So, you think that they see me as the villain in this particular story?
#I rewatched this ep today and listen…this scene is so good…#the way the music grows desperate and shaky and a bit dark at the end to mirror flint’s sudden panic#he went from entirely lighthearted and open to BARRICADES UP while his inner self raged like a storm#because no one (other than miranda) has ever noticed – let alone acknowledged – that he’s in pain like this#and suddenly this curly-haired little shit walks into his life and sees through every layer he’s constructed to create captain flint#and recognizes that flint lives a life of suffering#‘it must be awful being you’ sounds so rude omgdslfjasdlfkjds like…/SILVER/…u insensitive piece of poo…#(this is why it took u like a decade to make a single friend my kid…honestly)#but silver doesn’t actually mean to be rude when he says things like this; he really is just being honest#flint is a puzzle to him and he’s merely putting the pieces together out loud#and the thing is that even though it takes flint off guard and /terrifies/ him…he NEEDED someone to recognize this. recognize his pain.#and LOOK HOW FAR WE’VE COME SINCE THIS MOMENT#knowing that silver could see through to his core became a welcome thing#and by the season three finale flint was willingly handing over the things he’d kept locked up tight…without fear and without hesitation#literally the BIGGEST secret he had…the one with the potential to ruin him…the one that already had#and all silver has to do is ask ‘will you tell me?’ and flint just DOES#I’M DYING :o) (via candlewinds)

#this scene is so crucial for our understanding of 3×10#silver has always come across as a rude little shit when he’s being honest#and i think flint has come to understand it and love it
