boy do I hate being right all the time

characters can have a tragic backstory so long it requires days of scrolling on their wiki to read and they still won't come close to long john silver's single line, "you know of me all i can bear to be known."

god i'm so glad louis killing bruce was as fucked up and empty and hollow as it was. i've been thinking about this moment for years now and like you can't bring her back. you can't go back in time and choose her over lestat and you wouldn't anyway because she was right and it's always been about him. you can't be there for her when it counted. lestat can't be there for her when it counted even though he understood her pain in the most direct sense. no matter how much bruce deserved to die killing him does absolutely nothing for claudia now and was never really going to be anything more than a consolatory gesture for the benefit of the people who weren't there for her when it counted. she was right. it's never been about her.

it's so important to post about black sails every single day because what if people forget

If it keeps you from killing yourself it's not stupid. This applies to anything btw.
