i’m sorry as a woman im imagining what it was like for miranda to be completely shunted to the side by flint the moment they arrived in nassau, to go from being her husband and friend’s equal partner in their pursuits to some “fancy bit of puritan tail”. and of course flint says he doesn’t see her that way and of course she knows she’s not a fighter and can’t join him on the walrus but god, to be stuck in that goddamn house away from literally all the action. playing nurse to her new psuedo-husband when he comes home to her on death’s door. and for all flint’s insistence that “these men are dangerous, these men will kill you, you’re safer here while i go out and do all the dirty work”, well… in walks eleanor.

#black sails #miranda barlow #miranda hamilton #eleanor guthrie #i just think WOMEN #our five sort of main female characters #eleanor max anne madi and miranda #all exist at different points on this really interesting axis #of femininity and power #how they use their womanhood to gain power #how they overcome their womanhood to gain power #idk im just thinking thoughts

men who hate people having their silly little lotr ships are so silly and get so wound up about how someone else has interpreted a piece of fiction

like girl i literally don’t care if you don’t ship them why are you all up in MY business about how i’ve interpreted legolas and gimli’s ending as aligning with early-mid 20th century queer coding??

#lotr #lord of the rings #the hobbit #tolkien #gimleaf #gigolas #makes me angry and also amuses me #sure the dude who runs around singing silly songs isn’t at least a LITTLE BIT gay??#wdym most of the other male characters get married to women and have children?#and these two go off together and then sail to elf heaven??#like that’s basically how queer couples existed for a large portion of history

Can you elaborate on the Our Flag Means Death thing? If you want

Yeah! So I get that realism isn't the be-all end-all of fiction, but. I really wish Taika Waititi et al. had done even 30 seconds of research on 18th century American history before they wrote an extended joke about the protagonist having a "man for sale" in episode 3. Yes, it's a white man being sold, but a guy still gets led to a market by a rope around his neck and then auctioned off... and this is played for laughs. I don't know a ton of Caribbean history, but even I know that no one in Nassau in 1717 would have been confused by the idea of selling a human being, the way they are on OFMD.

That was all before I found out that the real Stede Bonnet was a known enslaver and possible rapist. I think his story could be a horror comedy about a horrible person being horrible (see: What We Do in the Shadows) but the Stede we see on OFMD spouts progressive pop-psych slogans and is allegedly here to teach us radical self-love. Not a great combination.

Also, I'm one of the people who found OFMD unwatchable partially because I'd seen Black Sails. Black Sails came out 8 years before, features a lot of the same historical figures and Treasure Island characters, and has more queer rep than OFMD. But Black Sails's main plot is about a doomed-yet-glorious fight to end slavery in the Americas in the 1700s, and it is unflinchingly honest in its depictions of racism, imperialism, and homophobia. So it's jarring and deeply unfunny to see some of that same material cleaned up (the polyamorous main character is now a monogamous gay man; the kill-or-be-enslaved stakes are now potted plant thefts) or else swept under the rug (acknowledging slavery and homophobia would ruin the fun! let's pretend they don't exist!) for a different show that gets lauded as "groundbreaking" for its milquetoast repackaging of queerness.

I’ve spent my life trying to build something here. It’s all I have. I can’t just walk away. It is not all you have!

so...willow. willow is mastermind in action. it’s a love potion bubbling, an aphrodisiac seeping through your veins as you follow the red string of fate to your lover, your soulmate, your predetermined destiny. it’s the pull between fate and control. ‘wherever you stray, i follow.’ is this your choice, or are your feet merely following the path set for you by the alignment of the planets and the fates and all the stars during your birth? you find yourself trapped in a box of your own making, trapped in the clutches of fame, of patriarchy. you’re a doll on display in a white wedding dress. ‘i’m begging for you to take my hand / wreck my plans.’ are you the hunter or the hunted? a witch or the bewitched? ‘wait for the signal and i’ll meet you after dark.’ can you escape your fate, and will he come with you? was it your fate to escape it all in the first place?

#i'm BEGGING.#anywhere else is HOLLOW.#there was one prize i'd cheat to win #every bait and switch was a work of art #you see all the wisest women had to do it this way / cause we were born to be the pawn in every lover's game #i'm the wind in our free-flowing sails / and the liquor in our cocktails #i saw a wide smirk on your face / you knew the entire time / you knew that i'm a mastermind / and now you're mine #that's my man!#...#so basically i'm going to be insane about this for the next 5-7 business days #willow #mastermind #vi is typing...
