Ask a historian, “What was mankind’s greatest invention?” Fire? The wheel? The sword? I would argue it’s history itself. History isn’t fact. It’s narrative, one carefully curated and shaped. Under the pen strokes of the right scribe, a villain becomes a hero, a lie becomes the truth.

Freedom and Resistance Black Sails Musical Parallels | VI. XVI. XXIII. XXVII. XXVIII. XXIX. XXXI.

music variation note: XXIX plays only the first and third note of the beginning of the theme's melody.

I spent a year rewatching Black Sails and tracking all the bits of music that repeated at any point during the show, and my findings are reinforcing that Bear McCreary is a genius and this show should have been called 'parallels that will kill you over and over again'* (tag | chronological)

Ok I know I have been on a kick about this. But for real. The level of similarity between Silver's Darkness Chats (tm) with Flint and with Madi. [Madi, after Dobbs beats one of her men:]

I've known him since we were children... suffered illness and loss by his side. Watched him give his loyalty, his sacrifice and his love to my mother, to me. So you can just imagine what that was like, asking him to accept what was done to him at the hands of men who look so very much like those he watched murder his parents when he was a boy. You can imagine how tempted I was to take that knife and put it in his hand and let him use it to his liking. You can imagine the restraint it took for me not to let my people loose. But where does that leave us? So I will fight this thing rising up in me eager to see more blood spilled today, and I will serve them by minding their future and doing the hard thing that will lead to the outcome desired by all of us.

She has the same -thing- Flint does, and has come to terms with it much like he has, except earlier and better. But Silver really should have known from that moment that setting her up as a counterpoint to Flint was wishful thinking.

This is my entry for @built-on-sand!!!

John Silver could not be the one to tell Captain Flint about his long lost love. He could not. But it also turned out he couldn’t keep it from his Captain’s daughter.

This is a response to the prompt "flinthamiltons child", and it was really fun to write!!! Thank you so much for putting this challenge together and I hope you all enjoy this!!!
