get Bones’d, idiot

one of my favorite flint-isms is the way he always pretends that whatever situation he's currently in is the ideal situation for them to be in. he says 'we have nassau. we are strongest now.' and then he loses nassau and he's like 'just because we lost nassau doesn't mean rogers has nassau. he is still trying to get it under control. therefore, he is weakest now, and we are at our strongest.' and then rogers gains control of nassau and flint is like 'now that rogers is in control of nassau, he believes he can take it for granted. so he won't see us coming. therefore, we are strongest right now.' and somehow you find yourself nodding along every time.

silver is so fuckable in s2 bc flint wants to fuck him. he pressed that dude against the wall and put a knife to his throat and found out he was actually being smart and his dick got naturally hard for the first time in 10 years. the only reason he didnt proposition silver is bc he knows silver is a liar and a thief and could 100% blackmail him so instead flint allows there to be this very thick sexual tension in the hopes that Silver will crack and do something about it. alas. silver is insane.

I am so glad that Black Sails was made before everyone forgot how to shoot a night scene

do you think Anne and Charles ever saw the scars on each other’s back. do you think they were ever aware that they shared shackles. do you think they realized their violence was born of the same yoke. do you think they considered the way the other was used for the sake of men who saw them as tools for pleasure and wealth. do you think they they knew that their freedom would always be tainted by the past and that its pursuit stemmed from fear. do you think they recognized the pain in those marks. do you think they ever talked about it. do you think they thought their bodies would never truly be theirs because of it. do you think—

[ID: Two screenshots from Black Sails. The first one shows Anne, her hat pulled down low and shadowing her face, and the second shows Miranda, standing in her library and wearing a green formal dress. Both screenshots are subtitled with the same line said by each character: “Don’t treat me like I’m someone else.” End ID.]
