It happened. She has committed to the plan, to me. [...] She needs for there to be a man in the governor's office, not Jack. A man of her choosing, and she wants me to be his wife. [...] Just for appearance? And you said no? Why would you do that?

[...] are you asking me to believe that Anne killed eight men, risked her life, utterly destroyed both our reputations, to say nothing of the damage done to her relationship with me, to remove you from that tent, and that she did it all because she secretly wants to fuck you?

BLACK SAILS | 2.02

i've always found the scene where anne dismisses mrs mapleton who was being too rough with max so that she (anne) can take over tending to max both very erotic and romantic... i remember reading a post a while back critiquing it for being too phallic-centered, i guess because we get this shot of anne lubbing up the metal hose that goes up inside max to wash out her cervix, that somehow that detail in and off itself is male-gaze-y - which seems to me like such an obtuse, bad faith reading. not even getting into the fact that lesbian women penetrate each other for pleasure you know lol like it's not a sexual scene. no one is getting off. but it is a sensual scene and it does so much in such a short simple moment - from answering the questions we've had about the experience of being a woman pirate (unaddressed until now (!)) the brutality anne has had to grow into to be respected by the dangerous men around her, to the logistics of 1700s birth control (which shows attention to detail - max magically not getting pregnant would have been unaddressed in a lesser show, i think), to the understanding between two women who know the specific physical pain of sexual violence, not because of the magic essence of womanhood but because of class (that it is a woman who is initially tending to max like cattle, dismissive of her pain, accustomed to profiting off the sexual labor of other women is, i think, not an accident), to like the bodice-ripper-esque erotic fantasy of being treated gently in one's most vulnerable places by what up until them had been presented as a brute - when anne says "i only thought they'd kill you" it tells max two things: that she is both barbarous and kind. like it's not erotic because it's about penetrating a pussy, it's erotic because it's about the power anne has to hurt max like the other pirates have done and how she chooses not to when she touches max's pussy. there's a difference. read a romance novel for crying out loud
