Never understood the collective vehement resentment of small talk lol i hate the painful grind of small talk as much as the next person but i think id rather shrivel up and die than be denied nuggets of joy found in standing in an elevator and having a middle aged woman compliment my nails or bonding fleetingly with a cafegoer over the city's temperamental weather it's so integral to nurturing & cultivating the soul i think

#as a server #small talk gets me thru the day sometimes #even if its nothing #even if its just how are you #bc when im not engaging w people at all #i feel like a robot. like inhuman lol #text

the way rogers visualised eleanor after her death will always blow my mind.

she was sat in a corner, obediently, quietly, knitting away.

to our knowledge, as a viewer, eleanor didn't knit. sure, there are lots of moments in black sails that happen off screen and are only referred to later on, but the one time we see eleanor taking up a 'wife-ly' duty is when all the women and children were in the fort and she was trying (and failing) at embroidery.

other than that, she also didn't exactly have time to sit there and knit or do anything else like that.

so it's astounding that is the way rogers remembers her or at least how he thinks of what she would be like if her ghost was there etc.

#i think cuz eleanor embroidering was like #in his mind a sign of her choosing civilization over her 'old habits' #a sign of her loyalty to him thru her conformity to the social order lmao #bc the whole time hes worried shes gonna get drawn back in by nassau & piracy #also the sound of her knitting reminds me of a ticking clock #its giving miranda #someone analyze that not me im sleepy #black sails

flint is a black hole of a man. people are drawn to him and never escape. he shapes the world to his mind, consciously and unconsciously. once he has his hooks in you, you'll never be the same.

john silver didnt even want to be a pirate.

Goddddd 1x07 drives me insane! The Flint/Gates breakup. The Flint/Miranda confrontation!! “They took everything from us, and then they call me a monster”. Flint starts unraveling. I never noticed before, but after Miranda says “what does it matter now”, he mouths it silently to himself in sheer astonishment. He’s seconds away from hyperventilating. How can it not matter now? When it’s the foundation of his being, when it’s how Flint was born? It’s the basis for everything and the few people remaining who he loves are losing their faith in him. But Miranda also knows the people they were died all those years ago and she’s desperately trying to revive them and find a part of that love again.

And of course: “Tell me we’re not crazy, you and I. To put ourselves through all this when the outcome is so uncertain.”
