i’m really surprised that the real historical feasibility of madi and flint’s revolution is a thing that is debated, certainly because by the end i think the show has firmly shifted the discussion from whether the revolution is possible or not, to how much sacrifice will be necessary for this now unstoppable wide-reaching movement, but also because to be like “hm, actually historically…” is not even in the top 100 instincts i have in response to the inspirational portrayal of a wide-reaching social uprising against england itself to dismantle colonial rule and the many faced institutionalized oppression that comes with it led by a gay pirate captain whose life and love was destroyed by homophobia and a black queen whose people’s lives are still being destroyed by slavery, especially when it’s in a show that tells you both of the importance and power of stories and to doubt narratives and history when told by the oppressors in power
