anne bonny black sails tragic character of all time. she loves two people and only them. she is miserable if she is without either one of them. if she has them both she compromises her own happiness. she doesn't know what would make her happy because only the two people she loves do that. she wants to leave the sea but jack can't so she stays. she wants to leave that fucking island but max can't so she stays. loyalty to her lovers over loyalty to what she wants. because she wants them.
Interview with the Vampire 2.06 // Black Sails 4.10
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.

i think it's really disingenuous to judge black sails characters (silver) by their betrayals because this is literally all they do the entire series, betray each other and anticipate betrayals and act accordingly in order to achieve their goals. so the thing that's killing me isn't really a breach of trust that was done by most of them in the end - it's how unbelievably wrong they all are. silver didn't just betray flint and madi, he decided he knew how to make them happy, and he was wrong. max didn't just betray nassau (and im NOT even touching on what she did to anne), she thought she was securing its' future, and she was wrong. eleanor didn't just betray vane or flint or her husband or the pirates. rogers didn't just betray eleanor. they all followed their own fears and delusions into submission, into forcing their loved ones into submission, all for a mirage of safety, and they didn't even end up safe. because you can't stay safe when your life depends on an empire's whim, and you willingly gave up your power to say no.
2026 is the year toby stephens wins an emmy for james flint, i can feel it in my bones
madi :)
there's something really fun about how like. according to all Sources i have found many sailors abandoned the royal navy for piracy because the navy was so hierarchical and the officers were given so much power and piracy was the more egalitarian and democratic option. but flint comes from the navy as someone who managed to work his way up to officer and as someone who seems to prefer to function inside those rigid structures, or at least to be most at home there. so even as he is ostensibly fighting for the greater egalitarianism of the pirate world and of progressive values in general it's just not something that he personally is able to value. he doesn't have a democratic bone in his body. he went to the pirate republic talking about kings and wanting to quite literally run it like the navy and tried to fight for that pirate republic while acting like his word was law and every democratic proceeding was an annoying hinderance to his dictatorial rule. it's so good. i like him
#yessss. i have written a few mini essays about this in the tags of posts but#this is one of my favorite things about flint. and it's so interesting to see toby stephens reference coriolanus#where being a great commander does not make you a great politician. and that is exactly flint's deal#he has that whole speech in s1 about how the crew needs certainty. and with the way he runs his crew he's absolutely right#he is such a brilliant commander and that let him rise thru the ranks despite not being a lord#and now he's stuck in nassau and he's making a lot of calls that are correct but now he needs consensus to do things#and you can see it drive him mad. bc he's really fucking smart. he knows what to do he just needs the crew#to listen to him instead of needing to lead them to the right decision. this is why flint always needs a partner#he needs someone to bridge the gap between him and the crew. to get them to listen to him so he can do his thing#his frustration with everyone being so many steps behind him brings so much friction to s1 and 2 especially. and it slaps

black sails your dash and runs away
eating concrete thinking about flintmadi. it took this woman 24 hours of uninterrupted flint time to realise he was just a man, perpetually caught in grief. john silver couldn't do that shit in 9 months

BLACK SAILS CLIPS MASTERLIST
since i added more s1 clips a while back, i've finally gotten around to redoing the masterlist of all my black sails clips. they're also all linked together for easy scrolling. had to split into multiple reblogs bc it seems tumblr has a limit on how many links you can put in one post π. also i'm putting β next to my favorite clips. to be clear, this is not intended as a replacement for watching the show, or even to fully make sense without the whole show. it's just a place where people (primarily myself lol) can rewatch favorite scenes more easily :)

βThe man who talked me into giving a shit about this crewβ is also so hilarious, girl please get a fucking grip
Flint is the creator of all emotion. You understand
Pick a time Silver said/did something very revealing by accident
"Guilt is natural. It also goes away if you let it."
said he wanted to be free of Flint right after sitting down at his feet
"...other thing hiding in the spaces. The one whose shape you first showed me."
"...the man who talked me into giving a shit about this crew..."
tried to pretend ignorance when asked if he was a 'Walrus man'
"The men need to know they're in good favour with me. They need it."
"You cannot follow a man like that and then pick and choose when you deny him."
checked his pocket for the schedule fully aware of Flint's theatre production
"...never knew my mother."
"...the number of times I have followed you blindly,"
"I'm committed to Flint. I'm committed to Madi."
