#bs julius

I spent a year rewatching Black Sails and tracking all the bits of music that repeated at any point during the show, and my findings are reinforcing that Bear McCreary is a genius and this show should have been called 'parallels that will kill you over and over again'* (tag | chronological)

but when he is in fic, i usually see him cast as this stoic, uncompromising guy who the writer seems to respect but doesn’t necessarily like—they just double down on the few things we saw from him in the show rather than considering what he might’ve become if given another season or so to participate in the story and interact with other characters. which is like...not the point of fanfiction at all. when the canon doesn’t give you enough material, extrapolating from it and making up your own characterization is way more rewarding and makes for a better read. 

Julius. A 45 minute sketch 2b mechanical pencil

When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes

This ends when I grant them my forgiveness. Not the other way around. / Flint will stop at nothing till all the West Indies are ablaze.

What happens when our enemy realizes that all it needs to do to defeat us is to take away that common cause? Turn one against the other. And when that happens, as it is all but certain to do... Which of us standing here are likely to be the ones who benefit and which the ones sold back into their chains?

Reprisals of the cruelest kind intended to instill fear, break spirits, reassert control. It did not have the intended effect. They revolted. One of the men there started it. A man named Julius.
