#(text from Violence and the Sacred by Rene Girard for anyone not Aware)#i have been meaning to do this for a WEEK at least#but my phone wasn't powerful enough to create this image so i had to wait until i had time to make it on the computer#this is making up for me being unable to physically project the text of violence and the sacred onto the theater wall last night#for the benefit of the other movie-goers#but yeah anyway#Billy becoming Like Flint in opposition to him is the ultimate example of Mimesis in black sails. to me.#literally Billy's black s4 vest has an almost IDENTICAL texture to Flint's evil s2 coat from the fucking warship - it drives me crazy#and this quote also highlights what the main thing about them that Gets Me is which is that - in a lot of ways - their emotional issues and#the ways they respond to them are very similar#and yet they never seem to recognize that??#or Flint doesn't anyway#in fact - he doesn't seem to register that Billy is someone worth caring about at all UNTIL he materially opposes him#and then he's like 'oh shit oh no how could this have happened????'#and it's like. buddy.#do you want me to play you the Communication Failure Highlight Reel???????#as a very wise man once said#WHAT THE *FUCK* DID YOU THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN??????????????#black sails#if Black Sails Zine 2.0 ever gets resurrected - i will rewatch the show just to write the most fucked up essay imaginable about Themb#because GOD knows i could...#(threat)
