Black Sails x Oceans Brawl by Cœur de Pirate
Part 1/3 (follows part 2 and 3)
Books are a key point of the storytelling in the first two seasons of Black Sails. They help to reveal various aspects of characters and their relationships. Being the nerd that I am, I decided to create a reading list based on Captain James Flint’s key books.
Not only did I bother to compile this short list, but I’m actually reading the books in the list.
The list in sort of the order that they are introduced to the viewer.

My translation of Chapter 1 of Mo Dao Zu Shi's Japanese manga, which released yesterday (the 17th of August 2024)
Also loaded to the internet archive as a pdf (pretty big file size though)
You can support the official Japanese release and buy the Japanese manga at cmoa.jp
it's pretty inexpensive, only around $2 per chapter!
Chapter - Chapter 2 - Chapter 3 - Chapter 4
Mangadex link
Pre-sfx version is still available at the archive.org website
Edit: I originally wasn't going to make any further edits but felt bad that someone could come across my initial rough translation and miss some details or nuance because of it. Made some changes, a changelog detailing everything and why is here. (I think) this is the final version
"Just because I will always love you"
Sorry, the Elephant love medley (from Moulim Rouge) always comes to my mind each time I "hear" one of the song inside it. I had to continue it lol
Anyway, this song is just perfect for SQ!😍
(x) ‘Cause we’re lovers, and that is a fact Yes we’re lovers, and that is that Though nothing, will keep us together We could steal time, just for one day We can be heroes, for ever and ever What d’you say?
-gifs aren’t mine.-
My captain🖤☠ (and king).
Perfect description.
I'd forgotten how exceptional the first episode of Black Sails and the introduction of Captain Flint are. In one (1) episode they point to this soggy, angry little man and go: this is the most dangerous pirate of the seven seas. he wouldn't even win a swordfight. he beat someone to death with his bare fists and is ready to do it again. he probably cries himself to sleep at night. he's the most collected, composed man you've ever seen. he throws furniture around in a fit when he's angry. he talks about the importance of trust and honesty. he doesn't believe any of it. he can completely change someone's mind when he talks to them. the people closest to him know not to trust a single word that comes out of his mouth. he's in control of the narrative. he's trapped in a web of lies of his own making. he's made himself into a legend. everything he's built is just one second away from falling apart. he inspired a whole nation. he's the number one public enemy. he's a hero. he's a monster. he's just one man. he's starting a war against the whole world.
Happy Thomas Hamilton Resurrection Day!

anne bonny scene of all time. woman of all time

Flint and Anne deserved more time on screen together. They are pretty incompatible I fear, but nonetheless...two great warriors!
Pride of the lgbtq+ community😍
What I said here is still true because that's really their only conversation (Anne doesn't talk here, only Jack and Flint) but I can't believe I never noticed Flint's look in her direction when Jack says that, it flew over my head every time I've rewatched this show ???????? And it's been a few ??????????
He HAS TO know Jack is talking about Max, he is enumerating every loss they have suffered because of the cash: for Jack, it's Vane; for Flint, it's Gates... and for Anne, it's Max. Flint has to know about the close relationship between Max, Anne and Jack but I think he is now realizing how close the women truly are.

Miranda Barlow's aesthetic.
I love so much this character and her story and I think she would have liked very much Madame Bovary if she had the chance to read it.
(We all know what was written in that burning letter, don't we? I think it was important to include that too about her)
three of swords (heartbreak, sorrow, grief)
plus the lines because i still prefer the clean look of it
