I just rewatched the “in my head you are not welcome” silverflint scene in 3×01 and I had to pause bc, okay, right, some THINGS™ :

• first thing’s first: what was the ORIGINAL AIM?!? silver clearly has some stuff to say to flint, right. he’s got a speech. he’s planned this. he’s been lying awake, writing it all in his head, romantic hurdy gurdy inevitably playing in the background of this imagined scene. so he carefully opens the door and walks in very slowly, and keeps on GLANCING FURTIVELY over at sleeping flint as he gets closer and closer, seemingly with no intention to…actually wake him…in the near future…?!? just [glance glance] yep still sleepin’ :o) [glance glance] stillllllll sleeeeepin’ :o)
• you know what I would’ve done if I had something to say to the captain but the captain was sleeping. I would’ve maybe, I don’t know, been like, “hey…hey captain. wake up.” I’m not an EXPERT but I think that’s a pretty good first step, in accomplishing the whole getting someone to wake up thing.
• I know it’s not unusual for billy (and by extension, for silver) to pop a squat and wait for flint to wake up to deliver him news, but why is silver just sneaking up on him like that?! what is this boy doing!!!!
• was john just going to sit there all up close, take a lil breather, watch flint’s chest rise and fall?! surreptitiously wipe the dust off his bald head?!? check for new nose hairs?! examine flint’s rings?! WHAT WAS THE PLAN?!
• meanwhile, you’d think flint – James “Idk What to Do When My Personal Space is Invaded wAHHHH THOMAS IS LEANING IN HE’S LEANING IN-” Flint – would stir a bit upon hearing someone enter his room when he’s in a vulnerable position and not fast asleep, but the man is just…lying there, as peaceful as can be, eyes unopened, waiting for silver to get close enough, so that he can……tease silver…about not being sneaky enough……*chin hands*
• you’d also think that after like, a second or two, he’d sigh exasperatedly and get up to talk to his quartermaster properly. but this tired sweet potato is like, “no. lying down. lying down is good. whisper voice is good.” JOHN IS TRYING TO HAVE A SERIOUS CONVERSATION AND FLINT IS JUST…[half asleep] “run ur hand over my head john it’s a lil dusty up there”
• okay that isn’t in the script but
• john: [insistently] “I understand we faced colonial regulars out there last night” flint: [horizontal, eyes still closed, grumbling quietly] “……so >:(”
• ^^^ IS IN THE SCRIPT?!?!
• “so what john. so we faced colonial regulars. so you turn around and face the door. so you keep facing it, as you walk toward it, and leave me alone. so your face is sexy john” “WHA-” “so, I’m sleeping john. I need my beauty sleep, john.”
• is this a regular occurrence then. silver just…walking in on Flint Nap Time and blathering on and getting no response. like. “billy just got eaten by a shark” “…..so” “but it turned out the shark was gates, come back to life” “………so.”
• the ship gets all creaky at one point and flint is just swinging side to side on his lil bed inarguably thinking, “maybe this thing will just fling me out the window. jsut fucking. fling me out. that’ll be a story. CAPTAIN FLINT CAN FLY!!! D: WHAT NEW HORRORS WILL WE DISCOVER NEXT”
• flint finally stands up (A MIRACLE!!!) and silver is literally just gesturing wildly and yelling while flint is like, pinching the bridge of his nose, deciding, just moments after, that standing up was indeed the Worst Decision of His Life, one more regret to add to the running list of regrets. dear diary, never should have stood up when the curly was speaking. thirty fifth time I have made this mistake. not to worry, tomorrow is a new day. another new, insufferable day, woo fucking hoo-
• “in my head you are not welcome” “…….but I can still just waltz in here and watch over you while you sleep right. like that’s still cool, yes?” “oh yeah no that’s good we’re all good with that” “kay just checking”
• alternatively:
• “in my head you are not-” “BUT WHAT ABOUT IN YOUR BED AM I RIGHT?!? [finger guns] OHHHHH!! OHHHHHH-”

• WHAT WAS THE PLAN, JOHN?!?!?
