a pirate's life for me

"I think what a lot of people in this fandom need to realize that it's totally fine to speculate and guess things, even if they may not be true. It's fine to speculate Max being Mary Read! It's fine to speculate the past of Vane and Eleanor! Speculation is what makes fandom so fun, and we should all just learn to appreciate and respect that."

"I don't like Vane, but I totally want a piece of Zach McGowan's fine ass. ;P"

"I can't stand the amount of hate Charles Vane gets. Obviously he steals and everything but he's a pirate! In my eyes, Flint has done worse things than Vane: he killed Billy and Gates for gods sake!"

"The way I feel about Captain Flint reminds me very strongly of how I felt about Walter White for the majority of Breaking Bad, except Flint is surrounded by other morally dubious people. Vane, for example, is clearly a bit of a monster, but at least he's transparent about it. I don't think even Flint knows whether or not to believe in himself."

"I ship Silverbones and I’m still in denial about Billy’s death."

"I can't decide if I would want Flint, Vane or Billy if I had the chance to choose. Seriously, I can't decide for sure."

"I need Billy to walk out of the ocean in season 2 and be all 'What's up bitches'"

"Is it wrong that I have a scared crush on Ned Lowe and find his scarred/blind eye to be a major turn on? If Eleanor wants to up the bad boy game from Vane, she need look no further."

"Season 2 episode 1 had me going from Team Vane to Team Flint. I mean Flint led a badass takeover of a warship all while injured and ousted from being captain while Vane did nothing but fuck whores and drink instead of protecting his recently won interests."

"I am a great Rackhanne shipper but I thought the first kiss of Maxanne was super hot!"

"I am so sick of how everyone treats Max like this innocent person who's done no and can do no wrong. Oh, she can and she has. But all I ever say is people whining on how they hate Eleanor or Anne for how they've treated her. I'm not saying max is at fault for her rape. She isn't. But she's done things to others, too. "

"I am insanely attracted to Ned Low."

"I absolutely love Black Sails but I do wish it would dive into the more fantastical ideas associated with piracy. The Kraken , Mermaids and Voodoo: all the classics yet still with the gritty maturity of Black Sails kept in tact."

"I am still in awe at all of Eleanor's pretty hairstyles!"

"I can't see how some fans fail to notice that a fair share of the actors appear to have been chosen for their roles purely for their looks, not their ability to give a convincing performance. If it weren't for the directing, Flint and the gorgeous ships, I don't think I'd watch it."
