#Ned Lowe was so fucking scary #and I don’t exactly like vane but it was really satisfying to watch him not be afraid at all #and fuck his whole world up with piratical swagger #gifs #Charles vane #Ned Lowe

going crazy about hozier and pirates again, y'all. but this one was just so immediately flinthamiltons to me, and then finding out more about the inspiration and context behind Francesca - both from Dante's Inferno and the actual historical people - just. gggggggghhhhhh the feeeeelings and the themes and. i want this song injected into my veins. but for now i'll just try to drag some of you into my pain :))

And thank you friends who watched the earlier drafts of this and helped me figure out how to make it better! ❤️❤️

Also can I just say what gets me about Black Sails is the fact that each character is connected to multiple other characters in nuanced, layered ways, and those characters are connected to others and it's this entire intricate web of themes and parallels and oppositions and it just works

black sails fancast – trevante rhodes as the charles vane we deserved

I know too well the pain of the yoke on my shoulders. I know the freedom of having cast it off. So I am resolved: I will be no slave again. And as I am free, I hereby claim the same for Nassau. She is free today, and so long as I draw breath, she shall remain free.

a place where nothing grows

jonathan e. steinberg & robert levine, black sails / warsan shire, “home” / mikko harvey, "fly flying into a mirror", in let the world have you / richard siken, "landscape with fruit rot and millipede" / c.p. cavafy, trans. edmund keeley, "the city" / pablo neruda, “cordilleras”

[id:]

10 screencaps from black sails with accompanying text, in order:

1— screencap from s01e02, max telling eleanor: "eleanor, this place is just sand. it cannot love you back. you know this. you must know this."

2— screencap from s01e02, max leaving the brother wrapped in a shawl. poem over the image reads:

no one leaves home unless / home is the mouth of a shark / you only run for the border / when you see the whole city running as well // (...) // you only leave home / when home won’t let you stay — w. shire

3— screencap from s01e07, miranda tells flint: "because there is no life here! there is no joy here, there is no love here."

4— screencap from s02e05, miranda rides a cart, a woman walks up the road with a dead child in arms. poem over image reads: "

are there some places / where love simply / doesn’t grow as fast / as it decays? — m. harvey

5— screencap from s04e02, anne tells jack: "that fucking island. makes you do shit you don't wanna do. how is it we haven't figured that out by now?"

6— screencap from s04e02, wide shot of the wrecks at dawn. poem overlaids reads:

It wants our bodies, / the landscape does, and everyone runs / the risk of being swallowed up. — r. siken

7— screencap from s04e04, eleanor tells max: "i had put so much of myself into this place, in that moment, i honestly didn't know where i ended and it began."

8— screencap from s04e03, berringer's hand hang limply, holding a personal token as he bleeds out. poem overlaid reads:

You won’t find a new country, won’t find another shore. / This city will always pursue you. / You’ll walk the same streets, grow old / in the same neighborhoods, turn gray in these same houses. / You’ll always end up in this city. Don’t hope for things elsewhere: / there’s no ship for you, there’s no road. / Now that you’ve wasted your life here, in this small corner, / you’ve destroyed it everywhere in the world. — c.p. cavafy

9— screencap from s04e04, eleanor tells mrs. hudson: "amazing, this place. somehow leaves no options other than to hurt the ones you love."

10— screencap from s04e06, flint holds a dying eleanor in his arms. poem overlaid reads:

…what you see are not shattered streets, / but rather, within you, your own crushed walls, / your frustrated infinity, again the city comes / crashing down: in your silence, only water’s threat / is heard, and in the water / drowned horses gallop through your death. — p. neruda

a woman who spoke the way she did, who had no fear of the world or the men who reigned over it. when i became her lover, i watched the decisions she made, and resolved to learn from them. when i became her rival, i watched the mistakes she made and resolved never to repeat them. but at the end, when i felt i had surpassed her in every way, it seemed as though there was something she was still trying to say to me.

black sails / jennifer s. cheng & gabrielle bates / @deadwateredred / cheng & bates / ingeborg bachmann / chen chen / charles bukowski / c.s. lewis / kaveh akbar / buddy wakefield / ocean vuong / safia elhillo / kemi alabi / victoria chang
