#the disservice done to mr scott and max and the maroon queen and joshua and kofi and eme and julius and every character of color....

whyyy does everyone love thomas so much. in a lot of fics theres a flint moment where hes like "omg thomas would have loved madi :)" WOULD HE??? or would he think of her as a particularly well spoken, well read servant. thomas's plan was explicitly meant to establish a british colony on nassau to continue effective imperialization of the americas, and the systematic theft of land and extermination of people. flint supported this as james. flint Happens to side with the maroons - but had they not held flint's life in his hands and forced him to acknowledge them, he would have continued his barrage on the english without considering the slave communities. in his escape from charlestown flint breaks the lock on a cage full of enslaved people - they are meant as a distraction, because flint does not care to actually ensure their freedom. they are bodies between him and a gun, and at that point that's all they matter to him

#black sails REALLY could have done a better job w making flint acknowledge his part in slavery - he sold slaves its stated onscreen #like obviously i love this show so much (give it up for month 4 of this SpIn) but like damn #the disservice done to mr scott and max and the maroon queen and joshua and kofi and eme and julius and every character of color.... #read a fic that demonized julius and IMMEDIATELY clicked out like i was pissed. #idk. working on a fic of flint working on himself wrt to madi rn and cracking his golden memory of thomas - he realizes how narrow minded #they were and wants to rectify that - realizes he cant put it on madi to make him a better person or forgive him etc etc #also mr scott.... im working on a fic abt his relationship to eleanor vs madi also #<- me listing fics that will NEVER see the light of day lmao #canis speaks #canis watches black sails
