Arrived at book 8/ the timekeeper; but these are moments I'd stopped by in the earlier books;;

1) I didn't think Captain Laura taking her daughter back with her -- forcefully -- and separating Arabella from her crew mates will happen too soon ?? Like I've always read some hints at it form other posts but I thought it'll be sth at the end of the kids' adventures like by the last book of the series or sth

2) said captain better have apologized properly to her kid, I am angry for Arabella tbh / don't really agree with her going along with her mother this quickly, even if Arabella got to see her mom in action while being forcefully held in the ship but that still doesn't excuse her mom of all the years she's left her kid to deal with adult shit on her own

3) Jack did well shutting Fitzy up with all " her mother gets the final say in wherever she stays blah blah blah" .. 😒

I'll talk about other things/books later but that's what I can remember for now lol

Click for better resolution!^^

i used to be so obsessed with these books in quarantine. I really wish they were written better

I love this little bonus of James and Jack's relationship: a chance to piss their "families" off 😉

Just imagine that somehow Jack and his people meet Lawrence Norrington, Edward Teague and Fitzy Dalton III again. Imagine that these three scumbags want another war or something something and Jack says "Yeah, you can kill each other, why not. But, you see, it's not my and my love's business anymore, so...".

Teague is like "Your what... LOVE?!". Jack is like "Oh, so you haven't heard! Pardon...", he shouts "Luuuuuuuv! Luv, come here, please!". And then here he comes: so handsome, so charming and so devastatingly piratey His Sarcasmness James Norrington 😎

Lawrence, Fitzy & Teague: *excuse me while I pick up my jaw from the floor*

Yeah, James Fabulous Norrington comes, puts his arm around Jack's shoulder, smiles lovingly. And when "finally notices" who is there with Jack, he smiles like a shark and says like everything is normal "Oh! Hello, father. Hello, cousin. And good day, Mr Teague... or should I say my future father-in-law?".

Norringtons-Daltons vs Teague. So many years. Such archenemies! And now THIS?! Their boys?! How is this even possible! They SHOULD FIGHT against each other, they WERE TAUGHT to hate each other, what the hell... what is that, fucking Romeo & Juliet in the Caribbean?!?! (let's add their queerphobia).

Oh, to see it! To see their faces! I'm wondering... would they be more pale or red? 😆

Nobody:

Jack when bossy manipulative older men:😍😍💞😘🥰😍♥️❣️💋💋♥️♥️♥️💞💞🥰

POV : When you have two traitorous crews but one of them stole your ship and lose it

From my fanfic 🫥

This took a while bc I got banned from generating more than one at a time and it took several tries each to get ones that are close enough.

I want them soooo bad tho 😭

I’ll draw actual designs eventually, I just wanted to get the idea across.

Also that program is hellbent on not generating ponytails no matter what I describe them as so go off I guess lol

I love ur blog sm!! 🖤🏴‍☠️

I’d love to see the scene from City of Gold when Jack and Fitzy pretend to be girls. It’s so funny! 🤣

I adorable that scene lmfao!!

Here's some doodles I made surrounding that scene

I know this so super late I just had so much stuff to do for my gcses (art gcses r gonna be the end of me 😭)

I've finally gotten around to reading the Jack Sparrow books and have just finished reading Dance of the Hours. Now I have a bad habit of spoiling things for myself, I knew Fitzwilliam was going to betray Jack. What I wasn't expecting was him being connected to the Navy or EITC. Honestly makes me wish the rest of the crew hadn't left.

Summary:

When I was nineteen, pirates attacked the ship I was working on. They gave us a choice: Join their crew or be sent adrift with those that didn’t. After picking the former, I soon found myself in Shipwreck City and in search of a new captain to follow. Instead, I found sixteen-year-old Jack Sparrow who, even back then, was followed by trouble everywhere he went.

There is one thing that bothers me with Armando Salazar “naming” Jack:

POTC wiki says that the novels in which Jack commanders the Barnacle and has adventures with Arabella Smith, Fitzwilliam P. Dalton III, Tumen, Jean Magliore and Constance Magliore happens around 1706. Which means it happens 2 years before Jack defeats El Matador Del Mar - Armando Salazar by making him sail into the Devil’s Triangle. The issue with that conclusion is that if we take those two at face value, it creates a continuity error with naming as Jack is already referred to as Jack Sparrow in the first novel, not only by himself in the interlude, but also by other characters, which if we took Salazar’s naming as canon, would mean that the characters must have met Jack after he was already a Pirate Lord... which makes no sense, because then Arabella would know he was a pirate, unless we assume that nobody knew who exactly defeated the Spanish Pirate Hunter, only knowing that he was defeated. Which then works with the whole Fitzwilliam shit going on in those novels, but is still kinda fishy when it comes to timeline, which I will describe below.

The issue being again that he is referred to as Sparrow not only by the narrator, but by himself and other characters multiple times when he was not yet named. Which means that if we want to treat the novels as canon, we cannot take the fact that Armando named Jack “the Sparrow” at face value, because it then fucks up the whole timeline of his life. I could at best assume that defeating Armando gave Jack’s new name value and power on top of making him a Pirate Lord of the Caribbean, but Armando could not have named him unless we assumed that novels happened after he became the Pirate Lord, in those brief 2 year gap between him defeating the Salazar and “having to abandon pirate life and start working for Beckett” which would make no sense if he was already a pirate at the time as in the novels Jack stresses a lot how much he hates pirates, and he doesn’t consider himself a pirate despite doing pirate things like looking for treasures and having adventures and fighting other pirates.

[Novels “The Coming Storm” (1) and “The Siren Song” (2) were published a month before the Dead’s Man Chest was released. “The Pirate Chase” (3) and “The Sword of Cortez” (4) as well as “The Age of Bronze” (5) were published just after the movie. Which means that Armando Salazar “naming Jack” was a retcon of the novels.]

Another issue is that it is stated somewhere that Jack ran away from home when he was 12, because he hated being a pirate (and because his grandmama was abusive and nearly killed him again) and that information also kind of suits the whole setting of the novels, so they could as well happen when he was just 12 if narration of the first novel specifically didn’t state that Jack, Arabella and Fitzwilliam were a few years older than Tumen and Jean, who were described as being at most 13 the oldest, which then makes the rest of them 15-18yo.

So, we can either have the fifth movie random lore gotcha with Armando naming Jack “the Sparrow” as canon, or we can have novels as canon, but we cannot have both, because novels were written so much longer before 5th movie and set in a moment in time so inconvenient that treating both as canon will inevitably confuse the whole timeline. I dunno how you, but I think it is easier to erase one random fact from a movie made pretty long after the novels, than rewrite the novels to have no usage of word “sparrow” in it.

Barnacle High sims sometime after the High School pack came out. I don’t play them because I get bored quickly when I play with existing characters or people and no progression in mind. So I started a decades challenge instead lol.

Ik I'm supposed to be reading book 12 but I ended up too busy + need motivation to get back to it but wtv I got all the other books to rant about

One of the things that stuck to my head in " The Time Keeper " was this part; I mean , Jack is irritated with every single thing most of the time and ppl not following the script he has in mind for them but like,,,,, Did he really have to go that hard at Fitzy in the last line?😭😭😭

I get he's angry with Fitzy in normal cases but come on he doesn't deserve that much of a whiplash* (??? DK what the proper word is ) for trying a method he falsely thought was gonna be helpful...

( Fitz doesn't deserve that much hatred yet anyway)

ESMERALDA SMOTHERED THE EYEROLL forming in her skull and pulled the knotted linen at her knuckles tight between her teeth. thankfully, the scrapes only stung: she'd gotten into fights with little lordly children with their father's wealth around their fingers that hurt a DAMNED SIGHT MORE than unpleasant fists. ( nevermind the throb of a sword's edge, or a lead BULLET in the skin ) she lamented the loss of part of her petticoat more, in truth. a GENTLEMAN would, perhaps, offer up his cravat instead –– to protect the lady's decency –– but Fitzwilliam Dalton was no gentleman.

once she was finished with her own care, and ONLY once satisfied that she'd staved off infection, did she turn to his little indisposition: a minor cut there above his brow, bleeding rather nastily when first acquired but now practically healed, revealing itself to be thin, and shallow, and overall of little consequence. but Mr. Dalton would never hear of such things when a hero's wound would put him at the center of attention and indulgence. Esmeralda dipped her rag in the solution of uncut rum again, wiping it over the scab mostly gentle ... but perhaps a little harsher than absolutely necessary. most women yearn after an earl's son that would gallantly rush to their protection. a dashing, imposing bull of a man. and yet here she was with THIS ONE.
