instead I got the beast

Been wanting to edit this song for literal years, and especially when #blacksails was airing. I'm so very glad I finally managed to.
The original idea was for a silverflint edit, but this is fundamentally an Eleanor song. I was so very conflicted, so in the end I did a little bit of everything.
Dunno if this edit makes sense. It makes a lot of sense in my head .... something something about fighting against the powers that be for a better life, for a scrap of humanity and comfort and domesticity, and ending up summoning some unspeakable evil from deep within yourself and unintentionally unleashing it onto everyone and everything you love.
I've always loved the way show conceptualizes this very evil, this rage, as some type of tangible misshapen bundle of darkness that every character has to deal with, be it that they control it or let it control them.
I chose Silver on the thumbnail but honestly ...who or what is the ultimate beast in this narrative remains open-ended and I will always appreciate that.

This is great, I really like what you wanted to portray and I can definitely see it in the edit. Personally, on a first casual watch without reading the description I thought it described very well how the foundation of both civilization and rebellion is violence, and it's a constant loop of darkness and chaos in order to achieve that idealized peace and light and some sort of order. The ends justifying the means (or providing an excuse for the means), even unconsciously, and all that. Your description adds so much more though.

you edit this show so masterfully, getting to the heart of it, capturing everything that matters. this is so raw yet so subtle, all the scenes come together so well, portraying the mess that were the lives and minds of these perfectly imperfect characters.. i don’t understand how people can call certain black sails characters “problematic” because.. aren’t we all, in a way? that’s something the show is telling us. we create problems for each other and ourselves, on purpose or on accident, even while believing that we’re doing the right thing. and we deal with these problems while also creating something unwanted by others in the process. i love the hints of this “bundle of darkness” in the edit, the portrayal of sorrow, anger, inner conflict, the connection of domesticity and violence, and, of course, the love that was there, for better or for worse. and the part from 2:40 to 3:02 was a whole new emotional journey… *hats off*
