I was so determined to upload some Flint x Gates today even though I have exactly zero time for art because I’m moving soon and there’s so much to do I’m slightly losing my shit! Yesterday and today were kinda horrible so I scribbled these happy drunks to cheer myself up (it worked!) Tried to ignore the fact that Flint uhhh murdered Hal for a moment and imagined some of the good times they undoubtedly shared. I also drew this with @flintrage in mind because he is definitely captaining the flintgates ship 😀 I’m posting today because I think I prefer them as platonic, but I also like to think they knew each other very well. They obviously shared a lot of history that I wish we knew more about. I like to think Gates got to see a lot more of the James E McGraw side of Flint than anybody else on the Walrus and that he knew about Thomas and it’s so jhgjadgjadg vile to me that Flint killed him despite all of this. BUT I wasn’t going to dwell on that. They got drunk together some time and laughed until they cried and maybe Flinty smooched him a bit idk who can say

Black Sails Rarepair appreciation week: free choice – James Flint & Hal Gates. 

Here, take a look.Captain’s log.It’s all there.Vazquez, Port Royal.Told you this was the ship. Where is the schedule? Minor obstacle. But we’re getting close. Let me see if I have this right. This is the fourth prize in a row from which the profits will barely exceed the expenses it took to win it.Singleton’s out there trying to convince your crew to torture that poor bastard of a captain simply ‘cause he hasn’t worked out how to get them to do it to you.But all is well because you’ve discovered that the information we can’t tell anybody we’re looking for exists on a page… that we don’t have. Don’t have yet. (x)

Black Sails Rarepair Appreciation Week
Day 4: Platonic Rarepair – Flint & Gates

How much has Mr Gates had to endure from Flint over all the years they spent sailing together? The rages, the secrets, the petty grudges, the rudeness, the stubbornness, the reckless plans… and Gates just followed along and made sure things ran as smoothly as possible. Not just for the crew. For Flint.

Because they’re also really good friends, or at least as good friends as Flint can achieve in his Nassau rage-state. If Flint told anyone anything, it was Gates he turned to. Gates stored his precious stuff in Flint’s house. Gates could make Flint laugh. They got drunk together. They probably had a ton of stupid adventures together.

And Gates probably spent a lot of time dragging Flint away from ill-advised confrontations, which is what inspired this pic. (he’s probably raging at Vane)
