You know full well that Thomas would take on James’s last name if/when they got married. Not because James wouldn’t take on his or because he feels pressured to do so by James but because he just wants to piss off his father by letting the family name die out.
okay but if you don’t think that modern flint/hamilton would be extremely passionate vocal champions of LGBTQ rights you’re wrong
imagine it
james being loud and proud, piercingly intelligent, organising public demonstrations and marches, outspoken against rampant institutionalised homophobia within the military and politics, so vocal and blunt that some brand him dangerous and a radical
thomas being a painfully well spoken lgbtq rights campaigner, often on the news regarding new legislation and other issues, runs a successful blog promoting lgbtq issues, penning eloquent and persuasive essays and petitions
both embracing and publicly uplifting and supporting each other with love and determination
Me: I’m cry-
Anyone who has spent five seconds around me ever: yes, you’re crying about black sails, we know, you’re crying about black sails so much, it is ruining your life, you’re crying so much, you just can’t stop crying about black sails, we KNOW, you are crying about black sails you are fucking dead because of black sails ok we know, we get it, BLACK SAILS KILLED YOU. WE GET IT.
