Content warning: execution, hangings, one scene of enslaved people in a cage.

[video description: a Black Sails fanvid set to a rewritten rendition by Chumbawamba of the folk song Bella Ciao. The song is sung a cappella. The video consists of scenes of Charles Vane. His procession to the gallows is interspersed with moments of resistance against England and defense of his principles and the people he cares about. Throughout the video, excerpts of his speech on the gallows are heard over the music:

These men who brought me here today do not fear me. They brought me here today because they fear you. […] They brought me here today to show you death, and use it to frighten you. […] But know this. We are many. They are few. To fear death is a choice. And they can't hang us all.

The video ends as Vane slowly strangles on the end of his noose.

Black Sails edits that align John Silver’s stomping with the beat of the music are irreplaceable works of art. Thank you Black Sails fan editors your efforts are not going unappreciated. The respect and gratitude and awe I have for you holds the emotional power of ten thousand people

[hartigays]

back on my bullshit

[thatlittlesentientfox]

hiii here are the things I like and post about with varying degrees of consistency:

black sails

art (painting especially)

anything about stories and narratives

music (esp 60s/70s/80s music, Hozier and a few other recent artists)

nature & creatures

the marauders

(esp the cadence of part-time poets & on another ocean) (jkr can go fuck herself)

lord of the rings

his dark materials

true detective (I’ve watched season 1 & 4)

…whatever else catches my fancy

how it feels existing in the world after watching black sails

[cashmere-caveman]

flint voice all i ever wanted was to walk away from the sea silver voice i never wanted to be a pirate flint voice i feared the man i was about to create. i feared that someone born of such dark things would consume me were i not careful. and i was determined only to wear him for a while and then dispose of him when his purpose was complete. and i thought of that story. billy voice i've watched her follow mad men. i've watched her follow rich men. i've watched her bow before tyrants. but now it's time she had a king. when we're ready, when he's ready, he'll step into the role we've created for him. flint voice when i say there's a war coming, i don't mean with the scarborough. i don't mean with king george or england. civilization is coming and it means to exterminate us. if we are to survive, we must unite behind our own king. billy voice we have no kings here. flint voice i am your king. billy voice but now it's time she had a king. when we're ready, when he's ready, he'll step into the role we've created for him. max voice until then, i remain long john silver. madi voice who is long john silver? silver voice well, that's a very good question. i assume he saw value in the tall tales told about me after that night in the tavern. saw mystery in it, perhaps. use my name upon which to build his story. flint voice one night he was alone on the late watch at anchor in the boston harbour when he sees this man climbing out of the water and onto his ship. a stranger. now, my grandfather thought about ringing the bell, but curiosity got the better of him. the stranger approaches my grandfather and asks him for a little rum. man said that he'd fled his fishing trawler. accused of killing another man. and when asked his name, the man simply replied mr. flint. billy voice when we're ready, when he's ready, he'll step into the role we've created for him. silver voice look, this deal, it's really a terrible idea. there are so many ways it could go wrong. me, i can't help myself. i see an opportunity, i take it. it's a sickness. truly. but you, you can still walk away.
