You will. Someday, you will.

#can we talk about the fact that silver will one day find himself (if he hasn’t already)#hurting and missing just as he did when he lost madi#he will find he’s missing one last vital piece of his soul that holds him together.. one that stood right next to madi#of course flint was right OF COURSE he knew john better than anyone and even when he’s gone he still dictates silver’s future#silver’s life won’t be enough and he’ll dive right back into the past to search for meaning#because he won’t be able to stand it being for nothing#he won’t be able to stand flint’s memory being for nothing. he will never be at peace knowing flint is buried and gone#so he’ll go on one last foolish adventure to reunite with the ghosts of his past and maybe this time he’ll win

the top left is literally the same conversation James and Miranda had when he was convincing her to go to Nassau instead of the continent when they fled London. #sometimes i feel terrible that bittersweetness of this ending is giving me all the life in the world#but it really is#I CANNOT#James Flint your fucking face is amazing#i have whole essays in my heart about the way that Flint loves people#with the whole of himself#and i’m genuinely not sure if he draws much of a distinction between friend and lover#at least in the ways that he will burn down the whole world for those people#probably this is why he doesn’t let himself do it very often#so really#other than the poor impulse control and murderous tendencies#he really does fit in the same general category of My Guy#james flint: death metal remix of an honorable stoic#john silver: trickster upholding the status quo#who fucking knew

I see her as a survivor. In many ways, she does exactly what all other characters on the show do. And quite often she does things that – if she were male – she would be lauded for. So, for me, it’s so refreshing to play a female character that does not have to be likeable. Why does she need to be likeable? Nobody else on this show does! She has to survive. And so she does the things that ensure her survival. That’s it.

“[Flint and Silver’s] was a complicated relationship with a lot going on under the surface. Starz gave us the freedom to allow some of these relationships to exist without specific labels and to embrace that people don’t always say what they’re feeling and exist in the space that people don’t even know about themselves.” [x]

I think Flint knew, but Silver? No way. He barely knew that he loved Madi and she was a beautiful, brilliant princess, there’s no way he knew he loved Flint. You can explain it as internalized homophobia, trauma related to male figures in his past, or simply not wanting to process that he loved this terrible hurricane of a man known as Flint…but he did love him.

Cheekbones Flint. Biro sketch… I used to draw in biro all the time in my Daler layout pad. I’ve not found an equivalent sketchbook here, this canson one is a bit soft but ok. Back from my travels, turned out the weather was so good we out all the time. Did little drawing, took lots of photos.
