Thomas Hamilton potentially spent YEARS of his life in THE Bedlam, the original cartoonishly evil mental hospital. He had to endure years of, what we millennials would call torture. From cold baths, purging (forced vomiting), flogging (serious whipping), blood letting and TOTAL isolation. He was probably (definitely) chained and shackled, starved and humiliated. He lived through that. HE SURVIVED THAT.

#thanks for killing me with your tags guys#listen#Thomas Hamilton is an amazing human#he grew up with Alfred as a father#(probably without a mother)#look at how Alfred treated Thomas (and Miranda) during the dinner scene#and tell me that he didn’t do the same to him as a child#it would be so easy to just avoid the asshole and live a life in peace#and yet#Thomas is FIGHTING against him to protect strangers#James even adviced him to not suggest the pardons because Alfred is a dangerous enemy#everyone talks about Alfred as dangerous#but do you think Thomas cared?#NO#anything that has ever been worth doing has been worth doing in the face of a little danger#Thomas Hamilton didn’t wield a sword but he fought the world just as much as James did#if you think it’s boring because it doesn’t have explosions#well… shame on you#thomas hamilton#black sails via @hamiltonthomas
