Black Sails I: "A YOUNG SAILOR enters."

COOK: Oh, so you're a coward then?

JOHN SILVER YOUNG SAILOR: Yeah. You too?

Item the first: Where do I begin with John Silver? Actually, let's start from a different angle. John Silver begins Here, no sooner and no later than he sees The Opportunity (though he does not know the Narrative has chosen him just yet, nor that aligning his fiscal goals with those of Captain Flint will irrevocably alter the course of his life) and he takes it.

My first impression of John Silver is that he was a cheeky bastard an impish scoundrel who was possessed of the bad habit of biting off more than he could chew and just enough strategic/ballsy charm to walk away relatively unscathed. I was drawn in by the fact that he was equipped with a dashing smile, at least before, you know, everything that followed, but you could tell behind his big blue eyes that he was playing some sort of 4D Chess.

I would like to credit the writers, showrunners, and actor man Luke Arnold for unfolding this character like a map with only half a key. He intrigues me, he infuriates me, I hate him forever, I love and forgive him implicitly, I cringe when he makes me think of myself. That rare sense of unbalance and discomfort brought on by a story is something I will treasure and hope to even come close to brushing against again. There is a John Silver imprint on my heart, thanks to this story, my own personal Black Spot.

My theory for the reason why Americans seem so grossed out at the idea of eating beans on toast is bc they think it's served cold??? Is that why??

[rowanhoney]

Man Americans weird me out so much

[opisasodomite]

Not to downplay cost of living and inflation etc etc but it’s very funny how many times I see people complain about expensive groceries and their grocery bill and then it’s almost always that they’re buying like, 6 packs of meats lmao

my mom will take one look at me standing in the kitchen and go "shit you should be on masterchef or something" and no, ma, just because i happen to be at my very best self when i cook, it does not mean i should be on masterchef or something
