El beibi de la Rosamari

trying to describe black sails to people is my personal sisyphean task. “it’s a pirate show” bad. “it’s functionally a prequel to treasure island but also it’s not at all” bad again, and also confusing. “it’s about pirates trying to destroy western civilization” mostly only true of the second half of the show and also doesn’t fully capture what i love about it. “it’s a pirate show about the power of stories, how civilization uses shame to keep people in line and turns them into monsters, and the power of queer rage. it’s got some of the best acting, writing, everything of any show i’ve ever seen.” the most accurate, but way too long and makes me sound pretentious and insane. send help i just want to talk about my favorite show.

Ya know? I actually love the ending of neverafter being mundane and hopeful and cheesy and answering none of the bigger questions. Because that’s the point. The characters no longer have to struggle and scramble for answers to survive. They get to pick what they do now. And all of them want to live lives that are calmer and more mundane than the ones they had to live in the times of shadow.

Omfg Scheherazade just gave them the signoff they’ve been trying to find all season: “See you in the stories”

on this day of the neverafter finale, i just wanted to say this was the first intrepid heroes season i watched live, and it’s been one of the most welcoming, fun, and overwhelmingly positive fandom experiences i’ve ever had. can’t wait to do it all again.
