one of my absolute favorite scenes in black sails is the one in vii when the walrus and the ranger set sail for the urca to the tune of the parson's farewell.
there is just such... finality to it.
#YES grand speeches YES the love confessions etc etc but#hear me out#or don't actually#i feel like this may be a kinda me-specific thing#but the way it is set up#with the bright colors and the jaunty tune#like this is a set up to an epic adventure#except we all KNOW that it isn't#and especially if you already know what's coming......#nothing's changed#nothing's the same#gates just acquiesced to flint's murder#flint himself#well#flint is flint#but he is so sure that he has things well in hand???#my god#and also i just like looking at ships so sue me#black sails

i am once AGAIN thinking about the scene in black sails where flint has just been forced by miranda to confront his overwhelming grief over losing thomas, which has been fueling his unholy rage for the past two seasons. flint is sitting there, having a flashback, drowning in the tragedy and injustice of his gay lover’s death… then vane bursts into the room like a roided-up kool-aid man and immediately tries to kill him. 10/10, flawless tonal whiplash, one of the funniest moments in the entire show.
#if you think about it vane was just being a bro by distracting him from his gay angst.#charles vane queer ally#and by ally i mean he’s very bisexual but he would still CALL himself an ally while making out with jack in public.#black sails#james flint#charles vane#black sails season 2 spoilers

"If you're trying to impress me, it isn't working."
#black sails#silverflint#john silver#james flint#blacksailsedit#silverflintedit#my stuff#silver really is trying to impress flint here#even though he knows he shouldn't care#but he can't help himself#he definitely lies to himself about it too#meanwhile flint doesn't need to impress silver at all#he doesn't even look to him the way silver does#even now silver wants to be on equal footing with flint#cos flint is so damn smart and other smart ppl are hard to come by#but flint doesn't yet see silver that way#he sees him as useful but not an equal#not yet

me being sad when other ppls snm aus are sad and when max suffers somehow but then my au's max is just
#what 1 week no sam does to a mf#escape room au#ok context for the 2 ppl that will read this#first is just maxs general look nothing special#the worn out hoodie went from wearing something to hide his identity a tiny little bit (lol) to him needing a comfy item#he doesnt smoke often but i like to play with the idea that both him and sam smoke when separated#2nd is him going back to their alt timeline office post ttiv; it stayed the same thanks to flint who he talks to after a decade#he goes thru some photos memories all that etc etc#third is from the part after the plot it takes the name from. which is kinda silly cause its not a huge part of it#but its when he takes the elevator and goes back to when he killed the clones in the get a clue room and stops himself from offing them#takes them to elsewhere most likely the other timeline as he then continues living in sams one but he escapes#i guess thats where the escape room name also applies. oouuuuh interesting k#the wound is from sam

whats that joe iconis? you want *me* to be in charge of the jeremy outfits from now on?? well if you insist....
#ngl i dont think he would have the confidence to wear anytihng like this til hes like 23 but#um have you considered what if he did and he got to be fluffy and express himself right now#like have you thought about that ////lh#jeremy heere#bmc jeremy#jeremy bmc#be more chill#bmc#my art#my posts#jeremy#art#wuuujer#posts#<- thats me making a tag for my own jeremy dont worry about it sldjkfdslkf#hes converging with flint lockwood now i really have to backpedal#i wanna do a closeup of his and michaels phone cases i think michael would bully him#btw my headcanon for his queerness in this image is he just opened the possibility of identifying as something other than cishet#and is like oooh i might be aro and nonbinary or something#may or may not be true in the long run but thats how he feels now!!

flint tries to impress cosmo and ben ruins it
#toontown#ttcc#toontown corporate clash#flint bonpyre#firestarter#cosmo kuiper#plutocrat#benjamin biggs#bellringer#do i tag spruce. i dont think so#cosmo & flint#strawglicks art gallery#hey guys. i think there needs to be more content of flint trying to be confident .#its so amusing to me its one of my favorite things abt them#this audio had my brain racking .. imagining flint making something up to make himself seem confident to impress cosmo#is so funny to me#dont forget they look up to cosmo bc ppl seem to forget that.#also ben is here. and ben being all-knowing and completely blunt will always be there to expose cogs#flint included

been rewatching black sails for the third time (showing a friend) (as one must) and im finally solidifying my thoughts on one of the things i most love about it. which is that, a lot of times a story will have like... you know. Love vs Hate. Good vs Evil, Anger vs Forgiveness. and those themes can have their place, sure, but when it comes to meaningful commentary on the human condition they really tend to wind up falling short
and black sails doesnt have that. instead the main dichotomy that drives its characters to action is Hope vs Fear. and i could write a thirty page essay on this, in fact i have attempted multiple times to provide supporting arguments in this post but i cant start typing and contain it to Not thirty entire pages so you will just have to trust me. on this one.
#everhthing is hope vs fear and at the end flint has cleansed himself of fear and has only hope but he has tied himself too closely to silver#who has felt nothing but fear in his whole life 👍 and projects his worst fears onto flint and makes them all come true in the process#And Uits Good.#black sails

just finished the second season of black sails and i gotta say i understand why it makes queers go feral
#i’m frothing at the mouth#black sails#i watched the first season yesterday and didn’t really enjoy it much#the pacing is really weird the characterisation was shallow at best and the whole thing stank of game of thrones levels of forced edgyness#but man the second season slapped so hard full 180 turnaround#the flashbacks were expertly crafted all major characters have relatable motives and they pull through ruthlessly#their fatal flaws are right there and like a greek tradgedy it all happens exactly how it must#in revealing it’s nature as a character study of flint and of what broke him so utterly the pacing actually becomes so poignant and perfect#with each new bit of information we’re given we understand his urgency his ruthlessness his unwavering calm hatred#he’s turned himself into a proper fucking monster and it’s tragic because it could only have ever gone this way#there’s no way out and the show being a prequel we know he lives we know he can’t win#actually doomed by the narrative in the worst/best way#but by god i just want his to set the world aflame

Ok, thinking now abouttttt if somehow Flint broke back into the Grid and interacted with Uprising Tron & like. How that would even go down...
Uprising!Tron is so absolutely intense & like he has attempted to turn off his emotions & he acts cold and harsh since the terrible reality of his existence in Clu's Grid is his life.
Adding in Flint among all of that... like, how would that even go??
Tron would likely be upset and distraught for Flint being added into the fray, but how else while he's already damaged goods be able to protect another he loves without risking derezzing for his own user?
Would he even be happy to see Flint? Is he capable of doing so when in such a poor mental headpace??? Would he be able to even allow himself to advance in his affections for his user?
I dunno I dunno I dunno...
#hmmmmmm#im thinking hard about this today hmmmmmmmm.....#flint wpuld want to hug him and kiss him in relief and pure happiness &#tron would be full horrified that flints now stuck here too#and how can he protect him AND beck??? like#it would be a lot but also like#tron would be so deep in his duties that#wpuld he be able tp surface himself and allow himself to be happy????#i just dont knowewwwwwwwwewww
