Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity. And so we ask ourselves:

– Odysseus (Troy, 2004)

Okay so I’m having a lot of feelings about this gifset, like looking at it kinda makes me want to cry. All of it is so perfect, like

Charles Vane, the man who fought like hell against Britain’s tyranny, gave his life so that it would inspire others for years to come to continue that fight.

Jack Rackham, whose primary concern (after Anne’s welfare of course) is that over his name. He wants more than anything to be remembered, for his mark to be left on Nassau in one way or another long after he is gone.

John Silver, who is struggling to find himself in this world he never wanted to be a part of. Where he began is so very different to where he is now, and he has undergone a drastic transformation in order to survive. Future generations will ask: who was Long John Silver, the man behind the legend?

Anne Bonny, a fighter til the end, who took it upon herself to defy the expectations placed on her and thrive in a world largely dominated by men. She took to it well, and continues to place herself in danger to protect those she loves and fight for what she wants.

And James Flint, a man driven by love at his very core. The depths of his love for Thomas and Miranda have twisted his nature into one of vengeance and suffering. James McGraw was profoundly wronged by England, and it is Captain Flint’s determination and brutality that will see that wrong righted in his love’s name.
