like i 90% of the time cant physically stand to think about silver but in the end i feel like his character says something about the banality of evil, like all other interpretations bring great stuff to the table, but in the end it was him inflicting his giving up on other people and i cant fucking ever abide by that
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.”
anyway can you believe eleanor guthrie put her respectability – that thing she had worked all of her life to just get – as so low a priority when it came to max, like she didn’t care what the pirates will say about her rule of nassau if it meant max was safe
and when that wasn’t working she just went ‘no anne one isn’t enough we kill them all’ like
i don’t like it when people reduce eleanor to like, just being business savvy and a morally neutral type of sly as if she weren’t co-running the revolution with flint for a season and a half, as if she wasn’t the woman whose still fury and relentless justice scared anne bonny for a good 5 seconds… like she’s complex and she’s cunning and she ends in an unfortunate place that suggests a shifting moral center… but she’s not without a core nor without a compass… she gets spit out of her own story, she’s no martyr but i adore that about her… she just isn’t self-less and she puts herself first and that’s often the standard state for male characters tbh
