lesbianwaves:

one of the things black sails is about is revolution and you have a full spectrum of takes on it from marginalized characters, the most validated of all seems to be flint’s final position merely because he went through every other one, you saw him go through every other one, from julius’s ‘the world can’t be rushed’ prospective to eleanor’s preservation to max’s infiltration of the system, he was someone shrugging and addressing only the surface problems, then someone in power trying to change things from within, then someone nurturing an isolated micro society outside of civilization, then someone diplomatically seeking resolution with civilization, then someone murdering everything that moves and misuses power, and then, finally, someone ready to fight to bring down an unfair system and remake it anew

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
