade. A few crews will resist, but how long can they survive without my father's support? One by one their numbers will dwindle. The fort will be abandoned. Soldiers will storm the beach. By the time the smoke clears, my father will have arrived. First time he's set foot here in five years waving the royal commission that his bribes purchased and lording over the place. Round of applause, the new governor. Somewhere in London, some foul fuck will get news of all of this, light his pipe and say, "Finally, all is right again in Nassau." XIX. • You saying this ain't real? Of course it is. The fort will be repaired. If he says it, he'll do it. When you first opened that door and showed me the Urca gold, do you know what I saw? A solution. The mortar that would secure the sand beneath our feet. The thing I could offer to England or Spain or whomever arrived here and threatened to reorder things, and say, "Take this and leave me be." Everything is dependent upon that gold, and right now it is sitting in a fort with no guns and full of holes.

Hey, guys. Sorry I've been so quiet, it's been crazy.

Quick question: how would guys feel about me posting things other than Turn? Specifically Black Sails?

i think a big part of what i love about black sails is that it encourages the audience to engage with their own analysis of the show, the ideologies it portrays, and the version of the story it tells. it isn't a perfect show, and it isn't the ultimate leftists guide to the perfect revolution, but i would argue anyone who wanted that is seriously looking in all the wrong places. because black sails is a story about the importance of narratives and how easy it is for them to be manipulated. any remotely astute audience member thusly questions the narrative pushed by the show itself. also, the show doesn't spoon feed you the answers on which characters are right and which ones are wrong, rarely is the there a straightforward answer. Really watching the show means really questioning it, prying it open and turning it inside out, and ultimately coming to the conclusion that no, it wasn't telling the truth 100% of the time, that it wasn't always right, and knowing, that's exactly what it wanted you to find out

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

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

I'm a lesbian and i see myself in media about bi women, also in media about gay/bi men. even if it's not Entirely made for me, it's still for me. and I know and hope that other gay/bi people are able to see parts of themselves in lesbian media. sorry to be cheesy but we are more similar than we are different and it's those experiences we share that draw us to these stories in the first place, and the reason we're even telling them <3

sometimes, it's not so much about the romance as it is about the devotion. the adoration.
