#this is the meme version of that intro to The Philoctetes #when Philoctetes is like ‘are you asking me to go to Troy for my benefit or for the benefit of the Atreidae?’ #and it’s like ‘neither king 😔 it’s for the benefit of The Narrative’ #the idea that characters must concede their very humanity to The Narrative is so brutal and horrifying and i’m in love with it #and OBVIOUSLY it can also be applied to Black Sails #Silver going through the whole story resisting The Narrative every step of the way but ultimately getting sucked into it entirely and #fully taking its side in the end #and being the one to enforce what the audience knows was inevitable from the start… #(Silver has some Aeneas energy going on but we don’t have time to unpack all of that rn) #but ANYWAY!!!!!! #yeah. i am Upset. #very much considered making the last box say ‘lol no’ but I ultimately decided against it 😂😂 #hopefully the Energy still shines through
