#black sails #billy bones #this is Aidan's fault - his post made my brain go whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr #that and all the Oresteia talk that's been going on #hmmmm i don't have a lot of time for an extensive tag-ramble and i'm also not sure i have much to add? #i'm very happy with this one and i think it speaks for itself #just wanna specify (altho i'd hope it would be obvious) that this post isn't saying that Flint and Billy are 100% The Same #that would be stupid and reductive and no parallel is ever gonna be a one-to-one #it's saying that Billy comes to embody everything he hates about Flint in his crusade against him #which i have a whole nother gifset about in the works that i'm REALLY excited about #but in the meantime - have this!
