You want to trade it? You want to trade the cache, my cache?

XXXIV.

(AKA the day Jack learned that working with Flint just means that he will make unilateral decisions about your future that you Will Not Like and there is nothing you can do about it.)

#black sails #jack rackham #this part really got me bc it's like. Yeah i guess Jack hadn't personally experienced this before but Flint has always been Like That #when he was like 'And who decided this? You?' i swear i was fucking howling #like GIVE IT TO HIM LMAOOOOOOO #the cache trade situation is such a clusterfuck #like. i don't disagree with Madi that (considering what information they had at the time) it seemed like the best option #HOWEVER - Flint's track record of unilateral decisions that fuck everyone over means that by going through with the deal #he was banking on a level of trust he hadn't earned #it's nothing to do with the decision itself being right or wrong - it's all to do with the circumstances #and Flint's going through with it over Silver's protests was a Huge Mistake #so (although I love Flint - of course) i couldn't help but be tickled by Jack's incredulity about the whole mess #oh and also it bears mentioning: DON'T FUCK WITH THE SACRIFICE BOX!!!!!!!! #(besides Eleanor who wanted it to pay off a specific debt) i honestly doubt that anyone would have ever spent it on anything #because it carries so much Meaning that it's Too Important to waste on just any expense #so can't you just see it sitting around collecting dust earmarked for a future use that never comes to pass? i can #but okay now i'm thinking about Treasure Island and getting upset so we're putting the breaks on this one #hoo boy i am NOT looking forward to the last four eps #Wherever The Treasure Is Buried Is A Grave Because The Chest Is A Coffin #you know how it is
