the way gay people in media are always asked to keep quiet and pretend to be happy in the face of their own oppression but black sails really sad here’s this traumatised gay man who is ANGRY about what was taken from him and he wants REVENGE and he’s RIGHT
he is ALLOWED to be angry he is ALLOWED to be flawed he is ALLOWED to grow and change he is ALLOWED to be human and fallible and horrible and he is also fucking GAY i can’t. i can’t deal with this i can’t
he was in LOVE but the people he trusted most called his love LOATHSOME and PROFANE and it made him angry and he was right. by god he was right.
everyone talks about how powerful the forest speech is but the fact that it is delivered by a CANONICALLY GAY CHARACTER makes it one of THE most heartstopping pieces of television i have ever seen in my life
glad everyone agrees how he’s the only character ever
nice
this thread is for some reason still getting traffic so: i wrote a black sails time travel au fanfic with @astoryisqueer and we commissioned art for every chapter in it. it’s very good and you should read it here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30040902/chapters/73973904">https://archiveofourown.org/works/300...
