“You raised me to respect the truth; to know it is the root of all virtue. I’m asking if you’re sending me away because someone might ask me what happened in this house last night and I would tell them.”

             “Abigail, I understand that you’re upset…”

“Why aren’t you? A man and a woman rescued me, cared for me, delivered me home; now one of them is dead. The other is about to be, and the only man, it seems to me, to have committed a crime in all this still works for you. Is that not the truth?”

#blacksailsedit#abigail ashe#me screaming into the abyss: I LOVE ABIGAIL ASHE#i’m so emo about this scene#because this is abigail’s ultimate disillusionment with the idea of england and civilised society and everything that her father represents#she’d had her doubts and confusion prior to this#with the revelation that the pirates were not the monsters she’d been told they were#but this is when it shatters#abigail would have never been the same after this scene#AND WE NEVER GOT TO SEE IT!!!#i refuse to believe that abigail ashe#abigail ashe who stood up to men she didn’t know who were much bigger and stronger than her and told them to stop#abigail ashe who survived being kidnapped by pirates#abigail ashe who just called her dad the fuck out#that abigail ashe#would have just sat quietly and gone to savannah#give me an abigail who stayed in charles town and spoke out for flint at the trial#who refused to be cowed by the men trying to shut her down#give me an abigail who left on the walrus#an abigail who had to learn to carve out a place in a world outside of civilisation because she couldn’t live inside it anymore#give me an abigail who makes a life in nassau and is friends with max and idelle and silver and maybe she looks at the walrus’ books#since dufresne is gone now and her education will have been far beyond any of the men’s educations#give me an abigail who meets woodes rogers and can’t think of anything other than her father and the sham of civilisation#an abigail who joins the underground#an abigail who’s story gets to be told all the way to the end#not just until it stops being relevant to flint#because she deserves so much more than that#ABIGAIL ASHE!!!#*heart eyes* via @alkyones
