Black Sails Anniversary Week

Day 2: Favourite Dynamic - Jack Rackham vs Woodes Rogers

"If no Anne, if no rescue, if this is defeat for me, know this - You and I were neck and neck in this race until the very end, but Jesus, did I make up a lot of ground to catch you."

#black sails #jack rackham #woodes rogers #blacksailsedit #bsanniversary #my stuff #another thing i really love is character conflict #and theirs is excellent #their conflict sort of encapsulates one of the narratives of the show too #where jack is this outcast from society and woodes is representative of that society #but they're both still more complex than that #i am living in this kinda thing

My father was a tailor in Leeds, as was his father and his father’s father. Time was if a man on the Avondale Road asked where he might find the finest clothes in northern England, he was pointed toward the shop of a man named Rackham. Then the men who sell wool decide they’d prefer not to compete with the men who imported fine cotton, and as the men who sell wool have the ears of the men who make laws, an embargo is enacted to increase profits and calico disappears. And my father’s business that he inherited from his father and his father’s father begins to wither and die. And my father suffers the compound shame of financial ruin seen through the eyes of his son and descended into drink. I’d sit beside him as a boy at the Sunday service as he shouted at the pastor, at the altar - at anyone who’d listen, really - at the injustice of it all. And I’d put my arm over his shoulder as the insults began, help carry him out of the church. God the insults. At his funeral, our neighbors were kind enough to whisper them rather than call them out loud. So, I set out to work, determined to rebuild what had been taken away. I was thirteen years old, but I was determined… Until a man arrived at my door claiming to hold debts belonging to my father, debts accumulated as my father drank, debts he claimed that now belonged to me, debts I could not possibly have hoped to repay, debts over which this man would have seen me imprisoned - imprisoned in a place where the debts would have been discharged only through hard labor, hard labor with no wages, working at - wait for it - the production of textiles. “You people, incapable of accepting the world as it is” says the man to whom the world handed everything. If no Anne, if no rescue, if this is defeat for me, then know this: you and I were neck and neck in this race right till the end, but, Jesus, did I make up a lot of ground to catch you.

[kvetchinglyneurotic]

there are many parts of black sails that rewire my brain (like. most of it, honestly) but the part that always takes me out is the scene in 2x05 where jack is negotiating the articles for his and featherstone's crew and has the choice to either keep max's share or anne's, and he chooses max. because the thing is, it is the logical decision: they really do need max's leads, and their venture probably wouldn't succeed if the crew thought their captain's loyalty was to anne instead of to them, given that he'd just helped her kill a bunch of their old crew. but at the same time it's such a devastating betrayal, and it's made so much worse by how completely anne trusts that he'll take her side when she doesn't really trust anyone else at all, and how much she relies on jack always taking her side because at that point of the story she is, in a lot of ways, an extension of him: jack probably loves anne more than anyone else in the world, but he can detach himself from her and operate as his own independent entity if he needs to, and she can't. there is no anne bonny separate from jack rackham.

#black sails #anne bonny #jack rackham #black sails spoilers #anne bonny makes me feel shrimp emotions #i know it's necessary for her character development in the long-run but in the moment it's such a terrible thing to do to her #kvetch oc

Why can’t Anne Bonny be Jack Rackham’s wife, though? What does she even mean by that?

#at one point i will write about all the stuff i am unhappy with in the series #but for that i will probably have to read up more on the actual story of anne bonny #and many other pirates #anne bonny and jack rackham were married in real life is what i have heard #or at least viewed each other that way #black sails #anne bonny #(should i make separate tags for the real person and the black sails character?) #captain rackham #black sails season 2 episode 10

Watching back sails anytime Vane and Jack/ Silver and Flint appear on screen: Do you think they explored each other's bodies?

#especially in recent seasons #i mean here is no straight character until proven otherwise #black sails #captain flint #john silver #charles vane #jack rackham

[thesundanceghost]

man saves girl from something awful, takes her under his wing while simultaneously leading them both down a dark and dangerous road until she’s turned into the perfect cold blooded murderer, eventually realizing that she’s stuck in a life she didn’t choose for herself but can’t bring herself to fully abandon because she does actually love the man and they have a complicated platonic soulmate/eternal sibling bond going on where they would do anything to protect the other.

#this is nothing but also it is everything #i have a longer post to make later but that ones more complicated #we all know silver is the vampire coded character but uhhh something about this dynamic #even though louis isnt claudia's maker he is in intent #anne bonny #claudia #black sails #iwtv #louis de pointe du lac #jack rackham #rackhanne

And then what does it matter if it was true when it was born?

The temptation to send this to my friends who live in Boston Philly and also (on January 19 2024) Boston & New York as they get clobbered by a snowstorm is very high.

#Also I should have male characters talk about their balls more. #black sails s4 #jack rackham #storkmuffin liveblog

[noknowshame]

big fan of the fact that Wikipedia not only recognizes the occupation of Nassau as a civil war against Great Britain, but lists Jack Rackham’s death as a key component of its outcome as if it he went to battle with England personally

#they even use his version of the flag #lost the battle won the legacy. so who’s the real winner here #v funny how Jack Rackham the fictional character is more similar to the legacy of Calico Jack than the real Calico Jack #pirate history

every day I wake up and have to reconcile in my head that these are the same person

[ID: The first photo is of Calico Jack from Our Flag Means Death, who looks disheveled and rugged and beaten down. The second is of Jack Rackham, also known as Calico Jack, from Black Sails, who looks put together and groomed, artfully disheveled /End ID].

#black sails #ofmd #our flag means death #calico jack #jack rackham #listen I know they’re two separate shows with separate plots and focuses #but every time I see ofmd calico Jack I’m just like how are you also rackham #both shows have gay pirates tho that’s a plus #i have so many thought and feelings about black sails okay #gay pirates doesn’t even begin to cover it #it’s a phenomenal story with a devastating portrayal #it’s told so well #i love it so much #anyway still can’t believe these are the same character

[ourflagmeansgayrights]

for the record. i know i’ve made that post about “ed is so horny for jack which is embarrassing bc jack is mediocre at best” and also the “calico jack makes me think of smegma" post but the thing is like. i’d still fuck him probably. he’s gross but i’d be down.

#ofmd #our flag means death #calico jack #ofmd calico jack #calico jack rackham #mine #j #txt #og #to be fair the number of ofmd characters i wouldn’t fuck is pretty low tbh
