Israel Hands: But I don’t wanna make sure Flint gets a happy ending with his supposedly lost love.
John Silver: You might get to kill people to make sure he gets out of there.
Israel Hands: In that case, when do we leave?
if news of long john silver has reached savannah, stands to reason news of captain flint has, too. for years. tales of violence and cruelty; more monster than man. the dreaded, the fearsome, the dead.
they only truly ever have half the story, don’t they?
thomas puts the two halves together, eventually. startled, at the way they fit together. james has too many scars and not enough stories, and thomas has always been too smart for his own good.
it’s night, a month later. the plantation is behind them, they’ve laid their roots down elsewhere; a small cottage, far inland, surrounded by green. james does not have to see water unless he wants to.
they’re sitting shoulder to shoulder on their porch, passing a bottle of rum hand to hand. the night is full of stories. the two of them, by turns touching, talking, weeping, chuckling. quiet, but never again secret.
it was all for you, james says, suddenly. i raised hell so i wouldn’t drown in the loss of you. he pauses, doesn’t say, i drowned anyway. i took her down with me.
thomas looks at the face in his hands; a legend, a pirate. a story, made man. kisses the freckles at james’ temple and whispers, as if i ever would have done differently.
Play at own risk, but here’s the “moment” I’ve been waiting for since S2. I might post the whole scene tomorrow through Youtube. Enjoy, Cry happy tears of Joy!
Still not over Thomas’s shaky little “Okay but this is actually real, you’re real, you’re alive and well and here with me after all these years” laugh before he hugs James though.
Next week on Black Sails
Flint: PRISON BREAK! ARGHJGJDHHFF!
Thomas: wait wat
Flint: *kills 17 people, sets 2 buildings on fire and somehow detonates a bomb* Let’s skedaddle babe!
Thomas: … ❤
*elsewhere*
Silver: *drops spoon abruptly* My Flint senses are tingling.
Madi: Predictably.
how long do you think before he starts a rebellion at that plantation?
#eh 24 hours or so#“okay well this is great so i’m just gonna…take my husband and go. yeah cool okay bye” [beheads people with the spade] (via @andlightplay)
#thomas is like james no #james thomas think of all the books you haven’t read #thomas: okay fine but no corpses okay? #james *sigh* fiiiiiine (via @thlives)
I should add that to the amnesia fic after he gets his memories back~ lmao
I give it not quite an hour. He’s got Thomas back now and Thomas can talk anyone into anything. If you think he hasn’t thought up a few ways to get out of there by now think again.
BLACK SAILS 410 SPOILERS
Here be spoilers. not using a cut because those things suck
things I loved:
-SILVER HOLY SHIT. That manipulative little shit. He didn’t kill Flint, he unmade him. He brought back James McGraw. It really was the only solution that would actually break the cycle of violence. He recognised the big picture, the one not even Flint could see, and he single-handedly prevented a catastrophic war that would’ve killed thousands.
-The pirates effortlessly boarding the bigger, better equipped and manned ship and taking that motherfucker
-”Please sir, I’m just the cook”
-Flint dropping Billy into the ocean. Again.
-Jack and Flint taking down Rogers was pretty fucking satisfying
-Rogers being humiliated by the system he represented, rather than brutalised by the system he inflicted upon the pirates. I hated the fucker, but he was a good villain.
-Madi’s rage, and her eventual understanding. I could have used 10 more minutes to explore her thoughts on the whole thing. It needed more Madi as a person, not a plot device.
-MARK READ. And Anne’s incredulous “are you kidding me” look when she’s introduced.
-TOM MORGAN.
-Featherstone as Governor!
-Idelle as a Governor’s Wife!
-Thomas motherfucking Hamilton, ladies and gentlemen.
-That hug/kiss/forehead boop
-I CRIED
-SERIOUSLY
-James Flint Got To Kiss A Man 2017
-I’M STILL CRYING
-The FLAG
-Jack, just… Jack.
-I’m so proud of my son Jack Rackham.
-And My Wife Max
-So proud.
Things I loved less
-Madi, Max, and Anne all being removed from the final battle fucking sucked. It’s almost enough to ruin it for me, let’s be frank. You go ahead and develop all these badass women and then shelf them for the finale? who the fuck decided that was a good idea? I get why Max was with Granny Guthrie, but Madi and Anne should’ve been right in the fucking thick of it. There was catagorically no reason to remove Anne from Jack’s crew for the battle. At all.
-Look okay. I can accept Flint being sent to the labour camp. I get it. He gets to live and move on from his war, but pays for his crimes against humanity. HOWEVER. Thomas Hamilton still doesn’t deserve to be there! Let him go!
-Black Sails may have invented Unbury Your Gays but they also invented Gays Can Be Happy So Long As They’re Confined To A Labour Camp. The implications of leaving them both there are kind of… not good…
-Someone write fix-it fic where they break out please
-The slaves totally got shelved too. Madi, the Maroon Queen, and Julius should’ve been involved in the finale, not just a footnote.
-The whole thing was definitely too rushed.
-Beyond rushed.
-Should’ve been 2 hours honestly
-The writers deserve an “I Tried” sticker, but ultimately their handling of race, gender, and sexuality did fall pretty fucking short.
IN SUMMARY
-I’m dead
-Someone spread some earth over me
-James Flint Got To Kiss A Man
Time to say again what a piece of shit Peter Ashe was for not only betraying the Hamiltons and James McGraw but also not saying a damn word about Thomas being fucking alive!
Useless coward.
