I understand it. I understand the allure of ensuring that no one will ever think you the villain you fear you are.
#silverflint#black sails#WHY’D U MAKE ME THINK ABOUT THIS AGAIN#this is the worst post on this damn site#and u know whats even worse than this#the fact that silver now has ALL the information about flint’s past. the full picture#i mean he already knew to an extent that this life was eating flint from the inside out. flint cared. felt guilt.#shouldered every sin. every murder he committed. every fucked up decision he had to make#silver didnt understand before. didnt rly care. but now after all the shit he’d been through and felt on his own skin..#he’s beginning to see it from a new perspective. it’s not an objective pov anymore. he knows guilt. he knows pain and he knows affection#to know now the main motive behind all of it.. the primary emotion that fueled every flint’s action had /always/ been love#this man has been waging a war against the world for 10 fucking years over a man he loved and lost.#LOVE!!!#silver may not understand it fully since he hasn’t experienced it.. but the concept of it is not that difficult to imagine#when he sees it on flint’s face.. hears it in his voice when he’s talking about thomas in that unfamiliar softspoken tone#when he remembers those few brief moments where he spied flint looking at miranda like she was the only source of light in his world#its almost impossible to remind urself that that same man is also capable of horrible things#that the world refers to him as nothing more than a villain and a monster#flint is still a good man before he is anything else the world attributes to him. and silver REALLY knows it now.#so if he thought flint was being tortured before.. it must be hell he imagines now#the point is they suck and im sad (via @theheirsofdurin)
