Ending a dramatic, tragic series on a joke that’s a) genuinely funny and b) connects in a meaningful way to the themes of the show is really A++, I mean honestly.

black sails provides sooo much rep for shitty leftists <3 it's got a misogynistic anarchist and a racist communist and a white liberal feminist and a dictatorial gay revolutionary with a messianic complex. leftist infighting show of all time
XI. Every man has his torments, demons born of past wrongs that hound and harass him. You perceive the effects of Captain Flint's demons, echoes of their voices, but I know their names. I was there when they were born. I know the things they whisper to him at night. So you can believe me when I tell you that within his chorus of torments...

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.
By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.
I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
it's probably from assholes making asks a minefield of trolling/harassment for years with no real blocking ability, which turned people off from allowing asks on their blogs so as a whole the site moved away from it
but now that we do have better blocking, we should try to revive it.

silver fell in love with the person with the most integrity out of ANYONE in the show...
Like. Ok. Madiposting time. Madi hates being disrespected she hates being condescended to and not taken seriously. She has no time for your bullshit. She can read you like a book but she will keep it close to the vest. She wants to be taken seriously. She does not like to repeat herself. She hates incompetence. She does not like being tricked. She does not like being laughed at. She does not like attempts to manipulate her. She hates miscommunication. She likes clarity. She likes unity of vision. She is romantic but she hates sentimentality impeding people's sense of what must be done. She will not pander to you she will not pick up after you she is not your mother. If you self deprecate in front of her she will not rush in to console you. She and Silver bond over honesty and respect. All this to say silver's betrayal is so carefully crafted as if it's meant to wreck her specifically it's SUCH. A violation. There's no way she ever forgives him.

always thinking of that “i couldn’t stop wasting time” quote
song of the summer!!
our wives under the sea by julia armfield
Good morning to spinal surgeons, former paraplegics, women on the run from a murder charge, con men from Southern states, professional torturers, businessmen raised by fishermen, Koreans who speak English but pretend they don’t, cursed lottery winners, Catholic rock stars, Australians who like peanut butter, lifeguards who can’t do CPR, ballerinas with mean stepmothers, estranged fathers and sons reconnecting with each other, and yellow Labrador retrievers
They all turned on me, discarded what I’d done for them, the sacrifices I made, and left me for dead. And I want them all to pay for it. (Billy Bones, Black Sails Season 4)
This scene right here. The conversation they have only with their eyes. Charles’ willingness to sacrifice himself. The realization on Billy’s face. It makes me remember about their interaction when Charles attacked Flint’s ship and wanted Billy to join his crew. He always respected Billy and knew that he would do the right thing. So in this moment he puts his faith in Billy. And Billy doesn’t disappoint him.
