black sails is a show meant to be rewatched. it’s incredible the first time around, but once you know the character backstories and how the story progresses, you start to notice all the little details that you missed or ignored the first time around but now that you have that full knowledge of what happens, you realize those moments had immense value… black sails is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
my kingdom, my KINGDOM for a flinthamilton stardust AU in which Thomas is a star who falls to earth — specifically, the deck of the lightning-catching vessel captained by James Flint, the most fearsomely-reputed man sailing.
give me a distrustful battle of wits giving way to well-worn banter and glowing cheeks. give me James not only sacrificing the prize of a lifetime, but also tearing up his carefully-crafted reputation Because Of Love. give me Thomas lighting up the room when they kiss and that love-born light saving the day.
one of my favourite things about Love, Simon was how it managed to capture so many little gay nuances that resontate with every gay person, like how Simon couldn’t manage to say he was gay outloud at the begining, or the unique feeling that comes when youre about to come out to someone and youre trying to force the worlds out and your heart is beating so fast. these little things are easily recognizable to anyone who has been closested but straight people dont give them a second thought or recognize the significance
one of the most realistic parts of simon’s story is how hesitant he is to call himself gay. even when he’s talking to blue, who’s also gay, he struggles to use that word for himself, and it’s such a great depiction bc so many lgbt people struggle to relate to labels due to the stigma, even tho it accurately describes them. there’s just so many subtle ways this movie proves it gets it, and i’m grateful for every single one.
every time I’m minding my own business and I rmr how tight James clutches at Thomas’ back and neck when they’re reunited and how hard he’s crying into his shoulder I go through 16 different emotions instantaneously and all of them make me proud of being gay
