You know that adage about don't pay attention to what a man says, and instead note what actions he takes? Behold James Flint in the moment of crisis.

He's being fired on but see where he looks first and foremost.

Then he says this, but then chooses to do this death gymnastics move in order to take cover in a very specific spot:

#silverflint #at least from flint to silver #i don't get it but it is undeniable #black sails #storkmuffin liveblog #james flint

Mr. DeGroot is molting from stress in real time over here, trying to do his job, and the Smugsy Twins are up top being cute with each other.

Silverflint, obnoxiously gossiping about Mr. DeGroot's state of mind, which they put him in, while he's looking right at them. Unforgivable mean girl behavior.

These bitches, exchanging significant glances as James uses the word "we" and "us" with abandon now that their ... thing is (temprorarily) safe enough for him to do so.

They even have a snippy little spat about the plan while it's underway!

Mr. DeGroot would be fully justified in knocking their heads together like coconuts.

Everyone reacts to his saying this like it's the most radical thing ever (I suppose because of the racism - since the 'he' that tied it wrong is a former kidnap victim from Africa) but this is actually a good principle for when you have junior and new members to a working group. I've said literally this - if they got it wrong, we've taught it wrong. James Flint is really, truly, like I can't say how much, a man of after my own heart.

There are four dykes embroiled in dyke drama in this photo. They need to just work it out in a polycule.

I love Anne Bonny because to her, this little rat bastard of a man who is such a compulsive friend-maker that he befriends actual rats in his prison cell (and gives them encouraging motivational speeches), is treasure beyond compare.

This is the best day of John Silver's life (well since he met James Flint anyway).

And by the same token, this is the worst thing that has ever happened to James Flint ever, like, ever, in his entire existence.

Bonus:

John Silver experiencing a whole body erection because he got asked his opinion by James Flint. (I want to bite his shoulders nom nom nom.)

Has. Has Tumblr and fandom exposure (I've only been here since 2020) and A03 authors melted my brain because - because -

John Silver makes a direct request for emotional intimacy to James Flint, asking to know his "demons" and to know where James Flint "actually began" which is momentous enough, and the next cut is:

A ROD GETS SHOVED INTO A HOLE as the subtitles say CANNONS FIRING.

Black Sails is a SHAMELESS HUSSY OF A SHOW.

Captain Flint is such a creation by James McGraw, truly. He's perfected him down to the last detail. How to get off a rowboat (land with both feet every time). The look. The walk. The slinging of the belt across the hip. Hot DAMN.

How you open the door in your own house when you expect (and hope?) your husband to be dick deep in his new acolyte. Or vice versa.

What you say when you expect that the dicking down between your husband and the acolyte will be hot as lava. Please also note, she is looking at James, James can't look at her, and Tommy's dick energy feels very big to him right now.

The amusement you feel when you see that the acolyte still hasn't made a move in all this time.

Looking at John Silver

Looking at anyone else.

Looking at John Silver again.

THIS BITCH WOODES ROGERS REALLY KNOWS HOW TO PLAY THE GAME. Wow. You can't just SAY the words Lord. Thomas. Hamilton. like that they're nothing to James McGraw/Flint! And just look at the phrasing of this - "I understand that you knew him."

The way they end episodes (2.04) on this FUCKING SHOW is goddamn SATANIC. Just ABSOLUTE demons.

After ALL OF THAT - Thomas going on about rehabbing the pirates of Nassau, his not-daughter Eleanor Guthrie asking to mediate, the philosopher king Mr. Scott's speech about accepting change, AND John Silver telling him he's gonna be the villain - Daddy Flint is STILL going to do this. (And the wonder of it is, I wouldn't change a single little red hair in his trim little beard.)

The words are so dry but the agony is so raw in his face as James Flint calmly recounts the two world-and-soul ending things that have happened to him at the hands of England. The way the grief of it keeps threatening to burst out of him is heartbreaking. He does terrifyingly cold things while in possession of a very boiling-hot heart.

I feel about Anne Bonny more or less exactly what Jack Rackham does. Namely - she's just the best girl that ever lived. I love her so much. She makes me happy. She makes me proud. I'm lucky I met her.

There's a Korean idiom (양호유환, in Chinese characters: 養 虎 遺 患) that says if you raise a tiger cub you'll be left with worries. In other words - be very careful who you choose to raise/mentor/teach because what you think will be a kitten that can grow to be a good mouser may in fact have a final destination as a man-eating tiger. (Koreans got eaten by tigers a lot btw.)

I am trying SO HARD not to be horny on main watching this show but the dialogue completely utterly defeats me every three minutes. How's that penis hanging, Mr. Dick?
