#( i cant really give much of an in depth analysis yet ;w; but I just know he'd do decently enough but I'm sure one fighter's gonna give him | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

genuinely curious about why you don’t like (i’m aware “like” isn’t the most accura word here but i can’t find a better one rn) thomas? would love to hear your thoughts!! also ur analysis and commentary on black sails genuinely enriches my rewatch of it, so thank you!!!!

well he's a colonizer. and i understand flint was too but flint's evolution is beautifully rendered and ends in genuine revolutionary action. thomas had good intent but he didnt know what he was talking abt he considered the new world england's rightful property just like his dad did. and the fact is that's all we really know abt him besides that miranda and flint loved him! he's not a character in his own right, he's a narrative device that ONLY exists for the sake of flint's character development.

so he's a flat static character and a colonizer and most of all a device in flint's story. i'm ambivalent abt that part. it's good writing thomas gets as much attention as he needs in canon. what i HATE is that fans treat this character and this relationship as if it's on par w any of the other actually fleshed out and well written characters and relationships of the show. flint/thomas is not a ship its a happily ever after. thomas is not a character he's a plot device. and yet! there are 1500 fics on ao3 featuring thomas and not even 500 featuring madi. how could it be that a white man w about 20m of screentime and no character arc of his own gets over 3 times the fan attention as a main protagonist and love interest of the latter half of the show. ill give you three guesses.

people will write thomas/flint/silver (something that would NEVER happen) out of character and ridiculously porny before they ever spend ten seconds thinking about MADI's presence in the relationship. bc the final triumvirate of black sails isnt thomas/flint/silver its madi/silver/flint and all decent post canon content MUST grapple w madi's feelings and thoughts abt all this. but no, its more fun to write abt 3 white men fucking (which i cant stress enough is extremely out of character for all three of them) than it is to give any thought to an ostensibly straight black woman who's an indispensable part of the story, UNLIKE THOMAS. reconciliation aus should have thomas as window dressing. maybe he gives flint some advice. but post canon content involving silver and flint necessarily involves madi too or else its meaningless wish fulfillment and also racist. like thats just it there's no other reason that all this attention and exploration of depth is given to thomas who is not even a real character and madi when she does show up in fanfiction is more often than not relegated to silver's perfect supportive girlfriend or helping silver realize he's gay. it's racist.

#im not saying thomas fans are necessarily racist but baby if the shoe fits i wont take it away from you

okay gang. let’s go (pls keep in mind i am #wasted and i love all the boys with my whole heart okie)

now most of my friends have PROBABLY heard that i used to bias more than jin before. at one point, i biased THREE members at once. becuase of the daily suffering i yeeted them to the bias wrecker zone and now i sit here comfortably, a jin stan

AND YET

what if i want to figure out the order of bias wreckers hmmmmmm

under cut is my in depth analysis (took me about 10 times to spell that right) of my bais wreckers and why they hold the spot they are in. we wont go in depth on jinnie today. we all know he’s ult. if i talk about him while drunk i’ll never shut up. yes these are in order

jin: hah BITCH u thought i couldnt talk about my main and leave him out??? ot7 hoe forever. jin is that friend you know will do anything to make u smile rght. and u really have to be friends for a while to learn when he needs help cause he’ll never say. and i love him so much. he’s so private and just wants tohers to be hapy but jin i want u happy too. he desreves the world okay. he deserves more lines and more camera time. he deserves to be in dramas like hee awnts. hes so talented?????? yhis voice makes me cry not gonna lie it’s so beautiful and he has so much raw talent like wtf where did u COME FROM. he’s so beautiful and humble and funny and wow how could u not want him as a best friend or boyfrind. 4am pancake mornings where teh kitchen a mess but we having fun. wishing on airplane type cute shit like that yes sign me up. hugs you so tight. body language is really improtant here okay like he mgith not verbally tell u somethin g but you can tell by how he acts using his body. he might hug u tigheter and longer than normal ad thats how u know youre his comfort and he just isn’t feeling 100%. he gives those sentimental gifts. llike hey u mentioned this one time like five years ago and i finally was able to get it for you or hey heres a personalized ting to remember that one time we spent together. lots of polaroids and comfy sweaters. pooring our hearts out to each other while sitting on the kitchen counters.he want sto go through what youre going through so you dont go through it alone. wil ltake the fall for you, hyp eyou up better than anyone and is slick about it. he makes u think that lvoe exists

jimin: there was once a time when i was platonically in love with jimin. i often said “in anothe r life i was probably ulting jimin” then i saw jimin in person at a concert. i left a changed womamm. he is so sexsy that i t physically hutrss me. like wtf how are u even real. once on my prevoius blog i posted begging for pink haired jimin. three days later. jimin had pink hari. i think we are connected by souls are something. he’s 363 days older than me. i understand him sm. am i hard stan or soft stan? no i’m really asking i cant figure it out. he’s so sexy but i also want him to be my best friend. the hnonesty that owuld come from him is something i really need. we would try new foods together and go get lost on purpose.

hoseok: my libra ass needs him to balance out my life. i see him and i smile so big. ovwer the years i have grown to understand hoseok a little bit ore and why he is the way he is and it made me soft soft. he so humble and talented and deserves so much love and recognitgion. the way he loves and cares for others is something i htink i nee dmore in a friend. he the type to hug you tight and cry with you. i like that. i apprecoiate that. he big softie and also so attractive like damn okay go off u relaly made like that and im here for it

yoongi: either my enemy or my best frined. cant tell. comfortable in each others presence, no nedd to talk. our talks alwasy deep and introspective. i want to talk about the world with him. i want to descover new hobbies with him. lets cuddle on the couch and watch documentaries. lowkey think he would be annoyed with me alot. but our love runs deep. that good wholesome friendship where we don’t talk everyday but whenever we see something and think of each other we send right away. that friendship that picks up where it left off. im soft soft yoongi stan. i see him and melt. i see a fool waiting to be exposed (read my fic chromatic to understand) lately he’s seemed so much happier and i legit cried one night thinking about it. i love seeing him smile and let losose an dbe more himself. like wow that’s joy right there. i love u

taehyung: was once my ult for like a solid 6 months. i think i cried every day. his duality is too much to handle. we on firm break. taehyung leave me be pls for my sanity. are u adorable baby or are u father of my baby? the questions never end. i think he’s too handsome for my own good. i’ll never forgigve u for war orf hormone. anytime he wears beret my uwu metershatters. but he capricorn. capricorns and i on rough terms. we would be good friends i think. those supportive friends who art together and who take long walks and talk ab out life in depth. 2am grocery shoopping trips like yessss lets make those young adult movie cliche’s come true

jungkook: straight up my arch nemesis. enemy to lovers au. we hate each other so much people start to get sus. like uhhh did u guys hook up or sumfin? we probs annoy the heck out of each other on a daily. but best friend material af. we annoying but we ride or die for each other. i see him and feel proud and just so happy for him. watching him find himsefl is like wow if he can do it i can do it too. great motivator. empathetic af. his heart pure gold i swear. trying new things all the time like wo w i wanna do that. emo looking jk is my weakness tho he automatically jumps to tpo of the list don’t tell sober bean i said that ause i would never admit that out loud. he’s younger friend u wanna protect and i am in constant awe of him. u goin places kid
