I know the moment is objectively sad but ‘Mr Gates’ heart has given out’ has got to be one of the funniest line deliveries in the whole of black sails. The fact he knows no one is going to believe it but you can still feel the absolute audacity seeping out of his voice. The side eye to Dufresne. The cunty stance. It’s so fucking good. Toby Stephens the man that you are.

joining a fandom ten years later and it lookes like there's almost no one active about it makes me feel like I've just come out of my fallout shelter to a world completely gone man

When the king brands us pirates, he doesn't mean to make us adversaries. He doesn't mean to make us criminals. He means to make us monsters. For that's the only way his god-fearing, tax-paying subjects can make sense of men who keep what is theirs and fear no one.

this is how they survive. You must know this. You're too smart not to know this. They paint the world full of shadows... and then tell their children to stay close to the light. Their light. Their reasons, their judgments. Because in the darkness, there be dragons. But it isn't true. We can prove that it isn't true. In the dark, there is discovery, there is possibility, there is freedom in the dark once someone has illuminated it

[But] the closer we got to Savannah, his resistance began to diminish. I couldn't say why. I wasn't expecting it. Perhaps he'd finally reached the limits of his physical ability to fight. Or perhaps as the promise of seeing Thomas got closer… he grew more comfortable letting go of this man he created in response to his loss. The man whose mind I had come to know so well… whose mind I'd in some ways incorporated into my own. It was a strange experience to see something from it… so unexpected. I choose to believe it… because it wasn't the man I had come to know at all… but one who existed beforehand… waking from a long… and terrible nightmare. Reorienting to the daylight… and the world as it existed before he first closed his eyes… letting the memory of the nightmare fade away.
