Bats illuminated by lightning

one thing I have loved about black sails since I first watched it is the fact that it doesn’t villainise anger. it doesn’t tell you that, without this devouring anger, a character would be thriving. It shows us anger being destructive, often through Anne, it shows us anger being infectious, like a fire that catches and cannot be put out, but most importantly it shows us anger as integral. It is at the centre of the struggle against empire, it is at the centre of Flint. He is not angry in spite of all his morality, he is angry because of it. He is angry because how else is he supposed to feel in the face of absolute injustice??

The show rejects the notion of anger as inherently immoral. I saw someone say that it shows us anger as the extension of love, rather than the antithesis of it. I think this is spot on. It shows us anger as born from the ashes of loss, and stoked in opposition to the forces that caused it. go anger!!!

Flint is angry because anger is the only emotion powerful enough to pull him up from his knees time and time again, and give him the tools to fight for what he believes in.

Happy Ace Week!!! 🖤🤍💜
