James Flint:  I will tell you this right now: I’m from hell. I’m highly fucked up. I’ve been known to say rude things and watch the carnage unfold brutally.

i'm wondering if u can speak to your thoughts regarding the sexualisation of wlw on black sails versus the relatively non-sexual depiction of the male relationships? i'm a gay guy so i wanted to know what u think as a woman

I’m not sure what to think about it to be honest... I’m a bit :/ about it, it’s hard not to wonder if there is an issue of male gaze with the lesbian sex scenes when the show attracts mostly a male audience & that these scenes are directed by men.. and especially since the gay relationship doesn’t get the same treatment. But I mean, it would have been very weird if they showed the het sex scenes and not the lesbian ones, so I’m not sure what they should have done instead. And I don’t think they’re unnecessary because it shows how Anne struggled with this part of her identity and that’s an important story to tell. So I just ??? have no idea what to think about it. But I really appreciate that you asked! What do you think about the way Flint & Thomas’ relationship is depicted?

re: silver coming from a wealthy family: while possible, it seems quite unlikely to me given what he (as a character) and the writers have said about his "unspeakable" past/childhood trauma....certainly you can have traumatic experiences coming from wealth but it seems unlikely....HOWEVER! it definitely puts an interesting spin on headcanons if you try to imagine what kind of trauma he could have known from within a wealthy background

my thoughts exactly!!! we don’t know much, actually we don’t know anything about the events of his young age other than they were a horrible experience for him. one could play with the idea of him living a wealthy, luxurious life, and it being terrible for whatever reason, causing him to rebel and escape to live a life as a petty thief. or perhaps him somehow losing said fortune. it does seem unlikely, but definitely interesting. however, if he did come from a wealthy background, there’s an argument to be made that he learned to rely on money and found out he would be much better off with it than without it and that’s why he was so hell bent on scoring a shitload of money. though i’d sooner think he was born poor and miserable and did everything he could in his life to find a coin to survive which resulted in him becoming a thief

i feel like ive gotta start watching House MD...

woah what’s the spicy house discourse pls share

ok well let me preface this by saying i cant make heads or tails of it but idk if u are familiar w/ the niche or being pope leonard (based i think on robert sean leonard who is now in house MD) but from what i can tell the House Discourse refers to a group of people who made up a fake show with robert sean leonard in it and every night they rise and start talking about it

can u give like a brief summary of killing stalking? bc i don't want to read it but i can't really find out what it's about

sure. it’s about college student with borderline syndrome whose stalking his crush only to find out this crush of his is a serial killer. and then there’s gore, physical and mental abuse, stockholm syndrome and a lot of other very sweet things. i... i liked it 

i could’ve found it disturbing, but heeey! i’m a hannibal fan, so not easily shoked or appauled or anything really at this point

another thought: flint ~thinks~ he's in love with miranda while just sort of having? new feelings? about thomas? that he can't quite identify? until he kisses thomas for the first time and he's like OH THIS IS LOVE

true true!! I didn’t even think about that!
