“Whatever happened before season one, you know, there’s a whole history of them being tight on one of the most feared crews and ships in the area. So there’s a whole lot of history there.”
I’ve been so desperate to paint that I bought a paint-by-numbers at Barnes and Noble and covered it in white-out to do this. It worked surprisingly well.
you know, we and the show talk a lot about flint’s gift for making speeches and silver’s way of spinning the truth and even billy’s back for building a legend, but you know who had some genuinely evocative lines?

besides the (correctly) celebrated burn your city line, she says something to eleanor that, even before we understand the true depths of what she’s saying, is so fucking good
I remember when I first met Eleanor, how stunned I was. A woman who spoke the way she did, who had no fear of the world or the men who reigned over it. When I became her lover, I watched the decisions she made and resolved to learn from them. When I became her rival, I watched the mistakes she made and resolved never to repeat them. But at the end, when I felt I had surpassed her in every way, it seemed as though there was something she was still trying to say to me. Surrendering everything she had sacrificed so dearly for, because it would have come at the expense of the one she loved. She was trying to tell me, I just could not hear her, about what is truly important.
Odysseus, on his journey home to Ithaca, was visited by a ghost.
The ghost tells him that once he reaches his home, once he slays all his
enemies and sets his house in order, he must do one last thing before
he can rest. The ghost tells him to pick up an oar and walk inland. And keep walking until somebody mistakes that oar for a shovel. For that would be the place that no man had ever been troubled by the sea. And that’s where he’d find peace.
In the end, that’s all I want. To walk away from the sea and find some peace.
