Season 1 is actually so good? Flint’s character development in it is stellar? The first few episodes are a bit cryptic, they show us the vibes, the major players, the environment, the setting, they set the plot into motion and establish the first main goal, the Urca de Lima, as a step stone to the larger end goal of a safe and stable Nassau independent from England, but Episode 7 is when we really get going. Some extremely fundamental things happen for Flint which set him on a path to so many of his later decisions and to the central and extremely important Flint-Silver relationship.

There are three essential and amazing scenes happening in rapid succession: 1. Hal confronting Flint about Billy and the letter. 2. Flint confronting Miranda about the letter. 3. Eleanor finding Flint drinking in the tavern.

All these three scenes are in some way about Flint’s desperation throughout his entire journey to find someone who loves him not despite what he believes, not despite his ambitions to change the world by sheer willpower, but for them. Who shares them, who shares his obsession. To feel the rush of what he had with Thomas again. Because that was when he learned to love and be loved like that and that love is what has kept him alive so far and while he likes to pretend (probably also to himself) that his ambitions are just for the better of everyone, deep down he is also just scrambling to keep Thomas’ memory alive.

Now Hal breaks their partnership off by expressing disbelief that Flint is actually interested in the common good of the pirates. He twists his finger into the wound that Thomas’ plan and by extension Flint’s ideals never considered: Should they even be the arbiter of others’ fates, are the people he wishes to govern over so unable to choose their own path in a constructive way? Do they really know better? Hal realizes Flint has never truly seen him or the pirates of Nassau in general as his equals and the rush of being caught up in the captain’s grandeur (and I mean… attractiveness all around) just doesn’t outweigh the energy it takes to uphold the cognitive dissonance anymore.

“Is that what you are to us now. A sovereign. Levying a tax.”

Next is Miranda. She comes right for the underlying drive of grief, revenge and the desperate attempt to keep a memory alive by building a “safe, righteous, self-determined home” for the now fractured and incomplete Hamilton-McGraw triad, wrapped in it Flint’s identity as a queer man. At this point Flint assumes that she is the one to understand this, to truly grasp what this means to Flint and share this (given the Maria Aleyne history it’s understandable that he has held onto this assumption). But she denies sharing the vision, expresses her frustration and loneliness and goes for the final punch by sharing how she remembers and interprets Thomas’ perspective on the situation.

“This path you’re on. It doesn’t lead to what you think it does. If he were here, he’d agree with me!”

At this point Flint, for the first time in the show, is shown actually doubting himself. The two people he has been closest to and trusted the most in his time in Nassau so far have drawn back their support, have attacked two core tenets of his ambition. The scene with Eleanor merely puts a band-aid on the situation. Her blessing, her understanding of his drive is important structurally, because she is a vital political partner, but I do not believe it means as much to him. There is a really interesting moment full of actual (sexual? romantic?) tension or rather potential there, but it ends with a forehead kiss. Flint appreciates the partnership and deeply respects her, but probably more from a parental perspective, she isn’t truly an equal, based on life experience and age alone. But things are already in motion, the show must go on, the band-aid will have to suffice.

“Perhaps a little doubt in me is called for.” “What happened out there?” “Tell me, we’re not crazy you and I?” “Crazy?” “To put ourselves through all of this when the outcome is so uncertain?” “The outcome is only uncertain for those who disbelieve.”

The hole ripped in Episode 7 is essential for all further developments, it opens space for Silver to become an important person in his life, it opens space for him to reconsider trying a path involving pardons, as in season 2. It also foreshadows or mirrors or just resonates with how all these relationships around Flint ultimately end: Eleanor scraps her ambitions for love, Silver scraps Flint’s and Madi’s ambitions for love, even if he is reunited with Thomas in the end he is never truly reunited with the feeling he chased the entire time: Being loved for his ambition, by somebody who shares it, facing the world and shaking his fist at it, believing change is possible and yet not having to be alone.

What a lonely place to be in.

ok I'm sorry but I can't keep not saying this bc I keep pretending it isn't a problem and hoping it'll go away but it won't and I'm sick of it

I have a really unhealthy relationship with food and my body and it needs to be addressed and I have no idea what to do

#Legit just cried because I looked at myself in the mirror #I hate my body so much #I feel guilty everytime I put something in my mouth #And yet I have no control when it comes to food #I ate cookies and ice cream today and pasta too and spring is coming and it's getting hot outside #So I can't keep wearing my dad's enormous clothes #And I hate showing any skin that isn't my face #But im going to need to very soon #And I'm lost and I hate it #Arghhhhhhhh
