I’m really happy that Black Sails is experiencing a bit of a renaissance, but (predictably) some of the takes I’m seeing online are so busted. It’s wild to me that anyone would complain about the fact that Anne Bonny kisses Jack after she’s developed this life-changing relationship with Max. It’s absolutely wild to see anyone roll their eyes or feel uncomfortable about the fact that Flint has sex with Miranda when he returns to her in season one or that Max is most likely a lesbian but actively has sex with men for pay and knows how to make that pleasurable. It’s crazy to me that some of the very audiences who claim to want queer representation feel so discomforted when they actually see the mess and seeming inconsistencies of queerness that they asked for.

The reality is that there are lesbians who have had (and will have!) meaningful, mutually-gratifying, and deeply sexual relationships with men. There are gay men who’ve enjoyed having sex with women, who are gay as the day is long and nevertheless feel sexually attracted to a woman or two and are nevertheless gay men, full stop. There are gay cis men who are happily married to trans women. There are femme dom tops and butch bottoms and there are mascs who like femme boys. There are non-binary people and trans men who actively identify as lesbians. There are ace and aro people who enjoy thinking about and engaging with sex — sometimes in fiction and sometimes in real life. Queerness, in fiction and in reality, defies neat categorization. That is the beautiful, power, and (perceived) unorthodoxy of queerness.

Now, I’ll say this — do I think the straight men behind Black Sails were actively thinking deeply and insightfully about the paradoxes and fuckery of queer identity when they wrote Black Sails? No! By their own admission, Steinberg and Levine have owned up to the fact that some of the writing of the show was really hinged on their own blind spots as people who are not (to my knowledge) members of the queer community. If I want to be generous, I think that the beautiful mess of Black Sails is that, in not feeling like experts enough to designate specific identity labels to any of their characters, the writers stumbled their way into more authentic representation of lived queer experience, which is to say that the notion that James Flint was actively thinking of himself as a gay man was anachronistic. As many lesbian archivists and theories have noted, the notion of a queer identity — as in, queerness is who you are, not what you do — was patently unthinkable for most cultures in the past. In other words, the idea that Anne Bonny operates in the eighteenth century as a lesbian and thus would not willingly engage in relationships with men is not only untrue of the series, but untrue of most recorded lesbian experiences in the real world. The notion that a lesbian would operate her entire life without engaging sexually or romantically with men is a very new privilege that some of us are very lucky to enjoy, but it is not true for the vast majority of human history — hell, it’s not even true of our present world.

This is all to say that think that there’s something really funny about how we want queer characters to fit into neatly organized boxes. This isn’t a new problem, either. When the show was still airing, the BS fandom would get itself into tizzies about wether or not Flint is gay or bisexual, wether or not Anne Bonny is a lesbian, wether or not Silver is queer when his only canonical relationship is with Madi, etc etc. We’ve been having these discourses for years and I don’t know. I get that much of it is fueled by how badly some people want to see themselves represented in media, but . . . well. The siloing of queer characters and queer narratives into neat little boxes has never felt very authentic to me and nine times out of ten, it’s also just so damn boring.

#black sails #anyways I gotta stop yapping #its just wild seeing the same arguments play out on twitter and other corners of tumblr when like #lmao I was there for the day when like 2.5 people got very angry that I referred to Max as a queer woman ONCE #and interchangeably with calling her a lesbian lmao #when I tell you … I love this show but those writers were not being that intentional with any of this lmao #queer shows

YES OMGOSH THIS

Season 3 love triangle should have been Pierce and Chloe competing for Lucifer. I said what I said. Not only is Piercingstar a better ship name than Deckerpierce, but Pierce and Chloe had virtually no chemistry together. It hurt my eyes to see them in a relationship because that whole ordeal was just not it.

This is gonna be a long post so if you're just here for the shit posts, feel free to scroll past.

It would have made much more sense to have the season 3 love triangle this way because Lucifer already had chemistry with both Pierce and Chloe throughout the early season. We already had 2 seasons of Lucifer and Chloe getting closer and even having romantically intimate moments so there was a strong foundation for that possible relationship.

Although Lucifer and Pierce had less time together, they had quickly established a strong relationship based on their shared experiences and motives. Obviously I'm gonna bring up the married couple episode because it's perfect evidence of what I'm talking about. Aside from the domestic fluff, the two made a great team on the field. Their chemistry together was so good that they managed to convince a whole town that they were having a marital spat when in reality they were arguing about how to kill Pierce permanently. Lucifer and Pierce proved that they have good communication in this episode, each apologising for their mistake and setting the boundaries of their partnership.

Not to mention, the jealousy between love rivals was also present way before Chloe and Pierce got together. Of course, I'm talking about when Chloe was jealous of Pierce and Lucifer working together without her on various cases. She even ranted to Dan about this because it had bothered her so much. Being rivals with Pierce for Lucifer's love would also add on to the workplace rivalry Chloe already had with Pierce, expanding their relationship beyond just being a plot device. Additionally, this would have been an excellent opportunity of self reflection for Chloe where she would be able to realise the value of her relationship with Lucifer outside the workplace and within it.

Season 3 could still more or less go the same way in terms of Pierce's character development. We know that once Pierce established an emotional connection with someone he valued highly enough to sacrifice his goals for, the curse was broken. This sacrifice could easily have been for Lucifer instead of Chloe and I'll elaborate on why. Originally, Pierce broke up with Chloe before she could confess her love because he couldn't bring himself to make her go through the pain of losing him, even if it meant he could never break the curse. This form of self sacrifice resulted in the curse being broken nonetheless, meaning that it wasn't Chloe herself responsible it was Pierce's emotional development. As such, this plot device would be applicable in the case where Pierce was in love with Lucifer instead of Chloe. For example, Pierce realising that Lucifer cared for Chloe above all else and thus giving up the chance to be with him, essentially sacrificing his own happiness in exchange for Lucifer's. Or simply and in the same way with Chloe, Pierce could prevent Lucifer from falling in love with him so that he would never go through the heartbreak of losing him.

This love triangle would serve each character much better than the original. First, it wouldn't reduce Chloe's character to simply being a love interest to be passed around between men in the show. Secondly, it would highlight Lucifer's bisexuality in a more meaningful way beyond just having male lovers by showing that Lucifer can establish an emotional connection with both a man and a woman. Finally, that whole character 360 Pierce went through to give us that God awful finale wouldn't have happened. Which would mean that Charlotte survives and goes to live the life she deserves with Dan. Maze doesn't become a tool for Cain to manipulate and has the chance to reflect on her behaviour without the need to endanger and betray all her friends. It would also allow Lucifer to prove his real identity to Chloe on his own terms. Essentially meaning that we wouldn't have to suffer through the first half of season 4 and we could get Chloe's true and meaningful reaction to Lucifer's truth.

In conclusion, Piercingstar and Deckerstar >>>>
