betweenheroesandvillains:

a number of reasons why you should watch Black Sails

– now is the perfect time to binge-watch seasons 1-3 because 4 (which is the last one) will be out soon

– listen who DOESN’T want to know the backstory of Long John Silver?

– PiRATEs?!?

– lesbians? yes. dead lesbians? nope.

– you REALLY WANT TO KNOW THE SECRET SURROUNDING CAPTAIN FLINT

– AND MIRANDA BARLOW

– BAMF characters. all of them.

– everything serves the plot??? even the sex scenes??? i mean where else would you find that??

– you REALLY want to find out who Thomas Hamilton is. believe me.

– “well, we could make this a straight blood fest” “how about we don’t?” “yeah sure Jim good plan”

– assorted relatable quotes: 1. “that was dark” 2. “There’s no we, we stopped being a thing of any relevance about an hour ago.” 3. “no shit” 4. “fuck”, in all its various forms´

– “My truest love, know no shame” *sobs*

feel free to add

Other important stuff:

– good characters who are too nice for this show and you want to protect them at all costs,

– absolute bastards of characters that you want to protect at all costs,

– that one bastard that you look at for a long while going ‘I don’t care what fandom says, he is an angry, bloodthirsty, lying fuck and i will never like him’ and then somehow he is your ginger baby son and you want to protect him at all costs,

– after this show every time someone will say “let me tell you a story” you will hear it in captain’s flint voice and it will be good,

– it breaks your heart all the time, but it all makes so much sense that you’re both mad and impressed,

– the plot is so fucking tight that every canon change you wanna do in fics automatically changes A LOT and it’s brilliant and a lot of fun,

– other relatable quotes 1. Gulit is natural. It also goes away if you let it. 2. Get on with it, motherfucker. 3. 
Everyone is a monster to someone. Since you are so convinced that I am yours, I will be it.

4. Maybe we will be friends by then? 5. if you’re going to behave like children, then I will be your daddy.

– soundtrack is really cool,

– sea looks nice in every scene, true story. #i watched for the sea

very good additions! please also consider:

– side plots that are so good you forget they are side plots

– Anne Bonny

– multilingual pirates???

– wlw woc in the most powerful positions!!!!!!!!

– you hate certain characters… but also… you love them??? (*coughcough Charles Vane coughcough*)

– SO. MUCH. SCHEMING.THAT. IS. SO. WELL. DELIVERED!!!!!

– hilarious moments: 1. “I believe the word you’re looking for is “fucked”?“ – “Yeah, thank you” 2. “For all you virgins in the room, that’s also known as fucking suicide.” 3. “What the fuck are you doing here?” – “ Came to take your ship. Stayed to get you out of all this. Figured if anyone was going to make a trophy of you, it really ought to be me.” 4. “How the fuck could you have thought that???” 5. “Hang on, you’re serious about taking the ship?!?” – “What the fuck did you think?”
