It’s so good!!! There’s like four main queer characters and they all have such great arcs. There’s Max, Eleanor Guthrie, Anne Bonny and James Flint. Ngl Max has a rough time in S1 and her character probably gets treated the worst, (tw for rape) like there are some badly portrayed rape scenes but the first season is the weakest and it’s all uphill for her after that. (the show gets instantly better in s2)

Anne Bonny has her lesbian awakening and her bff Jack Rackham is confused but totally supportive (“I do understand why you wouldn’t want to tell me about this but please know that all I ever wanted was for you to be happy”) And Eleanor is…well she tries and she’s a bisexual mess lmao, but she’s a fantastic character. 

And James Flint oh man, he’s a complete gay disaster and his arc in relation to his sexuality and the homophobia he faces is the most respectful and well done way I’ve ever seen. He’s devoted his entire existence to fucking over England for being homophobic (not an exaggeration). Also UNBURY YOUR GAYS!!! (I won’t go into it bc spoilers but it’s tru) I could go on but the best way to sum up Black Sails is this tweet imo: 

I’m pretty tired of this nihilistic trend in general, meaning anyone who’s not a jaded POS gets automatically killed, but seriously!? The ONLY even sort-of PoC character in your movie!? The more feminine presenting wlw who isn’t running around in high heels, shooting everyone’s faces!? Come on.

i would very much like to put this on a neon sign and wave it around at everyone involved in this decision who thought it was a good idea. 

“Do you like me, or do you respect me?" "I don't know—at least, I cannot tell you.”

WAIT JUST A FUCKING MINUTE ARE YOU TELLING ME THERE’S A CARMILLA SERIES

YES, it is self referential and cheesy and it has some serious issues BUT IT IS GAY AS FUCK.

Have people objected to this directly to HER? Like, sent them e-mails and stuff? If not, lets do it.

and the tumblr exodus shall begin….
