What decisions have you made about what our tomorrows will be?

I made arrangements to ensure that when we leave here, it is with compromises in place that would defuse any threat of widespread rebellion.

All this will be for nothing.

Silver: speaks
Flint: 😒😒😒

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.]

Do you really think it’s wise to get pissed in full view of any of your men that may stumble in here just before they’re about to embark on the most dangerous journey of their lives? Wise? Probably not.

Black Sails (various) | Will you tell me?

“Great men aren’t made great by politics, Lieutenant McGraw. They aren’t made great by prudence or propriety. They are, every last one of them, made great by one thing and one thing only… the relentless pursuit of a better world. The great men don’t give up that pursuit. They don’t know how. And that is what makes them invincible.”

[Caption: set alternating gifs of Miranda saying the quote above to James in the flashbacks, with ones of Flint in the present day during the same episode (watching the Spaniards on the beach with a spyglass; tied to a chair prepared to meet his death with a challenging look to the man pointing him with a gun; with his face covered in blood seeing how the crew arrives to the ship; and silent next to Silver while he monologues about what he’s guessed about Flint’s intentions.]
