also now that i’ve had two seconds to think about it, I am outraged at the very idea that anyone could possibly think flint and thomas stay apolitical and incarcerated because they’ve got each other now. 

Thomas Hamilton, radical idealist, has just been wrongfully imprisoned and forced into manual labor for YEARS because England would rather see him dead than let him be in love, and he’s just found out that England murdered his wife and made their lover watch. 

James McGraw tried to help Thomas Hamilton change civilization. James Flint tried to burn civilization down. He’s just found out that his lost love is alive, sure, but also forced into incarcerated labor against his will–for the crime of 1) trying to change civilization, and 2) loving him. 

“Great men are made great by one thing only,” Miranda told James, smiling and confident and soon to be dead. “The relentless pursuit of a better world.” 

convince me these men don’t try and restart madi’s war. really. try me.

Remember when James McGraw was having a drink with Admiral Hennessey and the latter left him alone for like five fucking minutes and when he came back James had instigated a full-on barroom brawl and was bashing another officer’s face in for insulting the Hamiltons?

Yeah, Flint’s totally gone for good, guys.
