As long as you and she stand for it nothing can stop it from beginning now.

#john silver #madi scott #blacksailsedit #“you sound exactly like him”#oh god #he is never going to escape this past as he’d once escaped his old ‘irrelevant’ past #he’s convinced himself now that this one is no less relevant than the old. absolved himself from the obligation of keeping it#of being defined by it #“i don’t care” … “you will. someday you will” #his past wearing flint’s face and carrying flint’s voice has latched onto her and now it’s going to haunt him #he will see him in her rage after having lost her chance to change the world #he will hear him in her wisdom and intelligence #he will feel him in her stubborness and conviction #he will find him in her books #his shadow will linger in every nook and cranny of silver’s life until it forces him out of it #until
the slow suffocating in the stale comfort surrounded by her presence
that has long ago lost her image makes him want to run #run right back to his old life so he could /drown/ in the overwhelming familiarity #run in search of the storyteller.. the first who ever managed to impart meaning to his life #run in search of proof that he once mattered #and he will find none #what the fuck #WHTA THE FUCK #my stuff via @captain-flint
