Moving to @alitneroon

Hey all - even though this blog is relatively new and active (and I love the url...) I’ve decided to consolidate all my sideblogs onto my main, and that includes this blog. Managing a bunch of sideblogs was just getting too unwieldy.

I’m planning to keep posting a lot of black sails content and I’ll be tagging everything, so I’m hoping you’ll follow me over there!

My feelings on silvermadi are like...

“Silvermadi is sweet and they deserve to be happy together, they’re supportive and gentle and good, happy silvermadi ending is the best outcome”

“...but Silver and Madi were both in love with someone who didn’t really exist and their value systems are not properly aligned and Silver’s betrayal was so deeply opposed to Madi’s central beliefs that they can’t properly reconcile and even if they did it would be sad and never quite right and take years”

“That was Flint’s treasure that we had come so far to seek, and that had cost already the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. How many it had cost in the amassing… perhaps no man alive could tell.” 

Treasure Island - Chapter 33: The Fall of a Chieftain

[calicorackhams]

thinking about how black sails is fanfiction of treasure island by its most technical definition but is also thematically and stylistically fanfiction. Relationships are complicated and of types not normally treated in mainstream fiction. Character interactions are given time to breathe, the plot moves forward in the ways the characters feel about each other rather than the characters responding to the environment. The text-plot is more a vehicle for the character-plot than the end in itself. There are whole episodes where basically nothing happens that are some of the best because they bring the characters forward. And the dialogue and, as counterpoint, the moments when feelings are so skillfully shown by actions instead of words feel like fanfic... plus the whole story is centered around the idea that what we see is not always the whole truth, that stories can hide things between the lines for the benefit of the storyteller, and it’s exploring what’s between those lines....

black sails meme: [6/6 dynamics] you’re frustrated, you’re angry, you’re tired. perhaps no one else knows why. i believe that not even you know why. but i know why. the crown is always a burden, but it cannot be borne if you cannot stand.

- I saw a dead dog lying in the grass when I was young. She was an old bitch in life, but just a pup in death. I remember seeing the first flies set on her eyes. How strange it was that they looked so alive and yet did not move. That was the first moment that I wondered what this moment would feel like. - James, you resented me because we were so close… and I threw it all away. If you join me now, what if I resented you for the same reason? - What would I be throwing away?

It wasn’t supposed to end like this. How can we all have sacrificed so much and none of us has anything to show for it?
