Potc headcanon:
If their in love with you 😍💘
Jack sparrow🍺
Jack sparrow, can you ever picture the choatic, scoundrel in love with anyone.
Jack sparrow is flirty with women, strumpets, nobles, ladies, you name it. But when he mey you that's when it was different.
Jack sparrow had never been in lover expect the closest thing being angelica (but we don't talk about that).
Jack was quite confident, boisterous in his knowledge of the sea.
You coming in the picture was a whole new chapter to Jack's life.
"The pearl," he thought. "Surely it must've been a bad drunken dream he had with you in it ey".
Jack was, conflicted, confused about you or rather, your being.
His feelings are not one to be taken lightly for, he loved the pearl, he loved the sea but a person. How can this be?
Jack would act rash and odd, like odder then his usual self (and you know how odd he is most of the time.)
He would avoid you and hide away from you. Acting like a highschooler with a huge crush.
For one minute, he would be speaking to someone, and the next he would run from seeing you.
You felt weirded out at first, Jack Sparrow, a confident and adventurous buccaneer, was acting like a coward in front of you.
During the night, Jack would be hiding from you until he calls Master Gibbs.
"Master Gibbs," he whispers.
"J-Jack, is tha' yer, whaddya doin' hiding in tha barrells," Gibbs questioned.
Jack peaked his cattish eyes to see if you were nearby, "gah" he pulled Gibbs into the Barrell with him.
"Jack, what's wron', is tha' kraken after us?" Gibbs asked.
"No, somethin' way worse mate," Jack leaned up once more to see if you were around.
"Then, wha' is it Jack" Gibbs questioned once more.
"Him/them/Her," Jack muttered
"Him?/them?/Her?" Gibbs questioned
"The girl/the boy/the person" Jack admitted.
"The girl?/the boy?/the person?--" Gibbs realised who Jack was speaking about.
"Oh, that girl/boy/person" Gibbs figured out.
"But jack, she/he/they ain't out ta get yer, are they? Gibbs asked.
Jack's upper lip curled into something of disgust. "No, not yet at least, but I've been having these -" Jack's hands jestures toward the word "Feelings."
"Oh~, I see wha' ye mean, I see tha' way ye look at her/him/them" Gibbs nudges Jack in a teasing manner.
"Shhh," Jack hushed Master Gibbs. "Well, why Dontcha go n' tell er', after all, ye do ave' a way wit tha lasses".
Jack turned to Gibbs, widening his eyes. "Wait, it be more than tha' Jack?".
"Ohhh, Jack a-are ye admittin', yer in love wit' her/him/them" Gibbs questioned.
Jack pushed himself out of the barrel. "It ain't good mate, I ain't exactly sure what to do" Jack softly spoke.
He cared for you yet he was conflicted. He loved the sea and the pearl more then anybody (aside from rum).
He couldn't begin to imagine being with anyone. Freedom and the lust of adventure were all he knew yet he would need time to figure out his feelings.
Gibbs would give Jack advice for being in love yet Jack would still continue to act stranger.
Jack would give subtle hints, though. He would protect you and act to save you.
Other then that, Jack is weirder when it comes to love rather then lust.
At least you weren't left on an island, although that was more because he couldn't trust Angelica.
Jack would be conflicted, but he would still protect you only the downside is he would try to take time figuring things out for you.
If he did confess, it would be "I love you mate, I always have and always will" leaning into kiss "as do I Jack, as, do, I" y/n speaks softly.
Hector barbossa 🍏
Barbossa, a screaming, strong and fearsome captain that no one dares triumphs.
Barbossa is a man who gives no quarter to those that cross him.
When you picture someone being handsome, you're probably thinking, Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, or James Norrington. Definitely not Barbossa though what if there was something too him.
Barbossa is complex. There's no doubt about that. He's a character that is portrayed in the strong setting not the romantic kind.
Hector being in love would be quite extraordinary, though albeit rare.
Barbossa would often catch himself staring at you from the helm, spying on you through his telescope or eyeglass.
His expressions would be softer; his face pouting instead of smiling over the adventurous horizon.
He would watch over you, from above or far.
He would (Childish as this sounds) dream of you, secretly imploring to show you the true meaning of serenity.
His manner wouldn't change, of course. He would put on this facade of ordering you around or challenging you to keep your mind afloat of any ideas.
He would take advice from Jack on how to woo you but ignore most of it.
Jack would flirt with you but end up bewildered you chose Barbossa over him.
He has hidden himself away or has been quite vague in your presence where as, unlike Jack would speak to you if necessary.
He would be quite protective yet passive toward your nature. He doesn't want to give any hints until he was prepared.
Barbossa mended the helm where Jack caught him staring at you, "staring off again, eh Hector, or rather, are you staring at her/him/them?".
"Keep yer business ter yerself sparrah" Barbossa growled, warning Jack.
"You know me, mate, that ain't happening," Jack teased.
"Don't mind me asking, but how can something as fetching as that end up with something as hideous as you?" Jack crossed the line.
Barbossa pulled his cutlass out from his holster, holding it over Jack. "Shut yer trap!" Barbossa demanded whispering.
"No, I don't think I will" Jack was getting on Barbossas nerves.
"I think there's something about her/him/them hm, seems like you're revoltingly intertwined with the poor thing," Jack smiled.
Barbossa clenched his teeth in a growling manner. "She/he/they won't be wantin' anytin' ta do wit me, fer er/is/their admirer is a swine."
Barbossa withdrew his sword and tended back to the helm, ignoring Jack.
Eventually, Barbossa got to know you more and more, he did confess his feelings.
If Barbossa confessed, he would be emotionally sincere, and with only two words, he admitted "yer treasure."
Will turner🌊
Will Turner was at first a blacksmith, and he often visited Elizabeth.
Will being in love is quite a passionate experience. He would bring the whole world to you.
Will would be around you. He would travel the ocean just to be with you.
Will would team up with Jack to save you from anything.
When the events of Davy Jones took place, he swore his heart to you.
No doubt Will Turner was a strong lad and devoted.
Will was looking out over the horizon, deep in thought.
"Is everything alright, Will?" Elizabeth leaned against the railing.
"Yeah, just, contemplating is all," Will stared off into the distance, looking at you.
"You like her/him/them, don't you?" Elizabeth softly muttered. She had feelings for Will, but it seemed his eyes were on you.
"Aye" will glanced at the broken hearted Elizabeth.
"Least you two have a lot in common," she tried to smile.
Will walked over toward you and held your hand. "Y/n, ever since we first met, I haven't stopped thinking about you, I love you."
The day will confessed was the day he promised to come ashore once every couple of years.
Will Turner was a legend with a heart he held only for you.
Elizabeth Swann 🦢
Elizabeth was the pirate king. She had finally been elected to phase through with the next plan of killing Cutler Beckett.
She was tough, and you knew that, once a woman who was fantasised pirates now a powerful king destined to sail the seas.
She protected you, cared for you, and loved you.
Elizabeth swore she would keep you alive until the aftermath as to which she would dream of living with you.
Will noticed, he approved but felt broken hearted that it wasn't him.
Jack was walking up to her. "So, you and y/n hm, didn't think you'd fancy her/him/them. Thought you fancied dear William."
Elizabeth looked at Jack and looked away. "I did once," she held a playful smirk on her face, "though, things change, you know it intrigues me, Jack, why you're so curious about who I fancy".
Jack gripped the bottle of rum, and he sipped the bitter liquid. "Hm, just wonderin' love".
"Did you place a bet on me with Master Gibbs?" Elizabeth asked.
"What me, nooo~" Jack wasn't able to pull off the facade. "So, mabey I did."
Elizabeth rolled her eyes "unbelievable". She focused her gaze onto you.
"You love her/him/them, don'tch you" Jack blurted out.
Elizabeth turned back to Jack. "Mabey I do," she confirmed.
Jack in his mind knew he would win the bet, that barrel of rum is his.
If she confessed, it would be during the fight with Davy Jones. "I love you, y/n!" She would scream in the rain.
Henry Turner 🔱
Henry was the son of Will Turner, a boy that wouldn't give up on trying to release his father's curse.
Henry would be quite inexperienced when it comes to love, the boys like a puppy.
He would interact with you and be by your side.
He would take interest in many of your things.
Henry would get advice from Jack that would make Carina roll her eyes.
"Henry, are you with it" Carina waved her hand in front of Henry's eyes.
"Huh, yeah, uh I think so" Henry smiled innocently.
"Good, if we sail east, we should be able to find the trident," Carina showed henry the diary of Galileo. The Ruby showed a map that Carina had been using.
Henry had been averting his eyes to behind Carina once more seeing you.
"Henry, what's with you?" Carina asked.
"Are you staring at another girl/boy/person?" Carina grew annoyed."For heavens sake, Henry, we must concentrate if we ever wish to free your father".
Henry nodded, getting his mind back into the main goal.
Henry couldn't help himself by being around you though Carina got annoyed with Henry's gushing.
When he confessed, it was after he freed his father. "Y/n, I love you, you've been there when I needed it and I thank you for that" Henry would then lean in to kiss you.
Davy Jones 🐙
Davy had only ever gave his heart to only one person, a goddess of the sea.
He's cold, cruel and had his heart hardened.
Davy would in love again would be a rarity, he couldn't feel for anyone else.
It was break his grief, he would be able to move on and regain humanity.
It would be possible he may just be able to turn human.
Davy had finally admitted his conflicted feelings for you, seeing calypso before the final battle.
Tia Dalma appeared behind Davy. "You know what fate has woven you back".
"I dah naught need ta' see you" Davy said in anger.
"Your heart still beats, a life spared by your own choosing," Tia stood her ground.
"Ah spar nah one" Davy said in a short fuse.
"A heart that beats but not for my own," Tia admitted.
"You've spared a life, a life not given to cruelty." she caressed his cheek "a woman/a man/a person".
"AH DONT SPAR LIVES-AH!" Davy shouted, slamming his claw hand against the wall next to Tia.
"You broke my love," Davy muttered before calming down.
Tia whispered before Davy left, "Your heart belongs to me but it beats for her"/him/them.
Davy would take time, he would confess during the last maelstrom battle. He would see you wounded and that's when his rage was let out.
"Y/n," he would mutter before roaring and slaughtering the men.
"My heart belongs to you."
Cutler Beckett 🍵
Beckett is cold-hearted, he is ambitious and an intelligent man.
He wouldn't usually show how soft of a man he would be, but that changed.
Beckett would at first try to manipulate you, for you to give up sparrow.
He would hire you on occasions to spend nights with him as a strumpet.
He would keep these occasions on the down low in private.
He would use you, but he also holds affection for you, attraction.
So when the time came, he had to choose you or the company.
"We got him, sir, we got him, Captain Jack Sparrow" The navy officer said.
Jack was trapped in chains between his hands and feet.
Beckett gave a wry smile of amusement "well, if it isn't captain Jack Sparrow".
Jack glanced up to see the lord.
"After all of this, a filthy scoundrel trapped in chains" Beckett smiled with amusement.
Beckett pulled out his flintlock pistol, aiming it at Jack.
"Send my regards to Jones for me, will you, Mr Sparrow?" Beckett smiled.
You come in the way of the between Jack and Beckett.
"Y/n, move," Beckett ordered.
Since you refused, Beckett aimed the pistol directly in front of you and Sparrow. "I'll give you the final chance to turn away now, girl/boy/y/n".
Beckett was frustrated that you defended Sparrow. For a moment, he lost his composure.
His cold eyes drew into one of regret for a moment, as if he truly treasures you.
Yet his morals kicked in and shot you. Blindly, he didn't know, he couldn't tell where his mind was but his ambitions had gotten in the way.
He looked distraught and shocked, as smoke left the pistols' end point.
Beckett hadn't really meant to kill you, not really, but his ambitions were tremendous.
If he confessed it would be "you make me content, a sweet girl/boy/person in this devastating world betrothing herself/himself/themself to my desire. What a despicably beautiful act."
James Norrington 🎖
James had his heart broken by the woman he was devoted to.
He was honorable, polite, and a man with high morals.
The admiral has been in love before but could never really express it.
If he were to love another, it would be better for him so he could move on.
James met you when he betrayed Will and Elizabeth when he retrieved the heart of Davy Jones.
Beckett dismissed the admiral as he was set out to be promoted and restored once more.
"Y/n, what are you doing here?" James said in concern.
"I had to see you, the chest of Jones, did Will and Elizabeth destroy it?" you asked in a huff.
James looked down in shame, he betrayed the only friend he had.
"So they didn't?, why?" Y/n asked.
"Listen to me y/n, there may not be much time, Beckett's men will hunt you if they find out you're associated with Sparrow" James whispered.
"You need to leave, don't come looking for me anymore, your safety is my highest concern" James looked around the hall outside of Beckett's office.
"You're precious to me, more than any I've known," James suddenly pushed his lips to meet yours, like it's a goodbye kiss.
"Now go," James ordered you.
You listened and left without a word as James breathed a sigh in relief and attended his duties toward Lord Beckett.
If James were to confess, it would be like "y/n, you're a fine woman/man/person, and you would make an even finer wife/husband/partner."
Tia Dalma 🐚
Tia was a wild woman. She was extraordinary compared to the rest, she likes to explore those she's interested in.
Tia had only loved once, a man from a long time ago but he betrayed her.
Tia being in love would finally heal her wounded heart.
She would be able to move on but not destroy Davy Jones as he was her past.
Tia was greeting Jack Sparrow, an old friend.
"Jack Sparrow," Tia smiled at the captain.
"Tia--" Jack noticed you behind the back "question, who's that" he pointed.
"She/he/y/n is a child with a destiny," Tia said no more than that.
"New friend, congrats, love," Jack smiled.
"She's/he's/their more than just that," Tia implied.
Jack was astonished, although he didn't know the full story.
Tia had guided you from the beginning, she was a goddess you fell for.
When she confronted Davy Jones, you felt Jealous knowing her past.
Davy would kill you for taking his lover.
If Tia confessed, she would do it after her Goddess form "my y/n," she whispered.
Carina smyth ✨
Carina was a very smart woman, an astrologist curious to know who her father was.
Carina being in love is more likely to involve her being caring toward you.
She would spend time with you and tell you about the stars and her past.
Carina was talking to Henry; Henry respected her decision but felt bad for himself as he had a crush on her.
Carina was watching over you as you were tied with Henry and Jack to lead Barbossa and his men toward the trident.
"I don't believe now's the time to be asking odd questions, henry," Carina whispered.
"You like her/him/them. I understand, but what would happen if the captain killed us? " He whispered back.
"I think you should tell her/him/them, or they'll be no other time," he said.
Carina looked toward you as Captain Barbossa untied her to guide them over the waters.
She quickly demanded a word with you, or she won't tell them. Barbossa impatient said she had 5 minuets.
"Y/n, listen, I should've said something earlier, but I'm glad you're here with me," she admitted. "If I ever did meet my father, he would be proud of us".
If carina confessed, it would be after she found out who her father was. "I love you; I really do."
Armando salazar 👻
Salazar was sailing the seas, hunting down pirates until he died from the hands of Jack Sparrow.
Armando was human and when he fell in love he showed it through his soft side.
When he turned into the un-dead, he became cruel, cold and merciless.
Salazar kept an eye out for only one thing; revenge on sparrow.
He looked over the deck to reminisce over his past life.
He remembered you, your warmth and soft touch.
It was the only part that made him feel human.
You were probably long gone by now since Salazar had lived on for quite sometime.
That was until Jack had an encounter. After Salazar had become human from the trident breaking.
His flesh and memories were flooding back, ones of love and joy.
"I am back mi amore, I am alive," he muttered.
However, it was short lasted when Barbossa sacrificed himself to the sea killing him in the process.
"I-am-alive" as his last and final vision was you.
If he confessed, it would be when he was human and did it in a shy yet ambitious manner. "Sounds stupid, doesn't it, but te amo y/n."
Phillip swift 📔
Phillip was captured by the infamous blackbeard.
He was forced to work under his name, as a servant of the pirates.
Phillip had been tortured, physically and mentally by the captains cruel nature.
The only thing that kept him going was his bible.
When Phillip was in love it would've been with you either as a captive or a mermaid/merman/merperson.
Phillip escaped the treacherous crew from the fountain and ran back to find you.
"You came back" you said with your hands tied up to a tree "why".
"God gives love to all, gods creation shall be protected." he used a small dagger to untie you.
"I am his messenger, I will not let you die," he tried hard to uncut you.
"Phillip, I'm not special, I'm not worth your time," you said.
"What, of course you are. You are god's beautiful gift to this world, as you are mine" he finally uncut the bonds holding you.
You fell back into the water as he let you escape.
You had some options to take him with you or leave him on land.
If he confessed, he would say outright, "You are a beautiful creature, made from the heavens above."
Syrena 🧜♀️
Syrena was caught by the crew for her tears.
She didn't know the human world, but she knew cruelty.
You were a boatswain on black beard's ship. Angelica prompted you as she thought you were more tougher.
You kept an eye on everything, the riggings, the crew, and the order.
Syrena became friendlier with you and Phillip. However, you were short lasted as you started to have feelings for syrena.
One night, while Jack was hunting for the chalices. You stuck out.
You brought a small cutlass with you and cut the bindings.
With no word you grabbed syrenas hand and ran.
"Where are we going" she said.
"To freedom" you replied.
Phillip got up and went to check on syrena when she was nowhere to be found.
The crew had no idea where the mermaid or you went but it put angelica and her father in a heap.
They were ordered to hunt you down and kill you.
She looked into the sea yet without a second thought looked back.
"Come, come with me, you save me, I do the same in return," Syerna held your hand.
"I, I can't, you're a mermaid, and I'm a human it wouldn't work," you said sadly.
Syrena looked up and kissed you before diving into the sea. Her tail sparkling in gold.
"I understand, but what's left for you up here?" she pointed toward the way back.
You held your hand out as Syerna dragged you into the sea, never to be found again.
If she confessed, it would be, "I feel it for you, a human feeling for you, I love you."
Angelica tech 👢
Angelica was under the eyes of her father, she had to play a very strict role in order to survive.
She was no mere lady, she was the first mate of her father.
She was Jack sparrows ex-lass, an old flame, broken woman of the seas.
Angelica trusted no one. She didn't want to be played for a fool ever again.
Angelica in love would be like having a second chance only, be careful not to break it.
One night, you set up a romantic giving that was until Jack ruined it.
"So let me guess this straight, she likes you, you like her, and you hate me," Jack questioned. "And you're just here," he pointed to the bard, who smiled and waved back.
"Aye, Jack, this is none of your business," Angelica spoke.
"You should've known. If you wanted me back, you wouldn't have left, " angelica concluded.
"Nah, but see here, love, she doesnt know who you are" Jack turned to you.
"Jack, she/he/y/n doesn't have to know of my life," angelica persisted.
"Though you proclaim to be the daughter of-" Jack nearly spilt her secret.
"I'll cut your eye out Jack!" Angelica interrupted.
"I got a second chance, a chance that you never gave me, and I'll be damn sure you don't ruin it" Angelica threatened.
"Hang on, don't she/he/they know that's blackbeards daughter" the bard spilled.
"Now that wasn't me," Jack defended.
"You're a pirate," you question.
"Yes, yes I am, at heart like my father" angelica admitted.
"Pirate or not, you're still the heart of my sea," you asked.
If angelica confessed, it would be sweet and passionate. "My y/n, you are always mi amore."
Edward tech🏴☠️
He was one of the most fearsome pirates known to date.
In the fountain of youth, you were captured as a concubine/concubinus/partner.
You weren't exactly treated with care, always expected to somehow pleasure and entertain all the crew and its captain.
You grew to be tough once you were in the fountain of youth you were forced to join.
Phillip and syrena were the closest you had ever gotten to a friendship.
One night, you entered the cabin to confront the captain.
Though it wasn't as planned as you were held back.
It wasn't easy, but as time went on, you had grown soft for his daughter.
On the other hand, it was decided you were to be made as a pirate bride/husband/partner.
You grew to hate the life but slowly developed feelings.
As you got to the fountain of youth, it was surprising he chose to sacrifice his daughter instead of you.
Though in the end, he may have died, but it was revealed he indeed had feelings for you as he muttered out your name before falling to bone.
Joshamee Gibbs 🍻
Gibbs was Jack's loyal first mate, a member of his crew.
Gibbs was more logical than Jack was and acted like a father figure toward him as a dear friend.
Gibbs was surely never once had been in love as he valued the sea more.
One day, you came on board as Jack's "friend" to see the pearl.
as he set sail, Gibbs had taken more of a liking to you.
Jack would certainly get jealous of all the attention Gibbs is giving you.
Usually falling off the barrels as you walk past from drinking as he was caught off guard.
He would speak to you about the ways of the ship, boasting on about Jack.
Gibbs eventually settled his mind on one thing yet he had to make a hard decision to choose you or the sea.
Gibbs one night decided to take you on a date with the help of "jack".
One day, Gibbs came in to admit something.
"Ah, Master Gibbs, glad you're here, I need yo-" Jack noticed Gibbs's words.
"Jack, it ain't easy, I thought it be the sea, but oh, miss/mr/y/n was certainly a sight." Gibbs reminisced.
"Who, the girl/guy/person, well bloody didnt well know that," Jack furrowed his eyebrows.
"Jack, ye've been intertwined wit lasses before, whaddya do ta reel them in" he asked for advice.
Jack smiled, thinking, "Guess I won the bet, ye owe me a lot of shillings and doubloons Hector".
"Right mate, first you have to set the mood hm, then add some passion t'your evening then--" Jack gave Gibbs a sly look.
"Then wha" Gibbs smiled following along.
"Then you leave the next morning and set your sights on the sea," Jack smiled.
"Jack, I ain't spendin' a crack at jenny's teacup wit her/him/them," Gibbs firmly said.
"Hm, then that's on you, mate," Jack wandered off to find some rum.
If Gibbs confessed, it would be like the old school couple kind "y/n, I ain't usually interested in many bah, ye be one o' a kind, I love ye from the bottom o' the briny deep ta tha top o'tha shining stars".
Ragetti and Pintel 👁💢
Ragetti and pintel are two of the same, not the smartest but not the worst either.
One day in tortuga, the two spotted the sight of a good looking lass/lad/person.
"Look o'er there, quite a looker ey" pintel winked.
"Yeah, bets they taken though" Ragetti thought.
"Only one's way ta find out," Pintel smiled.
"Wait, we's can't just goes o'er there, i means look at them and looks at us" Ragetti halted pintel.
"Who cares if she/he/they's aint inta us, well plunder er/im/em," pintel replied.
"I wouldn't do tha', I would take em out ta sail unda' tha stars n' then dance wit them under the moonlight, reciting some love words" Ragetti swooned at his idea.
Pintel looked at Ragetti like he was repulsive "I would's bring er/im/em ta tha brigs n' if cap'n don't want er, then I'll take em" pintel smiled at the evil thought.
"Ya's ave' ta be in love ta treat em right, I wouldn't hurt em otherwise" ragetti intervened.
"Love, it's repulsive t'ward pirates, keeps us doin' mushy stuff tha aint them" Pintel cringed.
"N'alright, if ye ain't gonna treat em right, then i's will." ragetti approached you.
Pintel grabbed him by the arm. "Hangs on who's says you's get firsts claim".
"I did" ragetti growled. Then the two grabbed out their cutlasses and started to sword fight over the pettiness of you.
If the two were in love, it would be weird yet funny to watch. Ragetti would be intelligent in his ways of speaking to you while pintel would probably scare you off.
Captain Teague 🎸
Teague is an old sea salt, the keeper of codes and the first in the Brethren court.
He would be seated in the Brethren courts meeting when Jack greeted his dear old dad.
"Ello' Jackie" Teague greeted his son.
"Dad" Jack greeted back.
"Been a while, hasn't it" Jack admitted.
"Hm, seems so" Teague replied.
A woman/man/person comes around and greets their husband with a smile and curtious look.
"Who's that" Jack asked.
"They be my new mate" teague didn't reply much more then that.
"Does this mean I ave' a new parent now" Jack looked confused.
"How's mum" Jack asked curiously.
Teague pulled out a shrunken head of her as Jack smiled awkwardly. "She looks great."
You on the other hand smiled at Jack's reaction as you wrapped yourself around your husband.
"Sparrow" you muttered.
Teague treated you with respect and sometimes played his guitar to you.
If he confessed, it would be sudden. "Hmm, guess I would say I love you, but be a bit cliche really".
Bootstrap Bill🐚
Bootstrap was apart of the cursed crew on the Dutchman.
He had no free will and even missed his son.
You were the only bright part of his life, he would protect you from Davys grasp.
Bootstrap Bill in love would bring back memories of his former, dead lover arabella.
You looked after bootstrap as he talked about his son.
One day bootstrap got punished by Davy Jones.
"No, it's not her/him/them it was me" bootstrap defended.
Bootstrap held his end for you and got whipped at the boucan.
Bootstrap would be the most protective man that would stick out for you.
Bootstrap admitted his confession when you were hurt. "I'm sorry y/n, I loved you, I couldn't go through with Davy hurtin' you."
Redd the pirate 👩🦰
Redd was a tough woman. She was previously a wench and now she's a pirate.
Redd would be protective of you and she would defend you in any way she could.
She would hold many adventures with you and let you set sail with her.
"Seem's the ol landlubber knows how ta sail" she smiled to you.
"Seems the ol' lass knows her words" you replied.
Redd would be hanging around Tortuga while having fun.
She was auctioned off originally for being a pirate bride however she sailed with barbossas old crew on the wicked wench.
You showed redd respect compared to the rest of the drunkards.
If she confessed, she would kiss your forehead while saying, "Be not many like ye, a true lady/gent/person ta show this lass a yey ol time. I be willin ta spend e'ry shillings on ye if ye take this lass out on a blissful evenin".
Anyways that's all I have for now:

I don't go to TWST but I'm loving watching you get into the community. As an outsider, I just wanna ask, how do you come up with character names? Is there any relation to the character you're twisting from?
Aaahhh Jay dear, you know I love this kind of question because diving into this kind of thing is my delight!
And as for the answer...
✨✨✨
Regarding Copper and the characters attached to him, each of them is a fairly unimaginative nod to the characters they're twisted from, save for perhaps Old Flynn (twisted from Rufus the cat, I went for the meanings of both names and how similar they were.) As for Copper and the fact he's a double twist, his chosen name wasn't too hard to take from "Penny", (speaking in the Doylist sense,) and his deadname is actually the reference to Captain Barbossa (currently. He might later adjust his form of address in the future in ways that reflect that as well.)
✨✨✨
The Wei family is somewhat trickier. I initially had mostly developed just Wei Renqiao, with his uncle Wei Gang and cousin Wei Xinyi as afterthoughts. And since Wei Renqiao is an expy of Shan Yu while also being very much his own person, that set the stage for how I chose to name him.
The family name "Wei" has a variety of different meanings based on the characters it's written with. I went for the characters meaning "dangerous" or "towering", partially as a nod to Shan Yu in Wei Renqiao's character, but also because it fit the way my muse was unfolding and determining that the Wei family are often the fierce protectors and leaders of their people.
Wei Renqiao's name is written with "Ren" for "trust" or "rely on" and Qiao for "artful, skillful, clever". Clearly this is where some deviation from Shan Yu occurs and we see he's his own character. It should also be noted his name at birth was actually Wei Feng, written with "Feng" as "phoenix", which is both a nod back to Shan Yu in a way, as well as an hint at his Signature Spell/Unique Magic. He doesn't care to be called this though.
His uncle's name, Wei Gang, has the characters for "rigid" or "strong", both meant to prove a few things about his character but it was ultimately landing on that name that made me realize he was indeed twisted from The Emperor (I'd been suspicious but not certain up to that point.)
Wei Xinyi is the one that especially delights me as a bit of serendipity! I hadn't intended them to be a Mulan expy, not initially, but I must have been leaning in that direction anyhow because their SS/UM allows them to switch between genders, and I knew that about them first. From there I went hunting for a name and stumbled across "Xinyi", which I've noticed can be written with m. or f. characters. (It's the "Xin" that can be written differently but the "Yi" is the same.) That name jumped out at me when trying to pick something, not necessarily for its meaning so much as the fact I noticed it can be written either way and still largely mean the same thing, and Xinyi themself immediately decided that was their name, so it stuck!
✨✨✨
THEN WE GET TO CHRYS AND HIS PARENTS AND BOY OH BOY.
I picked his mother's name, Kallisto, out of a list of possible names. I already had a pre-existing bias towards the name, yeah, though I must say its meaning ("most beautiful") wasn't necessarily the deciding factor or even tied to what she's twisted from. It was only a couple of days ago I even realized I had drawn on aspects of the Muses for her character!
Ilias was a little more deliberate, as one of the meanings of it is "prophet" or "oracle" or "diviner". Again a hint-hint, wink-wink about Ilias's SS/UM, but in this case it's also because a lot of aspects of him I drew from the Fates.
CHRYSANTHOS. OH CHRYSANTHOS. I WAS DOING SOME 5D CHESS WITH HIM.
The Shroud family in canon is twisted from Hades, they've all got characteristics of him, noticeably the hair. And I do love a good surname that's a point towards Hades being the Lord of the Dead.
I've got a running joke that Chrys is my little flower boy. I'll explain some of that in future posts, but his parents chose his name because at one point his hair reminded them of chrysanthemums when he was a baby. And while that may be considered chuckle-worthy, chrysanthemums are funerary flowers in most parts of the world. (Most of America doesn't attribute them as such, but New Orleans actually keeps to this. This has nothing to do with the character, I just find that interesting.) And you know me; the second I saw that was a Greek name based on chrysanthemums, that part of me that goes nuts for the language of flowers latched on and went feral for the layers of symbolism there.
As for that tying to the fact has a lot of character traits from Meg, well...take that as you will.

The daughter of a Legend
(gif not mine)
Summary: HC’s of being Jack’s daughter.
Warnings: Like one curse word but other than that nothing
Parring: Jack Sparrow x daughter!reader
Jack knew you were his kid before you were born
He knew the woman he got pregnant was pregnant because he saw her walking around with a stomach the size of a watermelon
Let's just saw he was more shocked then when Barbossa took his ship for the 3rd time
But he was in town when you were born
Him and your mother agreed that you’d stay with her
It wasn’t because he didn’t want you, he did really
He thought you’d be like his partner in crime
Your mother just didn’t want you to have anything to do with him and if that’s what she really wanted that’s what she’d get
But he knew that if you’d be anything like him you’d find him
But sadly your mother died giving birth to you
Jack was about to leave when some random man he didn’t know gave him the news
He was again shocked
He didn’t love the girl but that didn’t mean he was okay with her death
He was told he needed to take you or you’d end up an orphan
So he did and that was the beginning of Y/n Sparrow
He got to name you since your mother never did
The first few nights with you were tough
None of the crew got any sleep and Gibs had to make most calls because it only seemed like you were calm when Jack had you in his arms
At first it made him mad but when he saw how calm you were in his arms it shook all his worries away
It didn’t take long for him to fall in love with you
And it didn’t take long for the crew to as well
Your first word was Dada and shortly after that was captain
Of course it wasn’t clear as day
But Jack was so proud
He knew you already knew who was the boss around here
And your first steps he almost cried
He never knew he could care so much for someone but here he was
When you were about 7 he began to teach you self defense
You were the only 7 year old who knew how to use a sword
As you got older you were given chores
But he’d always let you steer the ship
He knew you would be a captain like him one day
He taught you everything he knew
You wanted to be just like Jack when you were older and that made him ecstatic
He’d even put you in charge sometimes when you became 13
But he’s also very protective
He has a lot of enemies and the last thing he needs is for one of them to come after you to get to him
So he tried to keep you a secret but it wasn’t long before everyone found out that Captain Jack Sparrow had a child
He’d do anything to keep you safe no matter the cost
He’d never be able to forgive himself if something happened to you
That would be the biggest regret of his life
Speaking of regrets, his biggest is cursing you with his good looks
By the time you were 13, boys were already all over you
He’d never let you have any conversation with any man
It was annoying sometimes
But you do end up having male friends because you are a pirate and most pirates are boys
He doesn’t like it though, and if he sees them getting what he thinks is too close he’s not afraid to throw them overboard
And the fact that you are a girl matters nothing to Jack
It actually makes him smile knowing that someones gonna underestimate you one day and your gonna give em a run for their money
He’s also taught you that not every girl acts like you do and you’ll most likely get made fun of but that’s okay
He knows you know that you have the freedom to make your own choices and most of those girls can’t
As for living without a mother he never talks about her
But you do ask questions
And he never says anything bad but he tells the truth
You know how she died and he lets you know that it’s not your fault and no one is mad at you
He tells you that it’s normal and there's nothing anyone can do about it so there's no point in having regrets
“It’s not your fault and it never will be”
He does want you to think highly of her though
Again even though he never truly loved your mother he has sympathy for you and there's no need for you to think your mom was a bad person
And she wasn’t…she was just a bit of a hoe
But of course he never told you that
He will sometimes look at you and think about her because you do look a little bit like her
More like him though
He hopes you never grow up to be like her
He wants you to be just like him
So in the end he’s happy things worked out the way they did

Introduction to my Tumblr page??
This feels so awkward. I don't know why..
Okay anyway.
Hi, I'm Alex and this is the first introduction to any social media account I've ever made so sorry if it's not good.
I will just start off by explaining the image.
In the top left corner is what kind of music I like. I didn't want it to fill up too much so what I have on there right now is Mitski, Korn, The Cure, and The Misfits. But besides those four bands, I also like Mindless Self Indulgence, The Cure, System of A Down, The Garden, Creature Feature, Xasthur, My Chemical Romance, Deftones, Alien Sex Fiend, The Naked And The Dead, Aurelio Voltaire, Will Wood, Will Wood and the Tapeworms, Jack Conte, Lemon Demon, Queen, Birds Fear Death, Ghost, Melanie Martinez, Ramones, Pixies, TV Girl, Puzzle, Skinny Puppy, Oingo Boingo, and Soft Cell. Those are most of the Artists I listen to that I like four or more songs from.
Below the picture of music artists I like, there are three games I like to play. Like a Dino!, Nyan Cat: Lost in space, and Pastel Friends. I think I can say Like a Dino! is a music based game, and it almost reminds me of Magic Tiles 3, a game I used to play when I was younger. Nyan Cat also has music but a lot of meowing in it. I like Nyan Cat because of the sound effects and I personally find it a fun game. I also like how you can customize your cat. Pastel Friends is just a basic dress up game. I love dress up games where I get to create little characters. I don't know why, but it probably ties into how I used to be a cringy gacha kid when I was younger, but who the hell knows 🤷 It's fun and I think it's cute. But besides those three games I also like to play Fun Run 3, Geometry Lite, Geometry Dash, SubZero, Doki Doki Literature Club, Baldi's Basics, Custom Cast, Goat Simulator, Minecraft, and Gacha Life 2. Gacha Life 2 is only to dress up and make cute characters again, I promise I do not participate in any Gacha Heat 😞🙏
Below the games there are three movies. Pirates of the Caribbean 1: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest, and Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End. POTC 3 is my ultimate favorite though. My favorite character is Hector Barbossa and he is just such a good character in my opinion! I do not wanna say too much because I'm afraid I might spoil something, but he owns a monkey named Jack and I remember a specific scene at the end of one of the movies Hector is seen baby talking Jack (not Sparrow).
On the right side of the movies, there is an anime I really liked and have for four years. HunterxHunter!!! I love it so much I have no idea why. Like I hate so many of the characters, like that stupid clown Hisoka, and there's also the bald lemon head looking bald grandpa in the Zoldyck family, but it's not Zeno. But besides that, I find it a nice anime.
On top of HunterxHunter, there's two people I made in Pastel Friends. Me on the left and my girlfriend on the right. I will not say her name for her own sake but she is the best and I'd do anything for her. We were friends for a year before we got into a relationship and she's the most perfect person I've ever met.
On top of my girlfriend and I is Illumi Zoldyck. There is not much to say. I just like him :P
And on top of Illumi, there is the unlabeled flag. I hope its not outdated, I kind of rushed making this whole thing. But I do not have any labels on my gender/sexuality. I am not cis, demi-boy, demi-girl not hetero, bisexual, pansexual, I am just me and prefer the pronouns he/him or they/them. But it is completely cool if you go by any of the sexual orientations/genders I just listed!! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🌈🌈🏳️🌈 bwyafypdh
I think I explained everything on the image, now I will tell you other things
My favorite drink is eggnog, my favorite foods are probably steamed vegetables, my favorite candy is suckers, my favorite dinosaur is the Spinosaurus, my favorite colors are red and sometimes green.
Likes: Candles, things that smell good, writing, reading, poetry, winter, the cold, caffeine, pirates, dinosaurs, language from the 1500's, music, the grinch, lipgloss, socks, cool mugs, sketching, mini dioramas
Dislikes: Being too warm, MY HANDS BEING STICKY, naps, breaking my elbow, cracking my knuckles and feeling pain, mean teachers
I have a basic DNI list
My favorite book is also The Timekeeper by Rob Kidd!
#mitski#korn#the cure#the smiths#the misfits#soad#xasthur#mcr#deftones#msi#mindless self indulgence#alien sex fiend#introduction#hunter x hunter#i hope i did this right#omg#gourmet lolipops are so good

Go off about Val
Don’t mind if I fucking do babe
Valentino’s a pretty pink tiefling, they grew up wondering why his mom stayed with his dad, the kind of guy that kept the two of them under his thumb. His mom squirrelled away some money for them and told them to leave and never come back so he took that money and went to wizard school :•)
At the wizard academy one of their teachers was a scout for a blood cult and took interest in his skills and as a result he met the campaign’s big bad, Francis, fell head over heals for the sonofabitch (Val has some serious daddy issues) and joined the cult, seeking power he’d never had growing up.
He was Francis’ new plaything and the cult’s current second in command, Payton, gave him a very ominous warning one night, basically telling him that nothing good comes from being Francis’ little project and that he should get out while he could. He did not take this warning seriously cause Francis insisted Payton was just a crazy bitch and boy howdy they sure would live to regret that :•)
Payton ended up faking her death the next day and Valentino was promoted to right hand. He ended up becoming friends with the leader of the gang that despises the cult, Shakira, if only because she runs the casino that he likes to go drinking at, he’s also friends with one of the casino bartenders, Lux, who listens enthusiastically to his daily complaining now that he’s been Francis’ right hand for 15 years.
His relationship with Francis is extremely toxic (like Francis has literally killed him very recently, Val is still alive because they had a clone). This is not a healthy workplace environment. Despite himself he is still in love with the guy, he’s terrified of him and exhausted by all the bullshit, he often thinks about what his mom would say if she saw him, how she’d belittle him for ever judging her for staying with his dad when he can’t even bring himself to leave Francis. He thought he had more freedom and because of it and being fed up with Francis he tried to help the pcs’ party with their goal to take down the cult. Francis was more clued into their personal life and their visits to the casino than he thought and their betrayal resulted in the previously mention killing. Also I didn’t mention but they have a terrible case of thanatophobia and there’s not much they wouldn’t do to prevent their ultimate demise.
He’s also currently en route to be replaced by a dumbass named Barbossa that, despite himself, he’s jealous of, Barbossa is clueless and not jealous of Valentino which infuriates them all the more.
If I say anything more it’ll get very horny and violent

The History of Jack Sparrow
Jack was born to Edward Teague and an unknown woman on a pirate ship. He was named after Teague’s brother. Jack grew up in a tumultuous household full of outlaws on Shipwreck Cove. He was determined to follow his father’s footsteps and become a captain of a ship, rather than an ordinary pirate like the majority of his relatives. As a teenager, Jack served as a cabin boy on the Troubadour ship of Captain Teague. While a member of Teague’s crew, he visited many countries and ports. However, Jack became fed up with his hectic life in a pirate family due to the torture he suffered from his Grandmama. One night, he snuck into the study. There, Jack consulted the Pirata Codex’s section on freedom and pirates needs to make their own decisions. Afterwards, he decided to run away by escaping out the window and stowing away aboard a merchant ship to Tortuga.
The Compass
As a young pirate, Jack bartered a magical compass from Tia Dalma. However, the compass somehow ended up in the possession of Morgan, the captain of the Wicked Wench. Jack most likely joined his crew due to this. Around this time, the notorious Spanish Royal Navy Capitán Armando Salazar, decided to exterminate piracy in the Caribbean to avenge his father and grandfather’s deaths. Facing extermination, the last pirates joined forces to stop Salazar, but the Spaniards destroyed most of the fleet in battle off the coast of the Devil’s Triangle. The Wench was the last remaining ship. In the moment, the dying captain handed the compass to Jack. When the compass pointed toward the Triangle, he quickly formulated a plan to defeat Salazar. Jack then took command of the situation. He forced Salazar to sail into the Triangle where the warship hit the nearby rocks and sank. It was then Jack became known as “Sparrow” and earned his hat as thanks from the crew.
Pirate Rogues
Years later, Sparrow returned to Shipwreck Cove and became a good friend to Captain Christophe-Julien de Rapièr. At the time, mysterious pirate ships were attacking merchant and pirate ships. To solve the case, a meeting was held at Pirate Hall. Although he wasn’t invited, Sparrow entered the chamber where some of the Pirate Lords convened. There, he met Hector Barbossa. A few months later, Captain Teague summoned Davy Jones, the Lord of the sea, who identified Borya as the rogues leader. Borya then revealed Christophe was one of the other rogue captains. As a result, the rogues were imprisoned in Shipwreck City’s dungeons. Despite this, Sparrow believed Christophe was innocent and helped him escape. By doing this, he broke the Pirate Code and became an outlaw to the Brethren. During their escape from the island, Christophe’s rogues kidnapped Sparrow where he involuntarily served under Christophe for a few weeks. Soon, Christophe asked Sparrow to join him as captain of one of his vessels. Once Sparrow was twenty, Christophe didn’t want his friend with him anymore and left him in a longboat on the open sea. After reaching land, Sparrow became employed by the East India Trading Company.
The East India Trading Company
Jack faithfully served the Company for five years. At twenty-five, Jack sailed aboard the EITC brig Fair Wind as First Mate. When the captain was killed in a battle with pirates, Jack took command. He managed to save the ship and most of its cargo from falling into pirate hands. Cutler Beckett, an EITC Director for West Africa, was impressed. As a reward, he offered Jack command of Marlin, a slave ship of the Company, but Jack refused to transport slaves. Instead, Beckett allowed him command of the sold and converted merchant vessel, the Wicked Wench.
One day, Beckett proposed Jack organize a search for the lost island, Kerma. Jack embarked on a voyage, assisted by Beckett’s house slave, Ayisha, who was actually princess Amenirdis of the Kerman royal family. Later, Jack decided to not reveal Kerma’s location to Beckett knowing he would enslave the inhabitants of the legendary island. A few days later, Beckett heard Jack betrayed him and ordered Jack to carry a cargo of slaves to New Avalon in the Caribbean. Jack set off with the Wench’s hold filled of slaves following his pick up, but he couldn’t stand the idea of humans being “cargo”. To free them, Jack sailed back to the illusion-hidden Kerma where the island’s ruler let the slaves seek asylum there.
A Fugitive’s Bargen
After being disobeyed, Beckett sent five EITC ships after Jack. When he was finally caught, Jack was thrown into prison. A couple of months later, Beckett ordered Jack to be brought within sight of the Wicked Wench about a mile off the coast of Western Africa. Beckett then branded Jack with a “P” on his right forearm to mark him a pirate forever and ordered his ship to fire on the anchored Wench. Jack then broke free from his captors, dove into the ocean and swam for his ship to save it. Unfortunately, Jack became trapped in his own cabin and went down with his sunken ship.
Neither dead nor alive, Jack found himself on the path to the Land of the Dead. He then spoke the magical incantation to summon Davy Jones and struck a bargain with him. In exchange for the resurrection of the Wicked Wench, Jack would resign from his captain position after thirteen years and serve aboard Jones’ ship for a century. However, Jack had no intention of keeping his end of the bargain. He was too attached to his ship and didn’t want to serve anyone. Inspired by the Biblical parable of “the pearl of great price”, Jack rechristened his ship as the Black Pearl. Afterwards, he set out for a life of adventure as a pirate again.
A Captain’s Legacy
Sparrow became the subject of many legends and rumors about his exploits, some of which were lies made up by Sparrow to bolster his reputation. It was believed Sparrow became chief of the Pelegostos and picked up the cannibals’ language. He also met Angelica, a novice from a Spanish convent. However, Sparrow admitted he mistook it for a brothel. Sparrow seduced Angelica and corrupted her by introducing her to pirate life. They had several adventures together. Despite having feelings for her, Sparrow dumped Angelica when confronted with matrimony as there were occasions where she tried to kill him. In which, Angelica tried to kill him again in Saint Dominique when Sparrow left.
When Teague retired from the Court to become a Keeper of the Code, he passed his seat to Sparrow. Sparrow accepted the position, but chose the Caribbean Sea as his domain instead of Madagascar. He then tied his piece of eight into his hair, letting it dangle over his bandanna. With the Black Pearl still under his command, Sparrow then recruited a crew in Tortuga. Barbossa became his First Mate. The crew had many adventures before the treasure of Cortés.

Personality:
A notorious and infamous pirate, pillager, brigand, and highwayman; that was how Captain Jack Sparrow would be described by himself. Sailing a fine line between piratical genius and mercurial madness, Jack had an enemy in every port.[35] Even at young age, he was the biggest troublemaker on the Seven Seas. Jack Sparrow was noted for his unusual demeanor, characterized by a slightly drunken stagger and wild, flailing arm and hand gestures that made him appear unfocused and possibly ataxic. This was possibly due in part to the hot climate of the Caribbean, and the large amount of time spent on deck of various ships–though it should be noted he seemed fairly sure-footed onboard a ship. However, it is more likely that his demeanour was due to a common affliction of most sailors of that era–a combination of lots of rum, very few fruits and vegetables, and a tendency to accidentally hit one's head quite often on low-hanging bulkheads below the decks of a ship. It was rumored that Jack suffered heat stroke while marooned on a desert island after Hector Barbossa's mutiny aboard the Black Pearl.
Jack could be extremely serious on occasion, such as after shooting Barbossa on Isla de Muerta, or when he saw the Kraken's corpse lying on the beach. He was shown to be quite serious when he witnessed Davy Jones stabbing Will Turner in the heart. Jack even expressed grief for Barbossa's second death, despite their troubled history. Jack's seemingly-perpetual drunkenness may have been the cause of his slurred speech.
Average in height and build, Jack Sparrow relied more on intelligence, agility, and quick wit to protect himself, rather than physical strength. He was seen as both the "worst" and "best" pirate, though he never went into a fight if he didn't have to, and always took a shortcut out of tough situations. Jack frequently outmaneuvered enemies with his words but when forced to fight he was still a formidable opponent. As long as his own precious hide was at risk, a man could ask for no better comrade in battle. As a notorious pirate, Jack Sparrow was a decent, if self-serving, man who adhered to the Pirate's Code. He believed pirates could still be "good men," which was his evaluation of Bootstrap Bill Turner. Unusually altruistic for a pirate, Jack would risk himself to save others, most notably Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Angelica, and Henry Turner; he regularly showed a desire to avoid killing those who did not specifically wish him harm, preferring to avoid soldiers who were simply after him because he was a pirate rather than because they had some specific vendetta against him as Captain Jack Sparrow. Even after a time where he feared death and was hell-bent on achieving immortality, Jack would not do so if it came at the cost of others. This was evidenced when he was faced with the choice of stabbing Davy Jones' heart himself or letting Will Turner stab it, using Will's hand to stab the heart so that his dying friend would take on the role of captain of the Dutchman and be saved from his imminent death.
This reluctance to sacrifice another was also shown when he admitted having less interest in using the Fountain of Youth after learning it required the sacrifice of another individual, the waters of the Fountain and the tear of a mermaid, when drunk from two silver chalices, transferring life from one and giving all the years they had lived or would live to another. With this in mind, Jack only used the Fountain to save Angelica after she was poisoned by Barbossa's sword, simultaneously tricking the already-villainous Blackbeard into giving his life for the sake of his daughter. Jack also helped Henry Turner win over Carina Smyth by giving him her book so he could return it. It was partly this benevolence that led the crew to the mutiny aboard the Black Pearl, according to Barbossa, with Jack preferring to convince prospective 'victims' to give his crew what they sought where Barbossa found it easier to kill the crews and take what they wanted. It is unclear whether this was true or just mocking from Barbossa after he claimed the Pearl.
Every captain needed a reliable first mate, and Joshamee Gibbs was Jack Sparrow's first choice. They made a great team, but they did have a habit of getting each other into trouble. Gibbs was an old friend of Jack's, having supposedly known him since his childhood. It was Jack who persuaded Gibbs, a sailor of the Royal Navy, to turn pirate.
As often as Jack Sparrow saved Elizabeth and Will, however, he also tricked them to serve his own purposes and even offered up Will to Davy Jones in exchange for himself; when asked if he could condemn an innocent and friend to serve Jones forever while Jack himself roamed free, Jack merrily replied, "Yep. I'm good with it," after a brief moment of hesitation (although considering his immediate efforts to find the Dead Man's Chest after making this arrangement, he may have simply agreed to this 'deal' to buy time for him to find Jones's weakness). In a moment of cowardice, he deserted his ship and crew to save himself from the Kraken. However, after checking his compass, he chose to return and save his shipmates.
Further evidence of his morality was when he refused to transport slaves for the East India Trading Company, and when his extensive criminal record was read during his attempted executions at Port Royal and Fort Alvo Grande, it included no reference to crimes such as rape or murder. Jack later showed sadness at the sacrifice of Hector Barbossa, showing that in spite of their previous enmity and rivalry, he still respected Barbossa after he died to protect his daughter. Jack also claimed to be a man of his word, and often expressed surprise that people would doubt his honesty.
Even though he received no formal education, Jack was far away from being just a typical illiterate pirate. More or less raised by himself, and always wanting to learn about the world, Jack developed a taste for reading poetry, history, and biographies of notable persons from the past. One of his favorite writers was William Shakespeare.
One of the well-known things about Captain Jack Sparrow was his myth. Many tales have been told of him, most of which have been embellished by Jack himself. Such tales have made Jack an infamous pirate of the Caribbean, having been known for having created, or at least contributed to, his own reputation. For example, when Gibbs tells Will Turner that he escaped a desert island by strapping two sea turtles together, Jack embellished the story by claiming that the rope was made from his own back hair. Will later threw this back at him when he asked how Will escaped from the Flying Dutchman. When Will responded with the same story, Jack remarked, "Not so easy, is it?" Additionally, while searching for him, Will's guide told him that Jack escaped his execution in Port Royal by grabbing two parrots and flying away.

Backstory:
Jack Sparrow was a legendary pirate of the Seven Seas, and the irreverent trickster of the Caribbean. A captain of equally dubious morality and sobriety, a master of self-promotion and self-interest, Jack fought a constant and losing battle with his own best tendencies. Jack's first love was the sea, his second, his beloved ship the Black Pearl.
The son of Captain Edward Teague, Jack Sparrow was born on a pirate ship in a typhoon. Before he was known as "Captain Jack Sparrow", he was simply known as Jack, a teenage stowaway who, even then, had a desire for adventure. Jack first sailed on the Barnacle with a young ragtag crew on a quest to locate and procure the legendary Sword of Cortés. As a young pirate he earned the name Jack Sparrow when he trapped the notorious Spanish pirate hunter Capitán Salazar in the Devil's Triangle. Years after his teenage adventures, an encounter with the infamous rogue pirates forced him to abandon the pirate life and take employment in the East India Trading Company. After five years of faithful service, during which he sailed across all the Seven Seas, he was given command of the Wicked Wench, a ship owned by Cutler Beckett, the EITC Director for West Africa. As Beckett's employee, Jack searched for the mystical island of Kerma and its legendary treasure, until he decided to betray Beckett and keep the island and its inhabitants safe from Beckett and his slave traders. When Beckett contracted him to transport a cargo of slaves to the Bahamas, Jack chose to liberate them and steal the Wench from Beckett. However, Beckett's men managed to find him and branded him as a pirate, while the Wench was set aflame and sunk. After striking a bargain with Davy Jones, the ghostly captain of the Flying Dutchman, to resurrect his beloved vessel, Jack had the Wench renamed the Black Pearl and began the pirate life anew. At some point, Jack Sparrow became one of the nine Pirate Lords, his domain being the Caribbean Sea.
Throughout his years as an infamous pirate of the Caribbean, Jack Sparrow embarked on many adventures, several of which involved gaining items of unique value. Jack was captain of the Black Pearl for two years, during which time he searched for the Shadow Gold. But when he was after the treasure of Isla de Muerta, Jack lost the Pearl in a mutiny led by his first mate, Captain Hector Barbossa. Ten years later, with the help of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, Jack retrieved the Black Pearl after having fought and killed the cursed Barbossa, thereby becoming its captain once again. Jack was soon after the Dead Man's Chest, to settle his debt with the fearsome Davy Jones, which ended with him being taken to Davy Jones' Locker by the Kraken. After escaping the Locker with the help of his crew, led by the resurrected Hector Barbossa, Jack had joined with the Brethren Court in the battle against Lord Cutler Beckett, who had control over Davy Jones and the Flying Dutchman. Jack would later sail on stranger tides during the quest for the Fountain of Youth, contending with the notorious Blackbeard and his daughter, Angelica, who forced him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge. After the malicious Captain Salazar's ghost crew escaped from the Devil's Triangle bent on killing every pirate, Jack sought to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune by finding the Trident of Poseidon. Jack would be helped on his journey by Henry Turner who sought to free his father and they would be aided by Carina Smyth.
Over the course of time, Captain Jack Sparrow became a center of intrigue as myths and legends have been told of his exploits. Most of these tales, however, were exaggerations, or even fabrications, embellished by Jack himself to bolster his reputation. Despite his dishonesty and many deceptions, Jack Sparrow did embark on a number of grand and thrilling adventures, some involving the supernatural, pirate lore, magic, and journeys in discovering hidden treasures. Indeed, Jack's ultimate ambition was to have the freedom to sail the seas as a legendary pirate for eternity.

5. Okay call me crazy, but Maccus.
Don't get me wrong, I love Will and Elizabeth dearly. But these guys have stolen my heart. And Maccus is a good hammerhead boi who deserves more love. I have gotten unrealistically attached to him considering how few lines he has
And between Jack and Teague? Jack. No hesitation.
I love Teague and find him interesting(and tragic), but I also know what he did to his son.

Across The Stars - Part 4
Will Turner x Sparrow!Reader
Synopsis; You seem to always found yourself across the stars from the one you love
Series Masterlist 🍒
Normal Masterlist 🧚🏻
"Well Y/n... Im glad your safe!" Your father clasped his hands together and you released your grip on Will to give him a hug.
"Dad! You won't believe me when I say I was taken by Barbossa!" You sighed loudly in his arms as he tightened the hug on you, your words slowly getting to him as the weight of you being hurt lifted off his shoulders.
"I know..." He let his words linger as he tried to not be emotional in front of you. "We were here to grab a crew and save you. I was really... Worried." He sighed into your arms, tightening the hug as he realized you were here and safe.
"Well im safe now." You chuckled as you pulled away from him smiling towards Gibbs.
"Long time no see Y/n" He nodded making you smile even more.
"Yeah." You took a step backwards so you could intertwine your hand in his.
"So... He's the boy you couldn't shut up about." Your father squinted his eyes and pointed towards your intertwined hands.
"Yes." You blushed. "I see you've already met him." you pointed out and made eye contact with Will who's cheeks became red as your eyes were on him.
"Yeah! Who knew you would end up with Bootstraps kid." He placed a hand on his hip. "Always knew you would end up with a pirate tho... Good choice Y/n. And I mean it." He nodded with a smile, content with his statement, and your choice in men. "Now Where were we?" He clapped his hands before turning to Gibbs. "Aye yes! A CREW!"
"Wait a minute Bootstraps kid?" You turned to Will who had learned during the trip with your father that he was indeed the certain William Turner you had lost of those years and that it was his father who had saved your life all those years ago.
"I didn't know either..." He pointed out as he saw the frown painted on your face, placing his hands on your shoulders to calm you down.
"Wait so you mean- You're-" You felt the air getting sucked out of your lungs as the tears were about to strike from your eyes.
"Apparently." He nodded feeling emotional. "I had almost no memory of that night." He let out a saddened chuckled. "I remembered a girl, a girl that I got along with, but then it all became a blur, and I remember the ship exploding and my next memory was on Elizabeth's ship." He blurted out and kept a grip on your shoulders as your breathing became faster.
"You're Will!" You cried out and pressed your forehead on his torso as you continued crying. "You're a pirate!" You sniffed feeling a smile form on your lips as you continued crying, feeling too overwhelmed to do anything but stay in his arms. "You're my pirate." You sniffed as you felt your love for him grow even stronger.
"Well... A little bit." He shrugged finally accepting that he was a pirate. If you were one then he wouldn't mind following his father's footsteps.
Jack and Gibbs watched the scene, Jack wanting to approach you but not knowing how. He stayed with his hand in the air his fingers waving up and down as he wondered what his next move could be. Gibbs smiled as he remembered saving Will 8 years ago, smiling even more as all the events finally made sense.
"Wait so that's Bootstraps son?" Gibbs questioned, wondering if he had heard right.
"Yes." Jack eyed Gibbs who instantly realized what it meant.
"You do know that if you deliver him to Barbossa, Y/n won't like that." Gibbs pointed out making Jack raised an eyebrow.
"Aye, we're just going to have to save him before they kill him!" He forced a smile as a silence built up between them, turning his gaze towards you and Will.
"HEY! HEY! HEY!" Your father screamed as you were about to bring Will into a kiss. "I accept your relationship but that doesn't mean I have to see that." He gawked in disgust and Will couldn't help the blush that crept on his cheeks while you rolled your eyes at your father's comment.
"How about we go find a crew, and get our ship back?" You grabbed Will's hand and made your way into the tavern, a large smile on your face.
~
Before you knew it you held on to rocks, watching Barbossa's every move as he made his speech, cutting Elizabeth's hand making her blood drip onto the cursed Aztec gold.
"What is this?" Jack raised his eyebrows and pointed to the ring sitting on your left hand.
"A ring." You finished your sentence by lifting your finger towards your father's face.
"You didn't have this one before?" He raised his eyebrows again and turned to Will. "What did you do?" He pointed to him and Will's face turned red at his comment.
"He asked if I wanted to marry him, dad." You replied for him as you stared at the scene enrolling in front of you, missing your father's wide eyes.
"He didn't ask me if he could marry you" He pointed to him still confused and trying to process the events.
"Pirates am I right." You smirked adding a wink as you turned your face towards your dad, eyeing Will before you stared back at the scene.
You watched as Elizabeth was thrown down the hill of gold by Barbossa his madness rising as he realized he had been deceived.
Your father stayed mouth wide open as his stare played tennis with his eyes between the two of you. You eyed Will and noded ready to execute your plan.
You and Will left your father and slowly went into the water that separated your patch of rocks from the pile. You both came back up to breathe exactly where unconscious Elizabeth was laying. You both woke her up slowly bringing her into the water in a way to make her leave.
And before you knew it you arrived onto the decks of the stolen ship, the whole crew greeting you.
"Gibbs?" Elizabeth questioned as she stared at the crew.
After an awkward few minutes of staring and empty silence, you decided to break the ice that had formed.
"Come with me. I'll patch you up." You tapped Elizabeth's shoulder, pecking Will's lips before you slipped out into the ship making Elizabeth follow you.
She sat in a cabin, as you walked around the room letting out a large sigh as you searched the drawers for some cloth to patch her hand up.
"You were foolish." You scrunched your eyes. "You should have said a different name." You talked up as you closed the drawer with your butt before walking in front of Elizabeth grabbing a chair that you placed backward, mounting the chair like a horse, resting your arms on the back of the chair. "You should have let me say my name first a least."
"It's not your name." She said almost in the same tone as a scream. "And it's the first name that popped up, I thought I'd be safe with it, but apparently not." She finished her sentence, her tone making you even angrier and making your tolerance bar for her descent to almost zero.
"Well, it's soon to be." You let out a smile as you riped the cloth with your teeth folding it around Elizabeth's hand.
"So it wasn't a lie." She looked up to you, your eyes focused on her wound. "You're Y/n." She realized.
"In the flesh." You gave her a tight-lipped smile.
"Will talks a lot about you..." She lingered her words. "He really loves you, you know?" You nodded as a way to reply.
"And so did you." You nodded your head as you tried to find a way to fold the cloth so it would hold with the wind and water.
"I did." A sad chuckle fell out her lips as her stare went back to her hand. "But not anymore... He's always loved you and nothing can change that." She looked up to you and you did too, the eye contact being almost impossible to bear. "I won't step in the way of true love, just because I had a crush on someone who never loved me" She gave you a soft understanding smile and you looked back down tightening to bandage as you finished.
"All done." You ended, happy to change the subject. You stood up keeping your eyes focused on the golden compass and handheld telescope laying on the table. You lifted an eyebrow, looking down at your almost broken compass and dirty used telescope.
You removed your used tools, loudly dropping them on the table, and grabbed the golden ones, securing them to your belt.
"That's better." You smiled content with your action. Elizabeth looking at you with a questioning glare.
~
Like images flashing before your eyes, you had chased the Black Pearl around the Caribbean and fought Barbossa's crew.
You searched around for Will as you watched your stolen ship slowly sinking.
"Have you seen Will?" You asked Jack who was on his way to fight Barbossa. He nodded no and you snapped your head around panic rising even more as you couldn't find the familiar face.
Panic rose in you as you held onto the ropes of the pearl, jumping onto the border of the ship as watching the boat turn to flames. You let out a scream as the boat finally exploded, your fear of Will exploding with it rising even more. You cried as grief hit you like a cannonball, taking a step back, falling onto the wooden floor of the ship. You slid down in cried burying your face in your knees at the thought of a life without Will.
You cried into your knees pushing the floor.
Suddenly Barbossa picked you up, your voice almost shattering his ears as you screamed for the loss of your fiancé.
"You have no right to touch me. Leave me alone!" You tried to fight it out as he pushed you in his crew, your father tried to slightly fight out the people who were holding him watching you with a lump in his stomach, feeling your pain.
You sobbed as the crew held you tighter Barbossa screaming something you couldn't even hear. Elizabeth's face fell as she could feel your pain.
As you continued your screams of pain, feeling as though a part of you had been ripped away, Barbossa pulled a gun towards you mumbling words you couldn't even hear, his men trying to pull you up as you melted to your knees.
Jack slowly watched the burning ship as he recalled the events in his mind. Will had been inside the ship, the crash taking him away for sure. He watched you with even more pain in his eyes as he saw his daughter cry in pain, a gun pointed towards her ribs. He slowly moved one of his arms that had been held by a pirate and held his hat to his heart, eying Gibbs from the corner of his eye.
You opened your eyes just to meet with Barbossa's piercing stare.
"You will find me this Turner or I won't hesitate." He pointed the gun to you and to your father, then back to you.
"Kill me now." You sobbed as the men holding you tried bringing you up to your feet, but all the power in your legs failed you. "He's dead." your weight was starting to bother the men holding you and let you drop to your knees, their grip on your shoulders still present.
"What?" Barbossa's stare went from treacherous to confused in a matter of seconds. "You will not lie to me girl!" He pointed towards the edge of the boat signing his man to dangle you overboard so he could interrogate you, knowing a gun wasn't enough of a threat to you.
The man dragged you on the deck before a familiar voice broke the moment.
"Barbossa." Will's voice came from the other side of the ship, making you think Barbossa had shot you to shut you up and you had joined Will in heaven, your sobs calming down.
All the heads turned towards him and your father placed his hat back on his head with a slightly confused look on his face.
Will stepped down the edge of the boat and grabbed a gun that was on a wooden box.
"She goes free." He pointed the gun towards the captain and you didn't dare open your eyes at the thought of being dead.
"What's in your head boy?" Barbossa approached Will and you gently opened your eyes towards the voice "Will!" His name escaped your lips as tears of joy uncontrollably fell as you saw Will"s soft traits. You tried to push yourself towards him, all the force that was lost striking back up to your bones, fighting to get free of their grip.
"She goes free." He pointed towards Barbossa who was now inches in front of Will.
"You've only got one shot, and we can't die," Barbossa explained as Will pointed at him with his gun, Will never breaking the eye contact.
"As my future son in law please don't do anything stupid." Jack broke the tension between Will and the captain bringing his hands together as though he was praying. Will eyed your father before turning his glare back to Barbossa.
Running towards the edge of the ship, Will used the chords to pull himself up. "You can't. But I can." He replied bringing the gun to his throat. You grunted as you tried to lose the grip that the crew had on you battling to reach your fiance.
"Like that." Your father placed his hands up to his mouth in despair and looked down, trying to find a way to save everyone from this situation.
"Who are you?" Barbossa asked as he stared at confident Will.
"No one! He's no one!" Your father stepped up, walking away from the crew's grip and towards Barbossa. "He's my daughter's fiance, just a random swordsmith she met in port royal. Lovely singing voice by the way" He pointed towards Will as he went on trying to fix the situation.
"My name is Will Turner," Will spoke up your father sighing as he did. "My father was Bootstraps Bill Turner. His blood runs in my veins."
"He's the spitten imagine of ol'Bootstraps Bill, coming back to hunt us." a one-eyed man pointed out and you tried once again to get free from the crew's grip.
"Do as I say, or I'll be lost to Davy Jones Locker," Will said stealing a loving glance towards you as he did, his stare sending a spark down your spine.
"Name your turns Mr.Turner."
"Y/n goes free." He replied.
"Yes, we know that one... Anything else?" Barbossa asked and Jack pointed towards himself, catching Will's attention.
"And the crew! The crew is not to be harmed- And Elizabeth too! She's to go back to port Royal." He finished his sentence, straightening his back as he did.
"Agreed."

Character Analysis: Sorting Pirates of the Caribbean
So @sortinghatchats is brilliant. Absolutely my favorite character (and person!) analysis system. Instead of one house, you get two - a PRIMARY (your motivation, why you do things), and a SECONDARY (your toolbox, how you get things done.) Here is a very stripped down refresher, and here is my explanation for why I am saying Lion, Bird, Badger and Snake instead of the names of the Hogwarts houses.
IDEALIST PRIMARY
Lion - I do what I feel is right. (MORAL)
Bird - I do what I decide is correct. (LOGICAL)
LOYALIST PRIMARY
Badger - I do what helps my community (PEOPLE MATTER)
Snake - I do what helps me/my inner circle (MY PEOPLE MATTER)
IMPROVISATIONAL SECONDARY
Lion - Charge! React! Smash the system!
Snake - Transform, adapt, find the loophole.
BUILT SECONDARY
Bird - Plan, make tools, gather information.
Badger - Community-build, caretake, call in favors.
Now let’s talk Pirates of the Caribbean! I’m mostly focusing on the first film because it’s the best and my favorite, but I do mention 2 and 3.
***
Jack Sparrow is the classic Snake secondary. He’ll improvise an escape, improvise a weapon, wait for “the opportune moment.” He’s never fought fair in his life and doesn’t feel the tiniest bit bad about it. He’s silver-tongued. When he’s in a tight spot, he’ll tell you exactly what he thinks you want to hear. And if he knows you don’t trust him, he’ll reverse-psychology you on purpose.
It’s hard to see past his theatrical, charming, over-the-top way of doing things, and that’s on purpose. The last time Jack told someone what he actually wanted, he got himself marooned. No wonder he “plays things close to the vest now,” living in his secondary, and making people guess his motives.
At first he appears totally pragmatic, always on the side of the person who can give him the most stuff. But I don’t buy it. Jack Sparrow has a weird code of honor. Maybe not one he’s comfortable with (“you can never predict when an honest man is going to do something incredibly… stupid.”) But it’s there. The way he’s introduced - alone, respectfully saluting hanged pirates – that’s letting us know it’s not just his own freedom he values.
I like that little moment after he rescues Elizabeth when he makes it clear that she doesn’t owe him anything. “I saved your life, you saved mine, we’re square” implies that there’s a right way to do things, and that the wrong way is making people feel obligated. Jack has similar moments with Gibbs. Every time he says “keep to the Code,” he’s reaffirming that no one has to save him. When his crew abandons him, Jack shrugs and says, “They’ve done what’s right by them. Can’t ask for more than that.”
This means that Jack Sparrow has a Lion primary. But he’s a pirate, so his felt morality is less right vs. wrong and more free vs. trapped. Apart from that he’s actually kind of a classic Lion - perfectly happy on his own, so long as he doesn’t have to compromise his morals. In a deleted scene we learn that he turned pirate because he refused to be a slave ship captain, and that’s in character. He only wants the Black Pearl because the Black Pearl is freedom. That’s the message he teaches, as an unconventional mentor. He cuts Elizabeth out of her literal corset, and prods Will out of his figurative one.
(and a magic compass that points to whatever Jack wants most is a gorgeous metaphor for a Lion primary, guided by their feelings and intuition. Their internal compass).
Elizabeth Swann has a pirate’s soul. She ends the story as Pirate King. But when we meet her, she is a high-class lady deeply suspicious of the rules. She’s not on board with the latest fashions, eager to ditch her table manners, and she’s real friendly with Will - even though it makes her father bluster, “The setting is not entirely proper!” Miss Elizabeth Swann is stifled by her situation (her corset is too tight.) She’s got a whole life planned out for her, and it’s a nice life. Port Royal is a nice city and Norrington is a nice guy. But still. The thought that this is where things are going makes her uncomfortable.
Elizabeth wants to be able to act based on her gut responses. And as long as the pirates are also doing this, she’s on board. But she ditches the Pirate Code the moment it contradicts her own internal felt morality.
ELIZABETH: All of you with me. Will is in that cave and we must save him! (…)
GIBBS: There’s the Code to consider.
ELIZABETH: The Code. You’re pirates. Hang the Code, and hang the rules. They’re more like guidelines anyway.
She’s been using the pirate way of life as a way to justify and explain the way she’s always felt. And when you put things in that order (I like this system because it supports what I already know to be true) that’s a Lion primary. Also, the advice her dad gives her is just so perfect for a Lion: “Even a good decision if made for the wrong reasons can be a wrong decision.” You’re doing the smart thing Elizabeth, not the thing you feel is right. It’ll make you miserable. Stop it.
When it comes to secondaries, Elizabeth definitely has some Bird skills. She collects data (about pirates), and can put a plan into action. But it’s a model. When she’s in trouble, when things are serious, she goes improvisational Snake secondary all the way. Elizabeth lies to Barbossa, tells Norrington what he wants to hear, pretends to be drunk to put Jack off his guard. She improvises weapons, and she plays into “proper lady” stereotypes so people underestimate her. Gibbs actually recognizes this, and calls Elizabeth “daft like Jack.”
Elizabeth and Jack do house-match, which is why they always seem to get each other. Elizabeth can pin Jack down and make him give her a straight answer. She’s the only one who can consistently trick him. And when she kills him – well, he forgives. Easily. It’s never even a thing. If he had been in Elizabeth’s place he would have done exactly the same thing, and he knows it. And he knows she knows it.
(it’s kind of neat how at the end of the first movie, the two of them are trapped by Norrington, then freed by Norrington, and go off to form the core of their respective pirate crews.)
Will Turner is a charging Lion secondary who deals with challenging situations by laying all his cards on the table and throwing his sword at something. This makes him a really good foil for the Snake secondary leads, and I will never get tired of watching Jack make faces, and say variations of “how about this time we don’t just run in screaming, yeah?”
JACK: Do us a favor. I know it’s difficult for you, but please, stay here. And try not to do anything… stupid.”
WILL: Let her go!
BARBOSSA: You’ve only got one shot, and we can’t die.
JACK: Don’t do anything stupid…
WILL: You can’t. I can!
JACK: … like that.
JACK: So what’s your plan then?
WILL: I row over there, search the ship until I find your bloody key.
JACK: And if there are crewmen?
WILL: I cut down anyone in my path.
To be fair, Will does start off with a Badger secondary model. Badgers care about things being fair, and Will gets annoyed at Jack for cheating, and annoyed at Elizabeth for stealing the medallion. He’s also really leaning into the hard work aspect of the Badger secondary by practicing sword fighting three hours a day. But this doesn’t seem to be a secondary that’s especially good for him. It makes him tense and uptight, and by the end of the first film he’s completely thrown it off.
I really considered a Snake primary for him, based on how single-mindedly he goes after Elizabeth. Movies 2 and 3 just keep throwing Loyalist conflicts at him. (Will can stay with Elizabeth or save his father, but he can’t do both!) But I think he’s actually a Badger primary.
This boy cares about his communities a lot. He doesn’t think he can be with Elizabeth (even though she clearly likes him) because of “propriety.” He believes society when society tells him she’s out of his league. He covers for a boss who spends most of his time passed-out drunk, probably out of a sense of loyalty, or because he feels that’s what he’s supposed to do. He starts off the film completely dehumanizing pirates, but slowly learns his lesson – a very Badger primary character arc. And then, when Will rescues Jack at the end, it’s not because Jack is his (the way a Snake primary would parse it) but because Jack is a good man who isn’t being treated right.
(also the “part of the ship, part of the crew” refrain that Will’s new crew chants as he takes over for Davy Jones is very… dark Badger magic. You are becoming part of the whole.)
Hector Barbossa is the definition of a Burnt Primary. He can’t want. He can’t allow himself to want. Wanting is off the table. (because he is an undead skeleton.)
However, I do think that when Barbossa is healthy and y’know, not cursed, he’s a Snake primary. His beloved monkey is a little nod to the sorts of Snakey bonds he would like to form, but isn’t able to at the moment. Apart from that, he values self-care, and is a bit of a hedonist. He likes pretty things. He likes putting Elizabeth in pretty dresses. He likes elegantly prepared food, antique furniture, and nice hats. (Things start getting serious in the sword fight after Jack cuts off his feather.) This is why I think his redemption arc is so funny. Once his primary unburns, and he’s able to want things safely, he pretty much becomes a happy-go-lucky good guy overnight. And you know, I completely buy it.
As for secondary, I’m going with Badger. Barbossa community builds (he’s a much better captain than Jack.) He gives morale raising speeches. Leader of a mutiny is pretty classic dark Badger stuff. Marooning Jack, and dropping Bootstrap Bill into the ocean tied to a canon are both very ruthless, very public acts that are all about weaponizing community as a way to dehumanize your enemies and cement your power.
James Norrington starts out very Establishment (like Elizabeth.) But unlike Elizabeth, he seems to enjoy the way he can just see his life all laid out. Work his way up, become Commodore, marry the governor’s daughter. He proposes the second after he gets his promotion, it really is like he’s working from a checklist. It’s a very rigid Bird primary.
And he follows the law: “One good deed is not enough to redeem a lifetime of wickedness.” But more than that, he is comforted by following the law. When Jack tempts him into going after the Black Pearl, Norrington is clearly feeling it – but says there are things he values more than his own gut responses.
JACK: Think about it… the last real pirate threat in the Caribbean, mate. How can you pass that up?
NORRINGTON: By remembering that I serve others, Mr. Sparrow, not only myself.
This is such a great illustration of the difference between a Lion and Bird primary. A Bird’s higher power lives outside of them (and as we see here, that can make them really hard to tempt, bribe, or corrupt). But a Lion’s higher power is inside them, always. At the end of the film, Norrington adapts his system into something that looks a lot more Lion primary (this is a universe that likes Lions, and Norrington likes Lions too). But he’s still very, very Bird.
Governor Swann tells him that “perhaps on the rare occasion that the right course demands an act of piracy, piracy itself might be the right course,” and Norrington takes that in, sees the actions of Elizabeth, and says - okay. Maybe hunt all pirates always isn’t the perfect system I thought it was. Jack Sparrow tends to leave the world better than he found it, so it’s best to let him go. This change doesn’t seem upsetting to him, he doesn’t need to justify or explain it. It’s just obvious. Norrington reacts exactly the same when he learns that Elizabeth is not in love with him. He absorbs this new information, tells her that he understands, and walks away. When Lions change their minds, the process is a heck of a lot more emotional.
Then in the next film, the people around him don’t support his new Truth, and force Norrington to continue doing things he has discovered that he finds morally objectionable. And so he resigns his commission, burns, and goes into freefall, grasping at the systems he sees around him, trying to find something to hold onto. He seems like he might be beginning to build a more stable Truth – but dies before he can manage it. The sequels did Norrington dirty.
I actually want to say he’s a Badger secondary. At his most desperate and lost, his instinct is to join Jack’s crew. At his most powerful, he’s quietly calling in all his favors and getting the entire Royal Navy to look for Elizabeth. These are both versions of the same thing – leveraging community and connections to get things done.
tl;dr
Jack Sparrow – Lion primary that sees “freedom” as the ultimate good, with a bit of an amoral, pragmatic Snake primary performance so people don’t find that out / Snake secondary
Elizabeth Swann – Stifled Lion primary living in a situation where she’s not allowed to act on her instincts. Runs after pirates every chance she gets, because the ‘pirate life’ allows her to do just that / Snake secondary, Bird secondary model
Will Turner – Badger primary / Lion secondary, Badger secondary model that Jack gets him to drop.
Hector Barbossa – Burnt Snake primary that un-burns when the curse that doesn’t allow him to want things is lifted / Badger secondary
James Norrington – Rigid by-the-books Bird primary that changes to something that looks a lot more Lion, before it burns in the sequels / Badger secondary

Kangaroo Westerns!
Got a more light-hearted one today. Was undecided about adding this one because I wasn’t sure if it classified as a western or just historical. But things have been stressful and tiring and I want to write about something nice and this is one of my favourite feel-good movies.
“Dad and Dave: On Our Selection” (1995)
The story centres around the Rudd family. Joseph and Ellen, their four adult children, Dave, Kate, Dan, Sarah and teenage son Joe.
The Rudd’s are farmers who have dreams of going into the cattle business. Their farm is struggling from a hard drought and sabotage from wealthy landowner and politician, Riley.
There’s a lot of side stories in this movie, but it never feels rushed or overcrowded. The stories all blend together nicely and and it keeps the movie flowing well.
On top of the drought and Riley trying to steal their farm, every member of the family has good and bad situations to deal with.
Dave has fallen in love with widowed mother, Lily. Problem is, Dave is hopelessly shy and awkward and he has trouble telling her how he feels. He eventually does by using candy hears with love messages written on them.
(Side note; realising that this is the same man who plays Hector Barbossa in Pirates of the Caribbean was so funny)
Kate and a local man named Sandy are falling in love.
But Riley’s creepy son, Cyril is also attracted to her.
One of the best moments in the story is when Cyril derides Kate’s entire family before making a pass at her and she knocks him out with one punch.
Dan is well meaning but a schemer, which gets him in trouble with the law and causes tension between him and his family.
Sarah is sweet on the man who works in the grocery store. And Joe’s fondness for wildlife just freaks out everybody else.
(Joe reminds me a bit of Mushy. He’s not the fastest thinker in the room so he’s often underestimated. He’s a good kid and has a dozen random animals for pets. He has a heavy stutter that slows him up, and at the end of the movie when he gives a speech at his sister’s wedding it’s a real victory moment.)
Joseph is convinced by his neighbours that the small farmers need representation in the government and decides to run for election against Riley. After a heated campaign, which ends with a knock down-drag out fight between Joseph and Riley at the results announcement, Joseph is elected to parliament.
By the end of the story Dave and Lily have married, have started a cattle ranch and have a baby boy. Dan reunites with his family. Kate and Sandy marry and during the celebration massive rain storm hits, breaking the drought.
The movie closes with Joseph and Ellen reflecting on how far their life has come while everyone else dances for joy in the rain.
This is a pure feel-good movie. It’s hopeful and funny, beautifully acted and filmed.
I’ve got to talk about the cinematography because it is gorgeous.
The movie starts with a sepia tone to look like an old silent film.
And the silent film feel is carried out through the movie with text cards popping up as dividers between scenes.
I’ve never seen another movie filmed like this and it gives it such a wonderful feel.
It’s all filmed on location. I don’t think there’s any sound stage work so it feels very real. And the chemistry with the actors is perfect. The sibling dynamics especially just feel so natural.
And the music. There’s several songs throughout the story, Some sung by the characters and some as soundtrack. Unfortunately I cannot find any good YouTube links to the songs.
The waltz “My Little Concertina” that Sandy sings for Kate is so beautiful. A version of it plays at the end when the drought breaks and it’s a gorgeous moment.
And the more comedic songs like “On our selection” and “When you vote for me” are brilliantly dry and sarcastic.
I would very much recommend watching this movie if you get a chance.. It’s a very people oriented story. A slice of life. And the whole film is just a wonderful mood lifter.
#Kangaroo Westerns#Dad and Dave: On our selection#australian western#Historical movie#Favourite moment is at the end when it starts to rain#You want to cry happy tears#Everything that leads up to that moment and the music and Dave and lily dancing in the rain#It is the perfect ending

If 📖 still going on, how about they boys meeting their movie counterparts?
Ohohohohhhh I like this one :} Thank you for the suggestion anon! And ye, I’m honestly happy to take this anytime. AUs are a lotta fun and give me serotonin haha
Alrighty, now to get into the AU itself (rest are below Johnny’s since it is a pretty long post)
Johnny and Davy Jones
“I never thought a day in my life I’d lay eyes on the condemned Captain himself...and for the better.”
He would definitely be a bit put off by just how...grotesque Davy Jones looks.
Johnny can be an intense dude when he wants to be but seriously, the Flying Dutchman’s captain is more monstrous in person than any statue or book illustration can capture. Any high school student should feel weary about that sorta thing just suddenly showing up before them.
Definitely would want to avoid crossing swords with him. Johnny’s lack of heart makes it easy for him to take quite a few hits before being seriously injured but when compared to a man who’s body is more sea dweller then--well--man, then he’d do his best to avoid a confrontation.
If his dorm or any other companions were in danger however, he’d immediately be on the offensive. The condemned Captain’s arrival never signifies anything good and that would immediately put him on guard.
Hector and Hector Barbossa (Haha)
“Nice name, mate, I gotta say.”
Oh now this is fun. Meeting a genuine pirate captain who’s successfully double crossed several? Hector’s pleased to meet Barbossa.
They’d honestly share a beer, maybe some apples, and get along decently.
“You returned from the dead? Interesting, I’m currently cursed to be dead. You were too? My my that's a surprise...”
Probably would exchange stories and tales. However the most awestruck thing would probably be the fact that Barbossa has a daughter.
Hector might be someone who enjoys a good liaison--but a kid? Not something he ever considered caring about. (Hell maybe he forgot they were a thing tbh...)
Although to be frank he’s glad by comparison of some of the other characters that this is one is this counterpart.
Arsenio and Armando Salazar
“A captain and a pirate hunter. How absolutely intriguing...”
Immediate interest in Salazar’s reputation. He must admit, him talking about slaying pirates and such sounds very very familiar. Kind of like being retold a dream you once had.
Arsenio wouldn’t say much to him, but would definitely listen to his “dead man’s tales”. The pirate-hunting galleon, his crew, the final stand against an army of pirates and nearly wiping them out entirely.
Its gruesome but Arsen is absolutely captivated by the idea of pirate hunting...the ideal such shameless brutes can be wiped out and the world...thats certainly enticing.
However he’d never say that outright. After all, Arsen has his secrets not even he would tell his own counterpart.
Terry and the duo, Ragetti and Pintel
“Oh wow, neat! You’re missing an eye like I am!“
Terry’s having a ball. After all, they live by the motto that a stranger is just a person you haven’t befriended yet.
Albeit they might wind up irritating them more than befriending jfkelkleal
They’re interested that their counterpart is not one--but TWO pirates!
It’s awesome to meet actual pirates outside of Neromar and the stories their dad told them.
The story of how Ragetti lost his eye due to it being used for a ritual to set Calypso free would definitely be a story to listen about. Also their perspective on the battle within the maelstorm.
All in all, a pretty good experience!
Bonus! Calamity and Calypso
Definitely a bit more on the obvious side.
However their reasons are quite different. Calypso didn’t show up because she is unpredictable as the domain she ruled. Calamity enjoys causing distress as a descendant of a sea deity for the pure enjoyment of it.
The only difference I’d say is that Calamity doesn’t intend on reunion with Johnny or vise versa
That and he probably won’t turn into a bunch of crabs with this story fjkeklakel

Nicknames: Jackie/Jacky/Jacky-boy (by his father), Smith/Smithy (alias), Desgraciado (by angry Angelica), [insert colourful curse words by people scorned the world over]
Height: 5′9″ (though I often imagine him around 5′7″)
Age: Varies dependent on point in timeline. Movie age range 38-61. Typically in early 40′s.

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Hair colour: Brunette. Gradually lighter brown/blonde as his hair sun-bleaches with age.
Eye colour: Dark brown
Skin tone: White but Caribbean-bronzed
Body type: Slight. He’s slim and 68kg. Does have muscle however what with all the rowing, rope-hauling, running, swinging and general flapping about. He’s a sailor after all.
Accent: Sort of bastardised Cockney slapped into its own thing.
Dominant hand: Right but is quite adept with his left, too. Eyesight’s just as good as ever :U
Posture: Ridiculous. Generally stands straight in attempts to impress but owing to a combination of sea-legs, drunkenness, bravado and madness he lilts, minces and swaggers. His fingers don’t like to stay still, especially when he’s thinking.
CHILDHOOD

Manner of birth: Relatively ‘normal’ delivery except for the fact it happened during a typhoon inside the cabin of a pirate ship.
First words: ‘Dad’, ‘Code’
Siblings: None he’s aware of
Parents: Father - Edward Teague. Mother - unknown, named by my canon “Querida”.
Parental involvement: Jack’s mother raised him only until he was a toddler before her flighty ways called her out to adventure and her eventual doom. Teague was frequently absent, leaving Jack to grow up among the denizens and other children of Shipwreck Cove, however Teague was extremely strict in teaching him the Pirate Code to the point Jack was scared witless of him. Teague managed his education, though that also meant delegating to other elders who had retired to the Cove. Otherwise Teague only ever showed up at opportune moments to assist his son.
ADULT LIFE
Occupation: Ha. Good one. Oh, fine. Pirate captain. Typically of the Black Pearl.

Romantic orientation: Bi/Panromantic, possibly Demi. He doesn’t like to let himself get caught
Preferred emotional role: Dominant | Possessive | Submissive
Preferred sexual role: Dominant | Submissive
Turn ons: Attractive people, flirting, danger, The Black Pearl, a lot of things tbh.
Turn offs: Unattractive people (he’s a touch shallow), being betrayed to death, clinginess (unless he feels it back)
Love language: Physical Touch, Gifts and Quality Time.
Relationship tendencies: Heart on his sleeve. He loves passionately and fleetingly save a special few whom he never stops loving but still ultimately doesn’t stay with (except in threads where obviously we have ships who capture him completely). He’s a complete scoundrel and a user, though he doesn’t do so out of disrespect, only from the joy of life and the desire for pleasant company. He does not like to be tied down, ever free like the bird of his name. He breaks hearts and trust frequently.
MISCELLANEOUS
Character theme song: Jack Sparrow by Hans Zimmer :P
Hobbies to pass the time: Drinking rum, sailing the Black Pearl, frequenting brothels, generally pirating.
Mental illnesses: Smatterings of PTSD. Locker madness. Narcissism. Alcoholism.
Physical illnesses: Syphilis. Someone please give him some penicillin.
Left or right brained: Right brained though some left factors in there, too.
Fears: Indefinite confinement/slavery, being forgotten, death.
Self confidence level: High. Except when he’s properly afraid, then it takes a drastic downward spiral.

All in the Family || Barbossa & Newheart
@captbarbossa
The Scottish Lowlands: a place both foreign and home to the woman. Clarice closed her eyes and inhaled the chilled air that smelt of long grass and musk that lingered off the moors that littered the vast landscape. When she opened her eyes she could see the village in the distance that she once called her own. The woman never thought she would return but when she got word her brothers had wished to return home and help their fellow clans, Clarice knew she had to stop by. So many years had passed she wondered if they would recognize their younger half sibling.
“Hector,” the Scotswoman called out, looking over her shoulder and watching him follow the path behind her. “The village is just’ o’er the hill.” Her eyes followed him until he caught up, a smirk upon her marred features. She turned to face him, bringing her form close to his before straightening out his jacket and belts. “Are yeh certain ta be meetin’ my family?” A pause followed by a small sigh. “Well…what is left o’ it. Meh bràthairs.”
Another pause before her smile returned. “Yeh are goin’ ta love em’ or despise em’, mo ghràdh. No’thin in between.” At that she let out a rather hearty laugh before hooking her arm with his, starting their journey to the village that had grown quite a bit since she was there last. As they walked up and into the town, Clarice was giving short stories of her childhood; where she fell out of a tree trying to scare her brothers, where she learned to use a bow and arrow with her uncle, the spot where a boy named Cal tried to kiss her and she broke his jaw and three ribs. Her stories stopped short when a horse and carriage came down the path, causing the redhead to quickly get off the trail and put Hector between the horse and her as it passed.
“Dinnae trust those creatures…”
Once it was gone she continued on the path with her lover en tow, both of them taking in the village before them. Well, there were certainly more pubs this time around. “Aw, there,” she pointed to an old tavern with plenty of noise emitting from it. “Always found em’ in there. It is a start.” Clarice did well to ignore the looks the two pirates were receiving from the locals; pirates weren’t often seen in Drumfries, considering they had to sail up the River Nith. However, she did catch sight of a few elders who were eyeing her, trying to figure out if that was the young Newhart girl they had seen so many years ago.
The younger woman could already feel Hector’s apprehension and it only amused her. She chuckled when they reached the entrance, hearing a lively crowd inside. Clarice stopped Hector, bringing her lips to his in a kiss, whispering a small thank you for not wearing the wig and the British hat. “Yeh know how Scots feel aboot ta British.”
When the two entered it felt misplaced. A thought of a domestic life came to her mind, making her wonder what her life would have been like if her father had not become a sailor and her mother had not died. Would she follow in her mother’s footsteps? Stay at home, take care of the kids, and care for her husband? She did not care for such a thought. Emerald eyes scanned the patrons but did not see the familiar faces of her brothers. She proceeded to find the bartender, asking him if he knew the two men. His ears perked and he was suddenly intrigued with the redhead speaking Gaelic to him. Clarice chuckled and gave a nod when he asked if they were kin. The bartender rounded the counter rather quickly and brought her into a solid hug. Clarice cleared her throat and gave the man light tap on his back; she wasn’t much of a hugger with strangers.
“We’ve heard stories of yeh, lass! Go en su’prise em in ta back!”
With Hector behind her she made her way to the back room, slowly entering in without knocking. Her eyes brightened when she caught sight of the two heads facing her; backs turned to the two pirates.
“Look at those two ugly blokes, takin’ up all the finest Scotch.”
The two men slowly turned around to see who would dare come in on their private card game only to insult them. It took a moment but the first one stood up quickly and shouted a childhood nickname she had not heard in decades.
“Lang may yer lum reek! Our wee sister!”
It was then the other rose with some difficulty, standing a good 6’7” and 255 of pure stocky muscle. Pure unintelligible Gaelic came from his mouth as he rushed on over to the slender pirate. Her 5’11” stature appeared small compared to her twin brothers. More Gaelic gibberish was being spewed as he easily picked up his sister, giving her a tight squeeze.
“Seamus! Dinnae break me, lad!” She laughed as he put her down; apologizing while running a large hand through messy red locks that matched hers in color. The other twin laughed and gave her a big hug too before taking a step back to size her up. “I suppose yeh grew a few inches, wee sis.” Clarice merely shook her head with a smirk. “The scars,” he motioned to her face, “Yeh tryin’ ta look like Da?”
“Thank ye, Sean.” She ignored the other statement. “I see yeh grew out n’ not up.” The three laughed together for some time before Seamus slowly noticed a man standing behind his sister, looking entirely out of place and nothing like a Scotsman.
“Cò an duine grànda seo?” The bulkier of the twins remarked with a sneer upon his face.
“Now, now Seamus…dinnae use ugly words ta describe a man.” Both brothers glowered past her, staring at Hector with intent to maim. Clarice put a hand on each of their rather sturdy chests, preventing them from taking a step further. “Mo bhràithrean… this be Captain Hector Barbossa.”
“A…friend?” Sean questioned with some confusion.
“Yes…but also my husband. Mo ghaol.” Clarice then took a step away from her brothers and moved to the side. Seamus went off in Gaelic, asking her when the hell did she get married and why would she marry a man like…this? Clarice had to listen hard before shutting him up with a hand in the air.
“Sean…Seamus… the weddin’ was simple. Yeh know I would hae invited both ye’ if I was able.” She then went into Gaelic so Hector could not understand what she was saying. Once she was done she looked to her lover and gave an apologetic smirk accompanied with a small head nod.
“Hector, my brothers Sean and Seamus. As yeh can see, Seamus is missin’ an eye. That is how yeh can tell the two apart.”
The twins didn’t move but rather stared at the pirate, waiting for him to make a move.

C2: RETURN TO SHIPWRECK COVE. PART 3#
The room was small and bare, with a bed which she could tell from a glance creaked terribly. A chest of drawers, empty. A chair with a woven seat stood against the wall. A small table sat in the corner, an old pot of ink, but no papers, no quill. An inch-thick layer of dust covered everything, as Teague had warned. No one had entered this room for quite some time. She could find nothing personal. Nothing which could tell her about Jack, from when he was simply Jackie. Jackie Teague. The boy before the legend. A pang of disappointment gripped her stomach. She had hoped to know him better. Something of his childhood which he would never have told her himself.
Nevertheless, the room smelled of him. As though he had just left the room. Something spiced, a vague hint of sandalwood, and... sweat. Quite overpoweringly of sweat, in fact, considering he hadn't set foot in the room for Lord knows how long. And there was something else... something...
Elizabeth moved towards the bed, the bedding seeming to be the source of the smell, as, where else could his scent be coming from? She pulled back the covers gingerly, and gasped, leaping back. Blood. Dark, old, blackened blood. With a brave sweep, she pulled away the thin blankets entirely. The bed was soaked through. Or had been, some time ago.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Yes?" Her voice broke. She couldn't take her eyes off the blood, wondering whose it was, and hoping to God that it wasn't Jack's.
The door inched open with a creak, and when she turned, she saw a little man, grey and slightly bowed, backing into the room, carrying a stack of linens in his arms as he pushed the door open with his shoulder.
"'ere y'are, yer Kingly-ness." His voice was smooth and grandfatherly, and as he turned, kind blue eyes caught her worried gaze, following it to the bed. The man shook his head sadly. "Aye, t'was a bad time, that."
"What happened here?"
The man placed the bedding down on the wicker chair, taking a moment first to wipe away the best of the dust with a rather soiled handkerchief.
"I've been 'ere since Jackie were a wee lad." He explained, stripping the bloodstained bedding away as he did so. "I was born int' piratin', but truth be told, never been much good a' sea. Much prefer land, so I found myself 'ere, amongst me own, withou' 'avin' t' do much wot pirates be doin'. The lad weren' like tha', though. It surprised no one when 'e ran off t' the sea the momen' 'e turned four'een, withou' so much as a 'bye, pops' to ol' Teague. 'E'd come back now and then, though... always sportin' an injury which needed seein' t'."
Elizabeth's eyes widened. So it was Jack's blood.
"Aye, Miss." The man said, seeing her worry. "There were one particular night... nigh ten years ago or so, now. The boy came stumblin' back, 'avin' sailed 'ere in a little scrap of a boat, with a man named Gibbs. 'Is only crew a' the time, though if you'd seen this boat of 'is, 'e were in no need of a crew. It were small enough to be manned alone. No, 'e'd lost 'is ship, the Pearl, quite recently, in fact, and was still cut up about it. Loves that ship like a mistress, 'e does. So, Gibbs practically carried 'im up 'ere, up the hill, screamin' the whole way for a doc'or. Obviously, place like this, we 'ave one, an' we give 'm enough business to keep 'im 'ere. Doc'or Grove, is 'is name. 'E saw to the lad. 'E'd been shot, twice." The man patted his chest, just over his heart. "T'was a near miss. A few inches further south an'... Well, Teague were furious with 'im. The lad 'ad 'ad a pistol, after all, but 'e'd refused to use it. 'That bullet weren' mean' fer 'im, Dad', 'e kept sayin'. Never seen old Teague so mad, I ain'." Taking the straw mattress, which was also stained straight through, he carried it out into the hallway, returning moments later with a replacement. "This were pillaged just a week ago from a fine Spanish galleon. Should be more fittin' for a King." It was too large for the small bed frame, hanging limply onto the floor, but Elizabeth was grateful all the same.
"I've seen Jack's scars." Elizabeth confessed, thinking back to their time on the island, having been mutinied by Barbossa. She thought of the dark cloud which had crossed Jack's gaze as he had drawn back his sleeves. "How on Earth did he survive?"
The man glanced towards the skies. "Miracle, I reckon. That lad's seen 'is fair share. Someone's smilin' down at 'im, scoundrel though 'e is. 'E must 'ave charmed an angel in a prior life, I reckon. Nah, 'e pulled through by the skin of 'is teeth. I s'pose no one thought to change the beddin'. 'e only ever comes by with some injury or other, when this is the closest friendly bit of land with a doc'or. Whatever 'e lies on would only get soiled again anyway." He busied himself, tucking fine sheets - no doubt taken also from a fine galleon - as best he could under the oversized mattress, and fluffing a fresh goose pillow.
"And that was the last time? That Jack was here?"
"Aye." He brushed his hands together as he stood back to admire his work. "Though..." His face froze, and he half-turned, smiling at Elizabeth with a glint in his cornflower-blue eyes. "Now I come to think of it, there were one other time since. Quite recen'ly, in fact. Couple years back. 'E'd just gotten 'is Pearl back, I believe, an' it were once again ol' Gibbs who brought Jack 'ere, the lad staggerin' an' shoutin' that 'e didn' need no doc'or, 'e just needed 'is Pearl, but Gibbs knew best, as always."
Elizabeth's eyes widened. That must have happened since they had met, after she had watched him from the battlements of Port Royal, sailing into the distance. "What happened?"
"Fever. 'E'd caught summit nasty from some tribe, an' it were burnin' through him. Delirious, 'e were. Rantin' an' ravin' one minute, weepin' into the pillow, the next." He was eying Elizabeth curiously now, watching her. She shifted uncomfortably. "After all 'e'd survived before, no one doubted for a moment that 'e wouldn't pull through. A legend like 'e's carved out for 'imself, 'e could 'ardly go down to a fever, now, could 'e? But it were a nasty sickness, all the same. I remember one evenin', the night before the fever broke, I came in carryin' a tray of broth, to try an' get summit into 'im, an' there were no one else there at the time but the doc'or. The lad were sleepin', so it seemed, but 'e were mutterin' t' 'imself, nonsense, as always, an' neither the doc'or nor I paid it much mind, until..." He stepped closer to Elizabeth now, his voice dropping to a mere whisper. "'E started speakin' a name."
A coil tightened in Elizabeth's gut. "A name?"
"Aye. Name of a woman. Chantin' it, quiet, like, under 'is breath. Now, it caught my attention because I know the lad not to be the settlin' sort. 'E's 'ad 'is flirtations, sure, but no one 'as ever truly caught 'is eye, to my knowledge. The doc'or noticed too, an' asked me if I recognised the name. I said I didn'. 'E stopped as soon as 'e started, an' 'e woke the next mornin', past the worst of it."
Elizabeth licked her lips, her mouth suddenly dry. She wasn't sure if she wanted to know. Obviously Jack had had his fair share of women, but to think that one would leave her mark enough for him to speak her name during his delusions. But of course, her curiosity was too great.
"What was the name?"
The man smirked. "Lizabeth."
Her face burned, and for a moment she lost herself, her mouth gaping with shock. He had spoken her name. They had parted ways, and yet he had chanted her name, calling for her, perhaps dreaming of her under the heavy sleep of fever. What could that mean, besides...?
Pulling her lips into a pout of indignation, she stepped back sharply. "Common enough name. No doubt the whorehouses of Tortuga are teaming with Elizabeths and Lizzys and Elizas and... I'd thank you not to look at me that way." She snapped at his knowing gaze. "And to keep any gossiping thoughts to yourself."
The man mimicked drawing a line across his lips in an oath of silence. "Believe me, Miss, with all that goes on 'ere, that would be one of the more mundane tidbits, anyway."
Still not convinced, she asked warily. "What is your name?"
"Perkins, Miss." He didn't bow, as the gentlemen of Port Royal would have. This was the Kingdom of Pirates, after all. "Pleasure's all mine."
She nodded her head curtly. "Thank you for replacing the bed. I think... I shall sleep now."
The bid him goodnight, locking the door behind him.
Sitting heavily onto the bed, the mattress dipping dangerously off the side of the bed-frame, she thought about all she had learnt that night. She imagined Jack, in this very room, as a young boy desperate to follow the call of the sea, until the urge had been too strong to resist any longer. She imagined him on this bed, writhing in agony while a doctor pulled the bullets from his chest. So much blood had been lost. How on earth had he survived? She imagined him bathed in sweat, sleeping in the bloodstains of his last visit, chanting for her, calling for her. She imagined herself, water bowl in hand, dabbing with a cloth at his brow, soothing him. Clinging to his hand as the doctor performed his crude surgery on his wounds. Stroking his hair as the wounds were cleaned with precious rum, and cauterised with red hot metal. She imagined them both, in this bed, whispering to each other...
Oh, you hussy. Her husband not but a few hours gone, and already she was picturing herself with another man. And not just any man. That man.
God, ten years was a long time, indeed. Her body had been awakened to sensual realities of womanhood, and she knew that she couldn't wait ten years. But as for him... no, she'd have to steer clear of him. Jack was as much a danger to her heart as to her body. He would worm his way into her heart, and stay there. And she must protect Will's heart, above all else. Protect it within her own.
But as for physical pleasure... she resolved again to find a way of communicating with Calypso. After all, all men took lovers, why not a Pirate King?
Removing her heavily armoured coat and belt, she slipped beneath the covers in her black dress, placing her effects on the ground, within easy reach. Glancing again to check the lock of the door, her hand skimmed over her thighs, her fingers travelling to that secret part of her. A part of her still sore from her hasty honeymoon. Flashes of images raced through her mind as she touched herself. A pair of dark, kind eyes. Strong, calloused hands on her bare waist. Her fingers tracing over a scar on a man's chest. Soft, greedy lips tasting her own. A wry smirk. A glint of gold.
Tipping herself into ecstasy, she let the night take her, and let her exhaustion claim her.
