frandroid: Pirate ghostship, moored in a lava creek, underground. (ghostship)
So I'm out here making fun of Straight Black Sails but I'm not super picking up stuff when it comes to disability. This Twitter thread here admires the show for Long John Silver's journey:

silver as a disabled man is allowed complexity that is so often denied to disabled folks in media. he is traumatised and insecure. he is wrong in the decisions he makes. he is a fully fleshed out human being whose choices are affected by his trauma but not defined by it.

"Casual HTML automatically formats line breaks and @user mentions"

!!! (I used the raw-code tag to show an un-interpreted @ mention, otherwise it's just showing it as [profile] user, as intended!!)
