i'm sorry i didn't respond to your DM for 23 days. the number on the notification icon got really big and i began having irrational anxious thoughts such as "what if people are in there trying to contact me"

underrated bit in black sails is when silver undermines the entire concept of torture and hes like oh noo it wouldnt work. no not because im tough. i would say literally anything at all to get you to stop.

im so sick of unnecessary dinner scenes in movies 😡 every fucking movie they just want to titillate you with some food because they think you’re a dumb animal who just wants to see mashed potatoes bouncing. if its an IMPORTANT dinner scene where they explain lore then whatever i understand. but they shove useless meals into every movie these days and its disgusting

this post posits a utopian world where either of these parties would support feeding schoolchildren, making it a masterclass in "hopepunk"

can't stop thinking about how "dark and gritty treasure island prequel" sounds like the premise to the worst show ever aired but it's literally good. goes to show that nothing is for certain in this life

i cant believe that JOHN SILVER of all people began to care for his crew

i do really like flint's ending (silver's version) bc silver is like i have conspired against you and betrayed you by granting you the dearest wish of your heart. i've completely and utterly destroyed and #owned and unmade you by making you happy again. and you can't resist it or resent me for it because this is what you always wanted. the perfect crime. and like. he's right

there’s not words for what the black sails finale does to you . ive been through some Shows, some Final Episodes that have shaken me to the core, that have stayed with me. but oh my god the journey of black sails concludes in this all-consuming, all-encompassing, eternal spectre that tears your soul asunder. its so visceral. and its not even unexpected. it’s an expected narrative it’s an unexpected narrative it’s pulling apart the atomic threads of what a “narrative” is. and you are NEVER the same again. its not even possible to articulate the experience of watching it because theres no WAY to EXPLAIN. FUCK

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.

By this point Loch Ness is probably the inland body of water we can be most sure doesn't have a monster in it.

usamerican chauvinism in any form no matter how cutesy or "wholesome" should make you sick to your stomach when you consider what it represents and what violence, displacement, and extraction it excuses and justifies

So I wonder if directors specifically asked toby stephens to act like he is seconds away from devouring silver whole while playing flint or was that just his own choice
