the fact that from the very beginning Flint says that all he wants is to walk away from the sea and find some damn peace. something about it is just devastating, how much he didn't want to become this person but how necessary the role was to his survival and how much of a tragedy Flint's creation was. all he wanted was peace, he never wanted to get involved and make problems. and he was denied it. he was denied the peaceful life with the people he loved and so he became the monster of their stories, because he cannot let his loss go without answer, but that want is still there. it always has been. all he ever wanted was peace
#black sails#captain flint#i started a rewatch#and the first time through I missed the first like 2 1/2 episodes#because I joined my dad midway through#so I missed this characterization#and it is. fascinating#without context its like. ah another incredibly dangerous pirate grows weary of the neverending dangers and routine of the life#but then /with/ context...
