No. I did not kill Captain Flint. I unmade him. The man you know could never let go of his war. For if he were to exclude it from himself, he would not be able to understand himself. So I had to return him to an earlier state of being. One in which he could function without the war. Without the violence. Without us.
Okay, so this video is an alternate ending to Black Sails in silverflint style. In this Flint doesn’t go to the plantation, he goes back to the maroon camp after skeleton island with Silver and Silver talks with him instead of Madi (I love Madi to death just fyi but it’s all I can manage with the limited footage so don’t hate me)
I was born in Whitechapel, never knew my mother.
I had a wholly unremarkable youth. Spent most of it at a home for – Home for boys.
I know, I know.
You, uh you told me once or twice of your experiences there. Except it isn’t true.
Is it? Why would you say that? I remember when you first told me, it sounded like an invention.
About one story that bled into others I’d heard told elsewhere to the crew.
I didn’t think much of it at the time.
I suppose I assumed that if you ever became somebody worth knowing, I’d learn the truth of it eventually.
Only in this moment, I’m realizing that never happened.
And what is of some concern to me is that despite how invested we each are in the future of the otheryou just told me that story again.
oh my god I haven’t watched this episode yet
and am thinking about a story where Silver’s past has a function (of course I’ll wait until I have finished watching Season 4 before writing it)

“…years ago I recognized my kinship with all living beings, and I made up my mind then that I was not one bit better than the meanest on earth. I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; and while there is a criminal element, I am of it; and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.”
