every time i see black sails stuff on my dash i just picture the show exactly the same but the characters quoting lines from the office. so silver is sitting there saying, “would i rather be feared or loved? easy, both. i want people to be afraid of how much they love me.” probably because that’s exactly what he said, but yeah

candlewinds:

I’M SCREAMING OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAAAAAAAZING

when flint realizes that silver betrayed him and stole his gold: “wELL WELL WELL…HOW THE TURNTABLES…”

flint when he’s trying to read and the crew is being ridiculous: [massaging temples] “there’s too many people in this world. we need a new plague.”

and the show being exactly the same but the characters quoting lines from the office is AMAZING but also!!! ALSO!!!! how about……….just taking the characters and plopping them down into The Office universe completely as they are and leaving them to their devices

AKA the characters of black sails just being perpetually confused by/frustrated by an office environment and the presence of a camera

max making the most sales bc she’s the smartest and knows people and can turn on the charm and form good relationships. WHO WOULD BE RECEPTIONIST?!?! BILLY MAYBE?!?!? because everyone loves him and he’s like The Glue™ of the office and he always has candy at his desk. billy would tell flint someone is on the phone and flint would be like “are they straight” billy: “idk” flint: “ask. if they are I am not here” billy: “but-” flint: “I AM NOT HERE BILLY”

jack: [trying to go to the bathroom and read his newspaper peacefully]
camera: [popping up]
jack: fOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! A MOMENT’S PEACE

anne looking right into the camera and scowling from beneath her hat until it goes away. eleanor telling it to “fuck off.” max just walking by it without a second glance because she has PLACES TO BE and STUFF TO DO.

silver walking up to the camera unsolicited and like, giving daily updates on how he’s feeling about flint. omg THIS WOULD BE HIS DREAM. SOMETHING THAT WILL JUST LISTEN TO HIM TALK ABOUT FLINT NONSTOP WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO ROLL THEIR EYES AT HIM. HE WOULD INTERRUPT OTHER PEOPLE’S COMMENTARIES AND JUST START TALKING ABOUT FLINT.

silver about believing in flint/flint being a God™: [chuckling] “I’m not superstitious………but I’m a little stitious”

I’m going to be thinking about this all damn day omg THANKS ANON
