John Silver - Blog Posts

flint (a prisoner of hierarchy and also its source) and silver (lives beyond hierarchy to avoid anything that ties him to a certain social circle) are so painfully equal and so not used to it that they try to destroy that but they'll never be able to

so i went from black sails brainrot to further watching house md bc i found out where i stopped last time and. and there it is again. you sound exactly like him? more like you're sleeping with me

guys i know. i know wikipedia is not to be trusted. but what if billy took the long john silver joke (which it was already because luke arnold is like 175 cm tall) a little further. What If

I recently watched the first one and it’s sooo good! Still sad that they didn’t make another movie!

I really enjoy drawing this~🪐✨ Drawing Silver was really interesting and I definitely want to do it again.~ 🪐✨🖤

This is my first meme

I'm not good at it, but I liked to made this meme

sneak peek of some young silver art

John Silver? John Silver 😌💜

ahhhhh

so I was looking for references or ideas on how to draw Jim as in adult in uniform and- guys theirs no way NO WAY HE’D EVER GROW A GOATEE I REFUSE TO BELIVE THAT. (I also refuse to accept that he'd look like this when he's older)

mom come pick me up I'm scared.

ohhh look at what I found 

(bottom drawing) not sure if this is actual concept art but cred to artist (id like it better without the goatee tho) pretty cool tho. ahhh I've been struggling for days on how I want to draw him so u guys could have a proper image on how I imagine him looking older .ill figure it out later and ill post the ocs some time soon. im not a big fan of the rat tail but im able to live with a pony tail or braid(im loving the braid-OMG WHAT IF HE GREW OUT HIS HAIR TO BE WAIST LENGTH FOR A WHILE AND DID A MESSY PONY TAIL ). (the rat tail was cute while it lasted but I feel like when hes older hes gonna look back and cringe)

guy's I'm taking request don't be shy .

I find it absolutely disgusting that I don't see enough angst and fluff written about Jim and silvers FATHER AND SON dynamic (STAY AWAY WEIRDOS I TRIED LOOKING FOR CUTE FICS AND IMAGINES AND ALL THAT CAME UP WAS THESE TO BEING SHIPPED IM NOT HAVING IT ) so ill take it upon myself to do some writing .some of the writing will take place on the legacy or just take place at the academy ill make sure to include stuff when he gets promoted as captain and does captain things(basically just him having near death experiences and risking his own life for others and giving the crew a heart attack) umm do I smell more of Jims character development being written cause ummm yesssss. ohhhhh I'm also taking request. absolutely no smut.

ill make sure to include Kate and make them have a like best friend's relationship (to be fair I don't really see them dating to me the thought seems kinda forced and awkward) oh I'ma make her admiral cause yeah she's that queen. like I can see them having a friendly rivalry during the academy days but I don't wanna write it with them straight up hating each other I'm low-key tired of that trope why not “oh hey ur cool but I bet I can do this better than you”and them getting into trouble and have them seek out their own goals also helping each other accomplish that. 

also Jims mom doesn't get as much recognition that she deserves so ill write about her too and ill make sure to include Doppler and amile also the children oh yeah and b.e.n. 

also I'm a have a specific time line or age so there's no confusion when things take place while I'm writing these shorts.

on the legacy hes 15 (pretty sure he actually was 15)

when he's learning at the academy he's probs 17 (jims15 when he attends the acsemdy but I can imagine him learning their would span up to 2 to 3 years) and after those 3 years when he's 17 he”ll have to gain more on deck experience so he can be granted the captain position. (not exactly sure how it would've worked in the movie but aye fanficition)

and when hes like a captain hes like in his 20s , idk if what age Kate would have been in the sequel but pretty sure it would've ben close its either one year  older or younger.

also it doesn't always have to be angst too or piraty things it could just be Jim doing normal teen things with Kate , like them going out for new outfits or something and possibly riding down an escalator on a mini boat they found at a store in the mall (im mean if they even have a mall or something )

I'm establishing Kate and Jim have an inside joke between them  where they both actual dated for a while to see if they really liked each other that way, but the break up was mutual cause they only saw each other as friends, and when people see them messing around  with each other like they'll go “ahhh you guys are such a cute couple” and then Jim and kate both look at each other with fake disgust and be like “ewww thats my ex” and like they'll pretend to be on  dates at resturants to get couples discounts.

im also gonna be writing about Jims dad Leland and how they both meet while Jims on leave , he gets deployed to the same place where his dad is . I really like the theory that his dad was in the navy too cause honestly it's the most realistic one out there.

most of the angst will involve Jim dealing with trauma and I might as well make up a space war and him spiraling cause hes captain and doubts himself. but alas Kate and silver are their to keep him in check. ohhh IM ALSO GONNA BE ADDING IN A FEW OF MY TREASURE PLANET OCS TO SPICE UP THE FRENDSHIP DYNAMIC CAUSE I NEEDA SPACE SQUAD. 

James is an English language given name that is a derivative of the name Jacob, most commonly used for males. Source: James (given name)

I WAS CORRECT ALL ALONG???? HE IS ACTUALLY JACOB FLINT???? Or Jacob McGraw.

Staci Silver and Jacob Flint

What do you mean Jacob and Staci are not a canon ship?

I have seen them (a little hot shit in his 20s and a grumpy ginger man in his 40s) in a ship, on a ship, sailing the said ship for 2 seasons straight and 2 seasons gay.

They are very much cannon.

ba dum tss

И Одноножка с Флинтом🥰

Ooh I really liked your latest Flint and Long John headcanon!😁

Could you do one of Flint and Long John with reader where either they or reader aren’t morning people and they’re trying to get them out of bed?

Have a nice day!

nawww I'm glad you liked it! :D 💖

Alright lets see what I had in store for this headcanon ;3

John Silver

🏴‍☠️ Silver is usually the morning person lol. He tends to like waking up early to get a morning start.

🏴‍☠️ You on the other hand weren't. Whenever he gets up you tend to go to his spot for warm and scent. While curl up in a blanket.

🏴‍☠️ Usually he lets you sleeps in since he understands you need some beauty sleep.

🏴‍☠️But when he wants to wake you up oooh boy he has his own ways of making it happen. ;3

🏴‍☠️Before he use his secret weapon, he'll give a sweet morning kiss and use his large good hand to gently caress your face, while whisper quietly its time wake up.

🏴‍☠️ but if that didn't work. Time for his secret weapon. >;) Cooking your favorite breakfast will be a way to get you out of the bed without hesitate. How could you not resist on his delicious meals? He makes the best food! XD

Flint:

🏴‍☠️ While you are the morning person, your captain isn't. lol

🏴‍☠️ The reason is one he's has a terrible insomnia. Staying up late working or paranoid about his treasures being stolen. Most of the time you convinced him to sleep with you on nights.

🏴‍☠️Also he has a little secret that he enjoys cuddling. You find yourself waken up in mornings with him wrapping his arms around you, holding you close enough that you hear him breathing calmly.

🏴‍☠️ It'll take you a while to get yourself out of the bed. lol. He's like a cat that makes decisions if your free to go or not. 😆

🏴‍☠️Saying you need to use a restroom would do. And after that you let him sleep for a couple hours.

🏴‍☠️ You really didn't want him to be cranky towards the crew. So you let him wake up whenever on his own. But he insist on have you stay with him and wait until B.E.N bring breakfast with coffee or tea.

In any other show I'd be pretty mad about a character just blatantly explaining a visual metaphor but silvers' "james flint controls the weather based on how he feels about me personally" is like the funniest possible dialogue so it gets a pass

Part 1/3 (follows part 2 and 3)

Absolutely true. Because Flint and Madi were just two birds of a feather. They learned it slowly, through hard experiences I'd say, but they definitely understood it (and each other) by the end of it. How great the two of them would have been in leading that war together! And what greater evidence of this is the knowing look they share after Madi's rescue in ep.XXXVIII?

And the sadness Madi shows at the end, learning of Flint's departure, how true that was! Either she thought he was dead or not, the point is that she felt on her own skin the same desperation and defiance he must have felt seeing their war and all their effort going to waste, because she felt the same -if not worst. She felt that losing that, for him, would have been just like dying, as it was for her.

So yeah, that's why I'll never forget Silver for what he did. He loved her by cutting away her wings, he locked her in a cage just to protect her, and how can you do that to someone whose life is lived in the name of freedom? I can't accept that.

For how I see it, he never deserved her nor her trust.

Y'know, something that's very elucidative to me regarding John Silver's character, and in a way Flint's character, is that despite him not being the one in a romantic relationship with Madi (in fact I believe his dynamic with her is more of a brothers-in-arms, united for the same cause, that later transforms into something bordering on a mentor/pupil dynamic or even almost a father/daughter dynamic but not quite), Flint ended up understanding Madi as person FAR better than Silver ever did, or could.

So much so that Flint knows Madi would never allow anything to jeopardize the start of the war or its success: not her own life, not Silver's life, nor any promises of safety for her people and her people alone in her maroon encampment - nothing. And he's right! Madi herself confirms it to Woodes Rogers toward the end of S04. Silver might have fallen in love with Madi, but he never actually saw her. And if there ever was an instance when he did, I don't think it was voluntary and it only fed into his own selfish desire to protect her at all costs, not just to himself but to her, too.

Silver also knew she would stop at nothing for the revolution, he knew that even if she were to die, they would make a martyr of her and she would have been fine with that because even dead, she would have accomplished what was necessary, which was to make the war explode and the revolution set in motion. Where Silver failed but Flint did not, was that he was more scared of losing her than he was of losing the war. Which is very human for someone who is definitely not as idealistic as either Flint or Madi, but still selfish and in a way, cruel.

Flint and Madi understood each other completely and made this silent pact to do anything to make their plans go forward, always with the intent to keep each other safe whenever possible, but willing to let the other die if all other options had run out, and they would hold no grudges toward each other should it come to that and they happened to survive. And Silver... Silver didn't. He loved Madi with all his heart, but he never understood her. Not enough to respect her wishes, anyway.
