Using unwholesome language to keep your show wholesome
Awwwwwwww
As well as swearing, they also use brand names,
This must be the definition of chaotic good honestly
Honestly it would probably also help me stop crying if there was a lady standing next to me shouting “Nike! Adidas! Tastykake! Gucci! Google! Pringles! Fuck, I’m blanking shit shit shit fuck shit just keep swearing shit shit COMCAST”
me: *crying over croisants* two british ladies: *chanting* CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT
I’d like to point out that Comcast IS a swear word or should be.
As I rewatch Black Sails, it really strikes me how many women are so central to the plots of the series. Without any one of these women at least one – if not more – story arc would completely fall apart.
Special mentions also go to:
Miranda Barlow: There are just some sounds that everyone loves.
Miranda Barlow: Like shoes on gravel.
Thomas Hamilton: The crackling of fire.
James Flint: The snapping of your enemies necks when they think they can disrespect you.
you know, we and the show talk a lot about flint’s gift for making speeches and silver’s way of spinning the truth and even billy’s back for building a legend, but you know who had some genuinely evocative lines?
miranda
