no fucking lie, William of William-and-Mary was prone to prosecuting coffeemen and their patrons for uttering and spreading, AND I QUOTE, “false news”
Weirdly, coffeehouses and pirate ships were both loci for Jacobite sentiment in the years following the Glorious Revolution. I don’t really have any conclusions to draw from that; it is just a fact.

“One gets used to a state of affairs for such a long time, it’s easy to forget that they’re all just transitions. Specks of dust suspended in the air until a strong enough gust comes along and rearranges everything”
This is definitely one of my favorite Black Sails quotes, it’s so beautiful and he sound so so sad and tired when he says it
And let me tell you, I’m feeling that sense of inevitability and lack of control implied by the whole “strong enough gust” thing. You can’t control the wind, you can’t control the fact that change is going to come that you didn’t initiate, and in James’ world (and mine sometimes) that change usually sucks. Oh James – I get you, darling.
today’s mood: loving thomas hamilton
tomorrow’s mood: appreciating thomas hamilton
thursday’s mood: unconfirmed, but likely to relate to either loving or appreciating thomas hamilton
The Black Sails character I empathise with the most is Blackbeard, because just like him, I too looked at Charles Vane and thought to myself “I don’t know what it is about this murderous, growling disaster child, but fuck if he isn’t my dumb alleycat son.”

Summary:Jack almost mistook the man who stepped out of the shadows for a stranger, but only because he was dead and had been for seven months. Charles Vane had lost a great deal of muscle mass in that time, and his head had been shaved unevenly, but Jack would know his friend at the ends of the earth.
