BLACK SAILS XXVIII
As long as you feel the same.
Modern au Jack has a pink baseball cap that says "Daddy" that Featherstone got him as a joke and he won't stop wearing it. Vane thinks it's hilarious, Anne and Idelle hate it (one of the only things they agree on). Max burns it while he's in the shower and he doesn't speak to her for a week
this is his brunch outfit
said Jack to the Governor
My father was a tailor of repute
Commendable in form, beyond reproach
Fine gentlemen paid fortunes for a suit
And came from all around in horse and coach
My father sank to squalor from renown
He borrowed all from any who would lend
Destroyed himself in every pub in town
The name of Rackham reeked from end to end
My father bore the burden of the blame
He’d rant and rave with eyes gone red with tears
While I beside him sat, consumed by shame
The insults came, the laughter and the jeers
My father died. I lived with his regrets
Then smiling men arrived collecting debtsI couldn’t hope to pay the promised sums
The business died for want of calico
Merchantmen who’d never worked for crumbs
Had set up tariffs, fees, an embargo
The debt collectors wouldn’t call a truce
To debtor’s prison they’d have me sent off
They thought that I’d be put to better use
In make and manufacturing of cloth
If no Anne, no rescue, no recourse
But to embrace whatever fate may send
Then know this, let it kill you with remorse
That you and I kept pace until the end
And if I die, I die, yet this is true-
Oh god, the ground I made up to catch you

Jack Rackham in 4.03: XXXI
literally just a meme for @starbuck enjoy
Jack: You can stand under my umbrella parasol - for now.
Flint: What the fuck are you doing here?
Jack: I was going to ask you the same thing.
Captain Flint and Jack Rackham meet at the beach but neither one can see the other in the blinding light. After several minutes of futile Marco - Polo chase (here: Urca! - Goo-old!) someone from Jack’s crew fetches an umbrella. Frustrated Eleanor, Madi and Jack’s gleeful company can finally stop shouting directions to stumbling captains and find out what the fuck is going on.
Everyone squints so much in this show that I wondered how they were able to see anything at times… plus Toby Schmitz has a great behind the scenes pic on his twitter from the season 4 set (with an umbrella) so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Caption: drawing of Jack and Flint conversing on the beach (like in s04e06), this time with an added bring pink umbrella.]
