John Silver Appreciation Week – Day 6: Favorite season(s)
» Season 3

“I cannot look weak. I cannot feel weak. I cannot be weak. Not in front of my men, not in front of your men, not at all. For some time now, I have been holding my entire world together with both hands, keeping my men in line, seeing to their needs… and the only way that endures is if I look the part. And I cannot look the part while being poked and prodded or while drooling through an opium haze saying who the fuck knows what. So I will endure this the way I have been enduring it.”

#there’s something about this little scene i love#no dialogue etc but still#first of all eleanor on a horse of course#i had completely forgotten#and miranda doing hard manual labour for her household#all on her own#what a difference that must have been to her luxurious life in london

#this gifset has so many of the things#I AM PERMANENTLY EMOTIONAL ABOUT#Miranda fucking Hamilton#who learnt to draw water from wells#and grow a thriving vegetable garden#like jesus i cannot even comprehend what it must have been like for her#and god this woman has strength and courage that i cannot even imagine#someone who learnt to remain sane and pragmatic in the face#of the complete deconstruction of her life#and ON THE OTHER SIDE#Eleanor fucking Guthrie#in her leather jacket#fighting to take control#of a world that has told her from day one#THAT SHE IS NOT ENOUGH#I LOVE ALL THE WOMEN IN THIS SHOW TO BITS AND PIECES#BUT THESE TWO ARE THE ONES I WILL DEFEND TO THE DEATH
