Did the crew notice that Flint kept dedicating actual time and effort into maintaining his physical appearance under continued threat of gruesome and terrible demise. Everyone is splayed out on deck decaying beneath the pitiless sun raving about how the lord has abandoned them. Silver is gutting eels and catching on to pathetic fallacy through the power of desiccation and driving his mountain of a friend out of his goddamn mind about it. They are rotting away and they look like it. Yet their grief-riddled bloodthirsty ex-navy ultra-despotic mass-murdering gayass captain that they really fucking hate is still dressing head to toe in black and holing up in his gloomy fucking quarters to shave his own head and groom his beard to picture perfection. Suicidally depressed but won't get caught dead looking sloppy

#r.bci #he's the funniest motherfucker in the bahamas and he knows it too. i'm very fond of him. good night #black sails

John Silver actually thought for mutiple real minutes they were going to run away to St. Augustine together. Why did he think that was logical given Flint's everything

#r.bci #yes yes i know i. of all people. need not be reminded that silver's operations are often divorced from rationality #black sails

When I first watched 1x08 a few months ago and Gates turned away to face the door and Flint got that look in his eyes (I mean we all knew what was coming at that point) I just accepted it and went. Well. Sympathies, Hal, but you are in the way. NEEDS MUST. I was obviously sad about the neck snapping and all. But Nassau, baby. Jimmy has a vision. It's disjointed and immature but at least he's trying. Truly did not strike me that there were people out there who did not become ferociously attached to Flint's gore-covered self right from the get-go. You mean to tell me that you saw his shameless theatrical lying, you saw his desperate monomania, you saw him beat a guy to death with his bare hands (and a cannonball) for an audience. And you didn't like him? You saw his utter disdain for every man in sight and then you saw him turn right back around and very sincerely say "They're not animals, Mr. Scott. They're men starved of hope" and you didn't like him? You saw him fall to his knees at Miranda's door. And saw his whole being collapse with relief when she spoke. And you STILL didn't like him? Such is the curious variety of this great and beautiful world

Seriously, I am so endeared by how transparently charmed Flint becomes when Miranda goes on in the carriage about the variety of ways she has seen through to the core of him. Says SO MUCH about him. I'll keep saying it, he didn't smile at anyone the way he did with her (partly due to the tragedies and such, but mostly because he didn't have with anyone what he had with her). His motherwifemistressbestfriend that no one can measure up to. It's so good that even when he's delivering his grief-fueled master manipulator propaganda monologue to his rapt audience of crewmen who fucking hate him in 3x01, he cannot call her 'my woman' and leave it at that. He needs to say she was his friend. Real nice stuff, sisters (gn), real nice

DIABOLICAL ACTING CHOICES ALL AROUND

#black sails #was the smile scripted did the director put him upto it was it a conscious decision was it temporary insanity. i would like to know #r.bci

Often neglect to think about the true extent of all that's wrong with him as Silver's inimitable form of batshittery keeps me occupied but. He was up there! He WILL receive a consolation prize for how much he enjoys causing a fright

#r.bci #all of these had to be scripted. they put actual thought into fleshing out this little character trait #black sails

Suddenly recalled Silver calling Madi his 'wife' and was overcome with incandescent rage. Then remembered that he called the revolution 'Flint's war' to Madi's face at the end. Almost did something drastic. But then remembered the fact that he will literally, forever, cast about in the dark for some proof that he mattered. And he will find none. And he'll know that he gave it away. In that moment. On that island. Left it in the ground. Along with the chest. So I calmed down

#r.bci #still wish madi had him keelhauled though. just a little bit.#black sails

Insane that Silver's absence/death made Madi and Flint an unbreakable unit. Their understanding soars to such heights in a couple of days because he wasn't present to throw off the balance.

Madi's wisdom and steadfast principles bring out the compassion Flint had lost for the men around him. He's reminded over and over again by her leadership that the fight is about the people, the community—that every single person may be sacrificed for the cause, and that is why all of them matter. And Madi is buoyed by his titanic hope and resilience. She finds strength in his audacity. They are both terrifyingly competent and completely aligned. I doubt they had time for much conversation, but it's so clear that they recognise each other! They come to an agreement even separated by the sea. Which Silver is petrified by. And when either Flint or Madi is removed from the equation? Everything implodes.

John Silver WEAKEST LINK OF ALL TIME
