“Hey. Those men out there hear the two of you arguing, and they might just lose whatever faith they’ve got left that we have any idea what we’re doing in here.”
“I will challenge you with the men and resist this plan.”

John Silver in every episode:
XXV.
I perceived its effects on you.
What I assumed was sorrow, loneliness.
And worst of all terror at the thing you were becoming.
There is an element of this journey into the dark that…
I’m only now beginning to appreciate. How good it feels.

flint: ……bitch the fuck
John Silver in every episode:
XX.
The men, I understand.
Flint had them exactly where he needed them…
Angry, resentful, afraid.
I understand why they would rather do battle with that storm
than even consider surrendering to Hornigold.
But he had me there too. He had me there.
And that is not supposed to happen.
The man whose mind I had come to know so well, whose mind I’d in some ways incorporated into my own.

#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… wowimaginedmelody:
#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-eyesrafyki:
#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
