Great men aren’t made great by politics. They aren’t made great by prudence or propriety. They are, every last one of them, made great by one thing and one thing only: the relentless pursuit of a better world. The great men don’t give up that pursuit. They don’t know how. And that is what makes them invincible.

Two times Flint gave up but Silver was having none of that crap

#flint lowkey (or not) wants to die but silver won’t let him#“stop interrupting my death silver”#“IF IM GONNA SUFFER THEN UR GONNA SUFFER WITH ME”#truly a beautiful relationship#no but honestly this fucked me up#both times flint embraced the “inevitable” death#except those weren’t certain deaths#he chose not to move from the cannon blast and he was conscious as he sank#and the second time he chose to challenge their captors knowing it would result in his death#he chose not to see a way out but silver showed it to him anyway#pulled him back from the ledge both times#i love that the 1st time silver did it it ws mostly for his own gain#he needed flint alive in order to survive what happened next#but the 2nd time was basically “i want you to live. for me. bc i dont like the idea of you dying”#he risked his life and the lives of the crew just so flint wouldn’t risk his own#how fucking gay is that#look how far they’ve come im so proud#if flint risks his life one more time im gonna kill him myself#STOP IT YOU SELF SACRIFICING OLD BEAN#LOVE YOURSELF PLS#PEOPLE LOVE YOU#SILVER LOVES YOU#I LOVE YOU YOU SHIT (tags @theheirsofdurin)
