Are you planning on a nautical severance from your sanity? Here are some things to consider packing along!
black sails is a show about many things, including queer rage, big ships, monstrosity, cool long coats, the nature of storytelling, peace vs. freedom, threesomes, home, destroying the british empire, lesbian drama, mythologizing, the surprisingly effective power of being a little shit, shame, forehead kisses, the hurdy-gurdy, civilization, being covered in blood, and most importantly, love
one thing I have loved about black sails since I first watched it is the fact that it doesn’t villainise anger. it doesn’t tell you that, without this devouring anger, a character would be thriving. It shows us anger being destructive, often through Anne, it shows us anger being infectious, like a fire that catches and cannot be put out, but most importantly it shows us anger as integral. It is at the centre of the struggle against empire, it is at the centre of Flint. He is not angry in spite of all his morality, he is angry because of it. He is angry because how else is he supposed to feel in the face of absolute injustice??
The show rejects the notion of anger as inherently immoral. I saw someone say that it shows us anger as the extension of love, rather than the antithesis of it. I think this is spot on. It shows us anger as born from the ashes of loss, and stoked in opposition to the forces that caused it. go anger!!!
Flint is angry because anger is the only emotion powerful enough to pull him up from his knees time and time again, and give him the tools to fight for what he believes in.

you know you're in the right place when you half-jokingly start associating yourself with a solar eclipse and this year the damn thing is announced to occur seven hours before your birth time
oh i got to one of The gay parts (a siren turning into a guy pretending to be everything that dean has ever wanted)
Fall Out Boy: What if we had a figure of speech... but changed it slightly
Me: Oh yeah that's the good shit
It's honestly so legendary how Danvers and Navarro both have men in their lives who genuinely care about them and their well-being but they're both like no no I need to self destruct and go have gay angst with my coworker/frenemy/narrative foil
