absolutely adore how they made edwin so bitchy and sassy and strut and sometimes disguise himself as woman. like they really said let the repressed edwardian ghost serve cunt

I want to put them all in an enclosure and see what happens.

one of my favorite things about listening to music is at the end of the song when you hear the musician laugh or talk to other people it's like they switch from some ethereal being back into a person

to me odysseus not recognizing ithaca is genuinely heartbreaking. the phaeacians must have broken their promise, because it can't be ithaca, because he doesn't recognize it. in his truest soul he believes that if he came home, he would know. but he can't be allowed to know it, because you can never go home. even when you are home.

when the amazing devil said "i've held your hand since 1979" and "i chipped my teeth on every joke you cracked" and "you stole the best years of my life (i'll give them back)" and "you're the thigh-high hemline i just can't stop staring at" and when they said "your eyes aren't rivers there to weep but a place for crows to rest their feet"

and when the amazing devil said "she sang 'do you think i'm sexy?' and oh god i really did" and "you're not flawed, darling, you're just a little under-rehearsed" and "i've loved you for a hundred years (certainly fucking feels like it)" and when they said "and now, even though you're mad and these memories won't stay, that's okay, cause now i get to meet you for the first time every single day"

bringing this back for ides of march eve

reading julius caesar is like: what if you were caesar's closest friend,,,,, and I was the main force of the growing rebellion against him,,,,, and we together conspired to assassinate him on the ides of march,,,,, and we were both boys

Also yelling bc in treasure island it says that flint drank himself to death in Savannah except the entire ending of black sails emphasizes stories and how you can never know what is true or what is untrue even if you were there to see it and so we as viewers only know what we are told--we never see silver kill flint, we never know if he retired, we dont know where he went, we learn about flint reuniting with thomas through a story silver tells, we learn that he drank himself to death because the words on a page tell us so and in the end you cant even find comfort in the ending treasure island gives flint because there is perhaps one man that knows the truth of it all except the truth has been warped and marred by time until it is completely unrecognizable even to himself and we're left with the ghosts of stories that are littered with truths but filled to the brim with lies and uncertainty and so maybe flint still haunts skeleton island or maybe flint haunts the sea or maybe flint haunts Savannah or maybe flint haunts silver or maybe the reality of it is that flint haunts everything because no matter which story you chose to believe and take as the truth they're all stories and in each and every one of them flint is a man that met his end by the hand of john silver

the thing is i dont believe the plantation happened. but i believe flint drank himself to death in savannah. and i believe silver killed him on that island. and i believe sailing to georgia was one of the most painful things silver has ever gone through bc of how flint was. and i believe silver didnt shoot him. and i believe flint didnt survive it.

one of the most appealing things about black sails is the fact that flint has been dead since the beginning. we know how it ends. you can't change it.

[ragesingoddess]

can't stop thinking about how insane black sails was to put silver in the very fucking last episode, stand in his full Long John Silver Glory, with his one leg and his broken self, the myth he didn't even create himself looming heavy over his shoulders, stare at the face of the scared crew member and listen to him say "please, I'm just the cook." like. how insane do you have to be to write this

[ragesingoddess]

black sails is about them. to me.
