From the closet of Black Sails: Lt. James McGraw’s trousers, shirt and waistcoat.
“It hadn’t been a leg. When Flint’s brain caught up with his eyes, he remembered what he had seen that night on the Walrus. From his chest down, Silver’s skin had appeared to be covered in pale scales that glistened in the moonlight. He didn’t have legs but a tail, grossly distorted where a chunk of it and a fin were missing, exactly in the same place as Silver’s missing leg.” x
Awesome!

She took everything from me.
Every day I’ve worn that name I’ve hated him a little more. I’ve been ready to return him to the sea for a long time.
Stunning.
I moved away from those things. Inch by inch, I forgot it all. And now, in this cage, in the belly of this thing that has swallowed us whole… I wonder… if the civilization of Nassau isn’t exactly what I tried to achieve all those years ago. If resisting it doesn’t set me in opposition to everything I once understood to be good and right. To forgive. To make order of chaos. I wonder if the pardons are the victory and that the most enlightened thing that I can do is sit still. Accept what appears to be inevitable and let this be the end of Captain Flint.

Some things never change, eh?
#casually checking if the page you stole is still in your pocket while the entire crew is on deck because you are not 100% certain that the captain doesn’t have supernatural abilities that helped him get that page
This^ yup.
“I saw a theory once that the old man who leads Jack to skeleton island is the Mr Flint from James’ story about his grandfather, and honestly I’m just accepting that as canon because watching 4.09 with that in mind makes things EVEN MORE emotional. And, like, in that little speech he gives jack, he’s literally talking about “returning to the sea.” (via @pirateshelly)

Yet another thrilling episode of Pitte Gets Into Something Three Years Late.
Back Sails S04E10:the confrontation
There’s always doubt, Billy. No sane man would deny that. No good captain would acknowledge it. Take our present route, for instance. We tacked north by northeast, along Andromache’s best point of sail. If you’re Bryson, that’s the smart course. Well, he knows that I know that. So wouldn’t he have at least considered heading northwest to follow the coast, lose us in the dark? Or due east on the chance that we might sail right past him? There must be at least one chance in three that that horizon will remain bare and we’ll never see the Andromache again. That’s the truth. But what good would that knowledge do for any man on this crew trying to focus on doing his job?
James Flint Appreciation Week: Tuesday - Most Memorable/Favourite Quote
You must know this. You’re too smart not to know this. They paint the world full of shadows and then tell their children to stay close to the light. Their light. Their reasons, their judgments. Because in the darkness, there be dragons. But it isn’t true. We can prove that it isn’t true. In the dark, there is discovery, there is possibility, there is freedom.
Have you no memory of how we got here? What they took from us?
