Who’s Mrs. Barlow? Ah. You’ve heard the stories, haven’t you? She’s a witch who’s pledged my soul to the devil, and anoints me with the blood of infants to keep me safe in battle. Come on, I’m not stupid. No, you’re not. So you can probably guess it isn’t as much fun to tell stories about how your captain makes a home with a nice Puritan woman who shares his love of books. 

#dispatches from the angry gay pirate future#this is fine#LOOK HOW MULTIFACETED THEY ARE#i mean sure some of this is psychopomp Miranda#but still#i love that bit of them just looking at each other on the way to the ship out of london#this stillness and the two of them#they aren’t looking ahead or behind#just at each other#cleaving unto each other in that moment#also the framing in that one of them in charlestown#the missing third#when usually their shots aren’t balanced that way#thomas’ sword and shield#without hands to wield them#and that flat look of flint’s to book end it#that look that says i will send all of us straight to hell before i tell you a goddamn thing about miranda via @sidewaystime
