[image description: fanart of James Flint from Black Sails, on a black background. He is holding a flagpole, on which is raised a rainbow pride flag with the crossed sabers and skull of a “jolly roger” pirate flag. He has season 2 style short hair and beard. His shirt is black with the sleeves rolled up to mid-forearm. His belt is black with a blue cloth underneath, and his trousers are also black.

"As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our day."
