What if...
These closeted players are unhappy but they're obvs afraid to come out...
And what if Rachel and Hudson and co (with the permission of each player) could put them in contact with each other
And if they wanted to...
What if they all came out in one big coordinated coming out to make it less terrifying for each athlete
And to demonstrate to fans in all these sports that these players are a fortress, not an island
what if?
anyone care to explain this??
hello???

the stages of black sails:
1. initial watching
2. processing
3. panic response to the word 'silver'
4. evangelism
5. finding references in everything you ever read for the rest of your life in any medium from fiction to academia and everything in between
Luke Arnold's moustache has definitely grown on me.
I think it's growing on him
That's how facial hair works
ive realised im actively stalling my black sails rewatch not just because im busy & distracted but because i live in fear of 4x10
Probably just a coincidence...
But Teach compares himself to a lion surveying his savannah i.e. he doesn't need to fight for Nassau because he already thinks he owns the world just by looking at it Flint ends up locked behind gates in Savannah (depending on your chosen ending). He doesn't need to fight for Nassau anymore... Because if he's with Thomas, he already owns the world
Huh, I'd read it as almost the opposite. You can have what you want as long as you don't want what you can't have.
Teach says the whole world is his but he can't go to large parts of it (one of them being Nassau). What he can't control or navigate he pretends he doesn't/chooses not to care about to stay out of war with England. It's fair to not care that much about a place but the way he talks about it seems self-deceptive to me.
Teach talks so much shit "Loyalty is for dogs" But also Vane, please be as loyal to me as a dog, please be the son I never had, so long as a son is just an extended object of me that does exactly what I want
One must always ask themselves when watching Black Sails: Are they five apples tall or are they just standing next to Billy Bones?
Did you finish Black Sails, or did Black Sails finish you?
Probably just a coincidence...

one of my favorite flint-isms is the way he always pretends that whatever situation he's currently in is the ideal situation for them to be in. he says 'we have nassau. we are strongest now.' and then he loses nassau and he's like 'just because we lost nassau doesn't mean rogers has nassau. he is still trying to get it under control. therefore, he is weakest now, and we are at our strongest.' and then rogers gains control of nassau and flint is like 'now that rogers is in control of nassau, he believes he can take it for granted. so he won't see us coming. therefore, we are strongest right now.' and somehow you find yourself nodding along every time.
Babies got back!!

One of my less popular takes is outside of the occasional homophobic penetration anxiety fueled chirps---and those are only coming from the most fervent, least self-aware homophobes---I think the hockey world by and large de-eroticizes Shane and Ilya's relationship. Fandom often imagines the opposite, because fandom pretty much only knows how to eroticize relationships, and projects that dynamic onto the fictional public. But gay relationships are more often de-eroticized.
I think with Shane and Ilya's marriage it's this dual consciousness thing where everyone knows they're married, obviously, it was a huge deal. But it's like a quantum marriage, unless you're looking directly at it it's just not perceived. Rookies and trades are completely taken aback the first time they see Shane and Ilya snuggle together at the bar after a game, or kiss, or head off to their shared room. It's like oh right. Right. They're married. Obviously they would---right. Sure. We all saw the kiss. I guess. I kinda tried to forget about that.
In general I think no one upon no one wants to imagine two of hockey's greats being sincerely attracted to another man. That's like---fucking embarrassing. These are the guys you idolized most in the entire world, and now...? The cognitive dissonance is too much, so most just ignore it. Shane and Ilya are constantly having to remind people that they are in fact each other's husbands. They're going to All-Stars and some assistant keeps calling Shane up to ask if he wants event tickets for his partner or family and finally he's like "my husband already has an event ticket he's playing in the goddamn game."
Now I do think the Cens team, org, and home media are pretty good about it, they know Ilya and Shane personally and they've had a long time to wrap their heads around the idea that they're together. So they talk about it normally and causally. I think the Cens home announcers in particular love to drop marriage tea they manage to get from Shane and Ilya in the hallways and such. Stuff like "You know Ryan, I asked Shane this last week....he told me he can't carpool with Rozanov anymore because their music tastes are too different [cue for cheesy announcer laughter]"
But when the Cens games are national broadcast? Oh it's a shit show. The national announcers are ALWAYS weird as fuck about it, being evasive or awkward every time Ilya and Shane interact at all. Cens fans get super annoyed every single time and take to Twitter and Reddit en masse to complain. It basically becomes a meme among NHL fans that if a Cens game is picked for national broadcast the Cens fandom is gonna be rabid for the night. Ron Lemon becomes infamous for sparring with Cens fans on the topic, until he becomes practically banned from Ottawa (if he's seen around the city people legitimately get pissed off)

driving me insane that the inscription in marcus aurelius is to "my truest love" like "my dearest love" would have been sad enough but TRUEST... the whole show is about the illusions and the falsehoods that prop up power and flint is so good at using them. but he was once someone's truest love. the least false. in this world that runs on lies and stories and theater there was once something true. and it was destroyed. i get why flint is like that now i'd go fucking crazy too
don't look now. this idiot is charmed
