100 days of favorite characters ★ day 40 - james flint (black sails)
they took everything from us, and then they called me a monster. the moment i sign that pardon, the moment i ask for one, i proclaim to the world that they were right. this ends when i grant them my forgiveness, not the other way around.
I actually thought that my previous text post would be the last one but I found these in the depths of my gallery so. Enjoy your meal *throws them like chicken feed*
On this Pride Month I would just like to say that Black Sails really made all of its four seasons and 38 episodes into an expression of gay rage against homophobic brutality and the unbearable loss of love, especially in that tragic context, and that’s still one of the most breathtaking things that any TV show has done, ever.
watching black sails for the first time: genuinely distraught every time flint does something catastrophically cruel or stupid, he’s my babygirl and i want him to succeed but not like this
watching black sails every subsequent time: yes king be wildly unreasonable at every juncture <3
[re flint talking to the maroon queen in 3.5] ok it fucking sucks, but this is how solidarity works a lot of the time. white man proposes widespread slave revolts for his own tactical reasons, and then afterward grows to give a care while working toward his own ends. it doesn't make the caring not genuine, but wow that is clearly the trajectory.
