[witchzard] #BlackSails - Series Finale and I am crying...
The thing is that I can feel, on my every bone, why Flint acts the way he does. All the love has turned to rage, and yes, I know exactly how that feels, how you want to fill that hole with something that means something - or something you think means something.
I feel him! I actually see myself in him, sooo fucking much!
I so wanna... what? Dunno... I feel like there is something missing in my Universe
That was my favorite show in a long time. It's what Game of Thrones should have been. Top notch storytelling. Really sad it's over.
#BlackSails - Chapter XIII - yes, I now know why this series had put such a huge crack in my eggshell 
Idelle: "I'm going to fuck the living shit out of him."
Max: "Mon Dieu, Idelle. If he chooses to join Captain Rackham's crew, that decision must be heartfelt. It cannot be cast into doubt the moment the pleasure fades. And for that, you cannot just fuck him. You must seduce him. Yes, there is a difference. The breath in his ear. The arch in your back when he thinks he is making you finish. The look in your eyes when you finally breathe again that tells him you would do anything he asked in that moment. Anything at all without hesitation. The story you tell him that night about when you were a little girl, about the place you hid from your mother where the world was quiet. A story you've never told another soul. The look of confusion you show him when you wake up the next morning that tells him despite the thousand other men you've awoken beside, that he is unique. That he has seen you vulnerable. And that you cannot live without him."
Idelle: "I completely understand. ... Just so we're clear, I still fuck the shit out of him, yes?"
Max: "Yes."
Pk, I had enough with world news, gonna go back watching #BlackSails
Another reason to listen to victims is that we've learned shit about how the world works that none of you sweet summer children can fathom.
(Reacting to a scene. This show does a great job, especially in the second half, of analyzing themes about power.)
My gender is basically that whole thing Anne Bonny and Jack Rackham have.
Then there's Anne Bonny.
"Oh, you think my last outfit was cool? Well now I'm wearing a tapestry that's also a fucking trench coat, what yah gonna do about it??"
Fuuuuuuckk!! This Main Theme really gets to me
Uff, the Main Theme really hits very deep, somewhere a very sensitive nerve 
#BlackSails
I didn't know how much effect music can have on me - I realize that the Main Theme was a big contributor to egg-cracking 
Rewatching a series I suspect to have put a big crack in my egg back then: Black Sails
Another great thing about Black Sails is that every single featured character is extremely competent. They're all just really freaking good at what they do. So it's not about characters being foiled by their folly. Or bad luck. Or whatever rabbit the writers pull out of a hat. It's because someone else outsmarted them, in spite of their own wit.
The fact that the characters are also believably changing alliances regularly makes for just really great storytelling. You're never sure who will win, and you're rooting for everyone.
I was trying to decide whether this show is hopepunk, but I'd say with this scene, it clearly is.
(I'm a good way into the second to last season.)
Very fitting and inspiring for these here times.
"These men who brought me here today do not fear me. They brought me here today because they fear you. Because they know that my voice, a voice that refuses to be enslaved, once lived in you. And may yet still. They brought me here today to show you death and use it to frighten you into ignoring that voice. But know this. We are many. They are few.
"To fear death is a choice. And they can't hang us all."
— Charles Vane, Black Sails
Anyway, happy boycott day tomorrow!
I was not expecting to love Black Sails this much. As in, I really would rather it not end. Just a nice solid fun adventure series that doesn't come off hokey. Realistic, likable characters, every single one. Grim without being grimdark. Advanced woke without being didactic or peachy. Lofty thematic storytelling while remaining pure fun.
It's like a pulp serial come to life but through or more sophisticated modern lens, quality special effects and believable intrigue lending it credibility.
It's like if Game of Thrones left you feeling like you'd had a bit of fun.
