#forever (sailing)

[trashy-greyjoy]

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

[sapphoismymuse]

rewatched aragorn’s coronation scene and i just realized you can see elrond’s heart breaking as she goes to join aragorn

like, that is the face of a man who was promised eternity with his daughter, a reunion in the west no matter what happened, only to lose her forever to love

[maraslesbian]

sometimes i think about the fact that black sails took one of the most famous pirate figures in fiction and decided to make the reason he became a pirate that he was gay, and that the man he loved was killed for it. and that this loss fueled a pure and complete hatred of england and its empire, which then developed into actual revolutionary reflections and an understanding of the violence of colonization that then lead him to organize alongside former slaves and local populations to fight for the liberation of the american colonies from british rule. and it's like. what the fuck man. truly the show of all time

Until then, I remain, Long John Silver.

it's 1:30 am and after a month of peacefully enduring Interesting Times, trying to set up a new laptop is turning me into the joker.

every day i am spending money and having problems.

OFMD was the clown fish to the Black Sails megalodon. I said what I said.

So Black Sails doesn't make a point of religion at all, it very notably does not, given how much a part of people's lives it actually would have been. If you read primary sources at the time you can't get away from it. And that's totally fine, valid choice, wouldn't have been better the other way. But then they DO have these scripture quotes from Thomas, his faith and his approach to faith was important. And we have ABSOLUTELY no indication that Flint gives a single fuck, except, season four opens with:

Flint: "And the Lord said unto Rebecca, two nations are in thy womb. Two peoples within you who shall be divided. One shall be stronger than the other. And the older shall serve the younger." Twins... as close as two things can get to being the same one, and what's the first thing they do to each other? Fight over who gets to be the first one to see the light of day. And here I sit at the head of an army of men, each of whom, present company included, has probably at some point considered killing the man he now fights alongside, each of whom, present company included, has certainly considered killing me.

And we pivot directly to Silver saying "If it makes you feel any better, I haven't considered killing you in months," which is such a perfect line because he does not want to talk about ANY of that. And I don't really know where I'm going with this except I just think it's fascinating this way in which Flint is acting like Thomas did, especially relative to Silver. Especially considering the way Silver dismisses it, which feels very much like the way Lt. McGraw would have dismissed it.

Stephen, kicking the door down: "WAIT you've been PROMOTED OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!!"

Jack: "yes sort of :) ! but girl we talked about this like an hour ago"

Stephen: "I didn't understand ❤"

black sails (2014-2017) // episode 2.10 (xviii)

[lover-of-mine]

I don't know who wrote the post about how all of Buck's past relationships have taught Buck the thing he needs to make his endgame relationship work, and like, they are very consistent with this thing where the next relationship somehow fixes something from the one before and while messing up something from the one after, and we all know Buck's endgame is Eddie. Buck has been being handed pieces of the puzzle since Abby. The one missing was his bisexuality. That's not missing anymore. Wherever goes down now, is about Buck getting comfortable in his own skin so he can finally be with someone who loves all of him. It's about Buck finally loving himself, so that he can actually understand what he wants from a relationship. So that he can reach the thing he actually wants, the family he has with Eddie.

"a deal made with a sin like yourself would be everlastingly binding" i'm going to choose to believe that includes marriage vows

[canisalbus]

Have you seen black sails? I don't want to spoil it but I imagine the "they live" au being similar to a certain plot in that show. Bittersweet and you're not sure if it's really a *good* life but at least they're together.....

I recognize you. Do you recognize me? / Yes / Then that's in our favor.

i really like when characters who are extremely clever (and who are perceived as clever) lose badly cause it's always stupid funny. and i think that's why i like marcille and kabru so much cause as different as their skill sets and personalities and mentalities are they both still had to deal with one or more touden siblings walking in on their Died Badly corpse. like immediately after grandstanding. kabru kinda twice! ✨

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.

Maybe? Perhaps? Possibly?
