BLACK SAILS | XIII - XII

[normalmammal]

flint's name is mcgraw, so he has irish or scottish ancestry. also had a crucifix in his room in london. thus also catholic, which tracks with the irish/scottish thing. and it's also established that his father was a carpenter. and that his parents died in childhood, most likely.

poor, orphaned, formally unschooled, ginger with a gaelic surname AND catholic in england in the 18th century—and man somehow managed to become a highly educated naval officer who held great favour with the admiralty??? grew up in CORNWALL and has that generic upper class accent. that much shit and accent work on top of it? how was he doing that what

and all that effort straight up went to hell in one fell swoop along with his posh little boyfriend whom he loved soooo much man flint is better than me

I hadn’t even considered this but irish catholic flint is so delicious… men will hate england for incredibly valid reasons. no wonder he’s the lying liar who lies he probably had to train his accent and avoid questions about his background his whole life. the hamiltons seem like they would have been more critical of the church of england for the time, they might have been some of the first people who accepted his religion and culture in his adult life… ough flint my blorbo I would have saved you from this world

rest in peace a league of their own (2022) you would have loved and deserved the same treatment the gay ice hockey show is getting

THE CYCLES 😆🫵🏽

the thing about black sails is you're always thinking about it. years will go by and you're still thinking about it. you're never over it. it's with you forever. you can't move on. you'll return to it again and again in your mind. an experience my good buddy john silver knows all about. come closer. have you heard the story of captain flint

[crepuscularqueens]

cannot stand the way the red curtains frame silver as he tells flint that vincent and nicholas sold the information about the urca treasure, and that he learned of this but was innocent in it

[image description: silver at the end of 210, sitting up in the captain’s quarters of the man o’ war. he just woke up after his leg was amputated and flint is sitting at his side, watching him. the window he is in front of is framed by drawn back red curtains. end i.d.]

he is performing, this is a theatre, he is putting on a play. he is on his stage, and sometimes they really hit you over the head with that.

[do-not-u-dare]

I’m like a hopeless romantic but for friends. A hopeless platonic.

[theartofangirling]

if silver were Orpheus he would be looking back the whole way

[theartofangirling]

if Madi were Orpheus she wouldn't look back once

[theartofangirling]

and both of them would think that their own action is the truest sign of love

[theartofangirling]

like i'm just supposed to go about my life like normal knowing that the greatest show in history was already made from 2014-2016 and it's about pirates and nobody has heard of it?? can anybody hear me???

[aquatransmissaest]

Suddenly recalled Silver calling Madi his 'wife' and was overcome with incandescent rage. Then remembered that he called the revolution 'Flint's war' to Madi's face at the end. Almost did something drastic. But then remembered the fact that he will literally, forever, cast about in the dark for some proof that he mattered. And he will find none. And he'll know that he gave it away. In that moment. On that island. Left it in the ground. Along with that chest. So I calmed down.

[id 1: a tweet by amess_art that reads: ❤️shows to watch if you want more queer rep like OFMD!!❤️

🫶wanted to recommend some positive queer shows since OFMD is cancelled🫶

below the text are 4 images, the screenshots of the title of 4 tv shows: hannibal, interview with the vampire, black sails and the terror.

the tweet was quote retweeted by tourmalinecrack, saying: this is like trying to fix the baby's cough by feeding it hydrogen bombs.

a comment, also by tourmalinecrack reads: do they eat people in black sails because if yes these shows all have something very funny in common.

the second image is someone asking 2 people a question, the caption was replaced with part of the tweet by tourmalinecrack, reading: do they eat people in black sails

one of the 2 people replies "eat people? not physically." end id]

Doctor Who is a great fandom to be in on tumblr because you'll see spoilers everywhere but not a single one of them is coherent unless you've seen the episode anyway. like oh the glorbon is secretly trying to ensnare humanity in a giant crab trap? the new companion Jiminy Pubble turned out to be the latest regeneration of the Doctor's old enemy The Fuckwizard? thanks I know less than I did before
