Black Sails gets my fav vine that haunts me whenever I am trying to explain anything with graphs.

[Video ID: Silver and Madi are on the Walrus in a room with a table of maps as the Nickelback song Photograph plays. One cut-up line from the song plays as the video fades between the two characters.

"Look at this graph!"

Silver points to some things on the map and smirks. Madi appears unimpressed. Silver tries to use a navigation tool. Madi is concerned. Silver looks away from Madi, thinking. Silver hastily puts the tool onto the map and then the ship blows up. End ID]

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.

Rewatching black sails for the first time in its entirety and being two episodes away from the end, knowing what's coming

It's the way silver loves madi and flint too much to continue their war. But his love is selfish, he is putting his love for them above their own wants. And it feels as though he's saying i dont love you enough to wage your war, i love you too much to wage your war. how do you choose one irreplaceable thing over another. how do you choose one irreplaceable person over another. why MUST i choose.

The worst part is that silver doesn't even recognize his love for flint, or flint's love for him. He's able to reconcile his feelings for madi because they make sense to him its comfortable, and he doesn't realize he holds love for flint as well

Despite telling them both that he'll wait for them for however long they need and quite literally creating parallels of his relationships to them, he doesn't realize this.
