I could write an essay about how it doesn’t make sense to assume flinthamilton would be ideologically misaligned in 1716 but instead I’ll just say this. 1705 Thomas was already a political radical, right. And got so overwhelmed at the romantic gesture of flint kicking his dad out of the house and saying his ideas were good and worth defending. that he got up and kissed him at the dinner table. Ok so after 10 years of being england’s political prisoner and medically tortured/enslaved on a penal colony bc of it. When he learns his lost love has spent the last decade waging one man war on the entire british empire in defense of his ideas and dreams and enacting diabolical grief driven revenge plots over his presumed corpse like some greek mythological romance achilles/patroclus type shit. I’m pretty sure he’d get so horny he’d pass out on the spot and give flint an aneurysm thinking he’s fr dead this time. I’ll just say that

We all laugh about “did you just ask my father to leave his own house” but flint is and always has been the family guard dog he literally doesn’t know how else to be it’s not in his DNA. This is MY family and you’re threatening them gtfo bark bark bark. The fact that he always returns to casa de barlow without fail and she dresses his fight wounds. Miranda giving the kill order for the maria aleyne and charles town and he follows it to the letter. Real canine loyalty type shit. Silver confused flint forgives him after their fight not realizing he’s flint’s guardian now. Silver pulls the gun on him at skeleton island and his face immediately transforms from growling defiance to sad betrayal. You adopted me, how could you do this to me? 🥺 Thomas looks at him in the field like 🤨 but he keeps walking up to him anyway. What else is he supposed to do, NOT run up to the porch of his house?

#love is stored in the forehead kiss#for what would they risk their rascal carcasses but money?#this is not a love story but love is in it#it’s both the beginning and the end of it all

the way flint explains his situation with miranda to billy as "making a home" is so funny as if they currently aren't just barely scraping by together in a haunted house having misery sex with their mutual trauma

[video description: a Black Sails fanvid set to the song "Good Luck, Babe!" by Chappell Roan. it focuses on Max and Eleanor's complicated relationship (especially contrasted against Eleanor's relationships with Vane and Woodes Rogers) and how Eleanor loses all the things she betrayed Max to keep, just as Max had predicted. end vd]
