XXX. I’m no one, from nowhere, belonging to nothing. I’m a wretch like you. Yet mountains of gold have changed hands because I chose it. Thousands of men in Nassau are living in fear of my return because I decreed it. Hundreds of dead redcoats in a forest not far from here because I made it so. I am the reason grown men lie awake at night. I’m a new beginning for Nassau.

“other people’s hate destroyed my love” is such a raw line and it came from a plastic flamingo in a lawn gnome retelling of romeo and juliet

Waylaid Interference Black Sails Musical Parallels | XVII. XXXII.
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)

Gnomeo: one of you will betray us tonight.
Featherstone: is it me, Gnomeo?
Gnomeo: no, it’s not you.
Shroom: is it me, Gnomeo?
Gnomeo: no, it’s not you either.
Benny: is it me, Gnomeo?
Gnomeo:
Gnomeo, mockingly: iS iT mE, gNoMEO??

i'm generally not a huge fan of romantic subplots on account of the aroaceness but i'm weirdly charmed by featherstone and idelle's relationship. like max assigns idelle to seduce him into agreeing to partner with jack, but then while everyone else is having these complex interpersonal relationships the two of them just kind of undramatically stick together as a couple through the whole rest of the series, to the point that idelle starts gathering information from max to pass to the featherstone and the other pirates instead of the other way around. good for them honestly

yesss it's art vs artist time again! i always love looking back on the things i've created in the past year, though it's not always easy to pick 8 favourites. Our Flag Means Death has definitely been defining for me in 2022, and it was so great to contribute to the @blacksailszine. i've painted several birds and landscapes that i'm proud of, and gods and vampires will probably continue to be on my mind in 2023

Black Sails Monologuolympics BR1.1: Minor Characters
2/8: Featherstone vs Blackbeard
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Featherstone, to Idelle, 305: “I do solemnly swear. Signed my name, and my account with the law is now square. A few hours ago, any magistrate in the Empire would have hanged me without hesitation. Children would have cheered, women would have taken comfort… one less villain in the world. Men would have looked on in awe, wondering what adventures and mischief they'd missed in their lives that I'd lived in mine. And with the stroke of a pen, it's all gone as if it never existed, rendering me nothing more than a humble tavern bookkeeper. I sincerely hope this doesn't diminish your attraction to me.”
Blackbeard, to Vane, 302: “A man puts a dead thing in the ground, he expects it to stay there. Sometimes it comes back. I harbored such resentment in that moment all those years ago when you turned your back on me... though I sailed countless leagues with you, fought countless battles with you, taught countless lessons to you... and you did it all for a girl. […] For years, I've laid my head down at night, and no matter where I was, there was an odor would arrive at my nose... Brine and hides and pitch and shit. The perfume of this place. Across eight years and as many wives and... so many distractions. Oh, then I meet wife number nine. And to my surprise, I stop thinking about Nassau. The smell goes away. For almost three weeks. And then news comes across my door that there are no more Guthries in Nassau. One dead, the other in chains. It seemed a sign it was time I returned.”

december 10th - Hogsmeade
«Cannocchiale del diciottesimo secolo» il ministeriale legge di nuovo dalla pergamena, per quanto le folte sopracciglia tremolino un po' adocchiando altri partecipanti come Iris ed Elizabeth «Sono tre galeoni, per quello» che, abbassando il volume di mezzo tono, diventano tuttavia «Due se attira altri compratori» il Ministero perdonerà, basterà rivalutare il prezzo d'acquisto della casa. (...) «Non abbiamo» tempo per «un perito, madamigella. Ma posso dirle per certo che questo è lo stemma di famiglia, da appunti personali della defunta» sulla cui dipartita l'uomo non si intromette, non confermano né smentendo eventuali delitti o suicidi. Singolare, considerando come poco prima non si è risparmiato dall'appellare la defunta in modo assai colorito. «Beh beh beh» è tuttavia il duplice richiamo di Elizabeth ed Iris alla famiglia Featherstone a cavare all'uomo qualche parola, infine «Antica abbastanza, purosangue no di certo» e figuriamoci «Una vena di follia ha abbracciato diversi esponenti, da quel che si dic...il tavolo ottagonale? Subito, signore» il dovere chiama, ecco perché ad Iris è permesso di scattare la sua foto così come a Blythe di osservare meglio gli anelli - qualora voglia provarli - e decidere le sorti di quel cannocchiale che ha puntato sin dall'inizio, dopo i recenti appunti ricevuti.
« Prendo uno di questi due, occhio al colore che se non mi sta bene rivoglio i soldi, eee » andrebbe a riprendere il cannocchiale, sempre che sia ancora lì « questo! » mentre apre la borsetta per ficcarci dentro la mano destra in modo da poter scavare per il borsellino pieno. Questa è follia, altro che quella dei Featherstone.
Una lista interminabile lunga centimetri e centimetri di pergamena su cui finirà anche il nome di Blythe, una volta che la quintina avrà scelto tra una lacrima di rubino contornata da piccoli richiami dorati di simboli celtici o un topazio di forma esagonale al cui interno sembrano muoversi piccolissimi granelli di sabbia scura, in contrasto con l'argento dell'anello. Il cannocchiale, del resto, viene segnato controvoglia dal mago, una volta che l'ultimo desiderio di carpirne i segreti sfuma nella decisione di Blythe.
______________________________________________________________ Possiede un cannocchiale del diciottesimo secolo perfettamente funzionante con i numeri del Quadrato della Luna incisi sull'oculare (...) ed un knot ring dorato con un rubino incastonato che, alla luce del sole, risplende più del dovuto.

I am six episodes from the end of Black Sails and because I am absolutely not ready for whatever emotional damage that they are going to deal me but also cannot think of anything else until I finish the show, here are some extremely self-indulgent modern au head-canons that I have:
Starting us off, Flint is a leftist quite literally planning a socialist revolution, obviously. He does lots of direct action and mutual aid and hates people who want the aesthetic of revolution without doing these things. He cares a lot about the queer community and considers anyone outside of mainstream society to be part of this community. He and Thomas and Miranda all live together and are poly and everyone is alive. Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts. They all read lots of leftist literature together and organize together.
Jack and Anne are queerplatonic partners who still do crime together.
Eleanor and Max are your typical upper middle class liberal gay couple. When Eleanore gets involved in organizing with Flint, she and Max break up and Max starts seeing Anne. Idelle is Max’s ever-patient friend who helps her through all of her girl problems. Featherstone is Idelle’s loving if slightly himbo boyfriend.
Charles Vane is Eleanor’s ex-boyfriend who she cannot seem to stop getting back together with. He is the person Flint sees as cosplaying leftism and who he therefore cannot stand.
I’m not sure how Silver fits into all of this but I think he and Madi should get to just be normal people living normal lives. They deserve that. Madi is also an activist, which Silver finds distressing, but he knows she wouldn’t be content if she didn’t feel she was doing something to make the world a better place so he supports her.
Also all of this is still taking place in Nassau because why the fuck not.

And my love is yours

But your love’s not mine

So I’ll go but we know I’ll see you down the line

And we’ll hate what we’ve lost but we’ll love what we find
Tumblr media
And oh I’m feeling fine, we made it to the coastline
