I totally agree with you. This is baiting. All the references in S1 to Marcus being gay are just irrelevant? Guess the network/writers couldn't deal with an explicitly GAY lead in a mainstream show. I know bi rep is important, but this isn't that. It was a dramatic 180 on turning a gay character into someone with attraction to women. If in S1 they hadn't said "girls arent your flavour" and other implications, then fine, but they didn't do that. why does every show disappoint me in the end

100% agreed but sadly this is what happens with most shows, they bring a gay character but turn them “bisexual” (read: give them one or multiple random heterosexual relationships, which are given way more screentime and attention) later on because they fear they’ll lose audience otherwise. it’s literally all about the money: they count on homophobic viewers (thought to be the majority) to make the show successful. why do you think the story between marcus and peter was probably the most underdeveloped? honestly the only shows who didn’t screw me over so far were hannibal and black sails lmao. it’s depressing but i’m just not surprised, at all

"There is a character that ends up being truly loyal to Flint, and it’s wonderful. In the last few episodes, one of the characters comes into the fore that’s been in the background" - Toby Stephens. Collider Interview This is Thomas yes? I mean it has to be thomas, fuelmylonginghereplease

Oh I know what you mean, I need that to be Thomas too! I’m a bit half and half on it though; one part of me has resigned myself to the fact they’re probably going to keep Thomas as a small footnote in the finale, but the other half of me can’t help but feel like there’s no one else it could be but Thomas, at least no one that makes sense. It’s either Degroot, Dooley, Joji or Ben Gunn, and the first two have been in the foreground for awhile (though I won’t lie the thought of Degroot of all people being the loyal one would be slightly hilarious). Joji I kind of doubt, they haven’t let him do anything for seasons (sadly :( give joji something to do dammit). Ben Gunn is still loyal to Billy that we’ve seen and was against Flint at the beginning of the season and he has no motive to be loyal to Flint. Anyone else it could be has loyalties elsewhere or has been in the foreground.

Thomas is the only obvious person who fits the description. There’s no one else in the background who would care about Flint or has the motive to be absolutely loyal to him the way Thomas would. And given that everyone’s suddenly gunning for Flint, they’re going to have to do a lot of convincing for someone else to care that much if it isn’t Thomas.

Also, as a shoutout to the Odyssey, Penelope was also in the background until Odysseus returned and was completely loyal to him until the end. There’s also Dulcinea, the one who motivated Don Quixote’s actions, who was never seen but always spoken of and was important to the story, who has “always been in the background.” 

There’s also the overarching theme of the decision to keep fighting or “walking away from England, from Nassau, from civilization. One can be happy that way can’t they? A life of isolation and uncertainty as long as it is lived with someone you love and who loves you back.” This is a prospect faced by all the main characters, and I don’t think Flint will be an exception.

I'm a terrible gay and apparently only drunk me can flirt which isn't helpful, but my safe strategy is lots of winky emojis, compliments (e/g when a guy said he was training to be a professor, i said i would have paid a lot more attention if my lecturers were as attractive as him) how god damn cheesy ik, but like i said, terrible gay. if all else fails, ask to go for coffee or something but i dont know how that is done as i usually wait for the other person to ask imsorrymyadviceispoor

same i can only flirt when i’m drunk. okay winky emojis and compliments imma try more of that. i’m like suuuper cheesy and shit. i’m afraid she’ll think imma dumb gay or somethin sfgsdjhfkjsdhad.  it’s not poor, it was good. i’ll try that advice.thanks for helping ❤

(I'm very tired and originally typed merry Christmas and i was about to send it before I realised it didn't seem right) Happy birthday!! I hope you have a lovely day and do something nice yourself!

your ask gave me a laugh, and I really needed one earlier today, so thank you doubly for that! It has been a good day, as a matter of fact!

The Alan Cumming gif set is from a BBC program called Queers that was made for pride. It had five or six episodes with different actors delivering a monologue about their experiences from different points in history.

Oh thanks!

starrrwars replied to your post: I'm also a bit sad and having scotch! I have two...

Yeh, I do get the impression if Kent kissed him, he’d be like wow unfortunate you tripped and fell into my face. Also those are all great songs (especially the instrumental ones) and now i just want to make a flinthamilton playlist. I hope you feel better!

it’s funny, cause Kent is much shorter than he is, but oops I guess it happens. seriously tho, I think eventually Joe would just try being with him, cause he is from work, so he doesn’t put him in danger and he can understand how it is. but it would take some time.

[neverloumandover]

I'm also a bit sad and having scotch! I have two questions. One, I just finished watching Whitechapel and that ending with Kent asking Joe for a drink was deffo a date date gay thing right? I can take that as canon? Also what songs do you associate with flinthamilton?

cheers then, mate!1. he definitely did ask him out. I am not 100% of Joe really took it that way tho, but it’s definitely canon that Kent has a crush on him. And I think they would develop that kind of relationship if they hadn’t cancel it [glares]2. I have a whole list here but also some instrumental music.On the nature of the daylight - Max Richter, we had today -rachel portmanthe departure -max richter
