Opposing Sides Black Sails Musical Parallels | XV. XXXI. XXXV.
music variation note: the first part of the parallel in XV matches XXXV, while the second part matches XXXI; XV in a minor key and XXXI in a major key.
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)

The way that XII subtly parallels Flint's memories of trying to talk Thomas out of his plans to save Nassau, with Flint asking Silver to tell him why people oppose his plan to remove Vane from the fort. The way you can see in Flint's expression, he got this from Thomas. He knows the value in asking someone to explain exactly why they could be in the wrong, before you become fully certain you're in the right. The way he's still hung up on this dichotomy of being the hero or the villain, even though he's now trying to be the hero to the people of Nassau, while England is his own personal villain, his own monster. All the while not knowing he's about to discover the daughter of the friend who secretly betrayed him, and lead to this entire ordeal, the entire creation of Flint. A series of events which will inevitably lead him to entirely surrender James Mcgraw, and become entirely the monster. Become entirely James Flint.

Miranda on The Walrus
now i want fic of miranda meeting the crew and shamelessly flirting with all of them. she and james will sit down and compare their relative hotness over a drink. also billy at some point approaches her and they share a bottle of rum between them one evening and have a good laugh about all the shitty rumours surrounding her and invent new ones. she's very good at taking the piss.
she will also take verbal potshots at james and his leadership and how he never fucking explains himself and his plans to anyone and they all roll their eyes in unison
she had a good time on that ship is what i'm saying and you can pry that from my cold dead hands
one night mr de groot teaches her a dance to a tune someone plays. it's pretty fast and she's out of breath. they also teach abigail.
this is becoming very titanic
but fuck it
SHE HAD A GOOD TIME
when she compares notes with james she is very filthy about what kind of thing she would do with them individually. james blushes a lot but is also turned on. it makes her giggle so hard. she's very very detailed
idk it just occurred to me that she reasonably actually meets these people and that she is allowing herself to have some fun with all these men and that she would absolutely tease the shit out of james because he spends so much time with them and never introduced her. and she likes them a lot and actually just being let into his pirate life. he's been keeping it from her for so long and she loves the company and like just going places, i guess? and teasing him. she loves teasing him and he loves being teased and they both missed it and yeah
when they teach abigail the dance, she dances with billy. they both die inwardly of the embarrassment. it's very cute and everyone on board ships them
she does meet silver even tho he tries to avoid her. she sees him (she so would) and he doesn't quite know what to do with himself. but he's the one who relentlessly flirts back at her after a while. i think silver introduces her to weed. (i just realised charles is the only smoker in the show??!!) we need to change that. silver has a small stash of weed he shares with her and they both worry about flint and how he has no sense of self-preservation.
randall tries to make her tea the way she likes.
she likes hanging with him in the galleys and watches him cook for the crew. he loves the attention
She gets james to explain the ship to abigail because she likes to show him off and he's awkward at first but gets into it when she's enthusiastic. Her interest feels genuine. He somehow has a powerpoint ready for the occasion. Abigail doesn't ask how he ended up in this life she senses that's a difficult topic. But she is very impressed at how much work goes into getting this thing to go anywhere. She wanders over a lot to watch billy work cough
Abigail will ask billy if she climb into the rigging and he will say no deffo not with a dress and then they organise some vaguely clean pants and she climbs up and feels the wind her hair and he's super close by and maybe they kiss

ABIGAIL ASHE & MIRANDA HAMILTON   Black Sails - XVI
Look at her. When I first learned she was on the island, I saw in my mind a five-year-old child hiding behind her mother's dress. Then I saw her. I realized she's a woman. It's like she's some sort of clock that's finally struck its chime and woken me from this dream we've been living, reminded me how many years separate me from a world I still think of as home. How unrecognizable the woman I am now would be to the woman I was then.

XVI. It’s like she’s some sort of clock that’s finally struck its chime and woken me from this dream we’ve been living, reminded me how many years separate me from a world I still think of as home, how unrecognizable the woman I am now would be to the woman I was then.

Miranda has this unerring sense of what it means when people are looking at each other. The funniest thing about this is that she takes it as completely a given that Abigail would be looking at Billy. What's meaningful to her is that Billy is looking back at Abigail!

this is what you do at parties (right?)
The person moves forward to collect the glasses. She gestures at Abigail’s almost empty one. “Can I take that one?” she asks. She shifts and the light catches on the pin in her shirt; Idelle, it reads.
Abigail finishes the drink in one big gulp and hands it to her, trying not to choke under the weight of Idelle’s eyes on her. “I’m Abigail,” she feels compelled to say once she’s worked through the drink, handing the glass back.
Idelle laughs. “Nice to meet you, Abigail."
Or: Abigail is new in town, and Idelle is too pretty.

Anticipation Black Sails Musical Parallels | IX. XX. XXXI.
music variation note: the scenes in IX and XXXI are identical in instrumentation and melody, while the deep swoop found in all three scenes is repeated over a faster beat in XX.
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)
