Men in these waters are hard men. They don’t fear ships. They don’t fear guns. They don’t fear swords.
Then what do they fear?
#this was by far the most badass scene i’ve ever laid my eyes on #and i mean the most badass holy shit i will never be over it #this here is flint’s true cunning intellect and ruthlessness at full power and it is terrifying #‘they don’t fear ships or guns or swords’ !! the fact that he’s made himself /bigger/ than all those things.. #bigger than death… is truly impressive #that silent heavy “me!” as he slowly turns at silver’s question is what alone gives me chills #but then he actually sneers as the scene before him turns into complete fcking carnage #the /pride/ and satisfaction that radiates off him as he watches his mindless puppets rush off into their death #this wasn’t just to humiliate dufresne or to take back his command. no he lead these men into a trap bc they had the nerve to betray him #and as a lesson he let half of them die before he jumped in as their savior.. how fucked up is that #he did it in such a clever and devious way that no one but dufresne realized it.. and by that point it was already too late #lmao they actually voted him back into his station after this #and god this is just !!!! #it was ruthless. it was cunning. and it was what silver learned from /him/ #point is – flint is never to be underestimated. not in this scene and not now with silver by his side with the matching power #never doubt his ability to be 3 steps ahead of everyone. if he is to be beaten it will be because he chose to be #because he let someone get close and walk in step with him #otherwise he could convince people he’s the mf queen of england and they’d be none the wiser (via @captain-flint)
