Meanings
- slanglifestyleThe ship of characters Edward "Blackbeard" Teach and Stede Bonnet from the television series Our Flag Means Death.
I was already starting to adore “Blackbonnet” because of Stede showing Ed new things or Ed teaching Stede how to be a better pirate, but this was what sealed the deal for me.

From the depth and earnestness of their story — a romance that happens to be queer, rather than a coming-out-focused or tragedy-laden “queer romance” — to excellent performances from Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby, “BlackBonnet” is worth celebrating.
