fuck it flint tuned in freestyle

“Flint: I don’t want to see a single one of our gun ports open. I don’t want to see a single man on deck with a weapon in his hand. This only works if we can make it clear that we have absolutely no intention of shooting at anyone today. Billy: What if they start shooting at us? Flint: Duck.”

literally IMAGINE thinking this show isn’t funny IMAGINE thinking it’s boring couldn’t be me cannot relate were we watchint the same thing this shit is upROARIOUS, flint dry sarcasm delivery king with straight man worried billy opposite, absolute peak fucking comedy as always thank YOU toby and tom

the same man who wrote treasure island also wrote dr jekyll and mr hyde. and i just.

there’s just so much there that’s so interesting to me. if anyone has more coherent thoughts on this or if anyone else has written about this already pls share 🙏🏻

things i am normal about:

ID (copied from alt): The first image is a drawing of Thomas Hamilton, James McGraw, and Miranda Hamilton in which Thomas (left) kisses James (middle) while Miranda rests her face on James' shoulder as she is stabbed by a silver sword. Miranda grips the sword where it enters her chest while James holds it by the base of the blade, both of their hands bleeding. Miranda's other hand, which has her wedding ring, reaches for Thomas' hand, which rests on James' chest and has a signet ring on his pinky. Thomas' other hand cups James' face. James is the only one with his eyes open, looking conflicted. He is wearing a blue naval uniform and is clean-shaven with a long ponytail. Thomas is clean shaven and wearing a fine green coat. Miranda's hair is in voluminous ringlets and she is wearing a yellow gossamer dress. She is wearing simple makeup and fine earrings and matching necklace. The background is light grey.

The second image is a matching drawing of the same trio ten years later; Thomas Hamilton, James Flint, and Miranda Barlow. In addition to the blood from the sword wounds, Miranda has entry and exit wounds on her head, making blood run down and cover the right side of her neck and shoulder. Flint has a similar looking wound on his head that makes blood run down past his ear into his collar, and a bloody nose. Flint has a shaved head and a goatee beard, and has a gold stud earring. He is wearing a black leather coat and dark shirt, and two silver rings on his ring and pinkie fingers. Miranda is wearing a subtly floral patterned grey dress, and her grey-streaked hair is straight and tied in a bun except for two curls at her cheekbones. She has no makeup on and wears simple earrings. Thomas has greying hair and a scruffy full beard. His cheekbones are further sunken and he has some sunburn on his face and the back of his neck. He is wearing a loose, dirty grey shirt and no rings. The sword is gold. The background is dark grey, and more of the trio is in shadow.

the image it's based on under the cut for anyone unfamiliar

One man's "you are asking for too much" is another man's "is that all?".

anyways controversial onion here but no sorry i dont give a shit if i see homeless people using drugs right infront of me as i walk down the street, if you want to complain about it you can go sit in your house and be grateful that you have one to feel better

Yeah, I’ve seen it.

I'm not judging her involvement in the crime based on this, but I do have to say that Arabella is exactly the kind of girl who has always made me most uncomfortable. so I can certainly relate with Eliza in that. :')

"there is no escaping that you are a woman!! just as there is no escaping that I am a man!! use what you have to your advantage!!!! just as anyone else does, man or woman!!! it is no more complex than that--so do not make it so!!!"

why does William continue insisting that Eliza should just settle down and forget the detective business and STOP undermining him and going against his order and DEFINITELY STOP jumping in the middle of his cases (particularly ones where she's used some unscrupulous means to get in the middle of them), when almost every time she does something incredibly cool (sometimes actually saving his life at the same time), and the camera immediately flashes to his face wherein can be seen a mixture of general annoyance + a very distinct oh snap that's really hot

i’m sorry a well dressed, thick built, scottish victorian man with. a. beard. keeps saying eliza in a deep timbre with an authoritative tone, am i not supposed to find that wildly attractive
