Black Sails XXXVIII / Die Hamletmaschine

[m-b-w]

[Image ID: Image 1: Silver from the TV show Black Sails during the final confrontation with Flint on Skeleton Island. The subtitle reads “I don’t care.” Image 2: a passage from Hamletmachine which reads: the actor playing Hamlet: I am not Hamlet. I don’t take part any more. My words have nothing to tell me anymore. My thoughts suck the blood out of the images. My drama doesn’t happen anymore. Behind me the set is put up. By people who aren’t interested in my drama, for people to whom it means nothing. I’m not interested in it anymore either. I won’t play along anymore.“ /ID]

when the unresolved psychosexuality of the relationship is way better than whatever resolution it might hypothetically have and actually its own being unresolved is the crux and the paradigm of what the characters have going on between them:

i think it's really disingenuous to judge black sails characters (silver) by their betrayals because this is literally all they do the entire series, betray each other and anticipate betrayals and act accordingly in order to achieve their goals. so the thing that's killing me isn't really a breach of trust that was done by most of them in the end - it's how unbelievably wrong they all are. silver didn't just betray flint and madi, he decided he knew how to make them happy, and he was wrong. max didn't just betray nassau, she thought she was securing its' future, and she was wrong. eleanor didn't just betray vane or flint or her husband or the pirates. rogers didn't just betray eleanor. they all followed their own fears and delusions into submission, into forcing their loved ones into submission, all for a mirage of safety, and they didn't even end up safe. because you can't stay safe when your life depends on an empire's whim, and you willingly gave up your power to say no.
