BLACK SAILS ♦ VI.

You know, when I first met you, I pegged you for an easy mark. But now, between you and Flint, I’m not certain who I should be more afraid of. I saw you earlier. After you lifted the ban. You were angry. Not just about Max. Those men out there, they made you admit you were wrong. They made you feel weak.

BLACK SAILS ✦ S3E9 “XXV”

– You were right about the toll it took, playing this part… So I know what you’re feeling in this moment.
– I percieved its effects on you. what I assumed was sorrow and loneliness, and worst of all, terror at the thing you were becoming.

felixcarlucci:

Look at him: his mind is drowning in questions. “Did I make the right decision?” “How am I going to explain to my proprietors that I gave up their goods without a fight?” “What kind of man am I?” You hope he has answers to those questions. You hope that he can reassure himself that he made the right decision. You hope that he doesn’t realize that the thing that he thought he was surrendering to, the thing that drove fear into his heart the moment he saw the black, that that thing is nowhere to be found.

You thought Flint killed both me and Gates, and then you queued up to be next to fill the post? I don’t know if you’re either very dangerous, or very stupid. Possibly a bit of both.

His resentment of the captain runs very, very deep, and he’s convinced Flint lied about Singleton. When I told him I was of a like mind, he happily opened up.

Black Sails quotes + rage

You are right. Many men have played a role in Nassau’s story, but none have been able to break the cycle of brutality and failure. Your granddaughter came as close as anyone before or since. But at the end of the day and despite her best intentions, there was one truth even she was unable to see. That at some point, progress cannot begin…and suffering will not end… until someone has the courage to go out into the woods and drown the damned cat.
