Black Sails | 1.02 

[eleanoarguthrie]

many,, thoughts about max trying to take control of what she sees as the inevitable (anne leaving her, anne choosing jack over her) and anne’s repeated refusal to accept it as inevitable + how much she wants max to stay

Love how in the cold open of ep 1 of black sails everyone's just fucking it up and being super intimidating, but the immediate scene after the into is just. Them being massive dorks I love this show so much

I'm starting a Black Sails rewatch.

Finally. After two years. I didn't have the strenght to do it earlier. I thought... If I rewatch it now, then it means it's really over.

But I miss it so much.

It's time.

And I've got a wonderful crew to watch it with, so... let's get started!

I'll try to make some edits, if I'm not too busy.

BLACK SAILS REWATCH: EPISODE II

Odysseus, on his journey home to Ithaca, was visited by a ghost. The ghost tells him that once he reaches his home, once he slays all his enemies and sets his house in order, he must do one last thing before he can rest. The ghost tells him to pick up an oar and walk inland, and keep walking until somebody mistakes that oar for a shovel. For that would be the place that no man had ever been troubled by the sea, and that’s where he’d find peace. In the end that’s all I want. To walk away from the sea and find some peace.

Flint's go-to look of tight trousers and loose shirts...impeccable

[eleanoarguthrie]

okay i am aware that my url already gives my allegiances away but vane is such a good character in the show and i cannot wait to rewatch all of his s3 arc

in the first 3 eps there’s already so much !! defending jack, repeatedly, to other people! the way that his agreeing to leave with Teach is framed as a sacrifice made for jack as it’s the only way to achieve jack’s plan of defending the beach

[eleanoarguthrie]

wait i have more thoughts about vane actually

when we meet him in s3, he’s the most cooperative he’s ever been! he and flint are working together; as part of the partnership vane has ceded that flint is a better naval commander than he is (as vane’s in charge of the nassau ground militia). we learn that the only reason the partnership was able to happen was because vane defended jack to flint and stood between them. vane’s intro in s3 is being furious that jack tricked him into going after slave labour to rebuild the fort. eleanor being gone is doing wonders for his temperament, huh

anyway so there’s all of that, and then Teach shows up and immediately indicates exactly why Vane is the way he is; the sort of aggressive, uncompromising hypermasculine figure that Vane was in s1 - and vane promptly defends jack and his investment in nassau, does not seek Teach’s approval, does not revert to who he was previously

Only one of the many silly stories I've posted on IG during the rewatch.

If you wanna see me fangirl over Black Sails, and mostly Flint, as I make my way through the seasons, come say hi.

I've got a public account, so you can easily see the stories :)

MADI MY BELOVED

[eleanoarguthrie]

vane killing people is something that can be so personal

[eleanoarguthrie]

My favourite thing is people being rude to rogers' face

[eleanoarguthrie]

oh MAN I forgot how metal Teach's introduction is

BLACK SAILS REWATCH: EPISODE I

Let me tell you a story about a Spaniard named Vazquez. A few weeks ago he staggers into a tavern on Port Royal. Takes a seat next to an English merchant captain. Vazquez, it turns out, is dying. Bleeding to death from a knife wound to the belly. The knife wound was courtesy of his former employer, La Casa de Contratacion, in Seville. 

Colonial Intelligence. 

Naval, more specifically. One of their top agents in the Americas. Responsible for the security of one particular ship. A ship with a cargo so rich, the king of Spain is very anxious to see it launched. Vazquez warned that it was too late. Storm season was upon them and no escort could be mustered to guard her, but his superiors demanded that he sign off. They advised him that if he couldn’t arrange for an escort, he should plot a course for the ship unknown to anyone but her captain and consider that route to be a state secret of the highest order. When Vazquez refused and threated to report his concerns to the court, things got ugly. The ship in question... L’Urca de Lima. The largest Spanish treasure galleon in the Americas.
