And that is what makes them invincible. 

Flint’s monologue, aside from being beautiful, also reveals his truest nature. Silver sees Flint as being filled with rage, and he is. But deep down, he’s also never relinquished Thomas’s idealism. Flint wanted to wage war against the world, but his belief in his ability to change it — and in Silver and Madi’s ability to see it through — was genuine. To say Flint only fought for rage is only half of the picture. (x)

#anyway anyone else crying over flint going from world’s biggest grumpy cynic to romantic idealist#all because of thomas and miranda’s influence that put him on that path and then silver and madi who kept him there#he had so much faith in those people but what breaks my heart is that he never really counted himself as one of them#one of those who had the capacity to /build/ a better world#he was the bridge that would carry those people he deemed capable of making a change to the other end#a tool used to incite a revolution.. ready to fight and bleed and die for it.. just to give those better suited a chance to make sth good#/they/ were the reason for his desire to change the world. he saw good in them.. he saw possibility and he wanted to fight for it. for them#and what absolutely KILLS ME is that in the end that unwavering faith in those people was what stopped him from pursuing it#just like it once stopped thomas#the choice was taken from them by someone who couldn’t or wouldn’t see the change#“a man trying to change the world fails for one simple and unavoidable reason – everyone else”#they weren’t invincible after all. at least not in the sense they were meant to be#but what makes me so happy is that now they have the chance to work together again#there likely won’t be a change on a grand scale that they’ll actively participate in#but i honestly don’t doubt that together they will kick a pebble somewhere along the way and start a landslide#:’) @captain-flint
