vice_versa

imagine being the tattoo artist on nassau. perfect job. you get to hang out with all the hot people without having to join a pirate crew or work at the brothel. you get bonny and vane breathing down your neck while you put a kind of fuckass dog on rackham's ribs. you give flint a little moon and he doesn't say a single word the whole time. you think he's secretly gay and you're right

John Silver actually thought for mutiple real minutes they were going to run away to St. Augustine together. Why did he think that was logical given Flint's everything

[video description: Black Sails fanvid set to the Slur Song. The song has a fast electronic beat playing behind a voice that robotically lists homophobic slurs and slang that shouldn't be said in the workplace. The main cast of Black Sails are all paired with a variety of slurs in the song. End ID]

Black sails is such a beautiful show if you like seeing astonishingly hot gay people make the worst possible most terrible decisions over and over again rather than confess to a single coherent thought or emotion regarding gender or sexuality, often quite literally on pain of death

silver is so fuckable in s2 bc flint wants to fuck him. he pressed that dude against the wall and put a knife to his throat and found out he was actually being smart and his dick got naturally hard for the first time in 10 years. the only reason he didnt proposition silver is bc he knows silver is a liar and a thief and could 100% blackmail him so instead flint allows there to be this very thick sexual tension in the hopes that Silver will crack and do something about it. alas. silver is insane.

Luke arnold does a really good job honestly of playing Silver not as charming but feigning charm all the time, like he rarely ever genuinely looks happy enough to be charming (I think). It’s funny because it’s such a thin line to walk like he’s either gotta be the perfect level of not that great an actor and hit that shit naturally all the time or be quite excellent such that he can play the gap between “Well he looks happy go lucky” and “Hm he’s got dead eyes.” Of course then Flint asks for his opinion one time and Silver can’t keep himself from skipping down the road like lalala heheheee 🥰 Anyway. Freak. I love him bad

hey guys. hear me out: flintvanemiranda

"Odysseus, on his journey home to Ithaca, was visited by a ghost. The ghost tells him that once he reaches his home, once he slays all his enemies and sets his house in order, he must do one last thing before he can rest. The ghost tells him to pick up an oar and walk inland. And keep walking until somebody mistakes that oar for a hockey stick."
