«You? Who are you that I ought to pay you any mind?» ~ XXX. 🏴☠️~
XXX. I’m no one, from nowhere, belonging to nothing. I’m a wretch like you. Yet mountains of gold have changed hands because I chose it. Thousands of men in Nassau are living in fear of my return because I decreed it. Hundreds of dead redcoats in a forest not far from here because I made it so. I am the reason grown men lie awake at night. I’m a new beginning for Nassau.
the craziest part of black sails is silvers hair growth over what is supposed to be less than two years. it's also twice what we see because of the curls. nearly a foot of hair growth. whilst being deficient in every mineral and vitamin. what's his fucking secret.
New reel from Luke Arnold, and his reply to his friend on instagram, captioned:
Gotta love someone who writes the names of the tracks on the CD so even when it’s all scratched up and you don’t own a CD player anyway, you can still find them all on Spotify. Thanks for the tunes @kestiemorassi 🥰
Bit late to post but this was a delight and honour! What a genuinely lovely and funny, talented man
NATIONAL HOLIDAY
[ID: Two screencaps from Black Sails ep X showing John SIlver standing alone beneath a skylight in the ship's galley. Captions show him saying "An account of goings-on, volume the first on this 13th day in June". End ID]
Luke Arnold quoted tweet from his co-star of Black Sails, sharing his disappointment for not able to be there for Luke's book signing at Forbidden Planet due filming in another place.
Hope they will catch up each other soon!
Ominous Black Sails Musical Parallels | XII. XVI. XXVII.
I spent a year rewatching Black Sails and tracking all the bits of music that repeated at any point during the show, and my findings are reinforcing that Bear McCreary is a genius and this show should have been called 'parallels that will kill you over and over again'*
Recently decided to slowly start re-investing in physical media for my most beloved stories. Up first: Black Sails! Comes with map and flag.
It’s not Pirates of the Caribbean or that old Errol Flynn stuff we’d seen before… we’re almost - and this is a bit of a risk - undoing a bit of the fantasy about pirates.
TOBY ISNT EVEN MAKING A JOKE OR SAYING ANYTHING REMOTELY FUNNY AND LUKE IS JSUT HEART EYES MOTHERFUCKER
Luke Arnold shared new instastory today, thanking to all fans attending for the signing event at Forbidden Planet today!
Bonus:
ALL THE FETCH PHILLIPS BOOKS! Such a fun signing at Forbidden Planet with @longlukearnold

“ He starts in a place of having lost Thomas Hamilton, who was very meaningful to him, and then having lost Miranda in such an awful way that he feels alone. Part of the journey […] is finding a new person that he feels he can be vulnerable with and understood by […] [We liked] him finding John Silver and having that become the person with whom he’s able to emerge from this awful experience he’s having.” — Creators/Executive Producers Robert Levine & Jonathan E.
