the way flint and silver can’t even fucking hug each other. silver dies and comes back and they just walk side by side very close without touching. madi dies and flint just puts his hand on silver’s shoulder and its the most insane moment because they don’t TOUCH otherwise. you’re in each others’ heads but you won’t touch? like even VANE hugs jack and if vane saw a gay man irl he’d floor it. if touch not suddenly significant why don’t you touch each other. why do you avoid it in a way that seems that deliberate you freaks

[kabaks]

THEY ARE ORBITING…they are constantly orbiting in s4 but never touching it is. normal. its normal. especially thinking about it from flint’s perspective if he Knows He Feels Something which is more likely bc he’s less crazy it’s like okay so you are deliberately doing that. pride and prejudice ass i hate it here

[kabaks]

Wow so true bestie. Yk I think the only time they touch after Silver loses the leg and before the Grief Stricken Shoulder Pat is

Which could mean nothing

obsessed with Dooley in black sails. background character for 35 episodes, then rapidly promoted to Plot Important after the silverflint divorce because toby stephens needs someone to make emmy nomination losing speeches and facial expressions against and every other possible contender is dead. overestimates his own plot importance, thinks he's going to get a good grade in being flint's partner (both normal to want and possible to achieve) by offering to kill his ex boystie (boy bestie) for him, and then dies with with most DUDE WTF??? expression anyone has ever made after being shot. rip, should know better than to get between flint and his homoerotic situationship. never stood a chance.

It happened. She has committed to the plan, to me. [...] She needs for there to be a man in the governor's office, not Jack. A man of her choosing, and she wants me to be his wife. [...] Just for appearance? And you said no? Why would you do that?

Perhaps it was he who did not know how to give, did not know how to love. Love was a country he knew nothing about.
