#THE FACT THAT HE DID TELL#LIKE#i don’t think flint has ever#said the name Thomas Hamilton out loud to anyone since that ended#not in the context of actually you know. opening up about him#nobody but Miranda obviously but that was different she was there. she knew.#the fact that silver asked surprised me#but the fact that flint then sat down and told him?#a tale of which we only get to hear the very end#a tale which seeemed to have been long and honest and very very personal#i mean god everything else aside he basically came out to Silver too in the process?#something which would have by no means been a risk-free thing to do all on its own#and an intensely personal thing to divulge – especially with the impact his love for Thomas had on. well. /everything/#Silver could’ve so easily just not /understood/#but he did#he listened and he did#but there was no way to be sure of that before daring the outcome#like wow what an… what an incredible act of /trust/ that was from Flint#I… wow

#do you ever get the sense that maybe no one asked flint before why he does what he does?#it’s not likely he’d tell them if they did#(unless they were as close to him as silver is of course)#but everyone’s always either bought into the monster image enough to assume#that he just does this because it’s in his nature#or has questioned his authority but not the driving force behind his decisions#(except to accuse him of that force being malice/selfishness)#john is one of the first people to recognize that there’s something deeper underneath#and to ask about the ghosts that haunt flint#i imagine that’s precious to someone who has been held so far apart#that people assume his demons ARE him#black sails#grumpy captain and quartermaster puppy-dog-eyes

#okay but this scene *screams*#the way silver says will you tell me?#like he is not sure flint will actually tell him#he probably doesn even expect james to completely open up with him#its so unlike him to speak that way#and look at flint#its like he was expecting that question#and he doesnt really want to answer bc ofc he never talked about thomas with anyone except miranda#he never told his story to anyone#but its like he needs to and if theres someone who he could tell it thats silver#and i think james actually wants silver to know#he wants silver to really know him#to know all of him bc right now john is the only person that can understand him#the only person he can be himself with
